According to the ranking of the Taste Atlas gastronomic guide, Spain has the third best cuisine in the world. So it is not surprising that a Spanish food restaurant is successful or causes a sensation among diners, as is the case of the tiktoker Estefany Gomez. Jaleo is located in Medellín, a tapas bar where there is no shortage of classics of Spanish gastronomy.
In Jaleo you can eat patatas bravas, montaditos, paellas, Galician octopus or chorizo ??croquettes. In the video that he posted on his TikTok account to recount the experience, Gómez assured that he was surprised because the bar kept bringing out very tasty and well-presented dishes.
In addition, the menu could not miss the Spanish beer. In his letter, Jaleo offers Estrella Galicia and Mahou. You can also enjoy an Aperol Spritz or a Spanish wine such as Protos Crianza 2017 or a Marqués de Riscal Reserva 2018. Cocktails and sparkling wines are also on the menu.
According to Gómez, Jaleo has the aroma of a Spanish tavern “thanks to the imposing hams that are hung on its bar counter.” And it is that the hams are not lacking in the menu of the bar, since they are part of the tables that offer matured and matured cheeses.
Other notable tapas at Jaleo are the Spanish omelette, garlic shrimp, a mix of pickles and anchovies, sautéed orellanas, squid with potatoes, or mussels in red sauce.
“This is the dream come true for all lovers of Hispanic culture,” Gómez added while showing how he ate some churros with chocolate, one of the two desserts offered by the bar, along with crema catalana. Of course, in the case of the churros, the chocolate came in a small bowl that Gómez later poured over the plate.
