text: I have dined at a couple other Jaleo locations so I knew what to expect coming in This outpost in the Cosmopolitan is just as busy if not more so than the others It is a big open space with plenty of close tables that is geared toward social diningnnBut the star here is the food The boneless chicken wings with roasted garlic herb puruee were some of the best wings I have had better than the wings at any sports bar The piquillo peppers stuffed with dungeness crabmeat is another winner The combo of the sweet meaty crab and the heat from the peppers left me craving morennOther dishes we tired were good but not as spectacular as the ones previously mentioned The croquetas de jamufn Ibuerico come four to an order and as was expected were deliciously crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside The fried dates wrapped in bacon are always a hit but I still prefer the bacon wrapped dates from Firefly The steamed mussels with bay leaf and white wine were my least favorite dish The broth was on the bland side and the mussels well I have had betternnDrinks were above average Joses Gin Tonic described as the best gin and tonic you will ever have was excellent The white sangria is a bowl of ice and fruit which they bring to the table then add a bottle of cava tableside A decent beverage that is good enough for a group of three or four but more style than substance in my opinionnnWhat I really wanted to try during my visit was the lobster paella But they were not serving it that night or at least while we were there They only had the rabbit paella which we passed on So I will gladly come back to sample it and try more tapas
