Patatas bravas – Jaleo

Patatas bravas - Jaleo
Fried potato with spicy tomato sauce and aioli. $7.50
Jaleo, Crystal City VA

Mmm, this was SO good! I’m not even a fan of THAT much aioli, but the dark flavorful tomato sauce help to drown out the excessive amount of aioli. Patatas bravas are one of my favorites tapas and Jaleo did right by it. I’m in heaven!

Now that is a heck of a lot of aioli.

  Yeah, I was a little grossed out when it first arrived, but it still tasted great.

I love patatas bravas! Only with aioli though, a lot of places serve them without

  That’s lame! I guess I’ve rarely had them served without aioli. I think the spicy tomato sauce and/or the aioli are required for patatas bravas. Usually they use both though.

    I know right! I’ve been to several places where they only served them with tomato sauce. I really think patatas bravas need both to be at their best.
