the guac and fried plantain appetizer was extremely tiny. there were 4 small-ish fried plantains and the guac was in this tiny metal container, like the one you get ketchup in. there was barely any. i dont think that was even a whole avocado. taste was ok. the fish dish that i got was very good. this is what i order every time i go there. my friend liked her goat dish. red velvet dessert was very good and affordable. i was not happy that they run out of the sparklers for the birthday dessert. i wrote on open table that we were celebrating my friend's bday so you would think they would reserve a sparkler for you. two other tables got the sparklers before us. and they didn't play the birthday music like they did for the 2 other tables. what were we, chopped liver? the music was nice and lively but it was way too loud. you had to scream across the table to hear each other.

I went to celebrate my birthday with family and close friends. I had such a great time at Jalao. The food was great. The staff were so friendly and kind.

The food was amazing. I would suggest the shrimp mofongo. The ambience is very tight so it sometimes feels like you are sitting with another party but that’s NYC. I would highly suggest it.

Great service, tasty food, a great experience overall!

Service was great and the patio space is a must for date night.
