Jaleo - Non-Spicy Options

[BK2014]

DW and have an ADR at Jaleo this weekend. We have never been, and I am not sure I fully understand the menu. DW does not eat spicy foods. Can anyone recommend some dishes that we could share that are not spicy? Thanks!

Spinach
Mushrooms
Serrano ham
Croquetas de pollo
Patatas bravas (they’re not that spicy)
Grilled Cheese
Grilled Skirt Steak
Grilled Chicken Breast

Nothing is all that spicy there. It's Spanish tapas, not Mexican food.

Thank you. We have no prior experience with Spanish tapas, so we don't know what to expect.

You can expect lots of flavor, but nothing overly spicy.

Jaleo is fantastic, you will love it. Very flavorful, some dishes are heavier on garlic (which I love), but nothing really spicy. Just to be on the safe side, let your waiter know that you can’t eat spicy - they will steer you in the right direction

Yep, the servers are going to be your best bet. They know the menu inside and out.

Spanish food tends to be more Mediterranean. A lot of people in the US are more familiar with Mexican or Latino cuisines, but they're not very similar. The paella is a signature dish at Jaleo, but I preferred the croquetas and the liquified olives.

Thanks! We are both fans of garlic. I like spicy, but DW doesn't and I am guessing we will be sharing plates at Jaleo. Good suggestion to ask the server.

The carne asada is the only thing I remember having any spice to it. I've also heard the patatas bravas is spicy but I've never ordered it.
