Jaleo
The whole tapas thing has been done to death, but Jaleo helped start the trend in DC and it still serves some of the best Spanish cuisine in town. The interior is an Iberian pastiche of explosive color and vintage mural-dom, which all underlines, rather than overpowers, the quality of the excellent food. Opt for the tapas over the main dishes, which are a bit overpriced, and why not wash down those little plates with a heavy rioja to get that Flamenco edge on.

Aqua Ardiente
Sshhh, don't tell anyone, Washingtonian's would rather keep this neighborhood Spanish place a secret. The vibe is tribal trendy meets spiritual, with a Madonna shrine, Indian masks and silky rouge curtains. The menu is billed as Nouveau Latino, and offers a slew of ceviches and an extensive wine list.
