Great place to visit for authentic and high quality Spanish tapas! The service and atmosphere is always excellent, and the new location looks beautiful. As far as recommendations, you should definitely splurge on the bellota ham, nothing compares! The Paella Negra is also a must, and the Artisan bread with garlic is to die for. Whether this is your first time eating Spanish food, or you're looking for authentic flavors, Jamón Jamón is the place for you!

So good, you'll probably món. Jamón jamón is a Spanish tapas spot that relocated to middle-of-nowhere Henderson earlier this year. We're talking the entire plaza looking deserted on Sunday afternoon. I mean it's so far that even the chef had trouble getting there on time. I'll be here all week. Well, no, but I actually do wish I could be here the whole week after seeing the values on their weekday happy hour menu (M-F 3-5pm). Sadly, the best we got was a complimentary order of their bread ($8.00) for our wait. On the plus side, that was one of my favorite parts of the meal. The bread has a nice thick crust and good levels of chewiness throughout. The freshly grated garlic and the sweet tomato jam are great accompaniments too. You may be well-served to save some bread to enjoy with some of the tapas. The Mixed Olives ($10.00) are really potent on their own, but the bread and tomato jam worked well to temper them, and the Salchichon Bellota ($16.00) also worked well with bread alone or bread and garlicky oil. FYI, there is a mild acorn note on that sausage, although it's not as prominent as in a Jamón Iberico (which I skipped out on this time). These items, as well as the flavorful but slightly salty Mushrooms Al Ajillo ($15.00), would also work better if we'd ordered an alcohol pairing of some sort The best bite was actually the Cubanito ($16.00), a mini Cuban sandwich that was amazing in every way. The crispy bread, the savory roast pork, the mustard and pickles were absolutely symphonic. I shy away from superlatives like this, but it's really the best Cuban I've ever had. Coca de Higos ($16.00) is a very fun small app too. Described as a Spanish pizza, it's got Jamón Serrano, goat cheese, arugula, and fig glaze on a crispy cracker crust. The Mussels ($19.00) were interesting. They're tinier than most and don't taste especially better on their own, but the orange, vermouth, and spices are a drastically different and more subtle flavor profile than what I'm accustomed to. Dipping the bread in the sauce worked well here too. Last but not least, the Crispy Pork Belly ($21.00) showed up. It was not quite the star of the meal as I'd hoped as it was a bit tougher than other crispy pork belly preparations I've had in the past. We're talking like both my friend and I were struggling to cut through that sucker with a serrated knife. On top of that, the rice was a bit dry. The mustard sauce worked so well with the pork though, once we got it into smaller pieces. It was good overall. The music was mostly Christmas-y since that's just around the corner. Service was solid, which was expected because only one other table showed up while we were there, so hopefully word gets around and more people discover this restaurant. Jamón Jamón is truly a hidden gem and is worth a trek for something far from the usual. I'm looking forward to returning for happy hour and to try some of the bigger entrees (paellas, steaks) and desserts some time.

Just Go! New location is great, live music and a full dining room this restaurant felt great. Very professional and thoughtful service, I believe the Chef / owners daughter was our server and their care really showed through. The food was delicious from beginning to end, Garlic shrimp and Boquerones Toast were my favorite bites but the spicy mushrooms, clams, cauliflower and all the salads were great as well. Hard to pick a favorite as each dish was really well prepared. Stuck with sangria most of dinner but after trying the carajillo (amazing) I regret not trying a wider variety. Definitely going back soon, worth the drive 100%

Incredible Dinning Experience with Chef Rafael Very relaxing and elegant atmosphere. The food was flavorsome and mouthwatering. The pairing with the Sangria is perfection.

It was a very good experience. The food was very good. A very pleasant experience. A nice ambience with good music. The service was outstanding as well. I recommend this place for very good authentic Spanish food! The Escalalibadas was very good. The seafood paella was okay. The Amish chicken fritters were okay as well. Gambas al Ajillo was great. And the desserts were brilliant as well!

Cute and intimate Spanish tapas restaurant! We recently got back from Spain and have been craving tapas so we had to check this place out especially because it's less than 10 minutes from us! The staff is all SO friendly and attentive. We went on a Saturday at 3pm and it wasn't crowded so we were seated immediately. They have happy hour from 3-5 on drinks. I ordered the Cava. We split three tapas, the patatas bravas, croquettes de jamon, and the pan con jamon. All the food was a 10/10. My husband is particular with the pan con tomato/jamon and he LOVED it. The ambiance here is also very cute and intimate with lots of natural lighting. They have a wood fired oven inside too. Very authentic and delish! We can't wait to come back for more. I need to try their paella next! There's not many tapas places in Vegas anymore so I'm very excited to have found this gem of a place!

One of the best things I ever ate: Crispy Pork Belly from Jamón Jamón in Henderson, Nevada. Nom nom! Other notes: - Jamón Jamón focuses on traditional, authentic, and comfort Spaniard gastronomy. The chef is from Spain. He attended culinary school in France, and he has worked in several Michelin star restaurants in Spain. - Beets are one of my favorite vegetables, and I definitely plan to order the golden beets from here again. I like that this recipe is both sweet and savory and has textural contrast from the garnish of nuts. - I visited their old location on W Sahara with my family a couple years ago. This new location in Henderson is more spacious and more modern with an industrial chic aesthetic. - Service was satisfactory. - The restaurant is well off the beaten path in the Calico Ridge neighborhood in Henderson. It's a great option if you prefer a more laid back setting or want a memorable meal without having to wait in line for hours or book a reservation months in advance.

Taste of Spain! Takes me back to our trip to Spain last year.... minus the cramped tables and tiny spaces that most great tapas places are found in Spain (at least the ones I found to be exceptional.) This place is spacious... and so should your belly be. There are so many yummy eats to try. I'm so happy that this is not far in case I need to feed my hankering for tapas and Spanish flavors. Anyways.... it was only our first visit but we left incredibly full and excited to return. They maximize dining space so the entry is pretty small. However ... you are welcomed with a huge black horse. It immediately captures your attention. (I love it!) They even have patio seating... but this summer is brutal in SoNV so sitting outside when it's still 109 degrees at 6pm is still a little painful. Thankfully they have a large, indoor, air conditioned dining area. We got here about 5:40pm on Thursday .... and only about 4 tables were sat... when we left about 7... most of the tables inside were filled. Definitely a fun place to bring family and friends who are adventurous eaters that want to try new dishes. I was impressed with how extensive their menu is.... Tapas of course. They also had a large selection of steaks, regular sized entrees, several different paellas and even flatbreads. Really something for everyone. Their wine list... Oh man... it's going to take me some time to get through it. I love trying new Spanish wines and their list is fantastic. Not the run of the mill wines here. You are not finding these at Albertsons nor Smiths. Most of the list is BTG... meaning you can try a couple different ones to pair with different dishes. They also have Sangria but I didn't try it this time.... next time. We thoroughly enjoyed the following: *House made roasted peanuts - no salt... it makes for a nice little nibble while you wait for your dishes to come out. (They come out as they are finished and really in no particular order if you order them all at once.) * Tomate con pan - piled high with sweet, flavorful tomato meat - the bread was a little too thick for my liking... I prefer the thinner, crustier bread we enjoyed while in Barcelona * Boquerones (white anchovies) - served on bread (same bread as above) I first tried these in Spain and now try them everywhere... of course, they are fishy... but not the super oily, salty, fishy kinds most people are thinking of. These are milder and make a great snack! * Jamon Serrano - you can't go wrong. It melts in your mouth. I mean... if you are not super hungry... Jamon and a Rioja and it's almost a perfect meal. *Escalibadas (fire roasted peppers, onions in a delectable sauce) *Mixta Paella - chicken, shrimp, chorizo - savory, succulent, incredibly flavorful. Looking forward to trying their other paellas. KEY NOTES: *Peanuts are on every table so if you are super sensitive or are highly allergic, be warned. While you can have them remove the peanuts from your table, it's entirely possible the tables around you will be eating peanuts. *Happy Hour 3-5 daily *Open for lunch and dinner *Closed Monday *Located in what seems to be a deserted, Mediterranean strip mall. Don't let that deter you.

This review is based on a single visit on 7/10/24. - Decor: I love it. An amazing Moooi horse lamp greets you immediately open entry. They have an open kitchen and high ceilings, which is great. - Menu: Lots of great options - including plenty of vegetarian ones. They also have some nice happy hour deals that end at 5 PM. - Food: DELICIOUS and generous - great value! My party of two had the following items and had leftovers: beet salad, croquetas pollo, pan con jamon, albondigas, and gazpacho. I enjoyed every item immensely, but ESPECIALLY the albondigas which were so tender and flavorful as well as the gazpacho, which was topped with crunchy croutons and beyond refreshing on a hot day. - Service: Friendly and on it. We were given fresh plates before we even realized we wanted/ needed it, our glasses were never left empty, and someone ran out to look for me when I absent-mindedly left without my bag. This place is truly a gem. If you have been thinking about eating here, go!!
