La Paella Sevilla

Excellent paella can be found here. I really enjoyed my arroz negra. It's was super tasty, with plenty of cuttlefish pieces mixed in with the rice. The prawns were nice and tender too. The aioli was a perfect accompaniment to the dish. All washed down with a beer. It was all served up with a friendly smile. What more would you want!

Stopped in on the first day in Seville around 11:30. They were making the paellas of the day in what looked like 1-meter pans. They actually serve you in paper take out containers each of which costs around 9.50 euros. We had one black rice and one ficeua. The taste was good. The black ink lacked protein and the fideua had plenty. I was disappointed after watching a few YouTube videos of paella in Seville in which the maker of the video bought a small container for 2.50 euros. I really wanted a taste and instead we paid 19 euros. I asked the owner for the small portions and was told that the only size was the ration at 9.50. He didn't tell me that at his other location less than a kilometer away there were three choices from 4 to 6.50. My conclusion. I was disappointed! I ate paella after that at Gusto which is within 100 feet away, and while the price is more than double, the taste, quality and enjoyment was more than double. The owner just replied to tell me that I was mistaken. Unfortunately, I wasn't. I arrived at 11:30 and the staff were making some of the paellas and took my order for two of the paellas that were already made. Not only did I ask for a small portion, I told the fellow who I was speaking with that on the YouTube video there were two small sizes. He too corrected me to tell me that I was wrong. Clearly, I wasn't. This was and is a mistake for people who can both afford sit down full service restaurants and doesn't come up to the level of those that we went to. Period!

Microwaved Paella, not bad but ingredients let it down. Lots of rice but not much seafood in that type and one prawn in the squid ink paella. Served in adequate tubs it was filling if nothing else. At €7:50 per unit I guess it’s not too bad.

Buenos arroces, buenas raciones, y buen precio. Lo recomiendo. Repetiremos.

Paella muy rica, repetiría sin dudas. Si lo que quieres es comida al paso, es el lugar correcto!!
