La Paella, Mid City (W)
I love tapas, and it isn't necessarily because I'm all about the chorizo, shellfish and other seafood, but moreso because I love the experience of trying all sorts of small plates and sharing dishes with the company so we can compare our thoughts about the food. I recently went to La Paella, and got to try a few of their small plates as well as their famous paella, and I was not disappointed.
We ordered the: Chorizo and sauteed mushrooms, spinach with raisins and pine nuts, manchego and patatas bravas, as well as the Paella Marinera. It was all, oh-so-good. The patatas bravas were perfectly spicy, which was a terrific complement to the slight sweetness of the spinach and raisins. The mushrooms and chorizo were a hearty yummy morsels.
The paella was terrific, it came with mussels, clams, lobster, bay scallops, and prawns. It was light on the saffron and the perfect texture. The waiter served it in a giant pan and it could have served 4. Needless to say, we were only able to finish MAYBE 1/3 of it before we had to pack up the rest.
