Papitos Paella & More
There’s so much to love about a good paella: the crispy rice, the succulent seafood…and of course the fact there’s only one big pot to clean at the end of the night! But seriously, this award-winning outfit based out of PasarBella delivers a truly scrumptious dish (reasonably priced at $13/person), along with other delish items like Butterfly Roast Chicken and Spanish Crackling Pork Belly.
