The best paella our family has tasted! The entire experience is one that you will remember and is like nothing else. Ben is an amazing chef and he comes in prepared and very friendly. His wife is the best communicator and books the event. He arrived on time and will ask where he should set-up. He even serves your guest either at the table or you come to the area to be served, amazing!! It's a phenomenal service. We had a smaller gathering for my mothers-in-laws 74th birthday. She and everyone in the group enjoyed seeing Ben cook the paella and explain the process. It was really nice to bring the Spanish culture and other cultures that contributed to this dish. It was like traveling to other areas of the world in your own home! Plus it felt like a cooking course and full meal all in one. We enjoyed having the food prepared in front of us, it was so authentic and it smelled so good as it was cooking!!! All the ingredients are fresh and the end product was sooooo good. We had the mixed paella, which included pork, chicken leg, pork sausage, and all types of seafood. Delisioso!! We can't wait to book our next event! We are doing Pig and Paella night soon! Lechon and paella served at our home next! Book them, they are just amazing all around you won't be disappointed! Also, everything is done safely and we observe social distancing with this experience. read more

I hired La Paella for my husband's 50th and they did an awesome job. My friends and I had so much fun with Eric and Donna. Eric and Donna were organized, professional, and helpful, from the prepping to finishing. I ordered the longoustine tail, Ahi Ceviche, spinach croquettes, tortilla espanola. Donna made the appetizers fresh on site and they were perfectly made. We couldn't get enough of them. As for the Paella, I ordered the vegan and regular. Eric cooked the paella perfectly from top to bottom. We all know paella has to be cooked even from top to bottom and he did that. The smell and the ambiance felt we were in Barcelona eating an authentic Spanish paella. Thank you Eric and Donna for a perfect fun evening! read more

LA Paella was hired for my son's 1st birthday last week. Due to all the closures from the COVID-19 pandemic, we didn't know what to expect. Carol, from LA Paella reached back to me almost immediately, and gave us different options and a custom package. This party only consisted of 8 family members, so it was extremely small, but Carol had me rest assured that things would work out. On the day of the event, Benjamin, the chef, arrived on time, and got right to work on the Paella dish. It's no joke that this does take about 1.5 hours to finish cooking, and the presentation was absolutely gorgeous. I felt really bad that Benjamin finished everything, but we were still not ready to eat, due to photo sessions and the cutting of the birthday cake. However, not once did Benjamin rush us, as he stood there patiently waiting until we were ready to be served. At the end, Benjamin was also quite the gentleman, in helping us clean off our plates and even box our leftovers. This may not seem much to some, but these little things really made him stand out. The excellent food and the excellent service is something we will definitely never forget. Thank you LA Paella! read more

Food is fantastic tastes authentic, nice atmosphere. I had been wanting to eat here for years and finally made it. Staff was very nice

The Paella was excellent and a true reflection of Ben's passion for flavor and attention to detail. It was a true experience to watch Ben prepare Paella for our smaller intimate family dinner party. It was one of the more memorable events my family has had together! Thank you guys! read more

We recently celebrated my wife's birthday with a dinner party for our immediate family. LA Paella Catering was contracted to cater the dinner party of 30 family members. Chef Ben and his wife Carol Schuster took care of all details surrounding the preparation and concoction of the 2 paellas they cooked for us that night. The paella was truly extraordinary and every single guest including my finicky grandchildren loved it! Chef Ben pays attention to every detail in providing a stupendously delicious meal. He is self contained and his set up is eye popping and not only did our guests enjoy the food but also seeing the affable Chef Ben prepare the grand meal. LA Paella Catering went beyond our expectations and they will be contracted again. They have our highest recommendation! read more

Had a party this weekend and La Paella did a wonderful job. The food, of course, was terrific, but it was also a lot of fun for the guests to watch the cooking! read more

We used LA Paella to cater our annual family holiday party last year and they were AMAZING! Everyone in my family still raves about them, and I'm kind of stressed right now because I don't know how we're going to top last year's party since LA Paella was so good! They were extremely professional, communicative, and arrived right on schedule. And the paella was so good! We ordered the mixed seafood paella, and several appetizers including the ceviche, meatballs, and bacon wrapped dates, and everything was amazing. Our holiday party was only ~20ish people but they were able to accommodate for our smaller group. They couldn't bring alcohol due to liquor licensing, but they told us what alcohol and ingredients to pick up to make sangria, and then they made an amazing sangria for us as well. I highly highly recommend this company for any catering needs! read more

Wow! So much to share...I will start from the beginning: 1. My first Yelp review ever -- but couldn't resist, given the A++ experience we had. This was an intimate event with just our immediate family celebrating a very special occasion -- the seafood paella (and Benjamin!) made it super fun and *extra* special. 2. Carol was very quick to respond to my initial inquiry and clearly communicated throughout the planning process. They enthusiastically accommodated our last-minute booking and scheduling was a breeze. 3. Chef Benjamin arrived onsite on time and perfectly prepared with EVERYTHING. I'm not sure when/how he did his prep and clean up because he worked quietly in the background and didn't need anything from us. He looked very professional in his chef's garb which is a reflection of how professional it all was from start to finish. 4. The paella was AMAZING! Not just a great presentation, not just delicious, but prepared with care and passion that shone through as he explained the history of the dish and the process of making it. Fascinating and entertaining. Everyone loved it -- both the stories and the paella! 5. We very much appreciated that Benjamin adhered to our safety precautions -- without prompting -- as we've been extremely careful with masks and distancing. 6. Given that I found them randomly through a Google search, I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. It's safe to say they exceeded all of our expectations -- and we are a picky bunch. We can't wait to have LA Paella Catering back for future events! read more

We hired Ben at LA Paella Catering for our son's first birthday party this past summer. Our party guests loved the food that Ben created. We had several small appetizers to start and then two paella options -- seafood and vegetarian. The paella was delicious and everyone was pleased. Most went back for more and several took leftovers home. The small bites were a hit too before we had the main course. Ben was super easy to work with and friendly. He answered numerous questions and was really delightful to augment the food enjoyment. When people asked about how to remove the shells, he was glad to answer. He accomplished a lot working alone. He also was cautious about safety with the hot plates and young children. I would definitely recommend LA Paella Catering for any event and look forward to working with Ben again. read more

LA Paella catered the anniversary party for my firm. They were incredibly professional. The service, presentation, flavors - really everything- was a good as I could have even hoped for. A+! read more

This company is truly 5 star. If there was room to add another star I would. Benjamin was our chef and he knows how to treat his clients. Upmost sincerity , kindness and professionalism. He went out of his way and provided more service and food then was expected. The paella was so freaking good that my guests were calling me the next day to rave about the food. The visual presentation and colours made it even more appetising. My girlfriend who doesn't like seafood is now a seafood lover. I will definitely use them for all my parties. I'm in awe with this company. Take a look at their Instagram and you will see how classy and sophisticated this really is. Carol and Benjamin we are so impressed. Thank you kindly, my birthday was amazing because of L.A Paella. I am so relieved that I picked the best. You took all my stress away. God bless you guys. read more

What an amazing experience to watch a master work his paella magic! While La Pallea Catering certainly delivers on flavor, the real treat is that this meal is created right in front of you. All the cooking happens in a huge pan so you can view all the steps that goes into creating the masterpiece. Its best experienced outdoors - because from the large paella pan set up to the aroma of the flavors building with each stir - you feel as if you have been transported back in time to old Spain - all from the comforts of your own backyard! All you need to do is just sit back and enjoy a glass of wine [or two :)] and prepare yourself for a delicious treat. Paella is a great change up from traditional catering and easily serves 10 hungry guests. We CANT WAIT to invite La Paellea back to our next party! read more

The paella was a hit at our housewarming and birthday party! Everyone loved it and was so impressed with the flavors and presentation. I lived in Spain briefly years ago and was craving paella and am so glad I was referred to Ben and La Paella catering. Ben is so professional and clearly dedicated. We didn't quite figure out our backyard space and Ben had to work right in the sun, but he was all smiles and just said he would make it work. He brings everything to you, so you don't have to worry about a thing. From the carefully sourced ingredients, beautiful presentation, and friendly, warm presence, Ben really helped make our gathering a unique, enjoyable and memorable experience. The end result - delicious paella made right in front of you! Highly recommend La Paella catering for your next event or even intimidate gathering! Hope we can do it again sometime! read more

L.A. Paella did an anniversary party for us this past weekend for about 40 people.  It was a great success with our guests as they nibbled delicious appetizers (the Ahi Ceviche and Spinach Croquettes were particular favorites) and watched the preparation of the paellas--one traditional and a smaller vegan one.  Ben and Carol are very nice and Ben makes a joyful, delicious, authentic paella.  But more than that, they are super-organized and professional as their is staff is too.   They all seem happy to be there which makes for a nice atmosphere and a more successful party.  The owners were very accommodating when we needed to reschedule.  Would highly recommend. read more

We signed up for the Paella class and it was so much fun! We learned how to make some delicious Spanish cuisine and were able to eat it along the way. The class was small which really aided in the intimacy - we were able to ask whatever questions we wanted and got to know a bit more about the chefs as well. They were really good at making everyone feel included and took into account people's budgets. Nearly everything used to make the delicious paella could be found at Trader Joe's, who knew it could be so affordable! Overall, it was a really awesome experience and we recommend it to all our friends! read more
