Small groups, vegetarian and non-seafood alternatives, English and Spanish instruction, and take-home recipes make this a practical food experience.

When I looked down at my plate of paella it was gone! I had no time to eat my paella! And I think they just threw it away , not sure. I just wish they would have asked me if I would like to take it with me.”
