"One of my favorite places in Villa De Leyva. The food is incredible. In my opinion they should’ve gotten first place in Valencia !!"

"The paella comes with A LOT of seafood, but unfortunately it lacks flavours & tasted very flat, the rice texture feels a bit weird, the fish doesn’t taste very fresh or maybe it was not a good choice of fish? The prawn was big & fresh but maybe the way the grill it, doesn’t bring out the taste of the prawn.
My mom and I have tasted a lot of paella everywhere we go, especially we just had really good paella the day before in Bogota at a cheaper price, it is difficult for us to recommend this place to others. Also it is 30mins walk from the town, doesn’t feel like the walk was worth it.
Although the ambience is good with live music & the service is attentive."
