    Carla and Rolando were warm, welcoming and very attentive to all the guests there. The tapas were delicious and the timing was perfect. The flamenco dancing was entertaining, enjoyable and fun. The four of us in our party agreed that the sangria was totally watered down and tasted like flavored water. The other thing we were surprised about was that the mole we were given (as an extra) was served without anything to put it on....i.e. tortilla, cracker, plain cookie (like Bischoff). Never heard of it being served that way.

    From the moment we arrived we felt at home with Carla, who has an incredibly warm presence. She had done basic prep work in advance so we could get right to cooking the paella. She knew these dishes well, offered great suggestions and we enjoyed a delicious meal at the end. And no clean up! Carla did that. We already talked about taking her mole class. Fun, relaxing, joyfully delicious experience that we'd highly recommend.
