"I have ordered the Black Paella for takeout or delivery 9 times now, and it is one of only 2 dishes I have tried from this restaurant (the other being rice with cuttlefish, which was much less flavorful/exciting). Overall, my experience has been quite inconsistent, with some dishes being excellent while others are only average. One positive aspect is the abundance of seafood - I particularly enjoy the tender squid and perfectly cooked scallops. There are many delicious flavors when the dish is prepared correctly, and the ripe plantains are also a standout. However, there are some downsides to consider: 1) occasionally finding broken shells and grit in the dish (eating slowly is recommended), 2) the dish can be overly salty at times (personal preference can adjust), adding shredded salad and tomato helped balance this out, 3) the rice is sometimes overcooked, and 4) the taste can vary. Additionally, the staff I interacted with when picking up my order seemed a bit indifferent or dismissive. In conclusion, while I love the seafood in this dish, ordering it can be a bit of a gamble."
