About this spot
Casa Paella brings the smoky, saffron-heavy flavors of Spain to Bogotá's Chapinero neighborhood with generous portions that feel like a proper meal rather than an appetizer. Expect a bustling atmosphere where locals and expats alike gather to debate the merits of their mixed seafood paellas versus the classic chicken and vegetable version.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'paella mixta' if you want a variety of shellfish, but save room for the separate rice dish known as arroz con pollo.
- Ask for extra saffron when ordering your paella to ensure that distinct golden hue and earthy flavor profile.
- Bring cash or have pesos ready, as many Spanish restaurants in Chapinero do not accept credit cards at the counter.
