Como Taperia is bringing back its summer-long paella series
Summertime was made for dining on patios with friends, and what better way to do so than by sipping on chilled gin and tonics and indulging in fresh seafood dishes?
Como Taperia, the acclaimed Spanish tapas spot in Mount Pleasant, is helping diners get ready for the warm weather and good times by bringing back its Patio Paella series.
Teaming up with the Paella Guys, Como will invite guests to try out the Spanish catering company’s signature Paella Mixta (a combination of both chicken and seafood).
The summer patio Paella series will start up on the restaurant’s patio, rain or shine, over Victoria Day weekend on Sunday, May 19.

“We absolutely love working with Chef Javier Blanc and his team and with this being our third Patio Paella Series, we are definitely turning this into an annual event,” said Shaun Layton, co-owner of Como Taperia, in a release. “We already have regular guests from past years who buy tickets as soon as they go on sale.”
The Paella Guys’ signature dish is made with chicken, shrimp, jumbo prawns, red peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomato, garlic, saffron, and olive oil. Each finished plate comes with housemade garlic aioli, and guests will be able to watch the dish being prepared live in a massive 60-person steel pan as part of the experience.
