Patatas

I’ve been buying paella from Patatas at the Kensington farmers’ market (Sundays, near Colusa Circle). The prices are reasonable — $ 9 for a small clamshell container full of seafood paella or $ 17 for a large portion. The paella is quite good, and I’ve become something of a fan!

If you’re looking for a flexible, inventive, and delicious caterer for your next event, look no further. I’ve worked with Patatas numerous times to coordinate office catering. They are always flexible with last minute changes, even cancelations, and very timely and reliable.
Other than their amazing service, the food is fresh, interesting and a crowdpleaser. Go for the paella and the patatas bravas with the salsa brava. Another gem on the menu is their arugula salad with feta and beets — it really rounds out the heavier parts of the meal. I’m not a ceviche person myself, but some of my colleagues gave it great reviews, too!

Yum! Everything Patatas makes is amazing. I love their salads, steak, sauteed veggies and the sauce for their patatas bravas.

After living in Spain and falling in love with tortillas, I was so excited to discover them at my local farmer’s market! These are, like previous reviewers have said, «light, delicate, and not over the top on the oil.» I love them anytime of day, usually with a bit of fresh bread.
I’m only bummed that they weren’t there at the farmer’s market this week. The organizers said that they had dropped the Walnut Creek farmer’s market! The lovely lady who staffed their booth was always kind and friendly, and it was for the tortillas that I got myself out of bed early on a Sunday morning, every week. I dearly hope they will return. In the meantime, I guess I’ll have to track them down at other farmer’s markets in the area.

Patatas sells Spanish Tortillas, they look like an oversized, thick bean pie.
