"A lot of Spanish restaurants serve paella, but none of them have the cojones to call themselves paella specialists. But Dos Besos can rightfully make that boast. At this stylish yet casual spot in Old Town Pasadena, the paella takes 30 minutes to make and arrives near perfect. The paella valenciana feeds two to three and comes with mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, and two very large prawns sharing a kiss in the middle. The rice, however, is the real star, with its crispy socarrat and garlic-wine broth seasoning every spoonful." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder
