I decided to come here for my birthday dinner. It was highly accommodating and it they sat our party of 13 on time given the small space of the restaurant. I read that it's a Carribean style type of food and coming back from there for spring break last month I was afraid everything would be made out of conch and shellfish. Fortunately only half the menu consisted of that.
We began with some calamari, a carafe of the lava lover (which in essence is just a large bay breeze), and some of us at the table spoke nicely of the kaya burger but I ordered the paella which came out in a nice large portion. It wasn't the best or worst paella I've had before. The service came and went and the place seemed to have trouble bringing everyone's meals out at a timely fashion. Albeit, we had a large party, the last few people shouldn't have to wait an added 15 minutes to get his food while everyone else was sitting there waiting for our dishes to get cold.
I couldn't really tell what the draw of this place is, neither the food or drinks were very unique, even though it specializes in its own type of cuisine. If I had to rank the big burrito restaurants, Kaya comes in last.
