I don't remember much about the old Las Paellas , but I do recall that I always ordered their Salpicao & Baked Oysters. I used to be hang a lot at their old branch along President's Ave in BF Homes Parañaque for afternoon Sangria(s) with Landco colleagues. For one, it was a 5-minute walk from our office and the place had a really nice ambiance. This was before we had Amalia's in BF, Alba Restaurante Español in West Gate, and Barcino in Alabang Town Center. Mom was the bearer of good news. She cheerfully woke me up one Sunday morning just to tell me that Las Paellas is back.
Las Paellas' new home is still inside BF Homes, along the stretch of the more serene side of Aguirre Ave. This is one place that I will go out of my way to visit because it's cozy and quiet. As the name suggests, they are known for their Paellas, which I have yet to try after so many years.

Except for the color scheme, Las Paellas didn't really capture the Spanish ambience that I was expecting. Albeit, the wall sticker looked a bit tacky up-close if you ask me, Las Paellas still did a good job in creating that cozy and chill South vibe typical in this side of Southern Metro Manila. The first thing you'll notice when you enter the restaurant is the splash of bright, warm colors which create a lively atmosphere that's perfect for lunch-out with girlfriends or for a hearty meal with family.
While Las Paellas sounds very Spanish, this casual, neighborhood restaurant offers a blend of cuisines. You'd be surprised that they have Thai Bagoong Rice, all-day Filipino breakfast, Soupe à L'oignon ( French Onion Soup ), Sizzling Bulalo Steak, and Hamburger Steak on their menu. They serve wine, but their staff are surprisingly clueless about wine, which if you ask me, is not their fault. It is a huge business mistake to have a restaurant that offers wine with servers who were not educated even about the basic wine stuff.Ö
Although there is room for improvement, dining at Las Paellas is a warm, welcoming experience. Food's reasonably-priced with decent serving portions. Almost everything on their menu is delicious ... their Arroz ala Cubana is promising and the Pork Chop Andaluz ( 1-piece at P220 ) is one of my favorites. My Mom recommends the Salpicao, Tinapa Rice, and their Angus Tapa. However, I don't think I will develop an acquired taste for their Tortang Talong / Eggplant Omelet that's stuffed with Galunggong ( tastes like Rellenong Bangus ).
Comfortable and homey without being dingy, Las Paellas is a nice addition to the food scene in BF. It gives us another reason to fall in love with the South and even more reasons to bond with friends, family, and colleagues over delectable Spanish dishes and more! I will definitely be back and will bring P with me next time. ☮..Peace + ❥_Love + Good Vibes. RUSS.

Sounds like they really do offer a wide variety of foods! Too bad about the staff not knowing about wine- it is one of my favorite things to learn about!
If only it's near to our place, I would have already invited my family to join me here for dinner! All the food looked delicious!
The food sounds and looks amazing. I agree with you about the wine. It is nice when a restaurant serves it but if the wait staff has little knowledge of it-that is a bad business move.
It sounds like they have a good variety. That French Onion soup looks delicious.
What an ecclectic menu! Do they serve Paella as well? Looks good!
