Where Every Bite is a Delight
At Paella del Reyes, we're passionate about bringing the warmth and energy of a traditional Spanish paella to gatherings and celebrations across the Bay Area and Sonoma County. Our story began with Thomas Meckfessel, a chef with a love for cooking outdoors and sharing delicious food with large groups of people. After honing his skills as a river guide in Alaska, Tom started cooking paella for friends and family on the beaches of Tomales Bay. Over time, his passion for paella and outdoor cooking evolved into Paella del Reyes, a mobile culinary experience that combines traditional techniques with locally sourced, sustainable ingredients.
Our Story
Our journey began as a humble catering service, focusing on creating memorable events for our clients. We believe that food has the power to bring people together, and our goal is to make that experience unforgettable. From weddings to corporate events, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, flexibility, and commitment to using only the finest ingredients.

Our menu is designed to delight your taste buds and cater to your preferences. We offer a range of paella options, from our signature dish to seasonal specials and customized paellas tailored to your specific needs. Our ingredients are carefully selected to ensure the highest quality and are often sourced locally and sustainably.
Cooking Techniques
We cook our paellas using traditional techniques passed down through generations of Spanish cooks. We use wood-fired grills to add a smoky flavor to our dishes, and our paella rice is always cooked to perfection. Our chef, Thomas Meckfessel, has perfected his craft through years of experience and experimentation, ensuring that every dish is a masterpiece.
