This paella was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I would make this paella again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less olive oil and add more spices.

The paella was a little too oily for me. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less olive oil.

This paella was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with some more spices.
