Mateo’s passion really shines—whether it’s selecting ingredients, sharing stories over delicious sangria, or showcasing incredible cooking skills. The paella was outstanding, perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the almond cake was the perfect finish—rich, moist, and unforgettable. Add in the great music vibes and warm, welcoming energy, and it all comes together for a truly special experience. Highly recommend Mateo at Gab Lab for anyone looking for an authentic, memorable, and delicious time!”

He made an environment where we could socialize but also watch and ask questions on how the food was made. He even made chicken paella in substitution due to allergies! Kako even was kind enough to give us recommendations for the rest of our trip. Great guy and hope to cross paths again someday.”
