ARROCES PAELLA RAVE

Photographs of Arroces, a New York-based street-paella pop-up concept founded by Chef Eduardo Cuenca. Rooted in traditional Spanish techniques—utilizing authentic bomba rice, rich sofrito, and deep stocks—Arroces blends Chef Cuenca’s Barcelona and Venezuelan background with New York street culture.

 

ARROCES PAELLA RAVE

Arroces Paella Raves are high-energy, immersive culinary events created by Chef Eduardo Cuenca’s Arroces pop-up that fuse authentic Spanish rice craft with the pulse of New York nightlife. These events turn massive-scale, open-air live-fire paella preparation into a communal spectacle, pairing traditional bomba rice, rich sofrito, and bubbling pans with curated DJ sets, house music, and craft drinks. Frequently collaborating with underground barbecue crews, local chefs, and community platforms like 8it at trendy Brooklyn venues (such as Dead Letter No. 9), the Paella Raves redefine street food culture by transforming a traditional Spanish meal into an electric, late-night social party.
