Such a wonderful place! We had our wedding pre-ceremony dinner here and the staff and food were out of this world. Really enjoyed this place, and would highly recommend it.

DO NOT order the octopus, it's way overcooked every time

Absolutely phenomenal experience thanks to Ian at Loquita! He is hands down the best bartender I’ve ever encountered. His attention to detail, creativity, and mastery of mixology are unmatched. Every drink he crafted was a masterpiece, perfectly balanced and incredibly flavorful. On top of that, Ian’s warm, welcoming personality made the evening even more enjoyable. His attentive service and ability to personalize recommendations made us feel like VIPs the entire time. If you’re looking for the best drinks and service, Ian is your guy. Can’t wait to come back!

Excellent tapa's and very friendly service.
Good food, the portion sizes aren't great for the prices even taking the quality into account. A fun one-off

Incredible food and atmosphere. Amazing cocktails. The paella is the best we've had in California. We make a point to come to Loquita whenever we're in Santa Barbara.

A year ago, I gave 5 stars to this restaurant. We visited the area again, and I had dinner at this restaurant tonight.
Even though we arranged a reservation days before, the front desk lady gave us the table next to the restrooms in a pretty much empty restaurant. I dunno whether she made the decision based on our look or anything else.
It turns out the food quality also went down compared to what they charge you for it. Not going back to this restaurant again.

I can’t say enough amazing things about this restaurant. There are so many restaurants to choose from downtown that my coworker and I were wondering if we’d made the right choice but as soon as we were seated on the patio we were so glad we chose to go there. The service is exceptional, food amazing and we had the best wine, so delicious! We commented over and over how glad we choose that place, which was recommended by local colleagues. It is very romantic, which made us laugh as coworkers but a great date location for sure. Highly recommend! I have lived in Spain and was excited to have tortilla and paella.
Vegetarian options: I was excited to have a vegetarian paella option. The waiter was very able to point out the vegetarian options available and I appreciated his knowledge.

The food was beautifully presented, showcasing unique flavors that truly enhanced the dining experience. I particularly appreciated the thoughtful card feature for my special occasion.

The best meal in Los Angeles and the most perfect Spanish meal ever. Reservations are required in advance. We came here without reservations and got a seat. We were very lucky! There is an exclusive parking lot where you can park for free.
