Pretty decent. Reminded me of my trip to Barcelona. Carpaccio and pulpo tapas & pollo paella were strong points.

First, our server, Dakota, was exceptional! She gave us great advice on food and wine. She has a great personality. Next, the food … wow! We had three tapas and finished with the vegetarian paella. Presentation was fabulous and the taste even better. I’ll definitely go again.

You can see why this place got Michelin recognition in 2021. Outstanding food and service with an atmosphere inferior to none. Felt like I was in Spain for the evening. We got the Pera and Patatas Bravas- excellent contrast of flavor across the dish. Rounded up our meal with a chorizo y pollo paella- absolutely delicious.Cheers to the chef here, outstanding restaurant.

AMAZING!!! I wish I had dined here two nights in a row.Can’t express how amazing the seafood paella was. It was seasoned perfectly and the seafood was so delicious. 10/10! Highly recommend this paella and pairing it with the white sangria!We really enjoyed the pulpo and crab croquetas. The service was amazing too.We dined on the patio and the atmosphere was very cozy and inviting. Loved it! Would return again and again!

Oh man, so many good things to say about this place. Both the food and drinks are spectacular. This place is a must go for anyone looking for a great dinner and night out. Our server was so much fun, I can’t remember his name but super outgoing, attentive and intuitive. Well done management ! Y’all are crushing it ?

Absolute perfection, both food and service. This spot has become a favorite of ours for date night - the food is always impeccable, the drinks are unique and delicious (we LOVE Gin & Tonics, so a dedicated section on the menu with numerous options won us over on our first visit!), and the service is always friendly. What we love most is the balance of classic flavors and new varieties on the menu; we're always happy to see our favorite items when we visit, and even more excited to try what's new!

A particularly wonderful meal, every dish is exquisite, the steak is very delicious, it is a well-deserved Michelin 2021 restaurant!It is recommended to dine outdoors, the atmosphere is great, there are enough fires to keep the temperature suitable and it is warm and quiet.The waiters here are friendly and polite, and we enjoyed our meal here.

Everything was so perfect! Food was spectacular with wonderful service. The clam tapas is mandatory. The Gin and tonics were some of the best Iv had. Can’t say more you just gotta try!!

This was a phenomenal experience. We went there yesterday for a drink and some tapas in the afternoon. 4.30pm and it was already busy! We were there about an hour or so - I couldn’t believe how many people would eat dinner so early, because you have to if you want to eat here and don’t book a long time in advance!We had Albariño to drink which was excellent and ended up getting about 5 different tapas dishes as each one we had was so good and we wanted to have more!Atmosphere was fantastic - could have stayed all night if it wasn’t for us being there with a newborn and needing to take her home!Service was excellent. The hosts at the door were so welcoming and helpful squeezing us in for a last minute early table. The waiter (cant remember his name, but Italian guy) was so friendly and knowledgeable.I would come here again and again if i lived here and could get a table. Go! You wont regret it!!

This is a Spanish restaurant that I found by chance. It wasn't too salty and fit well into our mouths. It's a shame I didn't get to try paella.

I’m giving it 4 stars because we visited to try paella, but the menu had a note saying it would take 45 minutes. It was discouraging, so we ordered 4 other things that were delicious. Unfortunately everything we order came at different intervals and they took longer than it would have taken the paella. Just the drinks took almost 15 minutes. The portions are VERY SMALL.

Fabulous; this is now our new favorite Santa Barbara restaurant. The food is spectacular. We had better Spanish food here than we found in Spain last year (but we did not seek out fine dining when in Spain, so that's not really a fair comparison.) The paella here is legendary, so we had the chorizo & chicken (one of four types). It was of course excellent. We indulged in three tapas, all wonderful. They have a nicely curated wine list, all Spanish. Our server helped us make a wine selection, and it was superb. Note that reservations are nearly mandatory, and they book up sometimes weeks in advance -- and justly so. Highly recommended.

I am absolutely outraged and disgusted by my recent experience at Loquita Restaurant. After dining here several times due to decent flavors, I was horrified to discover that they had unscrupulously altered the tip amount on my bill during my last visit. This is not just appalling; it's downright revolting and a clear act of theft.Reflecting back, I am now plagued with the sickening possibility that this fraudulent practice might have occurred during my previous visits too. The thought that I could have been repeatedly deceived and financially exploited makes my skin crawl. This is a despicable breach of trust and an unforgivable violation of customer rights.Their conduct is utterly shameful and repugnant. I strongly caution everyone against visiting this establishment. Be vigilant and protect yourself from their deceitful practices. Loquita Restaurant's behavior is not only unethical but also criminally offensive. Such predatory and vile actions should be exposed and condemned in the strongest terms possible.
