Reviews for Loquita Santa Barbara in Santa Barbara, CA
It’s a nice and great restaurant for Spanish cuisines. All the paella is really tasty and traditional. We tried patata as... well, and those are gorgeous!! Our dining area is at patio. It is pretty and nice! Read more
I tried this place for the first time tonight and it’s definitely become one of my favorites in town. The restaurant is on... the upscale, fine dining side, meaning the food is more like an experience than a meal (if you know what I mean). Service wasgreat, extremely professional. The restaurant has specialty gin and tonics which were smooth. The food was the highlight ofthe whole night - every bite was amazing and perfectly planned, although portions were very small. The server recommended 2tapas plates per person and one paella for 4 people, but that was definitely not nearly enough food for moderately hungrypeople. That being said, the taste was like no food I’ve had before. Definitely worth checking out. Read more
Went here for my wife's birthday. It was a great experience. The paella was worth the trip. It took time but it allowed us to... enjoy our drinks, which were amazing, and a few tapas. The octopus was a hit and the crudo (pictured) was the perfect bite. Wewill definitely return. Read more
Loquita is a Wonderful place to try great Spanish food! The small bites are delicious and innovative, and the paella is made... great. Service and vibe is great also. The price is on the expensive side though. Still highly recommend for a visit. Read more
The food was definitely authentic if you have ever been to Spain. The tortilla and the paella as well as the churro’s with... the dipping sauces. The food is small servings so don’t expect huge plates it’s definitely tapas. The vermouth wasoutstanding as well as the wine. I was a bit offended as the person waiting on us kept making comments concerning how costly itcould be if we ordered more plates. I felt a bit as if he judged what we could or couldn’t afford. It truly did make usdecide to leave after our first bottle of wine. Read more
All the foods are great! Got lucky without any wait on a Tuesday night. Recommend making reservations if you have plan to... visit. Paella let me miss the food in Spain. Whoever love Spanish food should try out! Read more
Amazing food! The octopus was out of this world and the paella was delicious. I highly recommend one of their gin and tonics. I... had one that was more flower forward and it was so good. I would love to come back here - great food and great environment. Read more
My husband and I came here right when they opened at 5pm and there was such a long line, I didn’t understand the hype until... the food came. First of all, the wait staff is exquisite. Our waitress was so knowledgeable about the food and wine there it wasso helpful to know what to pair with the meal. Getting paella here is a must do. Being Portuguese I’m used to a certain stylebut the Spanish paella here is amazing! So much food we had a lot left to take home Read more
