  16. Terrible Service Outweighs the Tasty Food
    I've been to Loca Luna 3 times. The first time I sat on the open air patio with my sister and best friend. We enjoyed our delicious variety of tapas and we had a very attentive waitress. When I realized a meat I ordered was ambitiously rare, she had it cooked longer and all was well. The evening segued naturally from dinner to a club. The music was great and there were some people who actuall...

  17. Fun evening out
    My fiance and I usually come here if we feel like dancing some merengue, salsa and bachata. So we usually don't make it for the food beforehand, but for the party afterwards. We always have a good time there. It can get really hot and crowded, but it's better than empty!

  18. Really Bad Business
    After my second experience with Loca Luna during which, they changed a promotion after advertising it, I felt I had to share this with the public. I have a large group of friends and we frequent venues such as Loca Luna often because of their ability to sit large parties on the patio. We were going to visit for a friend's birthday on Cinco de Mayo and after advertising one price, when we got ...

  19. Great food, atmosphere, and music
    My girlfriends and I went out for my birthday and this was a perfect place to go with a group.While sitting on the patio, we shared a bunch of different items such as the goat cheese, plantains with coconut milk, ceviche, chicken kabobs, and not to forget the fish tacos. They were all EXCELLENT!! (The fish tacos had fantastic flavors with a great kick!) Our waiter was very helpful and was alway...

  20. Loved the old location better
    When they moved, they lost their zip. Food not as good, atmosphere too commercial, and drinks over priced. I love tapas but this place just doesn't get it anymore. Their old location was the first time I had mojitos and tapas and I was hooked. But now, this isn't the place to get them. Sad because it was a great place.

  21. Hollwood comes to Loca Luna!
    What an unsuspecting surprise to venture out for tapas and drinks only to find yourself in the middle of a Hollywood Who's Who at Loca Luna! A couple of my friends and I headed to Loca last Friday night for dinner and drinks. Once inside we realized Loca was hosting a party for Bill Murray, Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek and the entire cast and crew of the upcoming movie Down Low which had just fi...

  22. Business must be closed!!!
    We went there twice, once on Monday and the door said closed on Monday. Went the next Tuesday and it was still closed. It would have been nice to update the notes on the door or the voicemail to read closed.

  23. Loca Luna as great as EVER!
    To date we have never had a dish that we have not loved. We do not go there for the nightlife. We go with friends for the food. I have read many reviews about the nightlife... someday we will have to stick around later in the evening to experience what others are raving about. FAV TAPAS: Fish Tacos, Calamari, Ceviches & Ribs that melt off the bone.

  24. Not What it Used to Be
    I went to LL on Friday with a group of friends. It was not my first time so I pretty much knew what to expect- average food, decent drinks, good music and tons of people. Well, the music was good and that's about it. The food is still average and so were the drinks. There definitely weren't the same crowds as in the past so it seems as if people are heading elsewhere for their Friday nights. ...

  25. Loca Luna is a Blast!
    I love the music and dancing at Loca Luna. I also like that you can walk into the outdoor area and it is not so loud that you cannot talk. A great place for a night out!

  26. Very fun tapas restaurant
    Loca Luna is a very fun tapas restaurant that gets even better as it gets later. Its a very fun place to hang out and have some drinks, and you can't miss it if you're into salsa, samba or merengue.

  27. THEY NEED AIR CONDITIONING!!!
    What a great club to go out dancing. Only problem is, they keep all the doors shut and there's NO AIR in that place. As crowded as it is, that's ridiculous and I think it's going to cause them to lose a lot of business. Other than that, it's a very fun club!

  28. Their Cocktails Are Not Professionally Mixed
    Loca Luna has a large facility including a long bar side, mobile tables and slim chairs indoors and outdoors that can be put away or moved easily to accomodate more space. There is a dance floor area next to a live band stage; giving an overall pleasant of a so called latin tropical experience. As for the drinks I warn you about the cost and taste. I paid 8.50 for a horrible tasteless Long Island...

  30. great food
    This place is now on Amsterdam near the Park. The small plates were great, we were seated promptly at the upper level. This made the craziness downstairs more tolerable, but it was a bit too hot. Downstairs, near the bar, there is a serious dating scene and the music (on the week-ends at least) is at full blast. The service was a bit slow, but generally OK. the mojitos were too sweet I thought.

  31. Best Foodie Experience in Atlanta ever!
    BEST FOODIE EXPERIENCE! A group of 7 girlfriends went to this restaurant on 2/29/08. We had dinner reservations made through Open Table, yet I did call the actual restaurant the day before to ensure that this was honored. NO problems. PROS: (1) The food was fantastic. I am not a picky eater, but I can tell the difference between good food and great food and Loca Luna dishes were SUPERB! I...

  32. Worst service! terrible experience
    I made a reservation for my birthday for a group. When I made the reservation all I was told was to get there a little bit early to secure the table. We got there and ordered drinks and appetizers. We had been there for about 30 minutes and the waitor rudely told us we had 15 more minutes to get up and leave. I asked why and he said that the we could only stay at the table for 45 minutes. At n...

  33. Don't Believe It All
    Sorry, but I have been told that as a rule, employees are still encouraged to write reviews. This should make the critical reader wonder if any of the recent reviews can be trusted. Actually, besides my personal dissatisfaction, friends who have long stopped visiting as well and gave it another shot at the new local, have all said pretty much the same thing. Not such a cool late night vibe....

  34. Had a Great Experience !!
    I recently took my entire family to Loca Luna. This was the first time we were going there so wasn't sure what to expect. We were seated promptly ( on the patio) by the lady at the front desk. We realized that we preferred to be inside where the band was playing - so we requested that with Casey ( our server). Casey promptly gave us a great table ( which had been reserved for the owners).

    As to the previous two entries, Loca Luna is DEFINITELY NOT closed!!!! They are closed on Mondays though. When I stopped by for some drinks and tapas this past Friday, I stumbled upon a wrap party for the movie Get Low . They had a portion of the restaurant closed until 9:00 or so for the cast and crew. The cast that was there included Bill Murray, Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek. Loca Luna op...

  39. Great Tapas, Great Vibes!
    I went here this weekend for a Girls Night Out. I was wary of the whole tapas thing, having heard mixed reviews from someone who went to Pura Vida (and spent a fortune). So I was prepared to leave Loca broke and hungry but oh how I was surprised. I over ordered with a plate of fish tacos, an order of calamari and a Mojito. The food was served promptly, and very fresh, plus the portion sizes were...

The patio is gorgeous and the people watching is f...

    I have left Loca Luna the past few times that I have eaten there very unhappy. I decided to give it one last chance and I left smiling and ready to go back. Something has changed. Our server was a young man named Joseph. We wanted to order a bottle of wine and he was both enthusiastic and well learned with the wine list. The thing that impressed me most was the fact that he was trying to lead u...

    I really liked Loca Luna until I went to Eclipse di Luna. HOwever, on its own, Loca Luna is a good restaurant with a different ambience than Eclipse di Luna. I would highly recommend making reservations on the weekend. With reservations, we were seated promptly (but not until everyone in our party was present). Once seated in the patio, we immediately smelled smoke. At the table next to us, a lar...

    After using this restaurant for my law firm's recruiting events and lunches, I will NEVER return to Loca Luna again. I planned a brithday party for a friend and 17 other people.

  50. Not Brazilian but still good
    This restaurant pops up under Brazilian cuisine. It is not Brazilian, but it is good. Its got a Latin Fusion Tapas thing going on: empanadas and fish tacos. For lunch the service is never good, but the drinks are. No matter what time you visit, the server will always tell you that the kitchen is about to close. Visit at night for a completely different atmosphere. Hot.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. My husband and I are regulars at the wonderful wine tastings and have always had terrific food and service as icing on the cake.

    i had my 21st birthday party there and everyone had a great time! the manager worked really hard with me before the party to get everything situated and the atmosphere was very lively and fun!

    if you want to be able to talk around your table. The concept of an multi-appetizer dinner really does work here. The band (with rainstick mastery), was very appropriate for the overall atmoshere of the restaurant.
