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... Read More On CitysearchSirahaha 2/13/2010
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! Read More On CitysearchBananas2531 8/12/2009
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 ... Read More On Citysearchlaineysam 8/4/2009
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... Read More On Citysearchkl2 7/9/2009
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.

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...

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. Read More On Citysearchbrooksidenc 2/6/2009
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.

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! Read More On CitysearchAngeezy 9/15/2008
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... Read More On Citysearchontheeats 7/11/2008

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. Read More On Citysearchpiedone 3/25/2008
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.

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... Read More On Citysearchlcl59 3/9/2008
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.... Read More On Citysearchdontbelieveit 2/25/2008
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). Casey i... Read More On Citysearchamglobal99 2/23/2008

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).
