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...
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!
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 ...
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...
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.

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!
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.
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!
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...
IF ITS A CHEESY, DARK, BUFORD HIGHWAY STRIP CLUB YOU ARE LOOKING FOR WITH REALLY BAD FOOD THAT YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOREVER FOR, THEN LOCA LUNA HAS YOU COVERED. THEY DIDN'T GET ANYTHING RIGHT SINCE THEIR MOVE
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.
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...
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...
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....
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...
Fun and exciting! Great place for large groups, affordable, and classy! you won't go wrong, especially with out of towners. Show them how the latin men and women dance!
Dance dance dance!!! Went there with friends for her birthday. Great atmosphere, very friendly people, and fun music selection. Comes very recommended and we do go back. Fun for many different age groups. I'm 22.
which had known this yesterday. can't wait to go.
last time i went the food was scrumptous: fish tacos, spicy potatoes, and others ....so tasty and decent portions.
scene is cool. music live band. mixed crowd. unpretentious. some smoke-hope not at this location.
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...
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...
I've taken small groups, I've taken large groups (my wedding party, in fact!). Management was helpful and courteous - even though I could tell he had a hundred things going on. The service has always been incredible, the food too! This is by far one of the best places in Atlanta to take a date, a group of friends, out of town guests, whatever. The patio is gorgeous and the people watching is f...
I will definitely return to Loca Luna very soon after my latest experience there over the holiday weekend. I brought a friend who had never been there before who I promised a good experience and tasty food. What we got was beyond our expectations....Delectable Dishes and Sparkling Service. We dined on plate after plate of creatively prepared tapas that were both cooked properly and seasoned with ...
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...
This past Friday night, was another 40th. Birthday Party, again, for the same person, third time around. And we always go to the wild and crazy Loca Luna. LL has some of the best Tapas anywhere in the ATL. Our jovial waitron started bringing us multiple pitchers of Sangria, laden with fresh fruit. Some of the tasty Tapas I can remember were the Sauteed Shrimp w/Spicy Coconut Cream, Calamari w...
Long wait, rude management (messed up reservation then didn't appologize or comp), food is sub par and overpriced. Could be a lot better if run properly. Very dissapointing.
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. I called THREE times during the week to confirm the logistics with Loca Luna. However, they sat us at a table for 12 and forgot 6 chairs. The management then tried to tell me that at a tapas restaurant, customers are supp...
I went this past Friday night and everything went smoothly. Our reservations were for a party of nine but they had no problem when we cut it down to only six. Arthur was our waiter and would highly recommend him. His service was great, always there to check up on us, got everyones orders right and didn't make us feel rushed or slowed down. The food was excellent, it was very artistic and just the...
This place is a little confusing to find, it's around a lot of one way streets so if you miss it once you're driving around in circles. And parking was horrible, we had to pay $10 in a nearby lot. Love the inside, the place is huge and the atmosphere is great. Food, although very basic is good but not great. Was disappointed that there were no ceviches. Prices are good though. Did not care ...
I LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE JUST AS I HAD IMAGINED IT. HOWEVER I DID COME ON AN OFFPEAK NIGHT OF THURS AND THERE WAS NO LATIN MUSIC. BUT THE FOLKSY OLD DUDE ON THE GUITAR WAS ALL RIGHT. ID DEFINETLY GO BACK FOR ANOTHER TRY THOUGH... DEFINETLY TRY THE VODKA PASTA WITH CHICKEN...
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.
I've been here several times with friends and we always have a memorable experience. Love the atmosphere- rustic tropical vibe and a diverse crowd of people from everywhere. Great band on Friday nights, DJ on Saturday not bad either. Food ok but not very filling (mainly tapas). Nice drink selection, from strawberry margaritas to pearl necklaces. It's also one of the best places you can go in Atl...
This is a great hang out spot. There is always good music and strong drinks. The food excellent too.
I love, but love to hang out in Loca Luna. The music is amazing and the drinks are reasonable and good. The food is not so great though so we went there a couple of time to have dinner but now we go after 11 just to enjoy the music and dancing.
Forget Fridays! Saturdays are BEST!
I went this Saturday ngiht and all I have to say is WOW! The music and atmosphere was excellent. From the Salsa Band performing & sounding extremely well to the Dj plating all different types of music. I even heard some Michael Jackson & Bob Marley. That is great, not just Latin. I went before for saturdays, but now it is awesome....good improvements. Free Adm...
Large place in midtown. Has covered outside. Salsaish music. Tapas. Good for a friday night date
Its good latin place, bar and dance club but sometimes it can be crowded thought. Overall its good place
My girlfriends and I used to go to Loca Luna nearly every weekend before I got married and we had a BLAST! The live music is AMAZING and the ambience is great. We met a lot of interesting people, lots of dancing, and if Jeff is still one of the bartenders (and you're reasonably attractive), he is SUPER easy! One kiss and he'll give you free drinks all night long! I don't particularly care for...
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. My favorite tapas are the tacos, calamari, and spicy oysters...but I've never had a bad dish here and have tried most everything on the menu. Go and enjoy!
I went there with some friends, and we had so much fun, we've gone back about 4 times, and I'm going there this wkend too. They have live music, and even if u cant salsa its still so much fun, and there's a diverse group of people.
At first its like a restaurant and it later converts into ful on dance floor, and the oher section is made to look like your outside, its such a pretty place. And...
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! The band was great, but it does get really crowded after 12. It was worth the $5 for parking. The drinks were excellent, some did complain about the food but I loved it and can't wait to go back!
Endure the $10 parking for a great time! We've been twice on different weeknights and it's been a blast both times. The service is fast, the food is good and reasonably priced and the Mojitos can't be beat. Best Latin music and dancing in town.
The margaritas at Loca Luna should not be rated higher than Gecko Lounge. Every time I've ordered one, I've had to send it back for them to make me a better one.
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. The crowd is very young and attractive -- if you are over 30, you better be keeping an eye out for being the next Solent Green victim and being fed to Tech students. The service wa...
I was in town from Columbus, GA visiting a friend. We were looking for something to do after a Hawks game. Loca Luna was suggested, and what a great suggestion it was. We arrived around 10pm on a Saturday night. The place was already packed. We didn't eat, so I can't comment on the food, other than it looked and smelled great. The house band, Ruo 6, was the highlight. If you didn't feel li...
I use to love Loca Luna.. you guys had the best server there that everyone called Princess..Oh Princess were are you? We miss you so much. You. your dancing, your smile, your atittude is greatly missed..Please come back. Its not the fabulous place it use to be. I still love it.. but gosh..to have meet Princess will be something i will cherish for the rest of my life..i guess i do all that all to ...
For a new Atlantan, I checked out Loca Luna on a Friday night. Good time, semi-friendly people, strong drinks, and hip place. Bathrooms could be bigger, though...
Fun place. Lively & tropical. The only thing missing was the ocean breeze and salty air!! The tapas and sangarias (though a little on the weak side) are a treat.
A wonderful festive atmosphere perfect for a birthday celebration or for taking out of towners. Order lots of tapas--I've never had a dish here I didn't like--get a pitcher of sangria and let the party begin.
When we went to Loca Luna 2 months ago, we did not have any trouble with the waitstaff.
The music was really great! It wasn't too loud either like some bars you go to & end up feeling deaf afterwards.
The atmosphere is so cozy! You really feel like your thousands of miles away from Atlanta! The decor is incredible.
The only thing I didn't dig was only 1 toilet for the women - so there was...
