Went for my girlfriends birthday with a couple of friends, and everyone loved it. It is one of the most exciting, flavorful, and well-done restaurants I have ever went to. The service, food, and atmosphere were all absolutely stellar and I could not recommend it enough.We tried a bit of everything: skirt steak and eggs, chilequiles, calimari, and some amazing chorizo jalapeno mac and cheese that we had to order two of it was so good. Topped off with bottomless mimosas, some jalapeno vodka mixer, and an assorted dessert tray of gelato, churros, and tres leches.Weve already said well be back soon for one of the salsa nights! Cant wait for our next visit. Thanks Victor and team!

Overall a pretty solid spot for bottomless mimosas. The mimosas here are pretty strong and come in large glasses, so it’s definitely optimal for a good time. The waiters are very friendly and attentive and are great about refilling regularly. The menu has a ton of options for tapas but I do wish the quality of the food was a bit better. The chicken burrito wasn’t great but I was a big fan of the potatoes and Brussel sprouts. They also never pick up the phone, so making reservations can be a bit of a hassle.

This place is the most enjoyable and entertaining restaurant that Ive ever been to. The live music is on point and love the dancing floor. Basically, the guests can just stand up and walk to the main dancing floor to dance after their meal or while waiting for their meal. The food here is also good. I would definitely come back to this restaurant again!

Love the atmosphere! I get Island vibes with every visit with the smooth mellow grooves of the live band. Only downside is that its Tapas so if you get food you like its only a little so if your super hungry, you may want to eat something light before going. Other than that great for a date night out or fun night out with friends!Bon Appetit!RO

Recently went for the first time on a whim and LOVED it! The atmosphere is great, even on the random Wednesday night we went.The place is huge, with 2 bars, tables everywhere, a large outdoor area, and a large stage. The live band was really neat and sounded very good.All the food is served in small portions, so this is truly a tapas restaurant. Food and drinks were awesome. They even have an all vegetarian side of the menu. I had the shrimp tacos and octopus and they were great. My wife had the mac n cheese, which was to die for, and the sliders, which werent all that great but didnt ruin the overall experience. The raspberry sorbet for dessert was amazing as well!We will for sure be coming back!

Came with a group of friends, between 18-25. They didnt let my under 21 friends in. We used to come here ALL the time, but now we know not too. If being under 21 is a problem, just mark Xs on their hands if you dont want them drinking. Wish I could have kept this a 5 stars.

The place is really good if you want to hangout with your friends, drink and enjoy the atmosphere however the food is something different is the tiny version of normal food and theres not too much variety. If youre hungry I will recommend to eat before you got there besides that everything else is fine

Horribly service !!! i came to have a amazing brunch experience with my friends and it didn’t turn out that way. the service was horrible i ordered the chicken & waffles they took atleast 30 mins for my food while i was watching all my friends eating. also the waitress asked me if i wanted another coke, i said yes did she bring me my coke of course she didn’t. i will never come back to this place. i am very disappointed with the service i had high hopes !!!

Food was pretty good, the atmosphere is cool, but the servings are tiny, and I mean minuscule. You will pay about $5 per bite of food and the waiters take forever. Maybe good date spot but if you are hungry not the place to go.

Review №25

I’m putting two stars because although the experience is okay for a bar/club and the music is okay, it can get really full and you have very little space. Furthermore somehow or who knows why they changed the entry age to 21 from 18, I’m old enough but we were turned away because one person in our party was 18 and they used to allow 18 year old in.

Review №26

The staff wasnt effective when it came to seating because I know that we could have been seated within an hour not two! if people were doing their jobs and cleaning the tables! As there were tables sitting there empty for at least 30 mins with dirty dishes on top. One group had gathered three tables and only needed one as the rest of there party didnt make it! Most restaurants dont seat you until your entire party arrive just to be fair to the patrons that have been waiting! Other than that the food was good, the atmosphere was fun, another concerns to watch out for is under age patrons there were a few during the hours they didnt card!

Nice place, good food and some live music but a little bit too loud.But I really dont appreciate that the gratuity was included in my check before I paid.Thanks for the discrimination because Im not American ! Im living in the US so I know the rules about the tips, Im a little bit disappointed about this situation ...

Review №29

If you are looking to go out dancing on a Saturday night and find a ton of salsa/hip hop music this is a great place to hit up in the midtown area. Its located right on the side of the Piedmont Park next to a bunch of shops/restaurants on Amsterdam Avenue. If you are driving there is a ton of free parking spot outside the restaurant. Yes, its a tapas restaurant during the day and becomes a night spot on Friday and Saturday night when the restaurant turning the table area inside into a dance area. Food wise you should come too hungry because the dishes are small and you need to eat a bunch of them to really fill up. I would be up to hitting up this spot again during the weekends for some dancing on a Saturday night.

We had such an amazing time here today. What a gem of a place! The food was so on point I nearly went into the kitchen to hug the chefs. The ambience, live music, staff, management, vibe, EVERYTHING was incredible. We stayed for 3 hours and still did not want to leave! I will be back if ever in the ATL. Good job!

Went for Sunday brunch. Definitely a lively atmosphere, so if you are looking for quiet conversation over brunch, not the best choice. Otherwise the food is generally good. The lamb chops and vegetable empanada were delicious! The Blood orange margarita was quite tasty

Review №34

This place is super nice & has a really good vibe. The loca Luna margarita with a splash of mango was very delish. We got the steak (was delish but the sauce tasted like baby food), spicy chicken (nice & tender, but the potatoes had no flavor), lamb chops (absolutely amazing), shrimp (spicy but delicious) roasted potatoes (delicious), Broccolini (a little to lemony for me), queso & chips (delish - I wanted more). This place is a bit on priced side because its tapas. So if you super hungry be prepared to spend $$$. Overall, I would go back again. Cute spot for date night or just hanging with friends.

Made reservations for 10 people for a coworkers birthday. Even got a confirmation the day before our reservation only to show up to an empty restaurant closed for temporary construction!!!!! Absolutely terrible communication and will never return!!! I understand things happen but this is inexcusable and unprofessional!!! My party of 10 who all took an Uber had to wait in the parking lot to google another place open to accommodate our party. Completely pathetic!

Review №48

Always good to visit and food is quite good. Live music is great and drinks are decent however the lack of restriction on the amount of people they let in makes it hard for people to dance or move anywhere. If you dont like over crowded places Id recommend arriving there early to enjoy the dance floor and get better service. Overall is a good place to hang out but too crowded to dance.

The nightclub was great and great music attracting many different people of ages and races all there for the same thing, a great time dances and drinking. Havent tried the food but will be back to do so. Bartenders didnt seem the most outgoing to what Im use to but did work very quickly and effectively.

Had a blast here with the girls for a birthday celebration. Food was good and music was lively... the only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because the waiter tried to make my friend pay for another persons drinks, he was very bold about it. He gets 1 star. But the club was fun.

Review №51

The food was delicious and staff were friendly but incredibly slow even though we were the second group to be seated right after opening and only a party of four. For tapas it took a while to get anything and we had to wait 30 minutes for the check after we finished eating. The music was also on the loud side. The server tried to describe the portion sizes to us but it didnt end up being accurate and we all felt we couldve eaten a little more after we finished but didnt want to wait a long time again for more food. Ive been to multiple tapas style places and these were by far the smallest portions which wouldve been fine if wed understood that better when ordering.

This was one of the best nights of my life. On Friday Nights Loca Luna has a live band, and it was... Everyone was dancing and enjoying the night. The staff was amazing. The only con is that this place is HOT. Do not wear long sleeves or jackets, because you will definitely melt into a pool of sweat and tequila. Unfortunately, they stop serving water after a certain time, so bring your own, or prepare to quench your thirst with a lot of alcohol.

Im in love, I was in ATL for 7 days and my partner and I wanted to go somewhere we could dance. He recommended Loca Luna and it was a great choice. The atmosphere was on point, the bar staff helpful and the live band just amazing. We found a spot not to far from the stage and chilled there for a few hours. We laughed, danced and had a great time. I will be back on my next visit.

Review №57

Honestly, I would have given them 5. But, they let the place get to crowded. It gets really hard to stay on the dance floor. With people just walking in the dance floor and bumping and pushing everyone else around the people actually dancing dont have the space to do anything. We wanted to get more drinks but it was to much of a hassle to move through all the people to make it to the bar and if we did go get the drinks we would have lost the little space we did have on the dance floor. The place is really nice. Didnt make it in time to eat anything but the drinks are reasonable and the DJ did a really good job. Overall great place for a fun night out. Your just going to have to call it quits early cause it gets to crowded to do anything.

Review №59

Made a reservation for Valentine’s Day at 7:30pm. After waiting 15 minutes to be seated, we finally got our table and not one server came by for 20-30 minutes. It was disappointing and awkward. We just got drinks and an appetizer then left. Very poor service. Very unorganized. Won’t be going back unfortunately. Also, you have to pay for salsa. That’s like the biggest red flag of a Mexican restaurant.

I went here for a team meeting this past Saturday and I loved it. I got here at 6 and stayed until 830. It’s pretty slow during those hours and all types of crowd is welcome. However apparently around 9 o’clock things start to pick up a lot and it’s more geared towards adults. This is was I was told by the coworkers I was with. I really enjoyed it overall. I got crab cakes, chicken sweepers, plantains, and a two long islands.

Im not uncultured. I know what Tappas means, but what they pulled here for $9.87 nearly made me lose my cool. Had I gotten that broccoli for $5.95 I would have really been upset. And on top of that the service was horrible. It didnt matter if we were in the patio area or sitting at the bar. The employees just did not want to be there. Asking for minimal things was wearing them out. How can you be employed at a location where loco meaning crazy is in the the store name and your energy is so low? I have even heard a better mix of Latin/ Hispanic music! Very disappointing. Oh yeah, thanks for making majority of the parking lot Valet. It makes total sense. The first & last time I will go there.

The food was good, the ambience was good. We were met by two young grinches who did not give a welcome, we announced our selves and was answered with a follow her ...no greeting, no hello, no I hope you enjoy your meal ...the wait staff was not much better, it seemed that everyone there hated working there, no smiles no pleasantries ...just a drudgery type attitude. Our server was kind, and service was satisfactory ...we were just left wanting a better dining experience.

I used to come here a lot but I will not recommend it anymore.

Had a great experience. I went on a Friday night and it was packed, but not unbearable. Theres plenty of seating areas in case your just trying to relax. Good food and drinks, I would suggest getting there early if you want to grab a bite of food before you hit the dance floor. Speaking of dance floor, its nice and big. The music was good, staff is nice and its a chill atmosphere.

Went to Loca Luna last night for a friend’s birthday. Food was pretty good, just expensive for tapas. But what bothered me was how specific the menu says party of six has 18% gratuity, but our party was with only five, but our waitress charged us 20% gratuity and when I asked her about it, she gave this face like I got y’all, “I really thought it was six people.” Never really had a problem with Loca Luna before, but will never go back. Get me once shame on you, get me twice - never. Stolen money will never do you any good. Watch your tabs at Loca Luna. SHAMEFUL and DISHONEST!!

Very disappointed with the quality of the food and the portions. I have never had paella with so much tomato paste. A good paella will never be what we had tonight.

Very disappointed we made a reservation and was told we would be seated near the band. The band was no where to be seen. We were seated near to the main entrance of the restaurant could not see anything...... when we finished our food went to go to where the band was not open seats. We went and asked / complain about our reservation. No one was interested...... we decided to leave wont be going back.

Reservation placed well in advance and confirmed for party of 12 on Saturday 2/15 @ 930p. We were finally seated at 1010p only due to squeaky wheel getting the grease. Managements only excuse was that the 7p reservation was still sitting and talking at the table. After sitting, another 15 minutes before any staff arrived to take any orders. Ill stop here.
