Absolutely amazing. Beautiful presentation and chic decor. Friendly and prompt services. Fresh ingredients and tasty dishes. We ordered Croqueta De Seta, Carpaccio De Carne, Pulpo A La Gallegos and Mariscos Paella, all impressively delicious. What a culinary experience, definitely a highlight of our month-long US trip. Thank you Loquita Santa Barbara team!

Amazing dinner experience at Loquita!
We came as a family with two kids and everything exceeded our expectations. The seafood paella was outstanding — full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The beef carpaccio and pulpo were also excellent. Even the kids’ chicken tenders were surprisingly good.
Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was warm and lively without being too loud. Prices are fair for Santa Barbara, and the quality definitely matches what you pay for.
Highly recommend this place if you’re visiting State Street. We’ll be back next time!

This place is truly amazing. We wandered in here and didn’t have an idea what a lovely and popping restaurant it was. The food was to die for , I think we ordered every starter. and the craft cocktails are all so intentional flavored. The staff even sent over champagne flutes halfway thru our meal and that just made our night . Service was also so prompt and perfect. Thank you Loquita!

We loved the food at Loquita. We highly recommend you eat here if you’re in Santa Barbara. The Spanish food is just simple delicious and made to perfection. The paella is a must as well as the chuletón and the crema Catalana for dessert.

Loquita is an absolutely amazing culinary experience. The presentation is great; the variety of tastes, flavors, and smells is well crafted in every dish. I highly recommend the paella in whatever variation strikes you as appealing. Each one has its own charms; all three variations are a complete food adventure you will not regret.
Reservations a week or more in advance are highly recommended if you don’t want an extended wait for a table on a Friday/weekend/holiday.
A word about atmosphere: the dress code here is mostly as you are. Don’t show up straight off the beach, but you’ll find everything from suits and dresses to shorts and Hawaiian shirts among the patrons. This is a popular restaurant, so it will be busy and it can get a bit loud at peak dinner rush. Finally, the service team here is friendly, helpful, and prompt.
All of this said, expect a fine dining price, because that is what you are getting. With desert but no alcohol, we were north of $65 per person before tip.
Thank you Loquita team! We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and we hope to be back at some point in the not-too-distant future.

I’m sad to write this review because I was so excited to eat at this place during my visit at Santa Barbara. To start, I made a reservation about a month ago and I had to still wait 20 minutes for my table. The service was not very welcoming. I love Spanish food and that was one of the reasons why I wanted to come here. Having tried many Spanish restaurants I can say that the few things I tried here were very average or bad. The croquetas and cheese plate were just alright and the carrilleras were too salty. On the other hand, the Tempranillo wine was great and the olive oil cake was good. Lastly, the service took a long time between dishes, and even though I was hoping to try more things in the menu, the food was taking long enough that I started to feel full between dishes. Maybe I had this experience because it was Valentine’s Day which tends to be a bustier day for restaurants, but in this case I think the staff should be ready to handle this situations in a more welcoming way.

Absolutely amazing Spanish cuisine! I haven’t enjoyed food like this in a long time. The atmosphere truly makes you feel like you’re in Europe, the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and every dish was delicious. An outstanding dining experience — I will definitely be back!

Daniel was great and provided great service. We didn’t feel rushed and everything tasted amazing. I loved the crudo and thought the price was worth the quality. The ambience was perfect too.

I had an incredible dining experience at Laquita in Santa Barbara. The atmosphere is warm, vibrant, and inviting — the perfect setting to enjoy authentic Spanish flavors. From the moment we sat down, the staff made us feel welcome with friendly, attentive service and great menu recommendations.
The food was exceptional. The paella was rich and aromatic, cooked to perfection with a wonderful depth of flavor

We went for an early dinner and had great service. Food was delicious and plentiful. The cheese plate was nice sized with an interesting fennel marmalade. We had a fabulous artichoke dish and the paella was excellent. An outstanding meal.
