Loquita
Spanish
A few blocks from the beach, this Spanish restaurant fills a cream stucco building with colorful tiles, pink bar stools, and starburst fixtures that manage to feel festive without tipping into kitsch. It's a tapas and paella spot with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a wood counter worth claiming, and a separate gin and tonic list that functions as both opening argument and closing statement. Servers know the menu cold, so let them guide you.
