Loquita https://www.loquitasb.com/ is a well established Spanish tapas style restaurant in Santa Barbara which is covering a range of “classic” dishes. Most of these dishes were well executed and tasty (but we would love to see restaurants serving paella with socerrat which really adds much more flavor to the dish).
