Loquita

This upscale corner spot in the Funk Zone is a great choice for sipping cocktails and people watching. The massive patio makes it ideal for a big outdoor group dinner and the incredible Spanish food only sweetens the deal. From tapas to desserts, all of the food is flavorful and fun to share. The paellas are a highlight: many of them include a combination of traditional ingredients like chorizo and seafood, plus some not-so-traditional items like tempura squash blossoms or avocado. You can seamlessly finish your meal with an order of the crunchy churros, served with three different dips: dulce de leche, raspberry vanilla, and chocolate.
