With this tapas bar's tropical décor and color scheme of deep greens, reds and purples, you'll feel like you’ve flown to an exotic island. To complete the illusion, Loca Luna has painted lush scenery into the windows and fluffy clouds onto the ceiling. Moreover, their inner courtyard boasts live palms trees, fountains, and a center reflecting pool.

For the full island experience, head to one of Loca Luna's packed bars to quench your thirst with some Brazilian signatures, such as the minty Mojito or the tart Caipirinha limeade. On the weekends, live Latin bands ensure that the energy level at Loca Luna remains at a fevered pitch, and the festive atmosphere can grow to immense proportions when the place is packed, with conga lines forming at any moment. Thus, expect a wait if you'd like to get a table.

Thankfully, there’s a dance space where you can samba and salsa to the Latin beats while you’re waiting. The dancers also provide great entertainment once you sit down to enjoy your assortment of Brazilian tapas and your pitcher of Sangria. There are 30 scrumptious appetizer-size dishes to choose from, so pick several for everyone to share a sampling. For a sweet ending, you must try the honey-dipped fried plaintains.
