What People Are Saying About La Luna Negra
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – Nearly bohemian--at least for Old Town Pasadena--La Luna Negra recognizes tapas for what they traditionally are: well turned-out bar food. The funky loft-like space splashed with color and furnished with thrift store findings creates a mood of casual good times, and on weekends the party atmosphere is further enhanced by flamenco dancers stamping their way around diners' toes. – – The Food – Simple pleasures tend to be most reliable, like the classics tortilla paisana served in super-sized wedges or the equally giant prawns, served upended like comic…

The food is okay but the service is very idiotic disrespectful and unpleasant!!! I had paid double tax for tip! And manager came over wanting me to give like fifty dollars tip !! Telling me what I should give for tip!! That is the most ungreatful bulshit I have ever heard I left that place with 1 penny for insulting me!! People please do not go there!!

wish I can rate this "no star"
by uncleaka
for all you dumb dumbs out there, this is NOT food from valencia. this will probably pass for glorified baja fresh menu, but it ain't anything close of being catalonia or valencia. take it from me who has been to real authentic spanish restaurants in new york city, la luna negra is a big joke. we found none of the tapas to be special. and it seems the valentine's menu was limited compared to the menu we found on their website. we ordered paella de oceano, and was asked by the waiter if we wanted "spicy or mild". THAT'S A JOKE!! Authentic paella do not have spicy. this must be a tex-mex flavor. my wife and i were so hoping to have good paella. the worst was when the paella came, it was all green and the rice was mushy and creamy cheesy wet. supposed to be no cheese in any paella from spain. it resembled some spiceless green curry from the worst thai restaurant. we questioned our waiter and he said the red color from paellas is because they were spicy. so at this point, i was already disappointed there was something lost. finally the waiter brings us a red sauce that was supposedly "spicy". it was not. it was your typical marinara sauce you would find at buca di peppo three doors down. we left all disappointed with somewhat expensive meal. on top of that, the unfriendly hostess didn't even acknowledge we struggled to open the door while we were leaving, especially when my wife is 9 months pregnant. we got so ripped!!!! (thanks EQ ...jk)
- Pros: none
- Cons: i wish we got there later to see the flamenco show.

Horrible place with nasty food.
by bperelsh
Horrible place. I agree with ALL negative reviews ! We had a medium group of people sharing almost everything from the menu - not a single decent dish or tapas ! I am just surprised what skill does it take/requires to spoil EVERY dish. I am no food expert but in my opinion what we were presented with has no Spanish "even hint in it" - just plane boring nasty horrible food. NO NO for me and my friends - to bad it really could have been a nice place with all the interior decoration and location.
- Pros: Great Setting
- Cons: Horrible food
