    This is a nice restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining. I have a small shared parking lot. The restaurant was recommended by our Lyft driver. They have drinks on the rocks or blended options. They do have a happy hour. The food that we tried for the happy hour was not good at all that ceviche is super spicy and the nachos lacked flavor. The restrooms do not have air and so they have a large fan to blow air into the bathroom. Our waiter was super nice and attentive, the winner made the experience great. But overall, the food was not good. The drinks were super sweet. The bathrooms do not have the sinks on the inside. Hope your experience is better than mine.

    Costa Pacifica is "A-okay". Food: 3.5 stars Service: 3 stars Drinks: 3 stars Atmosphere: 3.5 stars I dined here on a weeknight for just apps and drinks. There's a decent size covered patio and the standard inside seating options. The patio had a DJ set up that was ideal for a"party" atmosphere. We decided to sit inside near the bar for a slightly quieter area. We ordered the jalapeno margarita, Pina colada, fish ceviche and shrimp cocktail. The drinks were just okay. The service was friendly, but just okay as well. The shrimp cocktail and fish ceviche were pretty tasty. Definitely wouldn't mind ordering those again if I return. I did see that there are daily drink specials and music most nights of the week. Overall Costa Pacifica is great option if you want to meet up with a group of friends for a casual nightout.

    This place is amazing! Especially during happy hour! The ambiance is perfect and the staff are well trained! THE BEEF NACHOS HAVE MY HEART!! The beef empanadas were so unique! GREAT experience overall!

    Great apps and tacos. We loved the guacamole and shrimp ceviche. Birria and ribeye tacos were great too. Sangria and margaritas are large and delicious. cool area

    Guacamole with shrimp

    Best guacamole service on a long time. Two sauces as well as two kinds of salsa. Husband had the seafood soup, complete with octopus, fish, scallops and shrimp. I had lobster tacos, ok but not on same level as the fabulous guac! Sever delightful abs very attentive. Nice place for families, date night or after work gatherings.

    We had a large party about 24 people and they only had one server assigned to our section. 2 hours later 6 of us still didn't get our food. We asked for the manager several times he would drop in but immediately leave. He finally came to talk to us and totally blamed the server, never took responsibility. He said he'll bring us desserts to make up for the food, but the food should be out soon. 30 minutes later still no dessert. He came back said he'll comp our beverages, but food and dessert should be coming out. I received my food (fried fish and ceviche), they could have kept the fish. It was absolutely terrible but the ceviche was good. Dessert finally came out and it was delicious, I would have rather eaten the churros than the regular food. He also got the desserts wrong but they just kept it because they were hungry. Their food comes out and it's bagged up to go. No one asked for their food to go. The group was still there and everyone wanted to eat. 2 ladies said just forget it and left. 2 wanted to wait so they prepared it again and they shared the same opinion as me... terrible! We asked for the manager again, he came out and still blamed the server, poor girl did everything she should have and also should have had help. We find out the kitchen lost some tickets and other tickets were mixed in with other orders. It was a disaster, we all decided we will not return.

    This is a good place to enjoy some Mexican style fish and seafood dishes. It's not inexpensive, but very affordable for a seafood spot. I've come to this restaurant many times, and I don't think I've ever had anything I didn't enjoy. The last time I came was during their happy hour. I ordered a glass of wine with an Noruega Tostada and an amazing Spring Salad. The food was excellent. Their seafood tostada choices are very flavorful and the salad was huge. Besides enjoying my get together, I love that Costa is very bright and airy. There is also an option to sit at their patio, which we didn't at this time, but is perfect for cooler weather. Service is always on point and never slow. Beyond doubt, this is a good choice for happy hour or just meeting friends.

    Today we went to try their "All You Can Eat $25" tapas and it was beyond what we expected. Their portion sizes were just right because it gives you the opportunity to try dishes from their menu in smaller portions; and because of this experience, we now know what appetizers, main courses, and desserts we will be ordering in the future. Our waiter Jose Luis Palma was a wonderful waiter and beyond attentive to our requests and needs. My mother, sister, & I truly enjoyed our time this afternoon. The pictures shown below are just some of the tapas we tried. The Baja Shrimp Taco was beyond my favorite taco! The Fettuccini Alfredo was creamy, the pasta al dente, & the shrimps with it- delicious. The tostada de ceviche was fresh and it's literally the best ceviche in town- says my sister. The chicharron de ribeye was outstanding! The tortilla de maíz son hechas a mano y el arroz pollo, riquísimo! I've also had churros from other places BUT Costa Pacifica truly knows how to make a good churro! I'd recommend to get a side of ice cream to truly enjoy the cinnamon from the churros. #WonderfulSaturday #YummyFood #TrulyWorthThe25

    est appetizer is Tuna Carpaccio ! Great for beer drinking or watching soccer games! We ordered Mojara Frita and Shrimp Cocktail! Both are top notch dishes! Love the Mexican ambiance and great management ! Shout out to Arturo !

    Tuna Carpaccio
    Kassandra C.

    Food was great! We ordered the tuna capriccio, the mango ceviche and the torre libre. They were super fresh and full of flavor. Only complaint is the tortilla chips we got at the beginning were stale. We also ordered the micheladas and were made with Clamato, very yummy and huge. Service was great very nice. The music was great and the patio are offers nice shade.

    I can't say enough good things about this place! Wow the vibe was intimate but still so fun and the food was too reasonably priced bc it's so much for the price and the flavor wow. Im ofc Hispanic lived in Mexico for a while and I go back and forth and for me to praise mariscos in SA oof. The service is great! Fernando was an excellent server, super efficient, friendly and informative. Please give it a try but head the warning that if the server says it's spicy it's actually spicy!

That place was empty and this place was mostly full. The inside was simple, working class style but nice tables and clean. The Chile Relleno was legit and the added chicken was seasoned to perfection. And the cocktail they made my wife was tasty and strong. And anyone who know me, knows that I test a Mexican restaurant by how well they make a basic rice and beans side dish. This place passed with flying colors. I've never gone wrong with any Mexican place that if they put the attention and focus into rice and beans, then the entrees are pretty spectacular. Check them out!

To anyone who wants to try this location, I will recommend to order the Calle de olla for coffee. If you normally drink your coffee black then I do not recommend it because it is a bit on the sweet side. But they do offer regular pot coffee as an option. (The sweetness caught my mom off guard). Taste it before you add anything to it. I also recommend trying the small conchas-they came out warm and ready to eat! This was only my second time going to this restaurant but both times I have had good experiences. Parking is a little odd. There is parking in the front and parking in the back.

I decided to stay in the city longer to check out this place. This restaurant is huge and the wait was 45 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. We used our waiting time to stroll through the Mercado across the way. Once the table was ready, my friend got a text. I always wanted to try menudo every Mexican restaurant I go to. But not until I saw the sign on the back cover. This restaurant is under the same owner as Pico de Gallo. Omg. I just had their menudo the day before. No thanks. I decided to order fajita chicken salad. The portion was really small. The food only filled a half of the fried salad bowl. I asked to put cheese on the side. It may had it look more but I don't eat cheese as much. I was glad that dressing was on the side. Which was too salty for me. So, if the food was the same as other chain, we could have eaten there which was closer to the hotel. But I noticed the difference was the servers. Our waitress was cuter and very polite.

The hostess was a little drab but as I was walked in to be seated, you could feel the upbeat mood. Note that if you're dining solo, they will push hard to seat you at a dark diner type counter to stare at the kitchen area even if you have a reservation, so don't give in unless you're starving and that's your last resort. The colorful decor hits you and you're transported. I ordered the "Mexican Dinner" with chicken enchilada, pork tamal, beef taco with beans and rice. Also had a side order of fresh handmade tortillas. Paloma to wash it all down. Everything tasted great. My server was excellent. Patient and helpful with recommendations. The mariachi band was fun and they roamed the restaurant and bar to play, so chances are that if they aren't singing at your table then they're nearby.

It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
