Huevos Rancheros and Chicken Enchiladas with homemade Horchata
Monica C.

The food was good, we ordered from the breakfast menu. Their house made horchata was one of my favorites, big portion. The service was quick and friendly. There's a nice patio in the back which would be great to sit at during warmer season.

Shredded Beef enchiladas!

Food is always Excellent!! Canitas and shredded beef are the bomb!! If you haven't given them a try you definitely should. Tiny hole in the wall place!

Grilled Chicken Taco Carne Asada Taco & Rice

Dinner was excellent! I had the carne asada and grilled chicken tacos, my husband had the pork verde burrito (wet) and a birria taco--everything was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The food is consistently delicious, and I usually get the chicken flautas but switched it up because I wanted tacos. An ice-cold Corona (now that they have their beer & wine license back) was perfect. On top of the great food, the owners are wonderful people--friendly, personable, and always make you feel welcome. Great food, great portions, and great people!

La Costa Grill is hands-down the best Mexican food on the Central Coast--bar none--and I say that as a true Mexican food snob.

Very overpriced for a small carne asada burrito. Could have easily been a $5 dollar burrito as opposed to $13.

We were placed on the back patio, which was beautiful, covered, heated, and thoughtfully decorated, making it a very comfortable and inviting space. We ordered the Cajun Seafood Boil, and it did not disappoint. It came with a generous amount of crab, shrimp, lobster, clams, and mussels. The seasoning was bold and flavorful without being overwhelming. The corn, potatoes, and sausage were perfectly portioned, complementing the seafood instead of taking the focus away from it. The rich, buttery garlic sauce tied everything together and was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the half-shell oysters, which were the perfect medium size. They were meaty and had the rich, briny flavor I enjoy. Our server, Angel, was outstanding. Our food came out quickly, she checked on us regularly, and she was attentive to everything we needed without any delay. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere made this an easy place to recommend for the whole family.

With Ember being on the Michelin guide as a recommended restaurant, I went in with high…read moreexpectations. And boy did they deliver. Rarely do I walk away from a dining experience where the quality of service and quality of food fight to outshine one another, but this was one of those spots. Our server, a German gentleman, was the consummate professional- always friendly, never overstepping, and added such a warm dimension to our meal. The fried green tomatoes and the white beet appetizers were standouts. I especially loved the vinegary dressing on the greens of the beet dish. For mains, we got the leek olive potato pizza, the ribeye, and the wood fire poached halibut. The avocado chimichurri that accompanied the ribeye was the perfect balance, and the sautéed greens under the fish were savory with the right amount of bite. I also liked their selection of mocktails; the pink pony club was a particular standout. All this for $200 was a better price tag than I was expecting, but most importantly, it got the stamp of approval from my notoriously picky grandmother and uncle. This spot is worth the drive.

Wow.....excellent food and great service. The servers work together as a team and were spot on…read more Michael was our primary and he is polite, friendly and on the ball. Great job. Started with a Butterleaf Wedge which is unique and tasty. Great buttermilk dressing. Really enjoyed it. My grandson had the 50 Layer Lasagna. He loved it. My wife had the La Rustichella Garganelli. Very nice pasta dish but a tad on the drier side. She liked it. I had the Pollo Al Mattone which is a half chicken cooked under a brick. Moist with an unbelievable flavor. The polenta slice was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Wood fire smell, clean bathrooms, etc.

I heard the other Waiters as they served the clients. They were very friendly, professional and served the customers with a smile.

Some of the plates coming out looked AMAZING. We had the Crab Dip, House Salad, Crab Louis Salad and Clam Chowder. Everything was delicious and satisfying. We even took home a slice of Key Lime Pie.

Cute and casual restaurant displaying many lovely beach murals and specializing in seafood. DJ was our fantastic server today. He was Friendly & attentive. We ordered 2 buckets with crab & shrimp. Our order came out steamy & tasty very quickly. The buckets include a choice of crab, shrimp, mussels & clams. It includes corn, potatoes, sausage & your seafood choices. They have many seafood options besides the buckets. DJ was so accommodating throughout our meal. We dined early around 5pm, but if you go during peak hours, lunch or dinner you may have a wait. They do not take reservations. They are moderately priced and portions are good. For a fun beach y experience definitely drop in for a meal.

It's not clear whether we seat ourselves or wait to be seated so we just awkwardly stood imposing? on their luncheon while we waited for a welcome and some guidance. Service took forever. Chips and salsa were good while i waited. The waitress was nice but definitely understaffed so she was catering to the owners and their family vs anyone else. I'm actually still waiting as i write this.... Maybe I'll come back during the week some time but never on a Sunday again. Just got the food and still haven't received my water. It's been over 30 minutes.

I ordered the La Torre a stack full of delicious fresh seafood, including octopus, scallop, shrimp, crab, cucumber, red onions, just a very flavorful fresh tower of seafood. My husband tried the red enchiladas, which were Carne Asada with red sauce. They have an assortment of MexicanAguas frescas too. It was kind of empty when we arrived, while we were there, people were arriving, so I'm hoping that the good reviews are bringing people and we were truly in need of a good seafood place like this. Atmosphere with decent music was semi loud, but it would be nice if they just had some more colors of Mexico where it can be vibrant and more inviting, I guess with time it will come.
