I had Tostadas, extra beef and of course the guacamole! Delivered through Door Dash to Ferndale! Everything yummy, hot. A little error no biggie...fixed immediately! read more

September 10, 2025 - Fortuna, CA Service was fast and friendly. We were greeted almost immediately, even though there was a line of people waiting for to-go orders. We seated ourselves and were quickly given chips, salsa, water, and menus. My husband ordered a Negro Modelo, and our server brought it right away while taking our meal order. I went with the Quesadilla con Carne a Elegir ($10.99) and chose chicken. It was simply chicken and cheese--no seasoning, sauce, guacamole, salsa, or sour cream--just the basics. The chicken was tender, but the quesadilla felt a little plain, and for the price, I thought it could have included a few extras. My husband, on the other hand, ordered the Chili Verde burrito. I found it too spicy for my taste, but he really enjoyed it. The seating was casual, and the restaurant was clean and pleasantly decorated. Overall, we had a nice meal with generous portions--enough leftovers for lunch the next day. read more

La Costa Mexican restaurant - September 10, 2025. We were greeted immediately by a woman behind the cast register who was also taking care of payment by another group. She told us to grab a table anywhere. We found a nice table over to the side, which was a little quieter than the front area. A young man showed up immediately with chips, salsa, and menus. He took our drink order. Our server showed up shortly afterwards with our drinks and took our order. I got the Chili Verde burrito and my wife got the chicken cheese quesadilla. The food came out in about 10 minutes. It was definitely worth the wait. Both meals were delicioso! My Negra Modelo beer was also very tasty! read more

3 of us went here for dinner while visiting the Redwoods. The service was good. We had the nachos grande $12 and they were ok the portion was almost equal to the chips and salsa they brought out so not really worth the price. The chips and salsa were good. The main courses were decent. Beef Fajitas 8/10, Super Burrito 6/10 and the chili relleno a 5/10. Paid 75$. Would go back just not running thru the door. Decent place overall. read more

The food was greasy and nasty. Second worst Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at. I've lived in L A and Texas, so I know what good Mexican food tastes like. Granted, the Mexican restaurants in Northern California tend not to be as good as ones closer to the border, but this was ridiculous! read more

Always such good food and service!!! Most authentic Mexican food in Fortuna!!! Consistently top quality!!!

Carne Asada burrito is always good. Beans are excellent but I'm sure they have lard in them, but they are very good. Best tortillas around probably the only place I've seen in the county that makes their own tortillas. read more

I had the Chili Relleno burrito. It came wet with a water thin sauce. The sauce tasted sour or turned. The beans were good inside. But the sauce ruined it. I should have returned it, but I didn't want to make a spectacle. read more

Friendly staff, fast service, delicious authentic food! Burrito was HUGE! Everything homemade! Best beans! read more

Came across this place before heading out for an afternoon of sightseeing. The building itself looks inviting by the way it's painted and there is a good amount of parking. When you walk in, it is a small establishment that has several tables and were told that we could sit anywhere. We were immediately served a basket of chips and salsa to munch on while deciding what to order. I chose the taco and tamale plate and the other two people with me chose carne asada fries and tacos. It got a busier while we were there and the server we had seemed to be the only one working but she was working hard. Our orders came out in about 15 minutes and my order was very hot and very flavorful. Not oily or anything. The tamale especially was was firm and didn't crumble. It is a nice family run restaurant and I was glad to support local small businesses. read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant in Humboldt without a doubt. I love how authentic the food taste and especially the giant homemade flour tortillas. The portions are large and the prices are fair. Authenticity takes time. IT'S NOT FAST FOOD!! read more

I've been coming here for years, and it's hands-down one of my favorite spots. The food is always great -- you can tell they put real care into everything they make. But what really keeps me coming back is the people. They're welcoming, consistent, and always treat me with respect. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable, where the staff remembers you and treats you like you matter. That kind of service isn't easy to find anymore, and I really appreciate it. This place has been a big part of my life growing up, and it's still just as good today. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. read more

Food is consistently yummy. Hard-working gals that always kind. Love the green Verde enchiladas and my favorite meat. Is the Carnitas on everything. Nice warm ambience and they make it easy to get through to them on the phone to put in an order to take home. read more

Great food and service! We went in around noon and I was surprised that there was plenty of room to sit. With great food and prices, I expected a crowd. We shared the Molcajete Trio and there was more than the two of us could eat. I imagine that two very hungry students could have finished it easily, but we had more than we needed. There is plenty of parking in back of the restaurant. Lots of indoor seating too. I would like to go back again when I go to Fortuna. read more

Delicious, authentic Mexican food with the best homemade tortillas in town! Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff is friendly. A new Fortuna favorite! read more

Good flavor and excellent service, and family oriented. Will eat here again with many choices for everyone

Stopped in for lunch as there are not many places in Fortuna to dine at. We ordered enchiladas and Chile relleno plates with rice and beans. The enchiladas were ok as was the Chile relleno but nothing to write home about. The place is small, looks like a family operation and the beer is cold, food hot and service good. The ambiance is not much, but if in Fortuna, it's a roll of the dice, and La Costa won. The server was pleasant, and for a small business, I believe we should all support their efforts and existence. read more

REALLY good! The food was outstanding. The chips and salsa, great, salsa had a little bite. The combos were generous portions. Chili relleno cooked perfectly. The tamale they make on site. Sauces were well seasoned. Will definitely return when back in town. read more

Probably the best Mexican food in the US. Everything is so good so authentic even there tortillas are made from scratch masa. So yummy. Suuuper nice workers too. Best salsa in the world. Best pollo la creme and yuevo ranchero and carnitas ever soooo gooooood. read more

What happened? Almost forgot to review? I ho back because of the fried tilapia fish that is bigger than the plate, ok, overhanging on the plate. It is crispy and good size for one person. It takes some work but the time spent almost forces you to enjoy the food. It comes with plain lettuce salad, beans, and rice. Salsa sauce goes with it. When done, you have a pile of bones! read more

The food here is incredible - and you get a lot of it for a very reasonable price. A local recommended La Costa to me and I can honestly say it is in the top 3 Mexican restaurants I've ever eaten at in Humboldt County. The homemade corn tortillas are amazing, and the food is authentic and so full of flavor. It reminds me of home. The staff is friendly and eager to help, and the restaurant is very clean and well-maintained. We ate here in the morning and there were only a few other people there, but I have heard that it can get crowded in the afternoon and evening. The wait time for food is a bit longer than average, but I found the wait to definitely be worth it. Good food sometimes takes some time! I believe that you can call in your order ahead of time. If you're on the fence about coming here, do it - you won't be disappointed. If you live in the area, please make the drive out to Fortuna and give La Costa a try. I'll be here again very soon, without a doubt. read more

Best Mexican food in Humboldt! I've been going for years, and the food has always been consistently delicious. I would definitely recommend.

What a gem. I'm a dollar general truck driver and needed a bite to eat and the lord almighty sent this restaurant down from heaven because this food tasted out of this world. I got the enchilada, taco, and quesadilla plate and I was NOT disappointed. It exceeded my expectations. I'm from Bakersfield and most places down there are Americanized with OK food, but this was a breath of fresh air. The tortillas are handmade, and the thickness of them makes it so much better. The meat and cheese was oozing out of the quesadilla it was so packed. The taco was exceptional and I loved the heat. The enchilada even tasted better than most which was surprising. I didn't think places like this existed anymore outside of Mexico. The food here was so good I will be requesting more US-101 routes just so I can stop here. You've made this truckers day. The service was excellent as well. read more

I didn't get to my burrito but My fiancé ate his and said they are really good. (I had to add the beans and rice to mine since the regular burritos are just meat and cheese which I found odd) He likes the tortilla A LOT. The tacos were really good, the steam made them a little soggy on the bottom but the flavor was (and I'm a harsh critic when it comes to tacos). The rice was REALLY good. The beans were a LITTLE watery but flavor was awesome. The chips were amazing but my sodium loving self added lime and salt. They were thin and crispy af. Overall very pleased. Better than our usual place but definitely more pricey. read more

La Costa Mexican Restaurant - Chips, two taco meal, extra meat and cheese burrito (to go) - Mexican Near Me - Fortuna, California

RATE 3 out of 5 SERVICE The staff was in a hurry, impatiently waiting, like they had other urgent like jobs to do. NEGATIVES More Fresh Raw Food (needs crunch, texture, nutrition), Better-looking food, More Vegan Options (cheese, sour cream, veggie meat) . It looks like glop-on-a-plate POSITIVES All the food Homemade! Their corn & flour tortillas are the reason they're #1 in HUMBOLDT County. I love their menus (colorful, classy, quality, descriptive) AMBIANCE tacky (red plastic table cloths), small eating area (it's in a refurbished bungalow house) too many tables, stuffy (no fresh air or fans), little natural lighting . Don't take on date PRICE Very affordable read more

Slow and rude. Passing through and very disappointed in the service. We love finding local specials but sadly this is just another crap place. Fajitas had so much pepper and they did not give us the condiments that always come with fajitas and looked at us like we were crazy bc she said you have to ask for them...... they also charge for tortilla. Do not recommend. read more

This will always be my favorite local restaurant. Always fast. Real homemade refried beans and listens to your order. I even start the jukebox and let someone pick the current Spanish hits. read more

La Costa is like every other Mexican restaurant in fortuna, they would fail miserably down south but because they know their clientele up here doesn't know any better they get away with serving what they serve. I'm honestly surprised to see so much raza eating there. A friend bought me a burrito today from there the California I was surprised to see it was so full of meat but then the surprise wore off when every piece of meat was like a piece of chewing gum, took my burrito apart found the french fries were raw and yeah so I haven't bought anything myself there for over a year. But I am a food snob and a lot of people seem to like it so try it for yourself. read more

Ordering take out from a place you've never been to is always a little bit of a gamble. Ordering food while traveling in the times of COVID is extra tricky. Luckily, this place saved the day. We were looking for lunch and saw they were open, "might as well try it", and so glad we did! We had a regular chicken burrito (my husband thinks it was also called a Jose Burrito?) and an Express Burrito. Both meals were delicious - heavy on the meat, great tortillas on the thicker side, and flavorful! I wish we had ordered a side of salsa for the regular burrito because I like it extra spicy, but it was awesome none the less. I'm looking forward to stopping here again the next time we're passing through! read more

Delicious food! Prices got a little high last week. Overall good experience and would recommend.

Worthy of a good review! We needed a quick lunch and happened to drive by and gave it a shot. Quick to-go service and healthy sized portions. Everything we ordered was pretty much amazing from the red sauce to the home made tortillas. We'll stop by here again to try more stuff on the menu. read more

La Costa Mexican Restaurant - Cheese enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Fortuna, California

This place is always SLAMMED, so be ready to wait, especially if you're ordering to-go. However, the food is authentic, and delicious! Every. Single. Time. We ALWAYS order the cheese quesadilla, which sounds so boring, but it's made on a GIANT homemade flour tortilla and is sensational. Seriously. I usually order the shrimp taco and taquitos, but the trick with the taquitos is to ask for Grilled Chicken.. it's much more flavorful than the shredded! Love this place, and will probably be back this week read more
