    This place is a gem. Authentic food. Fast service with affordable pricing. The decor and ambience takes you back to mexico. Wide variety of food options for everyone. Plenty of seating indoors as well as outdoors. Avg table size seats 4 but I'm sure you can have tables moved to accommodate more. This is an order at the counter and seat yourself establishment, which is great as this makes things go by quicker. Plenty of staff to keep the tables clean and food orders coming out quickly.

    Vegetarian Super Burrito
    Kristal H.

    La Costa is my favorite Mexican restaurant! We normally get some sort of a super burrito, and switch off between carne asada, pastor, chicken or vegetarian! The burritos are massive and the meat is so flavorful. The vibe is super cool. Indoor and outdoor seating with Mexican music playing. My favorite part is their salsa bar!

    Long black hair

    I had a really bad experience at La Costa Taqueria on Main St in Oakley. I ordered tacos de cabeza, and while I was eating, I found a long black hair in my food. It was absolutely disgusting --there's nothing worse than enjoying your meal and suddenly feeling a hair in your mouth. This is completely unacceptable. Restaurants should take hygiene and food safety much more seriously. Situations like this make customers lose trust right away. I won't be coming back. Please be more careful with cleanliness.

    The service is top notch at this place, they noticed I was walking out the door with my leftovers and someone said, "hey boss, need a bag". Not only is the service great but the vibe of this place is insane. Decorations everywhere, fountain outside, I loved it all. The food is great as well the prices are reasonable the portions are big. Only complaint is I wish I could have a real plate when I eat in not a Togo container. Side note I've been told this location is nicer than the other locations. Can't wait to come back.

    la costa es hermosa en Oakley the ambiance and vibe is great and immaculate, with inside the whole restaurant giving off a welcoming vibe. i ordered tacos, and those delivered

    Carnitas burrito

    Ahhhhmazingly delicious! Have you ever wanted a restaurant where the food is better than just good, the service is prompt and pleasant, and vibe is chill yet just a little upbeat? Oh, did I mention, the prices won't break the bank? Look no further, this spot is for you.

    Horchata
    Alan D.

    My co-worker today has talked about this place and he went there again today to grab some food. I brought my own food for my meal break, but I did want to try their horchata. This review is solely based on the drink I ordered, and nothing else. Horchata: This was a really delicious and refreshing drink. It was a bit warmer today, so this ice cold drink hit the spot. The horchata was not overly sweet nor was it bland. It was also made well, since I didn't taste anything grainy or powdery, which I usually get with cinnamon. Speaking of cinnamon, enough of it was there to show its profile but more overwhelm you. And for the price it costs, this drink was definitely worth it. I can see myself trying regular food there one day, but I will come back for the horchata.

    It's a busy day during Father's Day. You line up to order your food and then you find a table. There is plenty of seating inside and outside the restaurant. The menu expansive. We ordered a chicken quesadila, asada burrito, cheese nachos, and pastor burrito (which they forgot). My husband had to go back and order it, we were hungry and he needed to wait for his order even more. There is not enough chicken in the quesadila it's mainly tomato and lettuce. The cheese nacho was unfortunately not worth $6. The cheese is not melty, it was just hard. I did like my asada burrito, it was flavorful.

    LaCosta (Oakley) has been an amazing place foR seafood and Mexican cuisine for so long. I live out of state and I have to stop in whenever I'm out this way. The food is fresh and delicious with healthy portions. I love the atmosphere and ambiance. Great outdoor seating options. The service is always quick and courteous.

    "Super steak and shrimp burrito"

    Food is meh. Horchata comes out of a machine so it's not hand made or whatever. Ive had better. It's like gentrified Mexican food, so come eat if that's your thing. I'm literally at the table with a whole burrito and I am so unimpressed.

    Tacos are on the menu for everyone in the family. Tonight we got nachos, 12 tacos, and shrimp and steak burritos. My favorite thing about coming here is the burritos and tacos. The service was fast and outstanding. The dining area is always impeccably clean. Their work is top-notch. The food is incredible. Show your support for local businesses and come down.

They also have a full bar, which is always a plus! We started with a Modelo and a Lagunitas IPA, both on draft, along with a Cadillac Margarita. They bring out complimentary chips, salsa, and bean dip, and everything was delicious. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Nancy, who was both our waitress and bartender. She was amazing! Our chips were getting low and before we even had to ask, she noticed and immediately brought us a fresh basket along with more salsa and bean dip. That kind of attentive service makes such a difference! For our meal, we ordered the Chile Verde lunch special, which was a really good size and very satisfying, plus two à la carte tacos. Everything hit the spot! Between the great atmosphere, drinks, food, and especially the friendly service, we had such a good experience. We're already planning our next visit!

The environment looked really nice, and they definitely went all out with the decor. I really enjoyed the look and atmosphere of the place. I could tell the servers and hosts were a bit overwhelmed because it was extremely busy, and I completely understand. After we ordered, they were kind enough to bring out our beverages: water, juice, and coffee. However, this was where we ended up waiting quite a while for our meals. We ordered a few platters along with nachos, and I honestly feel like the nachos could have been brought out first since they're a quick appetizer that the table could enjoy while waiting for the main dishes. Once our meals finally arrived, I was excited because this was my first meal of the day. Unfortunately, when I took my first bite of the carne asada, I was pretty disappointed. The meat was extremely bland. The best part of my plate was probably the frijoles. I was hoping the salsa provided at the table would help add some flavor, but unfortunately, both salsas tasted very diluted. I know some water is normally used when making salsa, but I felt like the ratio was off and it didn't have enough flavor or spice to balance out the meat. I still devoured my entire plate because I was starving, but my family members had similar thoughts. They also felt that their proteins were a bit bland and agreed that the salsa could have used more flavor. There is definitely room for improvement, but I appreciate the service and understand that they were dealing with a very busy Sunday. Hopefully, with some adjustments to the seasoning and salsas, the food can match the great atmosphere and hospitality.

Servers were nice, brought out drinks out, with chips and salsa. 15 minutes later the breakfast plate was delivered. I had to ask for silverware, as there wasn't any on the table. 10 minutes later both taco plates were delivered, asked for silverware again. Server asked if there was anything else. Wife asked about her flutas? There was a bit of a scramble and then it appeared that they put the flutas order in. Everyone finished their food, and the Flan was brought out. Flutas finally arrived, wife was not happy. Asked for a togo box and we left. When asked what happened, she had nothing to say and dropped off 2 $5 off passes for our next visit. That's it, nothing more. Hope this helps management/ownership make some useful changes or at least gives them some valuable information.
