    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!

    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

    "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.

    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.

    I found a skin of a avocado in my burrito I have more topping than actually steak meat

    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.

    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.

    Why is all the rice and sour cream on one side?
    Mark A.

    3/5 stars I've been eating at La Costa for 15 years, and sadly, the burritos just aren't what they used to be. These days, they're more miss than hit -- sometimes the sour cream is all on one side, and the meat's bunched up at the bottom. The tacos and taco bowl are still pretty consistent, and the service is always fast and friendly. The food is priced fairly, and the atmosphere is nice, but the inconsistent burritos hold it back. If you want a sure bet, stick to the taco

    We've been to Mi Mazatlan twice now and it has officially become our new go-to Mexican seafood…read morerestaurant in Brentwood! The restaurant is very clean, nicely decorated, and has a fun busy atmosphere. Great location and the staff has been very friendly every time we've visited. This visit we had the shrimp taco salad and the Mariscada Mi Mazatlan special OMG, so fresh and delicious! Served hot and loaded with crab, clams, mussels, octopus, langoustines, and shrimp. Absolutely amazing seafood. We also tried the fresh oysters, Cadillac margarita on the rocks, chips and salsa, and several other dishes our family really enjoyed. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommend if you love Mexican seafood!

    Came in on Saturday for an early Father's Day lunch with my wife and kids. My sons shared a steak…read moreburrito, and when it arrived, it was so hot I could barely remove it from the foil. The plate itself was scorching hot--I couldn't even pick it up. It honestly felt like the burrito had been microwaved for too long. I ordered the Chile Verde wet burrito and had a similar experience. The plate was extremely hot, the pork was very tough and seemed undercooked for a dish that should be tender, and nearly half of the meat was fat. I also found multiple bay leaves mixed into the burrito. The chips were so heavily salted that they were practically inedible. I actually had to rub some of the salt off before eating them. This was our second visit, and unfortunately, it will probably be our last. Our waitress was very friendly and provided good service, but for the prices they charge, I would rather eat at places like Tu Jalisco or La Costa in Oakley, Guadalajara Taqueria, Taqueria Salsa, or Las Fodongas in Antioch.
