Fresh and delicious food! Very busy place but worth the wait! I usually order to go and the cooks pack it the way I like it! Well worth the price ! $$ read more

The best place to get tacos from a joint not on wheels. Seriously, standard Roach Coach fair, very delish. I love the carne asada tacos. My only wish? They had chips and salsa..... Other than that, great place. read more

I actually kind of can't believe I am writing a review for La Costa. La Costa legend lives large in the minds of east bay residents - It's the most delicious taqueria this side of the bay. ...It might be easier to list what I haven't eaten at La Costa because the list is much shorter than what I have tried. Tacos - simplistic deliciousness defined. They are two corn tortillas, a mount of meat topped with cilantro, fresh onion and salsa. Burritos - are delicious and huge. I usually end my first bite with a heavy sigh and close my eyes as I struggle to finish. Everything here is good to amazing but with the tacos and burritos you really won't need anything else. (Burritos and quesadillas can be made vegetarian friendly in case you are one of those...) read more

Used to go here almost weekly.. seems as if things got a little laxed in the last 6 months.. I still keep trying every now and then with a decent size order for the family dinner. read more

Decent Mexican food at a good price. I was a little disappointed with the taco selection. I would prefer both a soft and hard shell option, and made with a larger tortilla. read more

Great food, very nice staff!! Food is consistently fresh, well prepared and cost for a family for a platter is one of the best deals in the area!! read more

Wtf happen to this place, the slasa bar is gone food is horrible, apparently the owner does not want to invest in anything. I order a lengua borrito and it had more rice than meat!!! . The ceviche has gone low quality and the aguachile has no taste at all. The service is horrible, no caring on answeting customer questions or so. This place used to be waaaayyy much better when it used to be just a small place, the tacos are not what they used to be. Idk why this is happening but I would rather drive all the way to oakland and eat at the taco trucks there. So disappointed. read more

Best tacos in town! You knw a place is great when theres always a line but it moves so quick! I don't know how they do it!

I've been going here since it was just a walk up window with no overhang or seating. Now they got a big ol purty building with hella seating, and a/c I usually get something different every time I go there, which, is sometimes everyday lol They have Vegetarian options, Whole beans upon request, and have gluten free options too, if you get a super burrito bowl. Best bang for your buck in these parts! (LA Costa in Oakley is way better than the one in Brentwood) read more

Regardless of the updated, new, & clean environment I have to say I'm a little sad it isn't as good as it use to be BUT because it is SO close to my parent's house you will still find me here every now & then read more

Have been going to them for my Mexican food cravings for years. They used to be a little shack sort of building but now they moved on up to a fancy new place. Same location just bigger and better. The food is the best around here (in contra Costa county & Alameda) the only one that compares is Baldos in Vacaville. I have tried others but this is truly the best. read more

This is not a chicken quesadilla. Grease just pouring out of the burrito I received instead of my order. Basically spent $11 bucks on two sodas since the old chips and wrong order went in the trash. Won't be back. read more

La Costa - Horrible - Mexican Near Me - Oakley, California

This place hypes up their fish. So I ordered ceviche, and my wife followed suit. Order came up and it was mixed imitation seafood on a store bought, hard, flat tostada shell with some generic salsa?! No good. The burritos, tacos, etc. at the Brentwood location are usually really good, so I was really surprised at my nasty seafood experience at the Oakley location. Won't be back to the Oakley location to try anything after this experience. I'll stick to the Brentwood location, thank you. read more

Just the Best. Thats it. I moved out of the area years ago and I still think about this place. Anytime I visit Oakley(hometown I grew up in) La Costa is a must meal. read more

la costa probably opened in brentwood or oakley before it opened in oaktown. the menus are about the same, the prices are higher here. sampling: asada burrito(4) -chewy beef, lots of beans, not much else. lemon wedges given -beef too sinewy frijoles refritos: -tented in diing area ala oaktown. -cash only, tax included -frenzied , kinetic service -asada burrito only a 3, other items no doubt a 4. read more

Wow, why have I never been here until now?! I heard this place was recently renovated so I checked it out. This place is WAY better than chipotle, and it is LEGIT mexican food! Not to mention they have a frickin` salsa bar for unlimited salsa! I ordered the beef quesadilla (7$) and super shrimp nachos (8$). The portions are HUGE! I shared with my gf and we did not even finish it.There was a lot of the meat (beef/shrimp) in the dishes as well! The meat tasted great, something that you would not get at a fast food place. The salsa bar is amazing! Hot, medium, pico de gallo, guac salsa, and jalepenos. They also have a bunch of drinks on tap for example horchata!!! I think I will start coming here instead of chipotle if I am in this area! Price for the amount of food you get is not bad either! Get more than what you pay for. read more

Great delicious food, great prices, I like both sites (Oakley) & (Brentwood) - both sites are super duper fast getting orders out, always a plus. read more

Um Mexican food at its finest joint blank you either love it or you hate it. And I'm one hundred % lover read more

La Costa - Chicken burrito with hot salsa an jalapeno!!!! To die for!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Oakley, California

Ordered the super tacos, and they were huge! Only downside is that the oil from the meat soaked the tortillas up and I could barely eat it as a taco. I basically didn't even eat the tortillas and just fork fed everything, or ate it with chips. I like that they give a lot, however maybe portion it better so it makes it doable to eat the super taco as an actual taco. read more

I've found that people either love this place or they hate it. I personally love it. So does my family and all of my friends (no friend of mine would hate this place!). I always get a Beef Burrito or a Kid's Bean & Cheese (same price as a regular bean & cheese just split into two burritos). The Beef Burritos are to die for with lime or Tapatio hot sauce! My dad likes to get the Pork Burritos or have a Tounge Burrito when he's feeling adventurous. But most people I know get the Beef Tacos! The are jam packed with deliciousness! Again, it's a must have with lime or Tapatio. The service is always great. During lunch and dinner rushes there can be up to 10 people standing in line in front of me and I'll still get out of there under 10 minutes. Basically if you're looking for some authentic Mexican food, go to La Costa! You'll never eat at Taco Bell again. read more

Everything on the menu is good. I typically order a wet burrito with avocado if I have time, but if not I'll grab a regular burrito. A lot of bang for your buck and a real taste of authentic Mexican food- this place puts Chipotle to shame! Grab a Corona, throw a lime in it, and enjoy a wet burrito. Money was never spent better. Also try their shrimp tostada. Delicious and fresh! read more

gross, fast-food mexican. i get a stomach ache every time i eat here. i can't understand why it's always busy there.

They always have really good really fresh food. Been coming here since it was just a little taco stand.

As far as I can tell, the point of this place is the seafood. (I mean...the name of the place is LA COSTA, after all.) Aguachile, in particular, is outstanding, and doesn't even show up on typical Mexican menus in the Bay Area. Ceviche de pescado is great, too. Both are pretty healthy, which assuages the guilt of getting a cupcake at Republic of Cake next door afterwards. That's a perfect meal. My MIL really really liked the vegetarian nachos, but I haven't tried them myself. read more

Super Cheap!!! and always good food....Wish they actually sold a larger size of salsa to go...The little plastic containers are NOT enough, the salsa is soo good!!! I always drive by and the place is rarely empty, there are always cars coming in and out of the lot.... read more

Favorite Mexican food spot in Eastbay! Always fresh, food comes out quickly. Friendly staff. And the outdoor patio is so nice and serene. Salsa bar is a must! I wish they had it at the Brentwood location also. I'm a pescatarian, so my favorite dish on the menu is their shrimp super burrito. But I also love the taco salad and the nachos! Also a bonus, their bathrooms and restaurant is always spotless! Like literally always clean! I moved about 40 minutes away and I have no problem making the drive for the food there! They are getting it right!!! read more

This is by and large my favorite taqueria in the Bay Area. No Spanish required, La Costa attracts folks of all ethnic backgrounds and languages, and their staff treat you like family. But don't get me wrong; there are plenty of Mexicans eating at La Costa - a sure sign that they keep true to the recipies from back home. This taqueria handles a lot of seafood, and thus carries dishes not often included in the fare of smaller restaurants. The most notable UPSIDE to the place is the speed at which the dishes are prepared; do not ever expect to have to wait very long. The cooks and staff work at a speed that would leave most meth addicts dizzy, and the place operates like a precision taco machine on caffine. The dining takes place alfresco, albiet with some protection from the most hostile of climates, since during the summer their canopy and water misters keep the dining area tolerable despite the delta-swelter. In the winter, you can scarf your tacos down inside a "bubble-boy" tent that surrounds the dining area, to the melody of diesel pistons chugging loaded trucks down highway 4 only yards from your table. But this only adds character to the whole experience, and the food MORE than makes up for what the restaurant lacks in modern amenities. Bring your cash, your appetite, and bug repellant. read more

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST. I've been here so many times. Everything is so good! The prices are low and the service is extremely quick. Definitely one of my top 5 favorites places to eat! read more

I am an avid taco lover and grew up in the area! I always heard about this hot spot in high school but never really gave mexican food a chance until moving to college! I came home for spring break excited to try La Costa because of all the hype i heard and IT DID NOT DISSAPPOINT! fair prices! I will be coming here everytime im in the area! Carne Asada Tacos and the shrimp ceviche are my favorites! I love their salsa bar with peppers, limes, salsas, and radishes! Such a nice addition to the already amazing resturant! Such fast and kind service! The only thing is i wish they had salsa verde without avocado bevause i am allergic but that is personal but i love their mild and spicy salsa !!!! read more

Thinking back to the summer of 2005... The smell of grilled chicken, marinated beef, and the thought of shrimp danced in my head as I took the stroll down Main Street on a summer day when I first moved to Oakley. I had a serious craving for good tacos and burritos. I was debating between La Costa and another restaurant just a few steps away - but the melody I could hear from the speakers set around the eating area lured me to La Costa, and I'm glad I made that choice. The portion sizes are the best, the price is right, and the food is prepared fresh. Ingredients are chosen with care and are fresh (no canned veggies here!) The staff always welcoming, coming here is a pleasant experience. La Costa is the reason I miss living in Oakley, but when I go to Brentwood I always make a stop here. read more

The carne asada is okay--I've definately had better in Oakland, Hayward and even San Leandro. I was pretty hungry so I devoured my carne asada taco. I ordered the pastor burrito to go and when I got home and started eating it I was surprised to find no pastor...it was just a bean, cheese and rice burrito. I kept thinking that maybe the pastor was more toward the middle, but got there, and nope...nothing. I think I'll try somewhere else next time before I go back here...if I ever go back. read more

Good, in expensive food with friendly service! Only problem is they only take cash. read more

Delicious food for a great price. I've been here at least 20 times. Always have left full and happy. I get a burrito for $5 and its big. The cool thing is that even thought it's $5 the burrito could sell for $7. It's not greasy at all! Praise the lord!! read more

La Costa - Friendly staff and passionate. I would hire any of them for their efficiency - Mexican Near Me - Oakley, California

This place is great! I love the customer service here never had an issue. They're fast and the food is delicious! The location is very clean and that's a plus! read more

Great food. Very fast service. Food always comes out fast. Great flavor to the food.., always clean. highly recommend this restaurant

Great customer service, food was prepaired fast, and tasted great! Prices are cheap and I love the serve your self section with the lemons and sauces and other things! It is busy especially during lunch hours but it is delicious food! read more

Both locations, Brentwood and Oakley are the bomb. Burritos, tacos, carnitas quesadillas (no carnitas at Oakley) and agua chile is what i mainly order. Their tortas look really good which i'll try next. Meat is always real juicy and tender with lots of flavor. Authentic mexican food at its finest. Been coming to these locations for several years. I have had better Horchata though, they pre-make the cups with ice and it gets watered down. Stop doing that or i'll stop buying horchata. read more

This place made me refuse to order tacos on the East Coast. Eating here raised the bar for me on what I considered to be "good" Mexican food. The prices are literally a steal. At $1.50 per taco, shame on you if you leave here empty. read more

La Costa has been one of the best places for a taco in a long time. Great food and fast service and really good prices!

Always get the tostadas de ceviche. Bomb.com I don't usually ever get anything else but that. Tostada by itself runs for 4 dollars or you can get a cazuela de ceviche for 8. I always go for the 8 dollar. One read more
