Service is friendly as ever. But at the menu prices I really feel like I'm paying for the view instead of the food itself. Notably, $13 for ice cream nachos. This is what we came for. This time the serving was 4 measly chips with a half scoop of ice cream and what seemed like the dying breath of a whipped cream can. Oh and the chips themselves that I remembered as crispy and airy were stale and rubbery. It was heart wrenching tbh. Oh and me and my boyfriend are currently playing rock paper scissors for the bathroom so there's that. Please get it together, we really wanna come back!

I hope that they will make the same update to the patio, it is still the harsh 1,000 watt white bulbs out there, and soooo many of them. I still love coming here but I am incredibly disappointed that it wasn't until after I received the bill that my server told me even though the menu states "all margaritas half priced on Mondays" it does not apply to the one I ordered. A decent server would make a patron aware of this. Also, $21 for a margarita is insane.

She even suggested other plates when we asked, which I appreciated. We ordered the carnitas plate, but the flavor and texture didn't seem like traditional pork carnitas -- it tasted more like beef to us, and it wasn't what we were hoping for. My boyfriend ordered the carne en chile rojo, but he also wasn't a big fan of the flavor. The albóndiga soup was probably our favorite, and I would rate it around a 4/10. The service was definitely the highlight of our visit. Our waitress was kind and tried to guide us toward other options, but unfortunately the food flavors just didn't meet our expectations this time. Hopefully other dishes are better.

Super flavorful and well seasoned. There is a small parking lot inside/behind the business. Anyways. I wish they had ONE salsa that wasn't spicy. Maybe the green tomatillo one was mild but other than that theyre all spicy. My husband's burrito was fire. He used the red spicy salsa. My tacos were fire.

After a long week and zero desire to cook on a Friday night, I finally decided to give it a try. When I pulled up, the line was surprisingly short, which felt like a good sign. The order window is right out front, and the menu is simple and familiar: tacos, burritos, sopes, tortas, quesabirria. I ordered a little bit of almost everything: asada street tacos, a bean and cheese burrito, beans and rice, an asada mulita, an al pastor sope, and a quesabirria. Prices were reasonable, and I spent under $50 for the whole spread. Food came out in about 15 minutes and was packed neatly. The disappointment started once I got home. There was no salsa in the bags, which already put us at a disadvantage. Only then did I realize there's apparently a salsa bar inside along with a small seating area, something you don't see from the front order window. Had I known that, I would've grabbed what we needed before leaving. Then we opened the tacos and realized they came completely plain... no onion, no cilantro, nothing. Just tortillas and meat. Not exactly what I expected. Visually, everything else looked fine, so I was hoping the flavor would make up for it... but it didn't. Everything tasted bland, like the seasoning took the night off. The only thing I halfway enjoyed was the beans and rice, and my family felt the same way. Maybe my expectations were too high based on the crowds I always see, but everything tasted like tortillas, meat, and cheese... and not much else. I'll give them credit for fair pricing and quick service, but that's about it. I really wish the cashier had mentioned that the tacos come plain or pointed me toward the salsa setup. Overall, not the experience I expected, and not one I'd rush back for.

Flavor less water and a quesadilla with a hair in it.

Although their prices are high, $16 for a torta, it's usually worth it, because their portions are quite generous. Earlier today, I ordered a torta to go, and I ended up extremely disappointed when I got home. It had literally half the meat, half the beans, and half the cheese that it normally does. This was the first time I'd been disappointed with their food, but I decided to call and express my dissatisfaction. I was passed to the manager who handled the situation in the most unprofessional way. I explained the issue to him, and he insisted that my torta today had the same amount of meat, beans, and cheese as always. I disagreed with him, and he responded angrily, "Everybody makes mistakes!" He raised his voice and repeated it a couple of times. It was completely bizarre that he chose to speak to me as if I was the one who'd done something wrong. It's very childish to do a subpar job and then get upset and frustrated when you're called on it. An adult apologizes and pledges to not blow it again. Anyhow, I don't tolerate disrespectful people so I'm done. I won't spend another penny there.

We have been coming to La Costa for over 10 years. The food is very authentic and you can not go wrong with anything on the menu. I remember bringing friend to eat lunch and dinner here and one friend ordered the La Costa Fajitas with consisted of shrimp, chicken, carne asada and peppers and onions. Altogether its a delicious combination with all the juices penentrating the shrimp, chicken and carne. It is a big meal that includes a side of rice, beans and tortillas and he finished it all. He was back the next night with his wife ordering the same thing! I personally like the Tacos Mexicanos and the La Costa Fajitas when I'm ready for a big meal My wife loves the tostada de ceviche pescada and my kids love their menudo on Sundays. Lupe and her Husband along with the rest of the staff are very friendly. Its on the rougher side of town but after coming here for 10 years we have never had any problems and the food is always good. read more

NEVER COMING BACK WILL ALSO NEVER RECOMMEND AGAIN AND THE STORE THAT I MANAGED WILL NEVER BUY FROM HERE AGAIN. I unfortunately didn't take a picture of the receipt, but it was 3.99 for rice in each burrito. What makes it FUNNIER is that I asked for steak in of those burrito and they charged me 3.99!!!!! Steak was the SAME PRICE as RICE for F sake. 15/16$ for a CHORIZO burrito is diabolical. It literally has beans eggs and chorizo with cheese. thats it. I just asked for a bit of rice.

Also the burrito is the size of my hand and thats really upsetting because I know for a fact that as a man I have small hands. So this burrito is small. In conclusion.
