I was also confused first about how to order as I saw no one on the counter. But some people were ordering through kiosk ,so followed them through observation. Food was definitely worth the wait though. The tacos I ordered were amazing , it hit the right spot every bite. My husband ordered combo bowl , it was great as well.

La Costa Taqueria is a fantastic place for taco lovers! The moment you walk by, you're greeted by the delicious smell of fresh tacos. The atmosphere is casual and is perfect for enjoying a quick and tasty meal with friends or family. Their tacos are the highlight! They have a variety of mouthwatering fillings like carne asada, al pastor, and grilled chicken. Each taco is made with care, and the fresh toppings make them even better. They also offer other yummy Mexican dishes like burritos and quesadillas. And the best part is, the prices are very reasonable, so you get a lot of great food for your money. If you want authentic and delicious tacos, La Costa Taqueria is the place to go. With its inviting atmosphere, tasty menu, and great service, it's a taco lover's dream come true. I can't wait to go back for more! read more

Ahh La Costa! I have been meaning to write this review for a long time! Where to start... Everything on this menu is superb. I usually stick to the Carne Asada or Pollo dishes which, whether in tacos or burritos, are delicious. The prices are fair, though a little higher than i once remember. No doubt that damn McDonald has something to do with it. La Costa has a great location and I'm jealous of all the school kids that have this restaurant right next to them. Try the Carne Asada BURRITO! Muy Bien Add sour cream and avocado for a small charge and you wont be let down! read more

Wait time for a to-go order of two burritos and a taco was longer than expected. Was looking forward to that first bite to taste if things had changed. For the most part it was still tasty and close to the food back then. Beans were light. Tortilla was fresh. Breakfast burrito was average with eggs, potatoes, bell pepper, beans, bacon and ham. It was light on cheese. Then came the shock of opening the container with my crunchy taco. I couldn't help but me disappointed. It was not even worth serving.
