Went here for Cinco de Mayo... Theplace appeared clean, however the was food and service was horrible. The waitress couldn't read the word / didn't know how to pronounce jalapeño. She automatically gave us salad without salad dressing and fries with our quesadillas. Our cheese dip never came out, she had the nerve to tell us we still needed to pay for it because she couldn't take it off the check. The salad cucumber, taste like it was soaked or either store near chemicals. And after all that, she put an auto gratuity of 20%, check to add a the additional tip. This was the worst experience I've ever on cinco de Mayo!!! Save your money, Don't go here. read more

La Costilla Grill was our Saturday dinner date pick of the night. I ordered the steak fajitas with white flour tortillas and a strawberry lemon drop. The waiter was super nice and attentive the only thing was he could've spoken a little louder since the music was on the louder side. My friend ordered the fried snapper. He thought it lacked a bit of seasoning, but I tried it and thought it was fried nicely and tasted good. Overall, I'd rate La Costilla Grill a 4/5. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu! read more

Margarita missing more simple too acidic it hurt my tongue. No happy hour. They got rid of some menu items. Menu out of date. On yelp. No substitutes at all. Honestly el Jalisco or la parrilla are better right down the road read more

I came here for a celebratory business lunch and I would have given it 5 starts had it not been for the prices! I expect Americanized Mexican food to be a certain price point and this place exceeded that by quite a bit. There was no lunch menu so perhaps that was the reason. Most entrees were 19.99 or more and I would have liked to see a few more less expensive options. read more

I have been here for the first time and by entering I love the ambiance. Great Mexican food and drinks. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I ordered the Chicken fajitas which are an easy and flavorful weeknight meal. A classic Mexican recipe, juicy chicken is seasoned, seared and cooked to perfection, then tossed with sauteed bell peppers and onions. A squeeze of fresh lime adds a punch of flavor and the chicken fajitas are served with warm tortillas and toppings. I also got extra tortillas for no extra cost. Had the Mango Margarita. Mango, lime juice, tequila, and Cointreau are the ingredients. The chips were homemade along with the salsa with a spicy kick. La Costilla Grill brings Authentic Mexican food to McDonough, GA. First location was opened in Atlanta in 2013, 2nd location in the hispanic mall Plaza Fiesta. Now owners bring the authentic flavor and the cooked to perfection outside skirt parrilladas to McDonough Georgia which represents the cuisine's proverbial from Northern Mexico. They also have a bar as well separate from the other area and a decent sized eating area. They have outdoor seating, good for watching sports and they have kids menu too.

I'm from Chicago! I am down here for job training and wanted some Mexican food. I've came across this location (which it's near my hotel) and honestly I will not return... Food: Fried rolled taco meal w/ refried beans, side of guacamole and chips I've tried to get el pastor tacos but was told they don't sell that type of pork. Pros: The staff is polite and great customer service The cost is fair Cons: Tacos was soft and not fried Guacamole was good but very stiff like it was frozen Refried beans was very soupy and not so appealing Which I didn't eat it They give you the whole meal in separate containers Overall: I haven't tried the other meals, that one meal was not worth of me giving them a second try. read more

My Sweetie wanted to take me here for Taco Tuesday( because I absolutely LOVE LOVE TACOS). The place was pretty cool. Nice vibe with a good ambiance and the DJ was playing some good music. He ordered Shrimp Empanadas as appetizer but he didn't receive them until after we finished our food due to the kitchen losing the ticket to make it so that was a bomber. We both had the Taco Trio which was good. The drinks were a little pricey so we got the House Margarita and it was refreshing. I would definitely like to try a few other menu items so we'll return. read more

Just keep on driving by this place. We have tried this spot two times in the past few months. The first time was mid. The second was just terrible. The drinks have so much sweet syrup and little alcohol. I'm a one drink girl any I was even disappointed both times. The food is terrible. Both times, I ordered tacos. The menu is super weird and has too much American food like a slab of ribs and hot wings. I always get the taco trio and try three different ones. The only fresh meat you'll get is shrimp. The pork was dry and from last week. The beef didn't taste like beef..it was dry too. Please go to any other Mexican spot but this one. Our waitress was terrible too. We saw her only once when she took our order. We had to ask for the check which should have been free because they took our full plates and glasses. read more

La Costilla Grill - Dry pork tacos - Mexican Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

Super sweet server. Kind of quiet for a Friday night not a lot of people here, not sure if it's because it's new or just unknown. Tried thetaco El Pastor, the steak taco, and the grilled shrimp tacos, and they were all fabulous. The rice was so so. The queso was good. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place. Prices are a little on the higher side, but I think the quality is worth it. read more

One of my favorite spaces the food is consistently delicious and the pinto bean soup is amazing. The service is always quick and the ambiance is that of your typical Mexican restaurant. It is very authentic read more

The customer service / waitress WENDY and host was awesome the manager was very apologetic and very nice about this horrible experience! It's the back of THE HOUSE that must don't comprehend well & The mojito that the bartender made was full of syrup ask her how did she make it she gave incorrect ingredients and that's why I didn't taste the mint or the rum THATS THE PURPOSE OF A MOJITO they made the quesadilla twice THE FIRST time the the onions was raw the meat was undercooked nd forgot the bell peppers ! The second time Wendy ask them to remake it and make it well done with the bell peppers and THE SECOND time they quesadilla came out with 4 5 pieces of meant and a boat load of mushrooms and 2 pieces of bell peppers the amount of mushrooms was outrages to me that had the whole quesadilla unflavored and again with 4 pieces of meat .. Long story short the bartender don't know how to make drinks and the cooks in the back just don't care ! Again the front of the house including the manager was all very nice ,listened and was very apologetic! But yall ask them who's cooking or get a young newly experienced person to make the drink the correct way ... I'll just stick to the city La pillars from here on out .. My daughter Torta was the fried SAND-WHICH WAS decent but kinda cold but I won't know the flavor on that ! I think this was too early maybe.. read more

We came in on a Saturday and shockingly seen it was pretty empty. We sat quickly and service was prompt. The menu had a lot to offer but the prices is pretty steep so it all added up quick. Chips and salsa on the table was good. Food was good very seasoned got a sangria and it was warm . Corn was good didn't get to finish it and mayo wasn't heavy on it. Space was big enough for larger groups and I'm sure during summer you get a bigger crowd. read more

Certainly worth stopping in if you're local or visiting however I would not make a special trip. Excellent service and hostess- beautiful decor and very clean environment. Plenty of space for events or large group outings. The patio is the best- naturally shaded closer to the entry and fans are centrally placed throughout. I had 3 corn tacos- Fried Shrimp, Steak & Fried Fish - loved the Shrimp(plump, juicy and perfectly fried) the Steak was a little dry but I poured the salsa from the nachos over it and it hit the stop. Good sized portions, fresh and quickly prepared. read more

This place is very overpriced for extremely mediocre food. The so-called steak sure seemed like ground beef. I had to flag someone down to ask for the missing guacamole that was supposed to come with my taco salad. The worst part, however, was that no paper bill was presented for review prior to payment. Instead, the waitress came around with the payment device that showed only my salad and a total amount that exceeded the item and 8% tax. When I asked the waitress if a tip had already been added on (I was with a large party), I was told no, so I added a tip. My $16 salad ended up costing $23.82. That's an additional $3 over the salad, tax, and a 20% tip should have been. The waitress did a good job, but was relatively new and did not seem to be aware that a tip had already been added onto the bill. I asked for a printed copy of the receipt, which I never received. The waitress said that someone would come talk to me, but no one ever did. I will never go back to that restaurant. Management appears not to adequately train their staff on policy, causing the staff to deceive customers. read more

La Costilla Grill compared to other Mexican eateries in the area really doen't stand out. It's just another typical chip serving Mexican restaurant. I was hoping for a good steak burrito dish but I was served a burrito that looked like it drowned in cheese sauce. The burrito was filled with everything other than steak only a couple of small pieces of meat and the rest was fillers. La Costilla Grill could really use some meat on her bones! read more

Snuck In Here For Lunch... Seems New... Great Atmosphere With Outdoor Dining and Appears To Be Very Clean... Got "The Governor's Tacos" Very Good and A Bit Different.. Salsa Was Fresh And Amazing... Rice Was Spot On... Service Was Great... Will Return... read more

First, I'm originally from San Diego, born and raised. With that said, I understand that food is regional, and I will probably never find anything in GA comparable in taste to San Diegan Mexican food. The staff here is friendly, thanks Hakeem! The music was great! The complimentary chips (served warm) and salsa (mild) were fresh. We were off to a great start! I ordered a Margarita and three tacos, grilled fish, fried fish, and steak. The tacos were good, although I would've preferred corn tortillas instead of flour (next time). I asked for a spicier salsa and was given an avocado crema, which had the right amount of heat. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I will definitely return! read more

Nice people and attentive service. Ordered house Margherita on the rocks. It was undrinkably sweet, with no citrus flavor, rimmed with table salt. Chips and salsa were fine. Chicken fajitas came out very quickly which may explain why the peppers and onions were undercooked. Bill came and 25% gratuity was automatically added. Not cool. Loud music made it hard to talk. Won't be back. read more

Not anything to brag about for the 1$ taco which chicken and beef are the specials all other tacos start @ 2.50 don't have to speak for the 1$ shots more like 50cent shots. Many empty tables still had a 45min wait to be seated since it was their busy Tuesday. We was seated and waited at least 25mins for a server. Nothing to brag about! read more

I went to La Costilla Grill on Tuesday for happy hour. I like the atmosphere, it's open space to outdoor dining is an experience. The happy hour serves $1.00 shredded tacos(3 choices of meat), $1.00 tequila shots, and $2.99 frozen margaritas which were surprisingly giving the buzz I was looking for. I sat at the bar, and just enjoyed the atmosphere which was around 2 - 4 pm that Tuesday. read more

La Costilla Grill - Shrimp, steak, and there was a fish taco... - Mexican Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

This Mexican spot is always a hit. The drinks are delicious and they aren't stingy with the "licka" either! I always enjoy myself whether I'm with a large group, a date, or rolling solo! The food is fresh and well prepared.... I really like it and highly recommend. read more

Everything was pretty good. They serve you complimentary chips and salsa and the salsa is really good. We also ordered a side of queso dip with chorizo (not pictured) and the cup was a decent portion. The fajita norteña has a good flavor. Steak was a little chewy, chicken was nice and soft, and shrimp was good. It's enough to feed 2 people to make about 6 tacos if you want. The frijoles were really tasty. The fish tacos are worth it for the grilled fish, not so much the fried fish. It comes with a little yummy mango puree side sauce. The fried fish was really skinny and not too flavorful so I wouldn't recommend. The grilled fish taco was really tasty with the mango sauce so be sure to eat it when it's hot and fresh! Asada and chicken tacos were good for the price and flavor. Both meats were tender and soft! Parillada steak (medium well) was GREAT. It was well seasoned, juicy, and not chewy. Onions were cooked to perfection. The sausage and frijoles charros were okay. We also got the guacamole salsa and that was great. The music is entertaining but really loud, so if you're hard of hearing keep that in mind because we couldn't really hear our server since he was so soft spoken. The server was attentive and gave us refills and napkins quickly. The server accidentally gave one of us two of the wrong tacos at first but thankfully he gave us the right ones and didn't charge us or take away the wrong ones. read more

Stopped by on Sunday for a late lunch. First time experience. I was seated immediately and greeted by my server Luci L. She was very nice and patient explaining the different Margaritas they had to offer. I order a regular margarita & a shot of tequila. Luci asked if I would like some guacamole. Of course I said yes however didn't ask the cost. The guacamole was very bland. The meal I ordered was fried salmon tacos & 1 grilled shrimp taco. My tacos were delicious. When I got my bill I almost passed out. To my surprise the guacamole was $10.95. I won't agree to that item again. I would definitely return for tacos. read more
