Ate on lunch it was fast staff was friendly, been a long standing. Restaurant in the area think I read 20 or 25 years. Salsa was more tomato base and plain to me but I do like my salsa with a kick (not hot) but folks may like to more basic salsa. The one they bring in a bowl was better to me. read more

Stopped by for the first time today. Food was delicious, arrived quickly, and our server was great! The restaurant was clean and offered a nice, relaxing atmosphere. The only issue (not really even an issue, as the food was so good) was with the chili relleno - instead of being stuffed with cheese, breaded and fried, it was a tiny, lonely little piece of poblano pepper that was covered in shredded cheese. We will definitely go back! read more

Lacosta Mexican Restaurant - Cheese enchilada, and their version of chili relleno. - Mexican Near Me - Sylacauga, Alabama

My grandkids come down on the weekends, and they always want to come here. I really like their shrimp ceviche, and their fajitas and Carnitas are also good. Servers are friendly, although lately there's one gentleman who struggles with English, and on one visit I had to flag someone else down to bring me my check because he was nowhere around. Other than that, I have been very happy with the food and service here. read more

The avocado I had tasted old and took 10 minutes just to get some more Chips. The people and place feels very friendly and welcoming. All in all the place is fine but for 3 people it costed 52 bucks. Cheese dip was good tho. read more

Absolutely delicious. We came to town from New York City and were totally blown away by how terrific the food and drinks were. read more

Lacosta Mexican Restaurant - two tacos on a plate - Mexican Near Me - Sylacauga, Alabama

A friend of a friend recommended this place saying that it was by far her favorite in the area... well... I read the reviews and went against my better judgement. All the other negative reviews said that the service was good but the food was just ok... they were almost right! I'll start by saying that I really did want to give it a good review ! I tried real hard. It I just can't do it, not in good Conscience anyway, and since I want folks to read and trust my reviews, I needed to be honest. The service was just ok. A friend and I arrived to later than our friends and some were already eating when we got there. No biggie! The server came over and took our drink orders. He was very friendly and helpful with my menu choice since there were a couple of changes that I needed to make. He was perfect! However, we asked for cheese dip and it never came. Our food came in a timely manner which is why I give them two stars, and the fact that our server was nice. I expected a decent amount of food with great flavor. I usually order the same thing at Mexican restaurants in my area, and they always come COVERED in cheese, with beans and rice on the side. I'm sure it's my fault for not reading every detail on the menu but at other places when you pay $8.95 for a shredded chicken burrito type meal... anyway, the food wasn't wha I'd expected it to be.. I've actually fixed better in my own kitchen. They beat part was being with my lady friends and our server, even though I still haven't gotten my cheese dip. My beat advice is to read all the reviews and decide for yourself. I won't go back. Happy eating, my hungry friends!! read more

Had a great time there with my girls, we sat at the bar and ordered the tacos and margs. Staff was friendly and everything was clean!

The staff here are probably the friendliest in town. The place is clean and well-kept. There's enough room to have ten parties going on at once! However, the food is not "Wow, that was great!" in my book. I always give restaurants the benefit of the doubt (unless I've been really turned off by something.) The second visit I took, I felt the same. When you've had awesome Mexican food that tastes authentic, you become a loyal customer to that place. This restaurant just isn't that place. (Disclaimer: I loathe giving nothing but four or five stars. I'm a big sucker sometimes.) =) read more

I've given this place a few tries, and each time the service is freaking terrible. Worst customer service IN Talladega county. The food is mediocre. Salsa is made with ketchup(I've been told from a source who worked here before) smh. The drinks are OK, but seriously it's the customer service that has permanently pushed me away from this place. Every time I've been, me and the clients I bring have been treated like absolute crap, for no reason, and we are friendly people who tip great! I will never be back and will be sure to never bring business clients here and never recommend this place, unless it's to recommend NEVER going and staying far away. I have nightmare stories from this place. Plus the bathrooms are disgusting with urine and feces everywhere, even all over the baby changing table smh! Ugh. Disgusting. read more

Wow. I am not really sure what is prompting high reviews here. I like to find positive in everything, so for that I will say that the staff was nice and friendly. I came for dinner. I ordered the three beef tacos and it was served with rice and beans. Additionally, I ordered guacamole. The beans and rice were completely without flavor. Ughh. So was the guacamole. The tacos had a hint of something resembling flavor because of the cilantro but that's it. If this is 'the' go to place then...wow...I can't imagine other places to eat in this town. I don't know. Maybe it was just the entree I happened to pick. read more

Good service, mediocre cheese dip which is necessary for any good Mexican restaurant hahah. Overall the food was pretty dank brah. Good last minute or first decision. read more

Lacosta Mexican Restaurant - a plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Sylacauga, Alabama

I admit, not quite as good as others (El Paso) but decent food. Their lunch buffet is quite popular, and it does have a fair amount to chose from. For lunch, not too bad. But for dinner, I'd rather indulge elsewhere. read more

Being raised in Sylacauga, this was my go to place! 9 days a week, 32 hours a day. That's right. I still go everytime I visit. Most of the same waiters since their opening over a decade ago, which know me by 1st name basis and what I usually want. Lunch buffet is the best anywhere around and completely worth the price. If there for dinner Pollo Fundido is where its at. Grilled chicken with a spicy cheese sauce, rice and guacamole salad. The plates are always full and they never skimp on them. I spent many nights in here drinking down there cheap Miller Lite on happy hours. Love the small town, family feel and so glad they are still thriving and doing well. Cheers! read more

Lacosta Mexican Restaurant - Sometimes you need some cold beer for day drinking adventures. - Mexican Near Me - Sylacauga, Alabama

Small town restaurants are always a crap shoot. Small town ethnic restaurants even more so. We were pleasantly surprised by Lacosta. They have typical gringo mex and tex mex favorites as well as a few traditional Mexican favorites tossed in the mix. I had the tacos carnitas and they were some of the best I've ever had. There was the perfect blend of fat and meat. They were spot on. The salsa was meh and the service was slow but I'd absolutely eat there again when in the area. read more

This is a popular restaraunt in downtown Sylacauga. I don't know why though. There are 3 other Mexican restaraunts nearby with FAR better quality and taste. I've eaten here several times over the years with people and have never been satisfied, always vying to never eat there again. Save your money and your taste buds and go to El Paso or Las Poblanas. read more

Stop in for lunch buffet. Convenient but there are better places. The staff is great and are very attentive. The food is just not that great. They serve dinner all week. read more

Never had a bad experience here. Food is always good and fresh! Drinks are awesome and made the right way. They have great hospitality

This place is excellent!! I'd never had real Mexican food before so I was excited about going here. It was probably the best meal that I've ever had. I will be going back again soon! read more

My favorite mexican place in my home town love the staff! Excellent food at a great price!

Ate here twice so far. Both times were awesome. Ate something called the burrito Magno. It was a very generous portion for the price. The interior design of the building could use updating, besides that, great food,and great people. read more

Food was okay, very bland. Waiter had to be flagged down for refills on drinks and to go box. Reasonably prices, not too expensive.

A hidden gym tucked away in Sylacauga, this is some of the best Mexican food I've had north of the border. Definitely worth a detour if you're anywhere in the area and want amazing food and drinks!! read more

The burrito supreme I ordered was anything but supreme. The beef had a stranger texture and was flavorless. It was covered in a milky "cheese sauce". The salsa was thin and flavorless, as well. read more

Probably one of the best Mexican places I've been to. Good food, good prices, so I'm surprised that it has bad reviews
