They also have a full bar, which is always a plus! We started with a Modelo and a Lagunitas IPA, both on draft, along with a Cadillac Margarita. They bring out complimentary chips, salsa, and bean dip, and everything was delicious. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Nancy, who was both our waitress and bartender. She was amazing! Our chips were getting low and before we even had to ask, she noticed and immediately brought us a fresh basket along with more salsa and bean dip. That kind of attentive service makes such a difference! For our meal, we ordered the Chile Verde lunch special, which was a really good size and very satisfying, plus two à la carte tacos. Everything hit the spot! Between the great atmosphere, drinks, food, and especially the friendly service, we had such a good experience. We're already planning our next visit!

The manager (I think) was especially attentive. She was checking in on everyone and even offering complimentary beverages for the long wait, which was a really nice touch.

It has a great vibe that makes you want to hang out and enjoy your food. The quesabirria is really good, and honestly I come back just for their birria at times. It's flavorful and hits the spot every time. I also tried their super burrito and that was super good too, definitely recommend! I did try the street taco and the crunchy steak taco, and those weren't really my favorite. Overall, this is my go-to place when I want to switch things up and don't really know what I'm craving. Definitely worth checking out!

I ordered the super burrito chicken. The owners are really nice but they were very helpful with what's their most popular item and they even gave me four different salsas to try. I really enjoyed the inside tables were really nice very Mexican and peaceful. If you're looking for a good Mexican spot you should stop by and try it.

Very Disappointing…read more My wife and I are new to Oakley and were looking forward to trying some Mexican food for lunch today. After reading all the great reviews about this place, we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. My wife ordered a wet burrito, and I ordered a carne asada burrito. First, the bag was completely saturated with sauce from my wife's burrito. By the time we got home, I had to throw the bag away because it was such a mess. Unfortunately, both burritos had very dry steak. We also waited almost 30 minutes for our food, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. That probably should have been our first red flag. We also ordered chips and salsa, only to be told that they had already run out by 11:30 a.m. The one positive thing I can say is that the gentleman at the register was very nice and courteous. Unfortunately, that was about the only positive experience we had. I would strongly suggest working on the quality and preparation of the meat and paying more attention to how takeout orders are packaged so the food arrives in good condition. For us, unfortunately, it's a NO -- we definitely won't be returning.

I came by with some family on Sunday after a long morning, and we wanted to try this new joint out…read more As expected, brunch and lunch time was packed, so there was a little bit of a wait. The environment looked really nice, and they definitely went all out with the decor. I really enjoyed the look and atmosphere of the place. I could tell the servers and hosts were a bit overwhelmed because it was extremely busy, and I completely understand. After we ordered, they were kind enough to bring out our beverages: water, juice, and coffee. However, this was where we ended up waiting quite a while for our meals. We ordered a few platters along with nachos, and I honestly feel like the nachos could have been brought out first since they're a quick appetizer that the table could enjoy while waiting for the main dishes. Once our meals finally arrived, I was excited because this was my first meal of the day. Unfortunately, when I took my first bite of the carne asada, I was pretty disappointed. The meat was extremely bland. The best part of my plate was probably the frijoles. I was hoping the salsa provided at the table would help add some flavor, but unfortunately, both salsas tasted very diluted. I know some water is normally used when making salsa, but I felt like the ratio was off and it didn't have enough flavor or spice to balance out the meat. I still devoured my entire plate because I was starving, but my family members had similar thoughts. They also felt that their proteins were a bit bland and agreed that the salsa could have used more flavor. There is definitely room for improvement, but I appreciate the service and understand that they were dealing with a very busy Sunday. Hopefully, with some adjustments to the seasoning and salsas, the food can match the great atmosphere and hospitality.

La Costa is definitely an Oakley gem! I know some people may disagree, but it's been around since I…read morewas a kid, and there's something to be said about a place that has stayed consistent for so many years. It's definitely more of a fast-food-style Mexican restaurant, but we always know what to expect. The food is consistently good, and the burritos and seafood are our family favorites. The staff is always friendly, and the prices are reasonable, we always leave satisfied. The atmosphere can get a little loud inside, so when the weather is nice, we prefer sitting outside. My least favorite part is the salsa bar, but that's more of a personal preference. I have a hard time enjoying the salsa, peppers, and radishes knowing they're self-serve and so many people have been around them. Overall, La Costa is a longtime Oakley staple for our family. Good prices, consistent food, friendly service, and a place we continue coming back to.

I ordered the California burrito, and unfortunately, it lacked flavor. It was supposed to come with cheese, but mine didn't have any, and the guacamole was pretty bland. We also tried the pastor, and it wasn't what I expected. It was very saucy and didn't taste like traditional pastor at all. It actually looked and tasted more like barbacoa. My husband had the fish burrito and was happy with his, so that was a plus. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but based on what we tried, I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back.

I already knew they make some of the best horchata, but this visit really impressed me with the food. This time, we ordered the Super Nachos and the Wet Burrito with chile verde sauce, and both were absolutely delicious. The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, and all of the ingredients blended together really well. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The Super Nachos were especially impressive. Even the chips were homemade, which made a big difference in the overall taste and texture. The portions were also huge, so you definitely get plenty of food for your money. We were very satisfied with our meal and had enough to enjoy later as well. Between the great portions, flavorful food, tender meat, homemade chips, and amazing horchata, this visit completely changed my opinion of the place. I'm glad I came back and gave it another try. Definitely upgrading my review to 5 stars -- highly recommended!

First time was a food pickup, yesterday we came to dine-in & the server was a younger man that DID greet us- HE said he was going to clean a table, then proceeded to serve the other customers. We sat there waiting & watched another family come in and immediately get seated by another waiter. I'm not gonna sit there and beg for a table dude. We literally walked out and probably won't be back in the future. You guys need to understand that this is the best way to lose a customer for life, I will literally not come back here out of spite because that s**t is embarrassing. If it happened once, oh well. But twice? No thanks.

The plate itself was scorching hot--I couldn't even pick it up. It honestly felt like the burrito had been microwaved for too long. I ordered the Chile Verde wet burrito and had a similar experience. The plate was extremely hot, the pork was very tough and seemed undercooked for a dish that should be tender, and nearly half of the meat was fat. I also found multiple bay leaves mixed into the burrito. The chips were so heavily salted that they were practically inedible. I actually had to rub some of the salt off before eating them. This was our second visit, and unfortunately, it will probably be our last. Our waitress was very friendly and provided good service, but for the prices they charge, I would rather eat at places like Tu Jalisco or La Costa in Oakley, Guadalajara Taqueria, Taqueria Salsa, or Las Fodongas in Antioch.

(4 guests) We ordered, a breakfast plate, two lunch taco plates, and my wife ordered 4 flutas ala carte. We also ordered 2 coffees, 2 sodas and a Flan. Total bill $106.00 + 10% Tip. Servers were nice, brought out drinks out, with chips and salsa. 15 minutes later the breakfast plate was delivered. I had to ask for silverware, as there wasn't any on the table. 10 minutes later both taco plates were delivered, asked for silverware again. Server asked if there was anything else. Wife asked about her flutas? There was a bit of a scramble and then it appeared that they put the flutas order in. Everyone finished their food, and the Flan was brought out. Flutas finally arrived, wife was not happy. Asked for a togo box and we left. When asked what happened, she had nothing to say and dropped off 2 $5 off passes for our next visit. That's it, nothing more. Hope this helps management/ownership make some useful changes or at least gives them some valuable information.
