Arrived at around 3:30 on Mother's Day. The place was packed which wasn't surprising since their food is very good. I requested to be put on the list for a table for two. I was told it was at least one hour and 45 minute to two hours wait. Another group came in asking for a table for 4. They were told it would be about an hour. We left. I'm not sure why a group of 4 was being given only an hour wait, but I left with the suspicion that it was due to my primary language of English. I don't think I will be returning because of my perception of the treatment I received. That makes me sad because as I said previously, the food is great. read more

Mariscos Costa Alegre - Mexican Near Me - Gilroy, California

I had a very concerning experience here. While drinking my beverage, I discovered a glass shard in the drink. I had already taken a sip and felt it on my tongue before immediately spitting it out. I notified staff right away. They removed the glass and replaced the drink, but there was no incident report, explanation, or real follow-up. Finding glass in a drink is a serious safety issue, and it was handled very casually. Thankfully I wasn't injured, but this should never happen. I'm sharing this so others are aware and so the restaurant takes drink safety more seriously. read more

Wanted to try this new place just to get food born illness... . We usually go to the one in San Jose on Alum Rock . Ambiance way different from the other ones . Decoration etc different as well . Very attentive from the start with the waiter except when she forgot my drink twice and she didn't check if we needed anything else . I was expecting same quality of food as where we usually go to but since the first try of the caldito they give it tasted different . We order empanadas as appetizer , which tasted like the cheese was gone bad but my partner said he didn't taste like it . As a meal we got tacos presidenciales (sauce tasted bland tortilla was cold, camarones were chewy), platillo doña cuca (they were Luke warm and less spicy than usual) , kids quesadilla (which was burnt and just a bit of cheese ,) kids me and cheese (my kid like it ) and pasta Alfredo shrimp (had more veggies than pasta and shrimp which was also chewy like rubbery, it had tone of oil , or butter maybe but definitely was super oily that my daughter couldn't eat it ) . It ll had different flavor from the first bite . That was the last meal we had and fast forward all night was horrible with the illness . I'll definitely just stick to Alum rock or 13th st . read more

For someone who literally drove all the way to San Jose just to eat at that location, I was thrilled when I heard they were opening one locally! I am obsessed with the food! My husband and I go at least once a week -- we LOVE it and highly recommend it. I've recommended it to my friends in Gilroy and every single one of them has come back saying they loved it and will definitely return! As for those who say the music is too loud or distracting, I suggest going on a weekday or earlier in the day. Weekends are meant to celebrate -- enjoy the vibe! read more

Five Stars! First time here -- and I was impressed right from the start. There's plenty of parking, and as soon as we stepped out of the car, the place smelled amazing -- great first impression! It was packed, and the energy was electric (I'm old and don't usually say "vibe," but it was definitely vibing!). The music was fantastic and loud, the lighting added to the excitement, and overall, it just felt like a fun place to be. The menu leans heavily toward seafood, and everything looked incredible. I'll absolutely be coming back to try more! read more

Everything was great from the start. The hostess was very friendly, and our server (Jonathan) was super nice and very knowledgeable about all the dishes and drinks. I even got to hear mariachi music, as they have live mariachi every Friday and Sunday. The food arrived quickly and was of excellent quality. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend it! Todo muy bien desde el principio, la host muy amable, nuestro mesero (jonathan) super amable, sabe muy bien de todos los platillos y bebidas. me toco escuchar mariachi ya que cada viernes y domingo tienen mariachi en vivo. la comida no tardo para nada y super buena calidad definitivamente volveremos lo recomiendo read more

Mariscos Costa Alegre - Sushi al pastor, camarones a la crema, kids cheesburger and kids camarones empanizados - Mexican Near Me - Gilroy, California

It's been a while since I was last excited about going out to eat. But I was thoroughly impressed by this restaurant tonight! (Shout out to Jonathan, our super knowledgeable waiter, for his informative recommendations!) I have no problem with mariscos in general, having used to getting street tacos version from LA taqueria and used to midwest Texmex in general. In short, I have had quite a bit iteration of mariscos around the US. However, this restaurant blew my mind. We had their filete rellenos, tacos, and their sushi, pura vida. Filete rellenos came with Jonathan's recommendation of green rice, salad, and mac and cheese. And oh my heaven was a meal that was. The green rice had a nice garlic and cilantro flavor to it, enough to taste but not overwhelming. The mac and cheese was nice and had bits of ham and pineapple mixed with it. The salad was not the usual pile of lettuce salad, they used mixed greens, topped with raisins, strawberries, croutons, cherry tomatoes with creamy balsamic dressing. Each component of the side dishes feels meticulously created with surprise touched. They could easily be their own dishes. The star of the show, of course, is the steamed bass (huge filet!), octopus and shrimp itself. They are all very tender and delicious (including the octopus!). It was so delicious that even my picky eater partook in demolishing the fish! I didn't get my order of fish tacos, they brought me shrimp tacos instead. However, I had no complaints. The taco shell is thick but not doughy, the shrimp was crispy yet not greasy, and it's loaded with toppings (pico de gallo, cabbage, mozzarella, and chipotle mayo). I didn't even bother asking where my fish tacos were! Lastly the sushi. Jonathan recommended pura vida. He was right. This was the first time I ever tried sushi outside of common sushi places (aka. Japanese restaurants/grocery stores). It didn't disappoint. The ratio between the filling and the rice was just right. The amount of cream cheese and veggies were also just right. It was great as is that we didn't bother to add more sauce to it. Everything about this restaurant felt like elevated street food. I really appreciated the finishing touches for every component of the food. It is very rare that restaurants put a lot of thought into side dishes, but this restaurant did (down to the use of pineapple chunks to complement a seafood platter!). Perfection! We also tried their cucumber agua fresca and it didn't disappoint. Jonathan also gave us a complementary sampling of a soup called Zombie. It was divine (and we will order the soup when we come back here later!). From decor to intermittent birthday shout out, the ambiance of this restaurant is just right. Definitely a must try! read more

Food and drinks are great and ambiance also. Our waiter Yolanda is very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place

we were sat fairly quickly even with it being noon and busy. we were asked if we would like an drinks, we just ordered water. Then we ordered our food and appetizer. All food came out at a decent time however we never received our waters. Once our food was here we were kind of forgotten. Waited 25+ minutes for our check. It seems like if you don't order alcohol beverages you'll have to fend for yourself. The tables around us, with parties being there before us and coming in after us. They had ordered alcoholic drinks, multiple servers touched base, grabbed more drinks and to go boxes for those tables. However we still were not spoke to or serviced. The atmosphere of the restaurant was good. Music was playing, it was clean and decorated beautifully. However there was flies flying around us and scattering around the windows. read more
