I will now be tipping zero dollars from now on. This is super discrimination . Don't pick and choose. Include chips or don't. One lady always gives them to me.

Wow, what a good local restaurant. Very friendly, efficient service and I cannot say enough about…read morehow delicious the food was. My daughter loved her blended margarita, and we both enjoyed our dinners. I had a chicken enchilada verde that was beautifully seasoned.

Since my earlier negative review in April of 2025, my wife and I have been back to La Costa three…read moretimes (we really did enjoy the food but wanted to see if the Service had changed, or not). These last three visits were trial visits. I am happy to say that we did not experience the same behavior as we did in 2025. The food was good and the service was outstanding as it had been before April 2025. So, I am updating my review to 4-stars. I do think many of the chairs need to be replaced or repaired. Some are very wobbly and feel unsafe to sit in.

I can remember watching the old "Happy Day" show and thinking how crazy to have burger shops with…read moreoutdoor service and all. Then to be able and take a nice drive through to Emmett and actually have a pull up and order place to eat. Yup, with good music playing. The menu is what you would expect, burgers, hot dogs fries and rings. Some other food choices as well but the shakes, good! A double deluxe burger with curly fries and sauce are a go to for me. Onion rings and a shake, good. They do have chicken strips, couple sandwich and Mexican food options. But the burgers and fries are the best. Sit outside at the small eating area and watch the flow of traffic catch you digging in to some good food. My family likes it and the grandkids devoured the food just to grab a frozen yogurt. Yup, a good go to for a quick bite.

Chicken salad sammich was yummy! Everyone else was ordering home made soup and I would have gotten that but I can be a klutz so hot liquid in an automobile didn't seem like a smart option!

Food was good potions were generous. I had street tacos and loved them. In general I base a lot of…read moremy feeling about Mexican food on the quality of the refried beans. If it's to thick or has not flavor I won't like the rest of the food. Their beans are delicious. Not just boring beans. Flavorful d a nice texture. Not to thin but no runny either. And all of the food was as well balance. I will goo there a lot I'm sure.

Dropped in for a quick lunch, which turned out not to be quick. Obviously a popular spot and 5…read morepeople were in front of me. Not much standing or waiting room and the dining area is very small, so there were no seats. It took 15 minutes to order and another 15 to get me food. So not a quick lunch. Of course, have to start off with the street tacos. For $3.75 a pop, I was hoping for a little better to be honest. Al pastor and Carne Asada meats were both tough and chewy. The best one was the marinated chicken. Good, but not great. There are some other items I might try to round out a fuller opinion, but street tacos are my baseline for assessing how they manage the fundamentals.

Walked in and there was a pretty good line waiting for food. They have it all right there in the…read moreother side of the glass window so you can see what they are doing. Nice big screen to see what they offer on the menu. During the week days they have taco, burrito and bowl specials. They have a large seating area after you order. If you have take out to wait for your food at counter. If you have dine in they will bring to your table. Not too sure about cross contamination due to the food being set up like chipotle and subway. So I guess there is some with the toppings. The one o would be worried about is seafood allergy. I was not able to get a picture but you might want to make sure they done fry fish and shrimp in the same basket as fries and taquitos. Co-worker ordered nachos and one got enchiladas. Both of them had elements that were microwaved to make warm. The nachos were microwaved to melt the cheese and the enchiladas the green sauce was placed in a plastic bowl microwaved then poured over enchiladas. I don't like when places have to use microwaves but they have 3 of them I say. I had the taquitos. I must admit, the flavor was good. Fried just right. Not a fan of green salsa so an option would have been nice. They only brought green out with my dinner.

You can order at the front or sit for service, you pay at the counter no matter what option you pick. It's no frills but excellent Mexican food, a clean bathroom and friendly service!

The woman at the counter said she could make a carne asada burrito. The carne asada was minced so fine it had no texture and it tasted bad.

Pick someplace they make what you order and use fresh food.

This is a favorite local place for Mexican street food-style fare. You see a lot of…read moreSpanish-speaking folk in here dining, which is always a good sign for authenticity, but at the same time I know that turns some of the locals off because the style is slightly different than the Americanized version of this same food they are used to eating. It's their loss I say because we love this place. Value for the money is pretty outstanding, but some folks say they've been downsizing the portions lately, so I'll have to check that out for myself. The atmosphere is very much the utilitarian, hole-in-the-wall style eatery, but it's always consistent and delicious and their long hours make it a favorite of the post-bar crawl crowd who know it's here. That being said, given its location, if you didn't go looking for this place, you would probably never find it, since it's a little off the beaten tracks (literally) near where the railroad crosses by some of Caldwell's industrial businesses. The format as one could guess is fast-casual, so definitely a destination you go to more for the food than the dining atmosphere. That being said, they keep the place clean and in good shape, but some of the chairs are a little uncomfortable.

My wife and I came here for the first time today, after I read the reviews. We live in Star, and…read morethis restaurant is only about 10 minutes from our home. Located right on 44, it seems to have plenty of parking in the back and a few parking spots in the front. It is a free-standing building, nice enough curb appeal, and inside the seating is ample, with a combination of booths and tables. There is a drive-thru with an awkward set up. The pick-up window is located out in the seating area, so that the staff have to walk across the restaurant to deliver the food to the people ordering. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Both the female and the male employees were very nice. My wife ordered the carnitas plate and I ordered the Shrimp a la Diabla. My wife thought her carnitas were a little crispy, as in over-cooked, but she did say that the meat was not dried out. She enjoyed her meal. I enjoyed the sauce of the Diabla dish; it was spicy enough. What I would have preferred as more mushrooms and a lot less of the thickly cut onion slices, which I don't care for and actually don't agree with me, if eaten in quantities. I would have also preferred more mushrooms, which I do enjoy. Still, the shrimp were plump and well-cooked, and there were plenty of them. Also, contrary to some reviews, we thought that there dishes offered plenty of food. There were flies in the restaurant, which are a real turn-off for us. Once we moved over under one of the ceiling fans, it did not seem like a problem. All in all, a good first experience. We will definitely be back.
