    Salsa tastes like it was from a can.

    I remember coming here as a kid and the food was amazing. This time I went I ordered the tacos and they were not good at all. The salsa looked like it came from a can and I got more fat than actual meat. La Costa definitely lost its touch.

    Three asada tacos and one asada burrito

    The service was very quick and friendly . The set up of the property is great with all the shad going around the building which is outside seating . The food was AWESOME. I ordered three asada tacos , and they were absolutely delicious . I also ordered an asada burrito as well . The burrito was pretty heavy in weight and very generously filled . The $20 I spent was well worth it and look forward to eating here for dinner each day that I am here for a business trip .

    It had been many years since we have been here. We used to get burritos but after a long work day we decided on shrimp cocktail and tacos with orchata. I enjoyed the Al pastor it had a real good flavor and the shrimp cocktail was loaded with big shrimp amd juice had Worcestershire sauce which gave it a kick and was different than your usual cocktail. Good service and orchata was on point. Solid 4 for service and food but too many flies inside knocked down the rating for me.

    Carne asada taco

    Stopped by here after our first dinner choice had a waitlist of over an hour for Mexican food. This place has a cute small town island vibe, with all tables outdoors. Very casual. Prices were very decent. The carne asada super burrito was really good, wet, and full of flavor. The carne asada tacos were good but you can barely taste any cilantro or onion. The carne asada quesadilla was really yummy and I loved the bites that had plenty of melted cheese. (I didn't realize I ordered all carne asada!) I also had the tostada with octopus and shrimp and it was good but it was too fishy for me. I don't know if I would come back but it was good enough while I was there.

    Prices went up . And cheese is a $1 extra avocado $1 extra.

    Ugh not really happy with my recent experience. So I've been coming 2 la costa since forever. I've been 2 all locations. Now I went today to pick up 2 super burritos 1 pastor & 1 chili verde and 2 tacos regular . Cost me $35.63 cuz I added cheese on the burritos. That's crazy prices. 1st off super should come with avocado n cheese like most taquerias n taco trucks. I had to buy an avocado n add. Tacos were small n had literally onion and a little tiny bit of cilantro on it. Meat had some chewy pieces . Chili verde was dry. Not sure if I'll be back to this location. They are the only la costa left in the 209 lthat does chili Verde. I just went to San Francisco I bought two super burritos that comes with avocado and cheese for $20. It's ridiculous the prices here they definitely went up. That's right

    Decided it was okay to give me burrito with the sauce and other ingredients on the outside of the tortilla. The carne asada and shrimp is also cold. Last time going here. That's probably what they wanted though.

    Very dry burrito no salsa and very little sour cream

    Went to the La costa today 1/10/25 spent over $40 and left a tip, our burritos were very dry. disappointed in this restaurant If I could've left No stars, I would have

    This is a shrimp quesadilla!!

    I'm only giving 1 star cause I have to give a star this was so disgusting and disappointing I ordered a quesadilla and if you see the pic of the quesadilla idk what that was soggy stuffed with lettuce and soggy everything the tacos also so dry and flavorless. Never ever again don't waste your time and money!!

    Carne asada burrito with shrimp added

    This is a walk-up taqueria off Main Street that is cash only. Hubbs had a burrito from here and said I have to try it. I probably would've liked it better if I hadn't stood in a long line in the sun with a mask when the car thermometer read 105°!!! Like the name implies the food is more coastal with a variety of seafood options. I asked the very nice kid at the register if they had enchiladas and was told they do not. Asked for recommendations and he let me know that their carne asada and shrimp were very popular. Said their carne asada was done differently so I got a carne asada and shrimp burrito. We were ordering for the family so we also got 2 carne asada burritos hold the sour cream and add cheese, carne asada super taco, carne asada taco and a carnitas taco. Got home and our order including changes were done correctly YAY! My burrito was big with large shrimp that were plentiful but were only on one half of my burrito, the carne asada was good but I didn't detect anything different about it. We asked for the tacos to be plain for the babes and they definitely had plenty of meat. Prices are cheap, $7 for a burrito and $2 for a street taco. Extra shrimp was only $1.50 but extra cheese was $1 per burrito. That seemed expensive compared to the costs of everything else. Can't complain only $1.50 for shrimp is a great deal and all our food came out to $35?!?! Definitely some cheap tasty bites. Both the hubbs and I could only eat half our burritos, warmed them up the next day and they were still tasty. This place is busy so the food is fresh. If I lived nearby I would definitely go more than I should. I would give the place 3.5 stars but since that's not an option I rounded up to 4 stars since our order was done correctly and the staff was helpful and nice.

The restaurant is seated to the back of the parking lot with a liquor store to the right. You know, you've found the place with their large grill on the corner of the lot. The Hubbs had stopped in previously after going to the liquor store next-door for an energy drink and had gotten a mini burrito which he felt had homemade flavor and great size to eat while driving to work. When you walk in your hit with a bunch of mini boards and behind that is an open kitchen, where two ladies were doing prep and cooking. We decided to get a sampling of their food and got a chili verde sope, shrimp & al pastor tacos, Quesabirria tacos and a mini carne asada taco. The food is all made to order and had a fresh homemade taste to it. Surprisingly the mini burrito which I thought would be basic had a great taste and size. The salsa bar has several options and all the items were also very fresh. The food had a homemade quality, they're not skimpy with the toppings, and the price won't break the bank.

Salsa bar was pretty good they had a lot of options as well as grilled/pickled veggies. Food came out and the quesadillas were sliced in a narrow way which i liked cuz i can dip in the salsa. Tacos were also good and flavorful. Overall great place for Mexican food. For sure would come back and try their ribs or other meats.

But the recent changes to the Monday/Wednesday happy hour tacos caught me off guard. The deal now requires everyone at the table to buy alcohol, not just one person -- and the tacos themselves have gotten smaller, too. I don't really have a problem with the alcohol policy itself; that's pretty standard for happy hour. What got me was the service. I sat at the bar for nearly 20 minutes and the bartender ignored me the whole time -- no greeting, no heads-up about the new policy, nothing.
