We had a great experience at La Costa!I had the enchiladas with green sauce, and my husband had the skirt steak.The sauce on the enchiladas had a great kick of heat. Not too much where it is overpowering, but enough to open up the sinuses. ?The skirt steak was delicious also, and there were plenty of leftovers.Our server was great, the weather outside on the patio was perfect, and we had a great time.We'll definitely be back!

The staff was so nice and the food was overall amazing. I loved the food and I was one hundred percent satisfied with my order and the food.

I came here to watch a soccer game on a Saturday night and it was a lively environment. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The margaritas seemed a bit watered down for the price and our service was verrry slow but still gave them the benefit of the doubt with a 5⭐️. This place has changed owners many times over the past few years and this is by far my favorite.

We had a sorta mixed experience here. Some of the food was fantastic, some of it was terrible. The dining area was uncomfortably loud.Regarding the food: The rice was awful. It had a gritty, almost dirt-like texture and flavor. The beans (we tried both black and refried) were basic canned beans. We left those on the plate.The carne asada, spicy shrimp and flank steak, our main proteins were amazingly good. Don't skip the fresh made guacamole, it is fantastic.I might get take out from here again. I won't go back to the sit down restaurant unless I eat outside. The volume of the music inside made it impossible to even talk across the table. Our waiter had to repeat questions and lean in to talk to us. It really made for an uncomfortable dining experience. It was restaurant food with loud club music.

Fantastic Cadillac margaritas and other Mexican cocktails! I love the servers and bartenders here too because they are so sweet and genuine. Always a fun place to go after a long work day! The chips and salsas are muy fantastico and the guacamole comes in a large bowl as it is freshly made! One of my favorite spots ?

Amazing food and staff. Prices are great!

I wanted to love this spot, but it wasn’t great. Maybe I went on an off night - there are plenty of five star reviews. Some friends and I went for happy hour and the prices were excellent so maybe you get what you pay for? I tried the rail margarita, chips and queso, tacos al pastor, and a side of guacamole. The margarita was unexceptional, but as expected for a rail drink. The queso was fine but on the thin side - not the addictive kind you’d go back for again and again. The tacos were traditional - two nice shells, choice of meat, onion and cilantro - which I usually love but the meat was dry and not very flavorful. The guacamole and chips were legitimate. The others in my party were less than impressed with their food and drinks as well so unfortunately I would not recommend. Everyone liked the chips though ?

Three delicious tacos during happy hour for five bucks.

Great atmosphere, no wait, friendly staff, and good food. I recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp and fried tacos. The margaritas are also delicious. You can tell that everything is homemade fresh. They didn't have any groundbeef; all the meat was shredded beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp. The server was very nice and helpful.

Great Mexican restaurant! The food and the atmosphere make you feel you're back in Mexico! Awesome place
