" La Costa is a delightful place for lunch. I enjoyed a generous portion of their fish tacos. Super fresh with just a hint of spice. Overall, the vibe is chill and friendly. I find myself coming back to this spot consistently because it never disappoints. The staff is always welcoming and eager to help. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining here, but my experience was rather mediocre. The tacos were bland and lacked the spicy kick I was hoping for. The service was alright but felt rushed even though it wasn’t busy. It’s a shame, as I was expecting something more authentic. Maybe I’ll try again one day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Costa last week for the first time and was impressed by the speed of service. I had the shrimp ceviche tostada and it was delicious, very fresh! The downside was that it was a bit too spicy for my taste, but that’s subjective. Overall, I had a pleasant experience, and will explore more of their menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I ordered a bean and cheese burrito, and it was just okay. The portion size was decent but ultimately lacked the flavor I was hoping for. On the other hand, my friend’s al pastor tacos were fantastic! So, I guess it really depends on what you order. I may return to try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing spot for a quick and hearty meal! My personal favorite is the fish tacos; they’re simply divine. The outdoor seating provides a casual vibe, and I enjoy the consistent quality. Plus, the staff is always accommodating. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Costa never disappoints! Whether I'm craving tacos, burritos, or ceviche, they consistently deliver great quality and taste. Outdoor seating makes it feel like dining at a local taqueria. Prices are friendly too, perfect for a casual meal any day of the week! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just got back from La Costa and I’m struggling to understand the rave reviews. Yes, the portion sizes are good, but the flavors in my burrito lacked seasoning. Not the worst experience, but I’ve had much better elsewhere. The service was quick which I appreciated, but not sure if I’d return again anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
