" Disappointing. Had high hopes but the tacos I ordered lacked flavor and felt a bit dry. The service was friendly but sometimes slow, especially when it was busy. I left feeling less satisfied than after past visits, and I’ll need to reassess if I’ll return. I love supporting local places, but I expect more consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every trip to La Costa is a treat! The freshness of the seafood tacos truly stands out. I love the fact that everything is cooked to order and you can taste the difference. It feels like you're dining at a taco stand in Mexico. If only they could add some more seating options! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a somewhat disappointing experience at La Costa yesterday. While I found the pricing to be very reasonable, the flavors in my burrito just didn’t match those I’ve had at other authentic spots. The outdoor seating can feel a bit exposed, especially on windy days. I’d still recommend trying their tacos, which I hear are much better! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high expectations, my experience was a mixed bag. The food was pretty good overall, but I found my super burrito to be overly greasy. However, I can't complain about the service – staff was friendly and attentive. I may give it another shot as some of the reviews I read were glowing, so I’m curious about other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is the real deal for authentic Mexican cuisine. I had the chance to try their queso tacos and they blew me away! The ambiance is relaxed, perfect for a meal after a long day. I was pleased with the generous portions as well. La Costa has definitely earned a repeat visit from me. " (*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*)
