" A delightful escape to authentic Mexican flavors! Costa Alegre offers a variety of traditional cuisine that transported me back south of the border. The tamales were rich and well-spiced, and the salsa was bursting with freshness. Also, the margaritas were freshly made, which is quite rare at most places I’ve been to lately. While the service was somewhat slow, the atmosphere made it worthwhile as I enjoyed the vibrant decor and relaxed setting. I will certainly return for more taste adventures! " (*Curated Review*)

" After moving to the area, we were thrilled to find a local gem like Costa Alegre! The tacos were phenomenal, very juicy and packed with flavor. The service was excellent too, warm and inviting staff who really made us feel welcome. The atmosphere reminds me of my favorite spots back home. I highly recommend you check it out if you’re craving authentic Mexican food. I’m already planning my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Costa Alegre was a revelation for my taste buds! From the moment I walked in, the warm atmosphere welcomed me. I started with the ceviche, which was perfectly citrusy and refreshing. The main course, a shrimp taco plate, was bursting with flavors. Each shrimp was plump and well-seasoned, served on a soft corn tortilla with a zesty slaw that added a wonderful crunch. The drinks were equally impressive; I enjoyed a freshly made margarita that was not overly sweet, just like I love! Overall, my experience was top-notch, and I plan to bring my friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an early dinner at Costa Alegre and was pretty satisfied with my meal. I had a cheese enchilada and it paired perfectly with their beans. While the dish was tasty, it wasn't as unique as I hoped. The salsa lacked the kick I love, and the fried plantains were delicious but could've used more seasoning. A little disappointed but I’d be willing to give it another shot for different dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had a birthday celebration dinner here, and it was splendid! The staff were incredibly accommodating, even allowing us a private corner for our party. The highlight was undoubtedly the crab cakes; they had the perfect balance of seasoning and texture. Everyone left happy and satisfied, which is always the greatest compliment I can give a restaurant. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to try their special mango ceviche! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my co-workers here for lunch. The seafood options were excellent! I particularly enjoyed the baja shrimp tacos. They were light and crispy, served with a zesty sauce that enhanced their flavors beautifully. The staff was courteous, and our server checked on us regularly without being intrusive. A perfect spot for a working lunch or casual catch-up with friends. Definitely coming back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited recently, hoping to find my new go-to Mexican restaurant. Upon entering, I was welcomed warmly, but I was underwhelmed by my meal. The shrimp fettuccine was enjoyable but lacked the authentic flavor I had hoped for, possibly because of overly generous cream sauce. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was friendly. I’ve heard great things about their empanadas, so I might give it another shot for those. " (*Curated Review*)
