" Having been to La Costa multiple times now, I can easily see why it has a loyal customer base. The shrimp ceviche is refreshing and the stuffed peppers are divine! Sometimes it can get pretty crowded during weekends, which means service can lag behind a little, but it’s a minor inconvenience. If you're after a relaxed vibe with authentic flavors, don't hesitate to check this restaurant out; it never disappoints me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I noticed La Costa during a drive and decided to stop by on a whim; I’m so glad I did! The chicken fajitas were delicious and you definitely get your money's worth with portion size! The environment was colorful and lively, which really added to my experience. Although my server forgot my drink, she was very apologetic and provided great service otherwise. I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine—we’ll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at La Costa is like embarking on a culinary journey to Mexico! I can’t stress enough how authentic their food is, from their freshly made tortillas to their delicious mole sauce. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, which were delightful—filled with just the right balance of spices and flavors. The seating is a bit tight, but that's part of the charm! My only criticism would be that my server forgot my drink order, which took some time to arrive. Still, the overall experience was quite memorable. " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s rare to find a place that feels like home when you're eating out. The staff are so welcoming, it's like dining with family. Each time I’ve visited La Costa, I’ve been blown away by how authentic the food tastes. The enchiladas verde rival even those my abuela used to make! But don't just take my word for it—head over there and try their menudo. Trust me; you will not be disappointed. It can be a bit busy, and the service varies with the crowd, but the food always shines through any delays. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at La Costa, and it was the perfect choice! We started with the ceviche—it was incredibly fresh and flavorful. For the main course, I had the carne asada, which was grilled to perfection and showcased the authentic taste I was hoping for. The ambiance was cozy, making it a great setting for our special evening. The staff was attentive but not overbearing, allowing us to enjoy our dinner in peace. I can definitely see ourselves returning here. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had been hearing good things about this restaurant, so we decided to try it out. The tacos were delicious, made from fresh ingredients, but the service was a bit slow, which was disappointing. However, the authentic taste was definitely worth the visit. The prices were reasonable, which I appreciated. The only downside was the inconsistency in the service but overall a good experience! I would come back again for sure and hope for a better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard many wonderful things about La Costa before visiting, so my expectations were quite high. The food overall was good, with the enchiladas and tacos standing out, and you could tell they were made with authentic ingredients. Sadly, I had a long wait for service which took away from the enjoyment of my meal. While I wouldn't call it my favorite Mexican spot, I see potential and I'm open to giving it another shot. The place was nice and lively too. " (*Curated Review*)
