" A little overhyped, in my opinion. La Costeñita is decent, but I've had better tacos elsewhere. The service was friendly, but it was very slow. I’m glad I tried it, but I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had read glowing reviews about La Costeñita, so I was excited to check it out. While the food was pretty decent, I felt the prices were a bit steep for the portions served. The environment felt homey, and the staff was friendly but seemed overworked when it got busy. I might return, but I'm not in a rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to La Costeñita after hearing from friends and wow, it did not disappoint! The chicken tacos were heavenly, packed with flavor and freshness. The staff were engaging without being overbearing. The atmosphere was cozy and warm. I can’t wait to return and try more items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very mediocre experience at La Costeñita. The tacos were decent but nothing impressive, and the restaurant felt a bit cramped. Service was hardly noticeable, just okay. Not exactly what I expected from a place with such rave reviews. I’ll probably explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! La Costeñita provides a taste of Mexico right here in Hillsborough. I had the shrimp tacos, and they were bursting with flavor! The staff was amiable and took the time to explain the menu. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner. If you crave authentic Mexican food, this is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food but disappointing service. My order was mixed up and had to wait an additional 15 minutes to get the right dish. The manager was apologetic, which was nice, but it put a damper on my meal experience. When I finally got my tacos, they were great! Would go again but with caution. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could say I loved La Costeñita, but my experience was disappointing. Food was just lukewarm and lacked authentic flavor, though the atmosphere attempted to create a cozy dining space. The staff felt overwhelmed and neglected several customers, including me. I'll think twice before going back. " (*Curated Review*)
