" La Costeñita has won my heart! The flavors are out of this world, and everything is prepared fresh. I ordered the tres leches cake for dessert, which was divine. The cozy atmosphere makes it a great place to try, and the staff seems genuinely passionate about their food. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful restaurant filled with authentic flavors! I was impressed with how fresh the ingredients tasted, and the variety on the menu is commendable.

" La Costeñita embodies a genuine Mexican experience. My family and I ordered a variety of dishes, including enchiladas and flautas, all beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. It was a wonderful family outing filled with laughter and great food. The little grocery store inside adds an extra level of charm. I highly recommend everyone to give it a try! " (*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*)
