" I was excited to try Costa Bonita after hearing so many great things. The decor was lively and colorful, which enjoyed. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and while they tasted okay, I expected a bit more in terms of flavor since I've had shrimp tacos at other places that really popped. The service was attentive, but I felt overwhelmed with the noise level on a busy evening. I’ll definitely give it another chance but hope the flavors are more pronounced next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm very pleased with my first-time experience at Costa Bonita. The food was bursting with flavor, reflective of authentic Mexican cooking. I had the quesabirria tacos and they were loaded with rich taste. The atmosphere felt homey, making it a comfortable dining spot. The service was efficient, yet I would have appreciated a bit more attention, but overall, it was a solid experience. I will certainly return to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Costa Bonita is arguably the best Mexican restaurant in Morehead City. I went for dinner last week and was impressed by the lively ambiance when I walked in. I ordered their signature tacos, filled with delicious marinated beef that had the richness of real Mexican flavors. The portions are generous, and I appreciated that they used fresh, high-quality ingredients. My server was friendly and kept my drink topped up. The margaritas here are also something you don't want to miss out on, they're absolutely delightful! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were on a family trip and decided to eat at Costa Bonita based on reviews. It lived up to the expectations! The fresh guacamole was hands-on the best I've had, prepared right at our table. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, which were tender and flavorful. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was attentive. I might be coming back for another visit during our stay because the menu offers so many tempting dishes worth trying! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've heard all the buzz about Costa Bonita, and they did not disappoint! We went as a large group and were seated promptly. The best part of our meal was the guacamole made fresh at our table! Everyone at our table loved it. I ordered the carne asada, and it was delicious and well-seasoned. The portions were not overwhelming, which is nice since I wanted dessert! I commend their service, too—they were quick and friendly throughout our meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fun and vibrant restaurant! Costa Bonita boasts a lively atmosphere and a diverse menu! I tried the chicken fajitas, and they were flavorful, sizzling, and served in good proportions! The guacamole was one of the highlights, and I loved the extra touch of it being made at the table. While the restaurant was packed, I still felt well catered to, and my overall experience was quite delightful. Will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Costa Bonita last week and truly enjoyed my meal! The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere full of color and light, creating a pleasant vibe. I opted for the fish tacos, which were spectacular—so fresh and well-prepared! The waitress was attentive and friendly throughout our visit, making sure our needs were met. I also tried their signature margaritas, which complemented the meal perfectly! Overall, a delightful evening that exceeded my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
