" I have mixed feelings about La Costa. On one hand, the taco choices are extensive and quite tasty. On the other hand, the service felt slow and unorganized during peak hours. The atmosphere was lively, which I liked, but it might be overwhelming for those seeking a quiet meal. I think I’ll give it another try, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stop what you're doing and go to La Costa! Their mariscos are some of the best I've tasted. Every dish is made with love, and you can really taste the authenticity in every bite. The seafood is incredibly fresh, and I appreciated how the owner interacts with customers. It's a little on the casual side in terms of decor, but that doesn’t take away from the great food. A must-visit for all seafood lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent Mexican seafood with friendly service! I had the Mexican sushi, and it was a treat. I appreciated the vibrant decor, making the restaurant feel alive. Just be ready for a din of fellow diners and loud music. But still, I would highly recommend La Costa for its flavors and casual atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Love this restaurant! The seafood they offer is always fresh, and I appreciate the friendly staff. The atmosphere can be a bit chaotic because it’s popular, but that only adds to the charm. Highly recommend the ceviche - it’s superb! " (*Curated Review*)

" I first heard about La Costa through social media and decided to give it a shot. I was impressed by how authentic the food tasted, especially the seafood dishes. Although I found the music a bit loud and distracting, the quality of the food made it worthwhile. The little details, like fresh lime garnishes, really elevated the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Costa is an exceptional restaurant to enjoy authentic Mexican seafood. My partner and I loved every moment spent here. The food was fresh; I highly recommend the shrimp cocktail! The prices are reasonable, and the serving sizes are perfect. The only downside was the loud music, which detracted from the relaxing vibe. But we will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at La Costa was pleasant. The service staff were friendly and attentive. The food was decent, but I think there’s a lot of room for improvement, especially with the authenticity of some flavors. The ambiance was welcoming but could be better with softer music. Overall, I'd visit again but with tempered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
