" Lovely restaurant with a warm atmosphere! The food was pretty good and had a mix of authentic flavors. The highlight was definitely their margaritas which were delicious. Just a little on the pricey side, but I feel like it’s worth it for the quality and vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant, Costa Azul is the place to be! The flavor in every dish brought back memories of my grandma's cooking. The portions are massive, and the prices are fair. Their mole is out of this world good. I can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Costa Azul holds a special place in my heart! The flavors remind me so much of home. I have fond memories of family dinners here. The portions are good, and the prices are fair too. I always go for the chicken enchiladas—they are my favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Costa Azul a few times now, and the food is consistently good. My favorites are the tacos al pastor and the shrimp ceviche. However, the service can be a bit slow during peak hours. I also appreciate the nice ambiance, but it's often too noisy for a quiet dinner. Overall, still a solid choice for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great brunch here last weekend. The chilaquiles were fantastic and the service was prompt. I enjoyed their refreshing aguas frescas as well. The only downside was the loud music, but that’s part of the experience here. It's definitely a lively place. Just beware if you're looking for quiet dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, we had dinner at Costa Azul. The rice and beans were superb, and the salsa bar was impressive. The only downside was waiting a little while for our meals to arrive, but they made up for it with short apologies. I’d come back to try other dishes for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Costa Azul never fails to impress! The food is always fresh, and I love the generous portions. My go-to is the tacos de carnitas. They're simply amazing! The staff is super friendly, making every visit enjoyable. This is always a must-visit for me. " (*Curated Review*)
