" Someone recommended this place to me, and my visit matched every expectation! The tacos were great, and they had hand-made tortillas with rich flavors. The service was okay to good. I would advise checking it out; it’s definitely authentic! The place can be quite busy during dinner hours though. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re searching for true Mexican flavors, La Costenita won’t disappoint. Their pozole is one of the best I’ve had! The customer service was just average, but the food is what stands out. They keep it real and authentic. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great food over here! Even though the restaurant is small, the food makes up for it. I enjoyed the mole and fresh tortillas. The staff were friendly, and I appreciate their efforts. Might need to work on the wait time during rush hours, but the food is worth the wait in my opinion! " (*Curated Review*)

" I traveled to Santa Ana specifically to try La Costenita and was not disappointed. The food brought back memories of my family recipes from Guerrero. The tacos de birria were out of this world! Additionally, the servers were friendly, which made my dining experience even more pleasant. I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was curious about the hype, so I made a visit. I found the tacos flavorful but not anything special. The service was pleasant enough, but it felt like the place could use another staff member to keep up with the demand. I might try again at a less busy time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not sure what all the hype is about. My family and I went for the first time and found the food to be overpriced for what we got. The picaditas were bland and nothing to write home about. The service left a lot to be desired as well; we waited too long for our food. I might give it another go one day, but I’m not rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, the food didn't impress me as much as I thought it would. It felt too greasy, and the flavors didn't pop. The service was acceptable, but the atmosphere felt a bit noisy. I might try something different the next time. " (*Curated Review*)
