As a Dana Point resident for over three decades, my admiration for Mexican food runs deep, and I've always been grateful for the culinary delights it offers. For years, I frequented taco surf, a beloved Mexican restaurant in town. However, with the recent ownership change almost 4 years to Cali Costa, now known as Cali Costa, with, beautiful young couple ,I'm pleasantly surprised by the seamless transition and the expanded menu options. The dedication to great customer service from both the owner and bartenders all the waitresses and waiter only adds to the appeal. Without hesitation, I'd recommend cali Costa to all, including my Hollywood acquaintances, for an authentic taste of Mexican cuisine in Dana Point, California. don't forget that my favorite sports European football in American football always on on their TV..

Hidden gem right off of PCH. Food is killer, ambience is incredible and management is some of the most wonderful people here in south county. Must try next time you are in Dana Point!

Kaycee is amazing! So friendly and happy to serve her customers. She literally listens (I'm high maintenance) and delivers what you ask for with a smile on her face. Patio is great in warm weather and dog friendly! I highly recommend, but be sure to ask for Kaycee to take care of you. Happy hour has great deals.

Located directly on PCH- it is loud, the server forgot our drink order but was otherwise attentive. The food lacked flavor, but was delivered warm. New to Dana Point. Will not come back. ?

Awesome Mexican/California style food and great cocktails. Love the chips and guacamole and margaritas. Friendly and attentive service, tasty Baja tacos all served at the original location/building of Hobie Surfboards.
Great menu, food, service and they serve breakfast burritos all day. Dog friendly with patio seating and doggie menu! ??

The Erica Experience
We were in area running an errand and hubby decided to stop here for lunch on a Saturday. I had the enchilada plate, it came with the right cheese on beans, queso fresco. My whole plate was delicious! Kai was very attentive, friendly and professional. Lots of TVs through out restaurant. Lots of different drinks to choose from and food was great!

I've driven by Cali Costa a few times and always wanted to try. The place looks cozy and cute from the outside, but looks can be deceiving. Inside of Cali Costa looks like a dive bar. It's kind dark and dinky. I ordered a short rib breakfast burrito, and the total was $19+. The burrito itself was unimpressive. I'm not sure about returning.

COLBY was amazing! Great customer service and great place to watch football. Salsa was good. The breakfast carnita tacos were delicious.Had to write a review just because of Colby. He was so nice and so cool and great at his job!
