DO NOT EAT HERE. Myself and 2 friends went to get lunch and decided to give La Costa a try. TERRIBLE MISTAKE. The chips were okay, the salsa was watered down and had no flavor. I ordered the pollo a la crema but I did not want any rice or beans. I just wanted the sauce over the chicken and onions. I got soup. The chicken was so over cooked it was like leather. The sauce was also watered down and bland. I couldn't eat it. One of my friends ordered the Lunch rancherra with shrimp and steak. The rancherra sauce looked like tomato juice out of a can. The steak was also like leather and had a rancid taste!! The refried beans had yellow cheddar cheese on it and looked awful. The rice was crunchy and overcooked. The only thing my friend could eat was some of the shrimp which was not great. You would think tacos would be something not hard to screw up but they did. My friend ordered two chicken tacos just chicken and cheese. The chicken was in another watered down red sauce and topped with melted cheddar cheese. She also could not finish her meal. The fact that they serve this to people is crazy. I will never go again. Extremely disappointed. It gets one star because yelp makes me.

Nothing was good. The server didn't understand most of what we said. The soup "mendudo" was inedible. Big pieces of pork fat floating around in it. Few vegetables in a thin broth. The chicken fajita quesadilla had thinly sliced (lunchmeat) meat and bland sauce with no vegetables no cheese. Rice was pulverized. Refried beans were tasteless. Guacamole was bad... I mean rancid. Even the chips with the salsa were stale. It was like .."oh let's give these white old people the junky leftovers." So that's it for us...bye bye!Parking: Very tight lot.

No sour cream on a taco salad? Did not order the salad because for that reason. Waitress did not offer to add it either. Margarita was awful.

Nice surprise I have driven by it 1000 times. Glad we stopped. They make their own chorizo and you can tell it, flavor explosion.
Been going there for years, will never go again, far too many incidents of poor preparation and minimal portions. To-go order Saturday and sufficiently annoyed. 1/4 cup of rice, 1/4 cup of beans, that were watery mostly. You could pour the 1/4 cup of beans off the side. [have video]. Brown lettuce, and scant ingredients in the tacos. Most of my friends have stopped going there, due to the same problems. This is not the first time either.

Was an excellent experience over first time back there in a long time and the vibes the restaurant gave was very similar to what I remember and the service made me feel like I was at a very high end

Atmosphere has changed alot since Covid. It use to be the go to place to get an excellent frozen mango Margareta. Ate there once a week. Now maybe once every few monthsParking: This particular La Costa has a tiny parking lot. Cramped and hard to maneuver in

We started with drinks and queso dip and man oh man was that gooooood!!!!! It was pretty dead inside given the time we arrived 4pm. But I don't mind a quiet restaurant. I got a carne asada burrito which. Came with chicken and mushrooms. Definitely not what I'm used to coming from Arizona Mexican food. But i love mushrooms so win win. The flavour was decent. I'll go again.
I ordered carne a Sade's and they was paper thin I got no rice and yellow cheese on my beans just did not satisfy me fr

I had a roach in my order of Camarones Cancun dish. Absolutely disgusting!!! So glad I was only 2 bites in. The staff did not think it was a big deal. We will never be back!

Was just ok, I was hoping for more authentic Mex-food but it was bland. Food did not seem fresh & dining are did not seem clean. It wasn't 'horrible' but just completely unremarkable.
