"Mexican Pizza & Chicken Soup (made to order), split/ shared, tasty lunch on a cold day, hit the spot! Friendly, accommodating staff. Plan to return based on quality of both these items."

"I have been craving Mexican food ever since moving here, and I'd heard good things about La Costa. My husband and I went today for lunch, and I am so happy we did! I had a ground beef Chimichanga and It was yummy. The guacamole was delicious too! I was also really impressed with the refried beans (so few restaurants get that right). Oh, and the coffee was good as well. Friendly staff, reasonable prices. Will definitely come again!"

"Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - Parrillada for Two which was part of the fajitas section but seemed to have all the different options of proteins. It is a gigantic portion! They first served a large skillet completely covered in meat ranging from chicken, pulled pork, grilled pork, steak, shrimp, and some vegetables like bell peppers and onions. Then they brought us each a plate of rice, beans, lettuce, guacamole, and sour cream. The proteins were on the saltier side but worked well with the sides.
Service: 5/5 - extremely friendly gentleman that took our order. Everyone that we encountered was friendly even though there were slight language barrier.
Ambiance: 5/5 - cozy spot that is covered with colorful decoration. The table is covered with ads from different places but it sort of fits with the theme of everything there.
Value for price: 5/5 - we were pleasantly surprised that the meal was just over $35 before tip! We had enough leftovers for almost another full meal."
