Absolutely fantastic. Service was fast and wonderful. Such a FUN atmosphere! The food was incredible, especially the delicious, soft, pulpo. Everything had so much flavor. The menu is mind blowing in the best way.

I visited this gem on a Sunday and it was busier than I anticipated so I had to wait. Not a big deal and wasn't a long time. Once inside, I was able to order right away. I Iooove mariscos and had a hard time making a choice because everything looked so delicious. I was torn between a vasiloco and Aguachiles. I ultimately decided on a Super Chavela, Aguachiles Tricolor, and a roll of sushi. I can't remember specifically what sushi roll I got because the star of the show was definitely the aguachiles!! The Chavela was ice cold and so refreshing. It did a great job of relieving the heat from the aguachiles. The aguachiles were so fresh and flavorful. I've honestly been craving more ever since and will be back soon for that vasiloco!!!

I went to Mariscos Costa Alegre on 2/23/24 with my daughter and husband and had the molcajete mixto, Tacos Gobernador and tacos de asada. We were given a mariscos consomé when we sat down and it was so damn good! The service was excellent! I am from Richmond Ca which is about an hour away and I keep telling my husband to bring me back for the Molcajete. The flavor is top tier and oh damn the creamy sauce in the molcajete is a must have. If you are in San Jose. Don't leave without trying this place

No need to go to Mexico to enjoy authentic Mexican food here. We ordered grill fish and it reminded us of what we ate in Puerto Vallarta. Service was quick and friendly. Will come back for sure. Gave 3 stars because this place is a family restaurant and casual setting, very hard to find parking.
