I went to this place about 8 years ago. Didn't like it. I went there again for some reason, and the food has definitely changed. Mexican seafood in McAllen? This is the place. Best Mexican seafood in McAllen, hands down.
November 2025
A true seafood gem in the Mcallen area. A must try for the whole family. Very pleasant ambiance & clean presentation. Food is excellent from the ribeye tacos, the “zarandaso” sauce to the seafood soup. The freshly made “hibiscus & lemonade” 10/10!
October 2025
“La Costa Grill is one of my go-to seafood restaurants because the food is always great. However, I often run into issues when I order for delivery or even when I place an order for pickup. Even when I leave specific notes about my preferences, they often seem to get overlooked. It’s a bit frustrating because I love the food, but the ordering experience doesn’t always match up.”
