La Costa Mexican Restaurant

Good carne asada. A bit dated.

We go here all the time. I dont appreciate how fast they are till I go elsewhere. They also know us, and sit in the same spot. I love how it feels so welcoming.

Imagine struggling so hard with business you have to charge your customers a fee to use a debit card

Purchased dinner on 12/6/2025 and our server was Bridget. Meal was $75 and i tipped her 20% for a total of $90. When i looked at my credit card statement Bridget has increased the amount of her tip to $20 without my approval. When I went to call the merchant, they didn't answer and the mailbox was full. Ok food, just some bad actors there. Go to La Hacienda in Draper where they don't rip you off!

EDIT: We recently visited this restaurant, and it feels like things have gone downhill. The prices have gone up, the portion sizes have gone down, the food quality wasn't what I remember from previous visits, and they are charging for additional chips/salsa (never a good sign for a Mexican restaurant). I doubt we will go back, there are plenty of other Mexican restaurants with better prices, better food, and free chips/salsa. Also the heater in the room we were in was a little on the loud side, made it a little harder to have a conversation.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: The food was good. We will definitely go back.

Roxy, my waitress is always wonderful. I had my favorite, Shrimp Enchiladas with tomatillo sauce (green sauce).

Love the family run feel. Food was great if not a bit expensive. The rice and beans were the best!

From the time we walked in, service was cheerful and attentive. After being seated we were brought complimentary salsa and bean dip. A refill was $1.50 and worth it. The food was served quickly and was hot. My 4 year old grandson loved the kids enchilada and ate every bite. I would 100% recommend.

Won't eat here, if they can't be bothered to take care of the outside, who knows how nasty their kitchen is. They obviously don't care about anything. Nasty!

I have been coming here for years. The food is pretty good and service is decent. My last 3 visits (all within the last 6 months) have left me irritated to the point that last night was my final visit to this restaurant. My order on each of the last 3 visits has been very wrong. I usually don't like to complain and will just eat what is brought out to me. Last night, I decided to tell the server that I was frustrated. She laughed. This is a server that I like and she does a good job. I also understand she may have laughed as a response to being put on the spot. Anyway, this is a restaurant with good food and decent service. However, if you are looking to get and pay for what you ordered, I would be hesitant to give them a positive review in that regard. I will no longer be a patron of la Costa in American Fork, Utah.

They do not serve authentic Mexican food. It is very bland and tasteless. It smelt bad in the restaurant and we were the only people there. I immediately felt sick after eating my dish, which I didn't even finish. The restaurant is old and sticky so the atmosphere isn't pleasant either. Won't be returning.

Lucky we sat in the back because the front smelled like sewage.
