On Sunday after church, we went to this restaurant to go eat as we pulled up. The location is amazing. They have several parking when you walk up. They have an outside seating that is covered which is truly amazing. They have two big TVs in there and then you walk into the restaurant and to the right of you, several of you they also have other tables which you can have like a host of big party here or something lots of potential the hostess was very nice as we were there. We watched her attended to people and she was doing what she had to do and also behind the scenes and we seen her working on utensils, which is really nice that she wasn’t just sitting waiting for people to come in. She was actually working as we came in. They offered us one table, but we decided we wanted to sit the bigger one. We were gonna be waiting for some of our party to come so me, and my sister sat down automatically. We brought some chips, salsa, and beans for dipping, that was really nice of them we asked for an extra basket for the other side of our table waitress looked at us like all you want, but it was OK. They went and got it as we sat down. We just asked for water and then we decided after a while what it was that we wanted to order we ended up ordering one Menudo and we had to ask about because the price of the fish and they told us it would be $32 and some change and we were OK with that. We ordered it for due to an accident on the freeway took a little longer to get to us but when the food came out, it looked truly amazing, the Menudo looked to be really good. The fish was amazing but as they begin to eat, I asked one of the sisters how’s it honestly and she said I guess OK my other sister she didn’t look pleased. I was like oh what’s going on and then I was like oh it doesn’t have any salt pretty much had no flavor at all, but the plate was very beautiful. The fish was so big, it was such a beautiful plate and so sad that it had no flavor when my husband came out and it was a shrimp plate and we have had this plate at many other places and this was totally nothing like what other places had it have like full bed of rice, shrimp on the side and it’s on dish and a small piece of steak. Definitely not what we expected and we had ordered a Molcajete and that totally was not what we expected. It came in a big play and on a small plate it had shrimp and mushrooms and onions, mostly all onions and mushrooms. The flavors were actually really good, but it wasn’t a Molcajete. We ordered a few sodas Dr Pepper. Those were amazing my brother-in-law ordered a beer we ate and we left, but we did return the fish and we did get that refunded to us. My sister didn’t order anything else. She said that she would be fine, it was so sad that food looked really good. The establishment is really nice. Lots of potential. I would love to go back and see that they change some things. I understand if this is how they like to be but yeah, it needs a little touchup I had a lot of fake flowers inside and that to me just has always looked a little tacky a little dirty but some people do like that. I did see that they had so much area it’s so nice. nothing had several regulars, which was pretty nice. I didn’t see a lot of people coming in and out one other thing I didn’t like that as we were eating their cooks in the back were screaming every little while when we looked at the waitresses, she said oh he always do that. It’s OK, it’s kind of annoying, especially if you’re trying to have a dinner with family caring a person screaming in the back is not something that you’d like to hear at that moment the location was nice. I love the service. The location has very very much so potential just the food was not satisfying. It definitely needed a lot more flavor and it was very bland. The cup sodas were so good the service was amazing the salsa and chips and beans amazing. ?

The food and service were amazing. Attentive staff. Mucho generous portions on a piping hot plate. Chips salsa and beans while you wait. My beer was served with a frosted glass. My waiter had some jokes, I enjoyed the banter. Definitely coming back for more. The chile Verde is excellent ?

Great food! Awesome margaritas... Great service !!!! Thanks Mili.
Felt cozy, kind staff. Busy, but not too busy. I like a place where I can tell regular patrons know the staff and are greeted with familiarity. Food was delicious and big portions. Not too big, but ample. Will be back!

Disgusting. I am a fan of hole-in-the-wall mexican restaurants and usually they deliver an acceptable meal. But, here's the exception. I have never been served a more disgusting meal in my life (and I've been in jail). Rubber tortillas, rancid sauce and dry, rock hard "chicken" (i think?).
The chips and salsa were fine. The staff is fine.
I suspect that the management is cutting costs by serving leftovers salvaged from the dumpsters of better restaurants.
Best Mexican restaurant for food & drinks in the 206 area. Been coming to La Costa since 1992. Was introduced by Niki Cruz (r.i.p.) who owned a lowrider shop in Burien. The drinks are made right, service is great, atmosphere is casual/ easygoing, and the food is phenomenal! I’ve never had a dish or a drink at La Costa that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy. I will always recommend La Costa. I’ve been dining at La Costa so long that I recall when my friend ‘Popeye’ had curly black hair. No shade at all! Here’s to many more years of good food and good times!
