I’ve been coming here for years but never wrote a review. About time I did. They’ve never disappointed me. Their tacos are consistently delicious! I love taco Tuesday’s here! The servers are also very quick and efficient workers even when it’s busy.

I went to Costa restaurant today and it was extremely disastrous. I put my phone on the charger then I couldn’t find it. This person claiming to be a gangster sat next to me and was annoying me. I looked and was unable to find my phone and charger. New individuals sat where I put my phone to charge and I didn’t assume that they had something to do with my phone missing. I asked management to try and retreat my phone by looking at the camera by who could’ve possibly took it. They asked me why would I ever leave my phone unattended. I felt overwhelmed by their questions and told told me that it has never occurred to me that someone would steal a phone from a diner where they were ordering from. The whole time nothing made sense as far as what happened to my phone so I asked for a manager. A Chinese man came out and said he was the manager but he wasn’t. In the end I told him that I’d like management to figure out what happened via the cameras. He said they can’t and told me it is possible I’ve never left my phone there at all. Fast forward an hour and a half later I was able to call 911 from their phone. And within half a minute they said my phone was unplugged by the hostess. I have been to Mexican restaurant in over 35 states and this by far has been the worst experiences of my life. I really wish I didn’t tip them or gave my business to them. It was an awful and a horrible experience. I can’t believe I spent my Uber money to go to this place. I have visited so many places and never had such an experience I regret every dollar I spent on this business. There are so many better Mexican restaurants where people are decent and also the staff. This was the worst Mexican restaurant experience. If you want a classy restaurant go to Pajarito or literally ANY other place but this!!!!

BEWARE DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE! Carlos the server writes in his own tips as he pleases. Tells you that you don’t need to sign a receipt and finesses his tips that way. I went up there this morning, and got every single penny I spent there with them and the stolen money back.

WORST SERVICE EVER! The server kept forgetting what we ordered and came back to us several times to verify what we ordered. Then when it was time to pay I had to tell him about 3 more times what each of us ordered because our bill was incorrect. My husband and I didn’t order more than 1 drink or a dessert because I wasn’t sure if he would forget again or if it would take an hour to get. The service was EXTREMELY slow, inaccurate and disappointing. The food was ok but was ruined by the service. We will not come back.

I had placed an order online due to (insert glitch here) it wasn’t received. The woman that was working took my order, had the cook on it immediately and was super nice while doing so. I ordered breakfast and it was soooo good. The pancakes were awesome as was my omelet. I will definitely return. Also the restaurant was very clean and nice decor. Can’t wait to come back!

I am a Chicano by definition. That basically means I was born, bred and tortilla fed in America. This place is the real deal and offers dishes you will find in Mexico. Unfortunately, as a TexMex fan, their recipes are a bit too hot for my taste. But some of them are stellar. I will continue to explore.

Some of the best food I’ve ever had! I would definitely recommend the chips and birria tacos. The staff was awesome and very helpful. If I had to complain about something, it was a little loud but it’s a sports bar that’s part of the atmosphere. I will definitely be back!

Great food and service and they’re very accommodating! Slightly pricy, imo. The patio is right on Cesar Chavez so it’s a little noisy with traffic. Love this place overall tho!
