La Costa Salinas Reviews
Cash only and patio seating! Really tasty and authentic Mexican food.
Good, fast Mexican food. It lived up to the expectations of quick lunch fare that is not a burger.
If this place had indoor seating it would be great. I had taquitos de cabeza and menudo for breakfast. It was all so tasty.
La Costa makes what may be the best burrito I’ve ever had.
I had their menudo today with a side of bolillo bread. Its "BOMB" highly recommend this place!!
I had never eaten at this place before, but was very pleased with the food prices and atmosphere.
One of the best taquerias I've ever eaten at :-) giant portions at moderate prices.
My husband I eat here often. Their cocteles and ceviche tostadas are really good. I've also tried the carne asada torta and I'll definitely be getting it again.
🌮 Ka Costa Taqueria — a flavorful gem in Salinas! If you're craving authentic Mexican bites with no frills and all flavor, this spot delivers. ✨ Highlights: - 🐷 Al pastor tacos that hit the spot - 🍤 Shrimp ceviche that’s fresh and zesty - 🌯 Burritos so big they deserve their own zip code - 🪑 Outdoor seating with a casual, local vibe 💸 Heads-up: It’s cash only, so bring those bills or be ready to sprint to the nearest ATM! 📍 Located at 1306 N Main St, it’s a local favorite for good reason. Fast service, generous portions, and a menu that keeps you coming back
Yesterday I had a huge burrito, steak and all the fixings. With a can of soda and 2 cups of Salsa Verde for 15$. Tasted like homemade food, so good. It rained so hard, open air seating. It reminded me of Puerto Vallarta, awesome. Poor Taco Bell across the street with their industrial mess for over 20$
We were hungry and the place had street appeal. The smells were also good as we drove by, so we turned around and came back and pulled in. Everything looked neat and clean and as I said had street appeal, by that I mean well ordered no trash anywhere and well kept. There were cars in the parking lot and I walked up to the order window with several people ahead of me. I examined the menu from overhead and mentally prepared my order. When I got to my turn I placed my order and took a seat to await delivery of my order. I actually didn't have to wait long and my order was delivered to me via my number provided to me upon completion of my ordering. Although I wasn't provided any silverware or napkins, my order was complete and exactly as I ordered it. Since all the orders are to go or you can sit at one of the tables and eat, my husband and I were eager to get back to our hotel room, so we took our order and left. When we got back I snapped pictures of the food which you see below, everything looked delicious and as we tasted the fair, it was as good as the pictures promised. In fact the tostada had so much meat I had to take some of the meat off just to eat it. Although I'm from out of town I would go back to this restaurant again to order and, I probably will, since we often visit here from out of town. All this food was only $13; as I said, it tasted good, but later, we both had indigestion from the grease. I guess each person must decide if it is worth it.
Really cute spot and great service but my meal was underwhelming. I ordered a carnitas plate and the meat was so dry. I didn’t finish it. Maybe it was an off day and the food was sitting for too long. I would have asked for a refund but I didn’t want to be a hassle for the workers.
I always think to myself, maybe my communication isnt clear enough, but I order my burrito the same way, and every time they get my order wrong. How hard is it to roll carne, onion, cilantro, cheese, sour cream and red sauce into a tortilla and toast it? Is this a difficult order to fulfill?
This is my second time here. First time was pretty good. Decided to order the Platillos with carnitas, this is legit the worst carnitas I've ever had. If it wasn't raining so hard I would drive it back. It's more like pork jerky. Nothing tender or juicy at all. Super disappointed 😞
