La Costa - San Jose

Good food reasonably priced with outdoor seating. Its a Nice little place.

I love their ceviche and they aren't stingy with the shrimp portions in it!

Review written during COVID 19, onsite takeout order. Thank you to everyone at La Costa for showing up and helping out at such times! Friday's have turned into Mexican nights so it doesn't matter where we are we try to look for local Mexican places to eat. Orders: bean and cheese burrito, wet veggie burrito, pastor tacos Food: since we ordered and got it to go ASAP, the food was hot! It's always nice to have hot takeout. Pastor tacos: come as smaller tacos with a heap of meat. The flavors were there, seems like everyone has their own pastor recipe. This was good, but we've had better. Not sure if they have a spit in the back, but it was a bit dry. Wet Burrito: this comes with green sauce, which is really runny. Again good flavor, but makes for a very soggy experience. The filling was well balanced, good portion of beans, rice, etc. But the burrito sat in a watery sauce, which was hard to pull through the burrito fixings. Bean Burrito: typical, beans were bland, and runny as well. The burrito was wrapped up onto itself, more like a bean roll, than a wrapped bean burrito. Overall: they had a good selection, I think everyone has their own taste profiles and we may have ordered the wrong things here. But glad we were able to keep our new Friday tradition.

Ugh I freaking love La Costa. Any of them. Their menu is simple, but delicious. Trust me when I say, they do not play with their tostadas. It?s a meal in itself and ridiculously good. However, we are disgusting and always order something on top of that. You won?t regret stopping here. It?s fast and the service is friendly and efficient. This location is cash only, but they have an atm in the restaurant too.

Outdoor seating only, so cold, rain wind and heat must be considered. Great prices on plates, burritos and such. My chili Verde (pictured) was $7. The restaurant has been open for years and is almost always a bit busy. We visit 2 or 3 times a month.
