La Costa Mexicana

We initially were really excited to try this place out as we had a couple different people tell us how good it was. Simply put, it was the first and last time we will ever be going here for a meal. The only good thing about our dinner was the chips and salsa, and the cheese dip. For starters when we came inside, we stood by the "host" stand (if you want to even call it that because they don't seem to have a host/hostess) for about 10 minutes before anyone even spoke to us. When they did speak to us finally, it was just to tell us it would be 5 minutes and then he walked away. We weren't seated for another 10-15 minutes, and they almost skipped over us completely because they didn't even know who they spoke to first. By this time there were about 10 people behind us also waiting for a table. If they truly were jam packed i would have been more understanding, but half the tables were empty and just not cleared off yet. Once we were seated we just tried to figure out what we wanted as quickly as possible so we could get out of there. Our server was super short with us and never refilled our drinks. After we got our food we weren't spoke to again until long after we had both finished eating and once we got the check we waited again for another 10-15 minutes before anyone came to take our payment. In addition earlier in the day I had made a quick call in to see if they did reservations. The lady on the phone seemed pissed she had to speak to me at all. I said I wanted to make a reservation, and she didn't even take my name and hung up on me when I went to give it to her. WAY better places in the area to get reasonably priced and better serviced Mexican food.

We usually have great service and food, but tonight things were off. The food was cold for some of our party and food took a long time to get to us. We ran out of drinks often. Hopefully next time is better.

Salsa and chips, salsa tasted like tomatoe sauce and vinegar. We had the nachos with chicken nothing good about this dish no flavor no spices no heat. Waiter took our order brought the food didn't see him again until he brought the check. Nothing special about the atmosphere. I can't think of a reason to go back. Parking: Free street parking, if you can find a parking spot.

I have always had such great food, service, and overall experience at La costa!! I got to wear the new chiefs sombrero for my bday!!!

Great food . Friendly staff and a allaround great atmosphere,,,
