    Pescado Sarandeado
    Ohmar G.

    In 2019, I stumbled into this place and i am still so thankful for it. Always tasty good dishes served from genuinely friendly people. Today I returned after 4+ yrs away and SO HAPPY it's just as great as before. Today I had a grilled Pescado Sarandeado with a salad (bc sadly my Dr told me I need a break from rice and beans). So great to taste great food again from Costa Azul.

    carne asada tacos

    Fire local gem in Burbank. I've had takeout here before, but came here for lunch for some quick Mexican food. I shared the ceviche tostada, carne asada, al pastor, and chicken tacos. The place itself is a bit divey looking but the food is delicious. The presentation of the food was impressive and I was satisfied with everything. I especially enjoyed the ceviche, it was fresh and so refreshing.

    Mole Enchiladas

    This is a family-owned local gem. The prices are fair for both the drinks and the food. Every time I try something new it exceeds my expectations. I have had the pozole verde, asada, and mole enchiladas. Everything is always perfectly cooked. It's never too packed in here and the seating area is spacious. The people that work here are also always on top of it and kind.

    Being a frequent traveler and lover of all things Mexico... I must try the menudo in the states when they say they got a good flavorful one. The person behind the counter seemed to be the owner who was super cool and handled my order while getting a catering order it seemed. It's on the corner with natural light, low music amidst the the sound of the cooks communicating in the back. Picking up my order from the window I was able to get the type or fresh tortillas and add the oregano and chili flakes. Salty, spicy (cause of my heavy hand) juicy pieces of organ and meat. It did the trick right before my flight. This is definitely a good stop after a night of drinking and a quick recharge.

    Enchiladas beef guacamole refried beans.  Yum.

    The food went well. There is another section with bar and restaurant. This today was a walk up order pay, then the chef calls you over to pick up your order. That is where this place excelled. He asked how I like it spicy, etc. Medium please. And he was thoughtful to give me little dish of spicy onions and jalapeños to try. The dish itself was the best I have had hands down. The ambience on the take out side was minimal plastic ware. But that's what I like. The money goes into the food itself. This chef is amazing.

    Since my first visit, I've been returning multiple times and I have to give credit to Costa Azul for the phenomenal job. The food is delicious. I've gotten the enchiladas that are good. The fried red snapper and the fried tilapia are always a great choice. The oyster with ceviche! My goodness. It always tastes the first thing I order. Drink it with a Michelada. Boom, just keep the food and drinks coming! I came on a Friday night and there was a performer. Gets the grove going.

    Aquachile
    Nikki B.

    I picked up a friend from Burbank airport and we stopped here to grab a bite to eat. This family-owned eatery has been serving the local community for 25 years. The atmosphere is chill, and there are a few TVs to watch sports. Our server was attentive and friendly. I ordered the Aquachile. It was presented in a nice clam shaped bowl, which was filled with shrimp, octopus, cucumber, & avocado. The citrus marinade had a nice flavor, and it was extra spicy, which I loved. I couldn't stop eating it. The margaritas are wine based, which I don't do, but I'd come back for the food.

For example, if you want crispy tacos, you can have either ground beef or shredded beef. I ordered the shredded and boy was it good! Be sure to bring your patience because excellence takes time. They cook each meal as it is ordered. Everything is so fresh, tasty, and delicious! You might want to try the Mexican rice because it's wonderfully flavorful. The strawberry lemonade was sweet and juicy. Inside the restaurant, there are several seats and tables with lots of colorful scenes painted on the walls. It's very clean and the best part is it offers great shade from the hot sun. There's a small parking lot next to the building, which is certainly convenient. If you love Mexican food, this is a place you'll want to try!

    This spot is easy to find and has ample seating inside, and its own parking lot (in addition to…read moreeasy street parking nearby, making it highly accessible). The ambiance is reminiscent of an 80s fast food restaurant, with fixed tables and bench seating. Although it was lunchtime, there were plenty of tables and chairs for us to choose from. I had seen photos online of their asada burrito, and I was so excited to try it! It looked amazing. I added the chile relleno burrito on the recommendation of the woman who took our order, which also looked fantastic. Well, for starters ... the burritos didn't look like that in real life. The prices are pretty high for what you get. Our burritos were missing the "free guac" that they tout, which was disappointing. And unfortunately, the quality of the meat was pretty mediocre - our steak was largely chewy and there were large pieces of gristle and/or fat, which made for an unpleasant bite. Flavor-wise it fell flat, too. The carne asada burrito and the chile relleno burritos were pretty bland - and they shouldn't be! Mexican food is known for its flavor! Sigh. Finally, the burritos were poorly wrapped and tore almost immediately, falling to the plate and necessitating a spoon or fork, which defeats the purpose of a burrito. Service is somewhat slow, so you would think they had plenty of time to season the food and properly wrap it. I'm not sure what happened, but I doubt I'd return. Bummer. I **really** wanted to like it.

Our food didn't take long to come out and they brought it to us. My wife loved her tacos and I thought my steak tacos were okay. The price on the tacos are on the higher side of things but it's understandable because of the location. There indoor and outdoor seating here.

There are a number of locations, but I think the Burbank one is one of the more popular ones. \ Pro-Tip: Choice paralysis or not, you really can't go wrong with the Sampler Platter. You get 6 mini tacos. Heads-up, some choices that are not available for the sampler are the following. - Pescado (Fish) - Camarones (Shrimp) - Nopales (Cactus) - Chile Relleno - Vegan Medley Also, be aware that these mini tacos are an average 2 bites (size-wise). FOOD: Steak Picado - 8.8 / 10 Beef + Pork in a spicy sauce. Hearty. If I was going to get a burrito with 1 protein, it could easily be this one. Bistek Salsa Roja - 8.7 / 10 Beef in a traditional Mexican-style red sauce. Hearty + spicy. Conchinita Pibil - 9.2 / 10 A very traditional Mexican preparation of pork. I told my Mexican friend about this & she was very impressed that this place offered such a traditional & native Mexican dish. Very spicy. Chicharron - 8.6 / 10 Pork Rinds (Pork Skin) simmered in a delicious sauce. Tinga Pollo - 8.8 / 10 Chicken & Pork in a classic spicy Mexican sauce. I can eat a whole burrito with just this protein. Mole Poblano - 8.9 / 10 Arguably one, if the most signature sauces of Mexico. If you've never has authentic Mexican cuisine, I recommend getting this. Calabacitas - 8.5 / 10 Squash, tomatoes, bell peppers, corn + onions served queso fresco cheese + a mild chipotle sour cream. As someone who loves meat, this is a great vegetarian option. Hongos con Cilantro - 7.4 / 10 Mushrooms are the meat substitute here. Frijoles con Queso - 7.0 / 10 Great, but nothing quite memorable. Quesadilla - 8.9 / 10 Queso panela, grilled and served with a mild chipotle sour cream. I was surprised by how much I loved this mini taco. The cheese is the star & I highly recommend this.

    I stopped by Kalaveras while visiting the Jackalope Art Fair in Downtown Burbank. After walking…read morearound in the heat, I wanted somewhere with seating, shade, and A/c. I had passed by this restaurant before but had never been curious enough to actually stop in. This time their drink menu advertised outside caught my attention so I figured "hey, why not?" From the moment I walked in i was trying to figure out whether I liked the atmosphere or not. The music was excellent, but the décor took me a second to process. It felt like an 80s lounge crashed into a neon Día de los Muertos inspired art gallery. It's most definitely not a quiet, cozy restaurant. It has more of a loud, colorful, party style personality. I was seated promptly by a kind hostess but I wasn't attended to by a waiter for nearly 10 minutes. Once my waiter did come by he was kind, quick, and professional. Now, I'm going to be honest.. I'm pretty picky when it comes to Mexican restaurant food, so I didn't have the highest expectations. I ordered the potato taquitos, a Jarrito Loco made with watermelon purée, vodka instead of tequila, and chamoy on the rim, plus chiles toreados and one carne asada taco. Laugh all you want, but I was half expecting the food to come out looking like a cafeteria lady had splattered it onto a plate... I was genuinely impressed by the presentation instead. The potato "taquitos" were bigger than I expected so don't let the "itos" fool you. They were crispy, flavorful, filling, and honestly so delicious. Those get a 5/5 from me. My drink was also incredible. It was refreshing, especially with how hot the day was, and had just the right amount of alcohol. The presentation was so cute I almost felt bad ruining it. Easily one of the best drinks I've had in the Burbank area -- 5/5. The carne asada taco wasn't as impressive as the potato taquitos, so I'd give that a 3/5. The chile toreado was definitely spicy, it just needed to be salted a little more but otherwise no complaints! I need to remind myself not to be too quick to judge because I was genuinely surprised by this place. The décor wasn't fully my personal style, but the food and drinks more than made up for it. I'd definitely come back again, especially for the potato taquitos and drinks.
