I have never written a bad review, but I feel I have to write this one as a warning. The food was very tasty, however, it sadly gave my friends and I food poisoning. :( We were sick all weekend and could only conclude that it was the tacos we purchased from this location together. Please be warned.... read more

I had the mole enchiladas and they were so good! The mole is the best I've ever had. We had a lovely waitress and enjoyed our experience there. read more

How this place is in business is beyond me. Nothing is fresh, over priced and just disgusting. I should have taken a picture of the shrimp tacos I ordered. Save your money save your stomach save your time. Do you dine here. read more

This is literally what I have been on a search for all week in California! The only reason I did not give this a five star review, is because the place needs a bit of updating. But the food OMG! REAL DEAL MEXICAN ALL DAY! I am not talking about your typical tacos burritos fajitas, yes they have those on the menu, however, they are the most flavorful tacos burritos and fajitas you've probably ever had, but the majority of this menu is not your typical American version of Mexican food. Even the chips and salsa were spectacular!The salsas were probably some of the best that I have ever had. And the shrimp tacos, out of this world! From the combination of the seasoning on the shrimp, to the delightful sauce on top, to the fresh pickled veggies on the side coupled with the homemade corn tortillas, magnificent! I also had the chicken soup, and it was like someone's Mexican grandmother made this in the kitchen. It literally had a whole chicken thigh and chicken leg plus pieces of chicken breast meat in it. There were so many fresh and flavorful veggies along with a delicious broth. It also came with a side of Mexican rice fresh diced onions and cilantro for topping.This place literally is real deal Mexican food! And my server was also very fantastic. As I said the food deserves five stars, however, since the interior needs a bit of updating and redecorating that's the only reason the entire review is four stars and not five. I will absolutely be back to this place the next time I am in the Burbank California area. read more

Have returned to Costa Azul a number of times since my last review. Have tried other items from their menu like tacos de lengua, chili Colorado, carne asada tacos and still loving their caldo de res. And chili verde. We are trying their nachos with chicken today and beef flautas. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Try them out. read more

This place isn't horrible, it's just ugly. They sold me the weirdest looking fish tacos, but they weren't bad, they were almost good. I might go back and try something else. Ghetto patrons that think it's socially acceptable to watch YouTube videos on their phone at the highest volume possible. read more

As usual this place has some of the best and freshest pescado. But even if you don't like fish the meat selections are great! We've been coming here for years and we are never disappointed. Even their micheladas are amazing - limey, salty, tart and fantastico. It feels like being in Mexico! read more

Best Pozole I've ever had. So hard to find good pozole, took a chance on a new spot and had an amazing experience. You can tell they make it with love, salsa is also amazing read more

Good food, but if there's more than 2 or 3 people ordering don't expect to get it fast, wasted an entire 30 minute lunch just waiting on my order, prices are not competitive so little incentive to return. read more

Do not order food from this place! I ordered a simple pozole dish and I received 5 bones and half a cup of broth. No hominy, no meat. Terrible service! Do not waste your time or your money! read more

I haven't been here for several years even though it is close to my house. I ordered a seafood soup the quantity was very good but it was very salty. So needless to say I didn't finish it. The prices were much higher now, I understand due to COVID gas prices and cost to maintain a business draws for higher prices. But for two people it was 60 dollars. Just for a soup and shrimp dish that my wife had. What threw me over the top was a $1 dollar surcharge fee to pay with a debit card which only cost them .35 cents vendor fee. Not cool but I guess that's cost of business for certain places. The waitress was very nice knew menu very well. Would I go back maybe but not for a 30 dollar soup. They do have a great seafood cocktails overall. read more

I visited yesterday. Photos looked good. Key point looks good. The waitress was friendly. She brought me chips and two salsas with my drink. Both salsas were spoiled. I informed her. She said she would check with kitchen. When she brought my food I saw it, it looked good. When I took the first bite, I noticed the seafood had a bitter taste. I took another bite and saw that it was spoiled. I informed the waitress and the staff about my finding and left. I read google reviews and was looking forward to getting some yummy food. So disappointed. read more

Never eating here again. Food is terrible and service is even worse. I used order from here often since it was across the street from my apartment. Little by little the service and food quality went down. The last time I placed an order the cashier only addressed me once. When she addressed me she wasn't polite she asked "Que quiere?" (What do you want?) as if I was an inconvenience for interrupting her conversation with a male customer. During the rest of the transaction she kept talking to the customer and wouldn't talk to me. When I got home I got a weird smell from the ceviche and the taste was off. I called them and told them. The lady said I it wasn't true, she was currently eating and she was fine. No apology given, just sarcasm. Would not recommend this place to anyone. There are other Mexican food places near by that have better food and service. Look for those instead. read more

I've been ordering delivery from this local business since I moved to burbank before the pandemic, the one time i decide to dine in, and it will be my last ever eating or ordering from them. i ordered 4 asada tacos and a coke (fountain drink) the total came up to $28.05. when the waitress brought me the bill I surely thought it was a mistake as I've ordered the very same thing before through several delivery apps and it was around $15. I asked the lady if the pricing was correct and her response was "look at the menu honey" I knew speaking to her was pointless so I went to the manager who was sitting on the other side of the place I explained to him the charges and even on THIS app,uber, doordash and also on a board they have at the front of the restaurant, that each asada taco is 2.25 for a small and $3.50 for the large (that's reasonable and in line to what I've paid many times in the past) however, after explaining this to the manager he said that the pricing on the delivery apps and yelp was outdated and that he needed to change it AND that the price to dine in was different than to pick up..I found that to be completely out of line and felt cheated by me actually providing business to a local restaurant. he asked me what I wanted due to the mixup and I told him he had to.make that call, whatever he felt was the right thing to do...he extended his hand and that's all he offered me. I support small businesses because my own family has 2 restaurants and I know how hard the last few years have been but I'm never coming here again. almost $30 for 4 asada tacos and a coke...ABSURD! read more

I absolutely love this place! My brothers and I always come here for our ceviche fix. The chips and salsa they start us off with are DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS! Be careful not to get too full off of them, because the food is delicious. We always get the shrimp and octopus ceviche and they're great. We tried the oysters once and they were terrible. My family loves tacos al pastor. My personal favorite is the tostada with the mixed seafood on top. Their micheladas are worth every single calorie, trust me! Although their staff can use A LOT of work, I do recommend giving this place a shot. read more

Costa Azul - chips and michelada - Seafood Near Me - Burbank, California

Most unprofessional staff EVER!!!!!! They are rude and do not like white people. Read recent reviews of food poisoning and food going downhill? New owners or management??? If so they cannot be trusted. Horrible. If they are that unprofessional in how they act, and treat customers-do you trust them to prepare your food??? I will never return to this dive restaurant. No thanks. Avoid!!! read more

This place was one of my favorites places of Mexican seafood for at least 18 years and this place was one of the few places I used to order octopus in garlic sauce until they changed the recipe not Mexican at all, the octopus was cut on thin slices and they add Cajun spices to the butter and garlic sauce, which is not bad but not what I was expecting to eat, then I tried a shrimp cocktail but it was the same a very different flavor I was used to enjoy for many years. read more

On a warm sunny Sunday we ordered 15 fish ceviche tostadas to go. I have to say the tray presentation was beautiful. They were an absolute hit. Everyone wanted to know where they were from and I certainly made the referral. We will be back for more! read more

Nasty tacos! They don't even clean the beef tongue correctly! They always mess up your order.

You know I almost do not want to write a good review for this place because I am in fear the masses will find out about it and I will no longer be able to just walk in and get a seat quickly. But alas, giving Costa Azul a rating of anything less than five stars would be a terrible thing to do. Now to be fair I am totally and completely aware that typing in all caps is rude, but please allow me just this one time to make this point abundantly clear; ALL OF THE FOOD I HAVE ORDERED FROM HERE IS AWESOME, MADE WITH LOVE AND CARE, DELICIOUSLY AUTHENTIC AND IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT. So with all of that being said, stop reading Yelp and go get some of this food. And by the way, get me some too. read more

Found a great place to stop for a bite near Burbank Airport. There is a quick order side to the restaurant, and a bar side with nice booths and waitress service. I had the ceviche tostada. I saw a waitress eating it in the back, so I figured it was good. Only $4.75 for a large plate with a big pile of tasty ceviche. Yum! I also had a small carnitas taco. Very crispy carnitas. Very friendly service. I would definitely return! read more

Took a lot of time to get food. We were a party of 3 first we got one plate 15 minutes later we got another plate and 15 minutes later the third plate had to ask for napkins, utensils, limes and tortillas because the waitress couldn't think that we needed those things. Then we had to wait 20 more minutes to get the bill. They couldn't pick up the dishes either. Left on table. The fish was over cooked the service was horrible. Better service at the food truck! Not coming back any more read more

Any time I feel under the weather I agree I order one of their Caldo's for delivery. Nice portions, perfectly prepared.

**Review is solely on customer service. Went for dinner today, place was empty, was brought chips and salsa however after 20 minutes of waiting for service finally decided to walk out. I could have understood if it was busy but considering we were the only customers I don't understand. We offered to pay for the chips and salsa however the waitress didn't seem to care and basically told us to leave. Please save your time do not come here only to turn around and find another restaurant read more

Chips & Salsa is pretty good! They give you two types; red & green salsa, I preferred the green. Also tried the table guacamole and it was rather bland so you may want to doctor it up a bit with some lime and salsa both of which they give you on the table. I ordered the chili keyless and chicken fajitas to try and here are my thoughts. Ok First with the chili keyless, I ordered it without sour cream and as you can see from the picture I attached they added sour cream. LoL Ok no big deal easy fix. Well I thought it was very good, had a red chili sauce with a rather sweet taste to it wasn't hot at all actually very mild. The rice and beans were good nothing standing out about them but it went well with the meal. Final verdict was really good order it again. The chicken fajitas were actually quite different from what I'm used to, they use chicken thighs and legs not chicken breast so it's more oily etc. so I wasn't to crazy about this dish and probably won't order it again. I asked the server if they could substitute it with chicken breast next time and they said no, that's all they have just legs and thigh meat. In all I think it was a great experience very traditional. As for me it's definitely not my top pick for a Mexican restaurant but I don't regret trying the experience and I don't think you will either. read more

I have been here twice. Once inside Costa Azul for sit down brunch with the family, that was FOUR STARS! The mojarra frita, shrimp burrito, and the camarones al ajo were on point!!! Great micheladas, too!!! I came back and ordered a shrimp torta and shrimp taco from next door(same restaurant). The lady assured me they use little mayo on the torta I would never taste it, she lied!!!! It was nasty, I hate mayo and it was slathered on the dry, stale bread to try to save it!!! I left that to have the taco, which I asked for no Tartar sauce, well, they put extra, nasty, sweet AF, Tartar sauce!!! Apparently, they mix it in with the Pico de Gallo. Lady at the window, you need to listen to your customers. You saw how displeased I was with my food when I threw it away, and still asked me to "come again soon." The best part of my meal that day were the frijoles and chips they served while we waited. Costa Azul sorry to bring your rating down, but you need to put a wall up between the two restaurants and leave the tartar sauce out of your tacos completely!!!!! read more

Love the Frida mural outside!!! I enjoy my meals here but service *sigh*... I just think they are understaffed. 2 servers for the whole joint even on busy nights & weekends. The food is darn tasty though. You get a good amount of ceviche when you order the tostada de ceviche. They have cucumbers with sal y limon as a side. Their camarones costa azul is a good pick. Deep fried bacon wrapped jumbo shrimp served with rice, beans & french fries. Their taquitos come with all sorts of goodies like pico de gallo, jalapeños, radishes, a little sour cream & guacamole. Not too far from home so I do frequent this place every so often. A safe bet but not the best bet. Your Homegirl, Violy read more

My co worker and I order caldo de res last week. We ordered online. We got it with no issues. When my coworker handed me my meal it smelled funny. When I opened the rice container it smelled like it was bad and it looked like it had maggots. I didn't eat it. But unfortunately my coworker did. I called and I spoke to someone named Jr. Said he was going to refund us for the meal. I calls again to follow up. And a lady argued with me and said I was lying. But 1 week later there's still no refund. And my co-worker got sick. Never again. read more

2 restaurants in the same building with no discernable seperation between the two. Be aware that the corner is Pueblo Nuevo taqueria and the other is Costa Azul, the actual restaurant, with booths and all. We went to the taqueria which is mediocre at best. My wife ordered the Carne Asada tacos, to be safe. They were small and not at all flavorful, unless you like the taste of plain tortilla. We ordered a carne asada torta, for the kids to share. The bread to meat ratio was completely off. Plenty of bun, with essentially no meat. I ordered the fish taco combination. Crunchy fish tacos in a store bought tortilla. Plenty of lettuce and tartar sauce. They tasted ok, not great. It came with a side of beans and salad with sour cream as the dressing. We will not be eating here again, but it definitely is edible... Take the review for what it's worth, short to the point... read more

Ordered a similar le bean and cheese burrito to go with some other people from work. There was a toothpick in my burrito. And a chicken bone with some meat on it. No one in my office is ever going back. Years ago I went to this place to try it out. Maybe ten years ago. I can't remember why , but I vowed then never to go back then as well. Zero for two. H read more

Carne Asada Combo was a solid 5 stars. I really enjoyed the Asada. Beans & Rice were tasty; wish I had more. The Horchata wasn't watered down and had plenty of flavor. The menu pictures should be redone because the food looks better in person than the pictures they provide on the sign. I'd definitely go back again. read more

Tacos and the meats are too bland and are lacking of flavor, would never recommend this place to anyone. Your better off buying tacos from jack in the box. read more

This is by far the dirtiest restaurant ever. The bar area is surrounded by huge 15 gallon trash bins without lids. The parking is horrible on the weekend that I went. I ordered the Filete a la Mexicana. It must have been the sauce or undercooked, but is was so soggy. The staff is inattentive. Come on. I'm at the bar, where you should have water and my glass is right in front of you. WTF! The only upside is that their free chips and salsa were good. read more

Costa Azul has been a burbank staple for years and some would say even a hidden gem. The aguachiles and micheladas are great and the staff is always welcoming and friendly. If you are in the mood for great mariscos make sure you check this place out. read more

I've only had one item from Costa Azul so far but my goodness! I will be back and soon! Their Al Pastor quesadilla was crispy, perfectly spiced, comes with all the fixins and not to mention it was a good deal. read more

I've been coming here since I was a little girl, but hadn't been in a few years. My bf and I decided to come here for dinner and it was a hit. He ordered the fish soup (7 mares) and 2 fish tacos. I ordered 2 crunchy chicken tacos w/rice and beans. He loved his soup and he's pretty picky about seafood. I tasted his fish tacos and they were absolutely delicious. My tacos were ok but the rice and beans made up for it. The waitresses here are very attentive to your needs and friendly. The entire place is well kept up and very clean which is nice. There's a lot of space and flat screens to watch as well. They have a small bar away from the main dining area. They also have a taqueria attached to the side of this restaurant which is technically a different place but I believe it shares the same ownership/kitchen. I've been to both and have been happy with both; the only difference is that the restaurant side is more geared toward seafood dishes. My bf and I will def be back and will prob bring family too. This is definitely a locals spot and it's a great family-oriented place. read more
