Top notch hole in the wall Mexican food. The burrito was huge and the carne asada was full of flavor and super tender. Baja fish tacos were also delicious. Staff was friendly and food came out pretty quick. Just an excellent experience all around and will definitely be back read more

The fish tacos are really good but I've had their burrito and quesadillas and they're very mid. Unfortunately, the Mexican food I've had wasn't good. They burnt my quesadillas, I live far so I didn't bother going back. read more

Decided to stop by to get some seafood tacos since it was Friday. Food was great. The batter was just the right amount and not overpowering. I was waiting them to call me and pick up my order from the counter but was pleasantly surprised when they brought out it to my table. It was literally 5 feet away and could have called me up but took that extra "mile" to bring it to me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the fact that they were blasting the AC since it's was so hot outside. Felt refreshing and it helped with the spicy but delicious salsa[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

Food 2/5: super dry grilled fish, carne asada, grilled shrimp. The only thing ok was Baja battered fish. I would just never come back, actually mad for the first time eating this over priced tacos. Never again. read more

Still the go to fish taco spot around! I alternate between the Baja and Costa Grande style depending on how I'm feeling. Baja has a nice chipotle aioli while the costa grande uses a tarter slaw. The fish is always nicely battered with a solid crunch. It doesn't feel greasy like other spots and the fish is a good size. My wife usually gets their costa grande burrito wet with red sauce. The burrito is massive, easily double the size of a normal burrito. The red sauce has a good kick to it and the asada has good flavor. Another bonus is that they always give you fresh chips with each meal and plenty of salsa. Workers are always super nice and friendly. Truly a gem of a place in the valley. read more

I'm assuming this is a family business. Their cook is maybe the Mom? And she kills it in the kitchen! She's quick and consistent. Their portion is huge. From time to time, they forget something in the order, so always check if you're getting to go order (especially if it's a side order). Parking is difficult on busy times, but other than that, you'll be fine. I love their flan, carne asada fries, and even their burger options is enjoyable! I'm giving 5 stars because their food quality is 6/5, despite the 4/5 consistency on getting the order complete for to go orders. read more

Casual spot for Mexican food, but the burritos were too salty. I came by because it's close to the Van Nuys bus terminal. It was very convenient to grab a quick meal here before picking someone up at the bus terminal. It wasn't crowded at all on a Monday evening around 7 pm when my friend and I arrived. I ordered a battered fish taco ($4.69) and a Costa Grande burrito with carne asada ($13.69). The fish taco with fried perfectly, but I did find it a bit on the bland side even with the aioli. The burrito was okay, but I found it extremely salty and had trouble eating it because of that. Also, it was a spicier than expected. Portions were big at least, I ate about 2/3 of the burrito and took the remaining 1/3 home. My friend got the veggie burrito ($13.69) and enjoyed it, but he also agreed that it was super salty. read more

Service was friendly and the chicken taquitos were yummy. They had plenty of guac, sour cream and pico to go with them.

Saw the high reviews and was excited to try, but this place fell short of our expectations. We got several of the shrimp and fish tacos, and the tacos themselves are quite large and unwieldy. I don't think the shrimp or fish tacos were particularly well done relative to other places, the battered fish and shrimp were definitely disappointing to me. We went in about an hour before closing and they said they were takeout only, so we ended up eating in the car which I thought was a bummer. read more

We were craving nachos and did a deep dive on Yelp. We ended up at Costa Grande. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's definitely a hole in the wall! If you are looking for ambiance, this is not your place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff are lovely. I ended up getting chicken nachos. I asked the employee if she recommended shredded chicken or regular, and she said regular. The cheese was more of a liquid cheese which I prefer. However, it was very oily. The flavor of everything was good. And I am particularly picky about chicken, but this chicken was good. I probably won't be back because it's not hear me. read more

Great food, generous portions and reasonable prices. Love the chicken taquitos and their burritos.

Great food. Taco Tuesday! We had tacos and burritos. California burrito, asada without fries and rice, and a Costa Grande burrito. Both were ginormous, packed, and delicious! The tacos were great too. The young ladies there were very friendly. Super experience. Fabulous food and service! A hidden gem! read more

I'm coming back but it's not a 4star. Why? I'm a chilaquiles snob. They didn't ask how I wanted my egg and they made my egg huevo en torta (not usually a fan). They did ask me green or red sauce.the green sauce that I chose was on the sour side. To sour for that type of egg in my opinion. The tortillas in the chilaquiles were soggy. I like them crispy. BUT. THE INGREDIENTS THEMSELVES ARE GOOD. The red sauce is tasty and a perfect spicy! (On the hotter end), and their beans , rice and table chips on the side are good! AND THE ASADA, omg. their asada is fyeee. The horchata was decent as well. Do you see my dilemma? The things I'm coming back for: THE ASADA AND THE FISH BATTERED TACO CASA GRANDE STYLE. The fish battered WAS PERFECT. the slaw and tortilla that came with it were mid. BUT I AM COMING BACK TO EAT THAT PERFECT BATTERED FISH TACO NO TORTILLA hahaha. The chipotle sauce one was ok. But the texture, fluffy, crispy ratio was heavenly. read more

I had been wanting to try this place after reading the reviews. It's not easy to find but I made sure to zero in on my GPS map to find the exact location without getting lost. We ordered a Baja fish taco/grilled shrimp taco combo & a carne asada/chicken taco combo. Both came with rice and refried beans. (I would have preferred black beans but it wasn't an option) They were both good. *The prices need to be updated online since they didn't match when we ordered. *It's off of Sepulveda just south of Sherman Way across from CVS in a strip mall just behind McDonald's. *Free parking in the lot read more

Absolutely bonkers asada fries if I could just write wow and that be it I would. We ordered our fries to go drooled the whole way home smelling it opened them up and they were still piping hot. These were some of the best asada fries I've had in my entire life. Get the fries the rest of there food looks and smells amazing and if it's near as amazing as the fries go for it I had a mission to accomplish that day to get the best asada fries I could find and I found them. read more

We wanted to stop by a taco place before hitting LA and found this hidden gem on yelp. I'd totally go back to try more! Food (5/5): If you eat in (also maybe takeout), they give you warm chips and salsa. I got the grilled shrimp taco and it was delicious. I wasn't terribly hungry so one taco was good enough. My boyfriend got three tacos as he was hungry and it filled him up. He agreed that the shrimp taco out of the three he got was the best. Ambiance (4/5): [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have two TVs, which were both playing American football and there were many tables, but we were the only ones there so we got the whole restaurant to ourselves.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom was relatively clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service (5/5): The staff was friendly and quick. We got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. Parking: Weird lot but plenty of spots as they share the parking lot with a laundromat and a few other businesses. read more

Hungry after a 12 hour shift and this place slaps as a late night meal. Got the shrimp and carne super fries, Cali Shrimp Taco and Elote. They have a very generous portion of fries, shrimp in both taco and fries were grilled well and super juicy. Carne was also juicy and not dry at all. Overall, so glad I discovered this hidden gem in the valley last minute. It was sort of hard to find but definitely worth it!! read more

The rumors are true, this is the best California Burrito in the San Fernando Valley. I ordered this to go but the service was quick and to the point. I asked for a carne recommendation and the cashier had said carnitas, so that's what I got. So thankful that she said that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is tucked into this small shopping center but it is the highlight of it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now, for the main event. In size, this burrito's a little over 7" (had to measure) and has some weight to it. It's slightly toasted and served with tortilla chips, salsa rojo and salsa verde. If you're concerned, they're not spicy but taste amazing (go red). Frankly, I obliterated this burrito (see photos) because I was hungry and it felt disrespectful not to consume this beast in one sitting. For those of you unwilling to go that extra mile, I recommend wrapping this bad boy up in tin foil and enjoying later. Did it fall apart? Graciously towards the end. Did it pack a punch? The sour cream, fries, and guacamole were delicious without the aforementioned salsa's aid. Would I recommend? Yes. I went to the deep, dark ends of the web (Reddit) in search of a burrito to satisfy my craving and this was the best decision I made. So, when your burrito craving starts itching the back of your skull, make your next stop Costa Grande! read more

Was excited to finally try this place out after seeing the reviews but the burrito I got here was one of the worst that I've ever purchased from a store. Inside of the california burrito was for some reason mostly liquid and was disgusting. Food was flavorless and burrito fell apart immediately with too much sour cream and not enough filling. Not sure why people on yelp love it so much but I've had better burritos from almost any stand nearby. read more

First, let me start out by saying that the Baja Fried Fish tacos are HUGE! Had I known the tacos were that big, I would've only ordered one LOL! The tacos are delicious and the salsa is even better! I had a big back moment and ordered the Carne Asada Fries with jack cheese instead of the nacho cheese and without beans to take home. The fries were sooooo good! I asked for the nacho cheese on the side and dipped the fries in the cheese. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is clean and is located in a small strip mall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The customer service is great and I'll definitely back (but I will only order one dish taco next time lol!) read more
