Costa Pacífica left a good impression on me. It was my first time here and I decided to try the buffet option which I think is only during the day. It's unique you order three items at a time from the menu and the server brings them out to you. I will say the timing felt slow. Since each dish comes out in smaller sample portions, we were constantly waiting between rounds while ordering. It was worth it the food was delicious and it was fun to chat with my guests and have a more relaxed meal. I loved being able to try a variety of things from the menu. The chicharrón ribeye was definitely my favorite! I also enjoyed the pina colada it came in a coconut and tasted great. Overall experience was fun and different I enjoyed the vibe of this location. Very laid back by the beach type of energy. I'd absolutely come back again to try more dishes. read more

I had never been here before I had a lot of friends recommended to me. I want to to sit at the bar, but the car seats were full, so I sat at a high table that was near the bar. My server seemed very inexperienced. I didn't even get his name because he didn't talk much at all. He checked on the only once. He didn't refill my water or ask if I wanted another margarita I had to flag down somebody else to get me to go container. The server was standing only about 2 feet away and was texting on his phone. then I asked him if I could close out and I paid on the handheld and he just walked off he didn't say anything like thanks for coming or anything like that. It was kind of like he was annoyed to be there. Sucks. Food was delicious though. read more

Tonight, we visited @costapacificasa for dinner. Happy hour is between 3pm and 6pm. All Day Mondays and Tuesdays. Hubby and I had the Margarita. We all shared the Mango Ceviche, Ribeye Carpaccio, and Coconut Shrimp. We ordered just enough food. Everything was tasty. Glad we rediscovered this place. Consistent good quality food. Luis was our attentive server. read more

Costa Pacifica is "A-okay". Food: 3.5 stars Service: 3 stars Drinks: 3 stars Atmosphere: 3.5 stars I dined here on a weeknight for just apps and drinks. There's a decent size covered patio and the standard inside seating options. The patio had a DJ set up that was ideal for a"party" atmosphere. We decided to sit inside near the bar for a slightly quieter area. We ordered the jalapeno margarita, Pina colada, fish ceviche and shrimp cocktail. The drinks were just okay. The service was friendly, but just okay as well. The shrimp cocktail and fish ceviche were pretty tasty. Definitely wouldn't mind ordering those again if I return. I did see that there are daily drink specials and music most nights of the week. Overall Costa Pacifica is great option if you want to meet up with a group of friends for a casual nightout. read more

I will start with not everyone complains when they are in the restaurant because we know it won't mean much. However, we walked in on a Friday evening, let's say to start we asked to be seated outside, the guy at the door said, 'it's reserved' proceeded to sit us in the bar area on a bar table for 2. We sat through dinner in a tiny bar top, and proceeded to see him seat 2 couples that were not part of a party as he took their orders separately. The outdoor area stayed empty through our dinner service ( except for the 2 couples that allegedly reserved the whole out door patio) . Now to the drinks, the corona was hot, the chispa was mediocre along with the service. We specifically asked for an appetizer to be brought out prior to the entree...this then turned to both items being brought out at the exact same time. The costa Pacifica fish was flavorless and the tuna carpaccio was like they took all the leftover bits of tuna and poured some sauce on it. I will say the sauce was actually good. The fish was flavorless 0 seasoning in the batter. Do yourself a favor and save your money for better service and food. read more

We had a large party about 24 people and they only had one server assigned to our section. 2 hours later 6 of us still didn't get our food. We asked for the manager several times he would drop in but immediately leave. He finally came to talk to us and totally blamed the server, never took responsibility. He said he'll bring us desserts to make up for the food, but the food should be out soon. 30 minutes later still no dessert. He came back said he'll comp our beverages, but food and dessert should be coming out. I received my food (fried fish and ceviche), they could have kept the fish. It was absolutely terrible but the ceviche was good. Dessert finally came out and it was delicious, I would have rather eaten the churros than the regular food. He also got the desserts wrong but they just kept it because they were hungry. Their food comes out and it's bagged up to go. No one asked for their food to go. The group was still there and everyone wanted to eat. 2 ladies said just forget it and left. 2 wanted to wait so they prepared it again and they shared the same opinion as me... terrible! We asked for the manager again, he came out and still blamed the server, poor girl did everything she should have and also should have had help. We find out the kitchen lost some tickets and other tickets were mixed in with other orders. It was a disaster, we all decided we will not return. read more

Happy hour margaritas are good, the ambiance is decent, and the service was a bit slow. As for the food... absolutely not.

Today we went to try their "All You Can Eat $25" tapas and it was beyond what we expected. Their portion sizes were just right because it gives you the opportunity to try dishes from their menu in smaller portions; and because of this experience, we now know what appetizers, main courses, and desserts we will be ordering in the future. Our waiter Jose Luis Palma was a wonderful waiter and beyond attentive to our requests and needs. My mother, sister, & I truly enjoyed our time this afternoon. The pictures shown below are just some of the tapas we tried. The Baja Shrimp Taco was beyond my favorite taco! The Fettuccini Alfredo was creamy, the pasta al dente, & the shrimps with it- delicious. The tostada de ceviche was fresh and it's literally the best ceviche in town- says my sister. The chicharron de ribeye was outstanding! The tortilla de maíz son hechas a mano y el arroz pollo, riquísimo! I've also had churros from other places BUT Costa Pacifica truly knows how to make a good churro! I'd recommend to get a side of ice cream to truly enjoy the cinnamon from the churros. #WonderfulSaturday #YummyFood #TrulyWorthThe25 read more

This is a good place to enjoy some Mexican style fish and seafood dishes. It's not inexpensive, but very affordable for a seafood spot. I've come to this restaurant many times, and I don't think I've ever had anything I didn't enjoy. The last time I came was during their happy hour. I ordered a glass of wine with an Noruega Tostada and an amazing Spring Salad. The food was excellent. Their seafood tostada choices are very flavorful and the salad was huge. Besides enjoying my get together, I love that Costa is very bright and airy. There is also an option to sit at their patio, which we didn't at this time, but is perfect for cooler weather. Service is always on point and never slow. Beyond doubt, this is a good choice for happy hour or just meeting friends. read more

The food is absolutely delicious! But I won't be enjoying any more meals at Costa Pacifica. I am disappointed and deeply frustrated. Today was my fourth visit to this restaurant, and unfortunately, the same pattern keeps repeating itself. I'm seated by the hostess, then completely ignored by the serving staff--while tables around me are attended to promptly and customers who arrive after me, always get service quickly. This is not an isolated event! Today, I waited about 15 minutes with no greeting, no water, no acknowledgment, while other guests received immediate service. Mine was the only Black family in the restaurant (per usual) and it's incredibly hard not to feel like that's a factor. When this happens once, it might be a fluke. When it happens four times, it's a pattern--and a painful one, especially having to explain the situation to my 5 year old. There was even an instance when my husband went unacknowledged picking up a curbside order. I've complained to the Manager, Fernando so they are aware! No one should feel invisible when they walk into an establishment. I had hoped for better. I won't be returning. read more

Food was great! We ordered the tuna capriccio, the mango ceviche and the torre libre. They were super fresh and full of flavor. Only complaint is the tortilla chips we got at the beginning were stale. We also ordered the micheladas and were made with Clamato, very yummy and huge. Service was great very nice. The music was great and the patio are offers nice shade. read more

I had to come and give this one a try but it's just plain low class, it seems forgotten and the service didn't even bother to speak English. The food was better here for some odd reason, since its the same name and branch you would expect the same food, definitely different. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! Wow the vibe was intimate but still so fun and the food was too reasonably priced bc it's so much for the price and the flavor wow. Im ofc Hispanic lived in Mexico for a while and I go back and forth and for me to praise mariscos in SA oof. The service is great! Fernando was an excellent server, super efficient, friendly and informative. Please give it a try but head the warning that if the server says it's spicy it's actually spicy! read more

Went here for lunch. First timer. It's a very cute place and there was plenty of seating. I ordered the coconut shrimp and the Baja beer battered shrimp tacos. The coconut shrimp was amazing :) The shrimp tacos were mediocre. I could have done without, there just wasn't much flavor. The wait time was pretty long but someone came out to apologize so that was nice. The waitress was very attentive. I think next time I'll try it out for happy hour. read more

I've always been a fan of Costa. They always have good music playing, it's clean, and service is usually good. Best time to come in my opinion is during their happy hour. Love the shrimp nachos, the gobrenador taco and the fried rice. Always delicious! When it comes to mixed drinks though, there is some room for improvement. Why have drinks posted on the website that you can order, but the waitstaff says they can't make it? The bartender says they can, but they have to google it. The drink I ordered was simply just crown apple, and peach schnapps. Literally is the most simplest thing to mix. Like I said, I'll still continue to come back for the food and the ambiance. Just need to work on the drinks. read more

It's hard to give this restaurant a fair review as there were so many problems that night. We were a large group with a confirmed reservation but when we got there nothing was ready for us and they didn't have servers for us when they finally got tables sat up in the room. The food and drinks took forever. Some left without their food. But I'm assuming this is not the norm so I'm just going on the plate of food I received. It wasn't the plate of food I originally ordered but was happy to have it. I think it was a shrimp salad but that's not on the menu but whatever it was it was tasty and delicious read more

Is this place a club, bar or a restaurant?? The music was excessively loud! The waitress couldn't hear us. We had issues hearing her. She struggled with her communication. She took the order incorrectly and said it couldn't be corrected because she had already submitted the order. The food we received was not good, no taste. The Ceviche was like juice it was watery not enough texture, very few shrimps. The other appetizer was something called Chicharon Chicken, which we didn't order. We didn't like or enjoy it. The waitress didn't bring us additional water or check on us. We were encouraged to go, we saw an advertisement on KSAT-12, but we were greatly disappointed! read more

1604 not good, seated immediately but long wait for waiter. While waiting, I looked at the "All Day Happy Hour" menu on official website since no menu from hostess, and decided on the salmon tacos. When waiter finally arrived, she said there are no Happy Hour salmon tacos. Slow service, food is meh...However, I do like the downtown location; I'll never return to 1604. read more

This place is always packed no matter at what time you arrive. I had the Mango margarita, which I was already singing Mariachis after the 1st one. Lol. The margarita was made with real mango pulp. Of course it was yummy. I had the Coconut Shrimp, rice, salad and a special sauce for the shrimp. The shrimp was fried at the right temperature, it was moist and the batter was crispy. The pieces of grilled pineapple complimented plate beautifully. The rice has a little bit of lemon juice which opened my taste buds and the need to have a little bit more of Shrimp. They had a band playing on a Friday night. Come on over and have some fun, I guarantee that you will love this place. What will make this place a 5 stars? Have a waiting list of 20 minutes or less instead of one hour. read more

Had not eaten here in a really long time but my wife wanted seafood and this seemed like a good choice. We came here for dinner on Friday night and it was quite busy but overall the experience was great. My wife had fish, my son had ceviche, and I had sliced ribeye tacos. All were very good and the portions were a good size. We had a great waitress who was very busy, and the only downside was the bar. We had to wait a really long time for our beers and there was plenty of people behind the bar and none of them looked like they were in much of a hurry at all. I may have that wrong but the optics of it were not great on a busy Friday night. I can tell you what the bartender shirt said because I read it over and over again as he was standing so still. Other than that we had a great experience. read more

This Mexican seafood restaurant has a great vibe and energy, I have been here many times and I even celebrated my birthday last year here. The food is great! I love the fried rice and the shrimp ceviche, all the tacos and enchiladas are delicious! Honestly EVERYTHING here is good! And drinks are not the exception, O like the Tamarindo Margarita, OMG so good! We came to celebrate my friend's birthday and our server Omar was amazing! Always checking if we needed water, keeping our table clean, making sure we had everything we needed, and always with a smile in his face! Loved his attention and attitude! Today I got Fish Popeye, it was grilled fish with a white creamy sauce and spinach, with white rice and salad, I liked it, portion was very generous, I even took some leftovers home! Today is Friday and they have live music, the ambiance is great! Perfect for a night with friends or your significant other. Come and check it out ! read more

Lunch meet up with same gal pal crew again! We decided to start with an order of Guacamole Costa to share while we perused our menu. This is always a chunky, lime-flavored, creamy item that we can share very easily with the 3 of us and tortilla chips on the side. It's one of our favorites and SOP for us! We had menus given to us but knew there's a lunch menu/happy hour menu but somehow we always have to ask to see it every weekday we've come for the last 2-4 times? It should be automatic? Anyway, we ordered from the lunch menu which is from M-F, 11am-3pm. You can choose from several items and it includes a glass of iced tea. I got the 2 piece Fish Tostada which includes 1 fish ceviche tostada & 1 noruega tostada with slices of fresh salmon served on a crispy corn tostada over a thin layer of fresh guacamole, topped with sliced onion and cucumber, chipotle aioli, and the special "Rasurada" sauce(which was also on the Guacamole Costa plate). It was served with a fresh green salad and a yummy lemony dressing. The fish tostada with diced fish was very tart & with lots of lime, chopped tomatoes and onions. Pucker-up lime flavor, actually. My friend ordered the Shrimp Ensenada Tacos which looked good. I think I'll try that next time. We both pondered the Fish Tacos but I asked what kind of fish they used and it was Tilapia. We both declined as we don't care for Tilapia which can sometimes have a dirty aftertaste. For dessert, my other friend wanted a Flan which was corn-based and a denser, less gelatinous texture. It was served topped with pecans. Very filling! Another nice lunch that satisfied our cravings and with great lunch prices!! read more
