Seafood oriented menu, not your typical Tex-Mex. Good margaritas and a good selection of other drinks. Highly recommended for a change of pace. read more

Very good! Did not eat any seafood this time and it was great. Service was friendly!

It's always a great experience when dining in at Costa. My wife and I spent the morning furniture shopping and were exhausted. We wanted something light and somewhat healthy. Costa was a no brainer as they have plenty of options. I decided to go with the Tostada Loka! This is loaded with fish ceviche, shrimp, octopus and crab! Extremely tasty and very filling! So much for a light snack. My wife tried the Gobernador tacos. Shrimp cooked with poblano pepper and grilled cheese. Perfect crunch and flavor! I've had this before and really enjoy this flavor combination. Definitely worthwhile of a 4 star review! Our server Ruben, who we've had before, it's just top notch and always makes sure we have a great experience. Ruben adds the additional star for his outstanding service. read more

I am a Foodie - if you knew me, you would understand. If not so crazy in love with my wife for over 32 years, I would marry the food from Costa Pacifica. I truly believe they have some sort of "Love Potion #9" sauce that they pour onto everything that comes out of the kitchen. Why they have a Happy Hour menu that allows people to eat at almost half price is a Sacrilege and complete mystery to me. From our sincerely delightful server Humberto's laughing eyes (he was masked to comfort any who may yet be COVID concerned) to the chips (hand made and artistically hand cut corn tortillas) and vibrant/smooth mystic green Tomatillo Sauce AND rustic orange Habanero Sauce (No no! It has been brilliantly prepared and does NOT destroy a single taste bud in your mouth but simply caresses your tongue and cheeks) my wife and I began one of the most surprising eatable delights in our recent 1-year escape from California to the truly Golden State of Texas. I will not go into the surprisingly bountiful portions of the dinner items we each selected, nor will I attempt to put into words the absolute ecstasy of each bite - only because you need to stop reading this and go to Costa Pacifica. Now. Though I had eaten much more than one should, when I discovered that the kitchen makes all of their desserts, I HAD to order their Tres Leches. It is indeed a holy trinity in texture, flavor (just the perfect amount of sweetness) and silky, creamy, milkiness! Although we have found a wonderful church family here in San Antonio, Costa Pacifica will be our "other" place of gathering for giving thanks to God for His great goodness in bringing us to the amazing promised land of Texas! read more

I had an amazing time at Costa Pacifica!! Everyone was super friendly from the moment you walked through the door. The drinks were super tasty but the margarita was my favorite. The presentation of the food was A+; you could tell that time, effort and a little bit of love was put into each and every dish that came out. From the appetizers to the main course to the deserts everything tasted amazing and was very flavorful! I even loved the history portion that was told to us about the restaurant and owners! Thanks to Yelp I will start making this place a routine visit! They said they have an amazing happy hour so I definitely wanna check that out! read more

I don't review businesses as often as I wished I would. However, this place is too good not to say something. The Guava Mezcalita and house Margarita were so good. The nachos were the best we've ever had and the seafood tasted so fresh. The ambiance was wonderful and the service was very quick. We spent $70 (for 2 people) before tip and thought the prices were very reasonable considering the great quality! Would definitely recommend! read more

We came for Mother's Day around 3pm we were a large party of 17 people, the service was pretty bad and the food is not good at all. It is an overly priced place for not so good food. Our food ticket of two with 3 drinks and ceviche plates was $138. Never going back. All of our party was very dissatisfied with this place, not recommended. read more

The seafood lives up to your expectations. We loved the Ceviches. Amanda was a terrific waitress.

Lovely place with great drinks, cute outdoor seating, and a very nice selection of seafood from tacos, empanadas, caldos, etc. Happy hour is for both food and drink and there is all dah HH in Monday's and Tuesday's (if I remember correctly). My fav dish is on the appetizer menu and it is called the sashi tommy and it is seared tuna with a side salad of lettuce, picked onion, jalapeño, and a beautiful amount of avocado. Alllll on a bed of sauce that is divine. Get it as your main dish and you won't regret it. Cute place. Come here! read more

I came to Costa Pacifica a couple of days ago and was so excited to try their food. I have heard many great reviews of the service and was ready to try it myself. Boy I was in for a surprise! I tried many dishes they had and all were excellent. I started off by trying their Chihuaheno drink and was okay overall. The presentation is great, the cups are cute and rimmed with tajin. The drink however was okay. It felt like I was drinking a raspa. A very seasoned raspa. Secondly I ordered a Costa Azul Margarita and really enjoyed that one. It has the right amount of tequila and margarita. Two fo these bad boys and you are good. Over all the service is great and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Customer service is great and happy to have come to Costa Pacifica. I tried the following: Guacamole Costa - This is literally an avocado tower. How great can that get?! Taste is fantastic and the avocado was green and yummy. Shrimp Ceviche - Talk about freshness sea goods! Just great. Tuna Carpaccio - This is good for a group who are drinking and want so fresh foods. It is well seasoned and liked the presentation. Costa Pacifica fish - Very well fried fish. It was well seasoned and overall great presentation and texture of food. Shrimp Party Platter - This large platter can easily feed 2-3 people. Portion is large and their variety of seafood in the platter is great. Texture is also great and over all liked it. Mariner Rice - Almost like a Paella. very delicious. Mango shots - Great! Thanks Costa Pacifica you guys are definitely a 5 star restaurant! -P.S. I will be making a a stop very soon. Luis, read more

Service is slow and wait staff is not very responsive, average at best. I ordered the shrimp and grilled fish tacos. It took a long time and food quality was mediocre. I didn't care for the loud Hispanic pop/dance music blaring in the background of outdoor seating. Overall, not a pleasurable dining experience, not recommended. read more

Still a huge fan of their HH and still after a few years their prices are unbeatable! A frozen margarita for $2.99 and a small up-charge to make it a flavored one. HELL YEA, SIGN ME UP The HH menu is extensive and seriously won't break the bank. I really do enjoy their HH nachos and am obsessed with their empanadas filled with delicious meat and cheese. Service has gotten so much better with my recent visits so I'm definitely happy about that. If you're in the area then I highly recommend swinging by! read more

For a nice dinner we couldn't find at home, Costa Pacifica was damn near perfection. Took a leap, and dove into this place. Great seafood plates, empanada sampler plate was delicious. The drinks were amazing. The Mrs had a winerita, and Cantelito del Patron really was the best to wind down a rough week. Live Music was an added bonus. Everyone had smiles on their faces, our waitress Mariana (I hope, place was hoppin'!) made our evening very enjoyable! read more

I had heard this was a solid place I should try. Finally did stop in and wow was it a huge disappointment. They were fairly busy for a week night and got a table on patio. Started off with a margarita. All I tasted was triple sec. Ordered shrimp nachos and calamari for appetizers. The nachos were basically just tiny shrimp with tomato sauce poured over them and cheese on top. Wasn't very appetizing. Although it managed to be better than the calamari. The calamari came with tarter sauce, which I've never seen before. I asked for cocktail sauce and they didn't know what cocktail sauce was. Was told they didn't have cocktail sauce but would bring me something else. What they brought was tomato juice, which is the same thing that was poured over the shrimp nachos. Thankfully they didn't charge me for the calamari. For my entree I ordered snapper with butter garlic sauce. The fish tasted frozen and came in two weird square blocks. Fish was over cooked and dry. The sauce was okay but the flavor wasn't absorbed into the fish. It tasted like they cooked the fish and just poured butter garlic sauce over it. Best part of my meal was my second drink which was a glass of Cab off their happy hour, which I believe was only $3. They have some cheap happy hour drink specials but the food isn't worth the stop. The happy hour drinks seems to be what they are pushing here as it's definitely trying to be more of a bar/night club than restaurant. read more

It was Saturday around 2:30pm, we tried to get a table here and gave up waiting. It was not very busy - I mean plenty of open tables but no one came to acknowkedge us waiting at the small entrance. I cant imagine what the service would have been like if we had stayed there. After almost 15 min someone finally approached us only to tell us there was a 15 minute wait. It was the same person who was passing by repeatedly from inside the restuarant that never even acknowledged us. There was one family waiting there even before we got there. At this point we walked out and said forget it. Terrible! read more

Love the food... authentic Mexican seafood cuisine. Try the Tuna Carpaccio and beer for appetizer. Great ambiance during Mexican or World Cup games. Just came out with chicken soup for flu season which is excellent! Also new on menu is surf- Turf taco for lunch... excellent! read more

I came to this place with a couple of friends on a Thursday night. It wasn't as packed as I thought it was going to be. So the service was great. I ordered the chicken and cheese empanadas. Full of flavor, super good. It comes with a small thing of rice and some refried beans. The price is also super cheap. It was about five bucks for two empanadas on a plate. The server was great. There is also karaoke outside on the veranda. . read more

Costa Pacifica is a fun place a nice atmosphere and good drinks. Service continues to be great and has always been great as we have been coming here for several years. But, it seems that the quality of the food has gone down in the past couple of months. We ordered shrimp aguachile and the taste was good but the shrimp did not seem to be fresh and were mushy. Also had the shrimp tacos Pacifica; there must have been 4-5 tiny shrimp in each taco and they were also mushy. The cheese in the quesadilla was minimally present. Unfortunately, neither was as tasty as in the past. I will say that the chicharron de ribeye was excellent. Maybe we have just had bad luck with the food the past couple of months. We plan to return with hopes that the old flavor of Costa Pacifica also returns. read more

Went on a Sunday. They had a DJ and patio atmosphere was great. Got the calamari and thought it was meh. Hubby got the fish taco al pastor. I got the lobster tacos. The lobster tacos had SO MUCH melted cheese. It was essentially a quesadilla with a sprinkle of lobster. I was expecting less or no cheese. Did not enjoy it unfortunately. The manager did swing by and ask us how we were. It was nice of them to check in. Would try again.. for the atmosphere alone but maybe different food. read more

My review is two-fold, and I'm leading with CP's current pandemic practices, because I believe that we all must work together to support our community, both the businesses and the customers that patronize them. I would not give a passing grade to Costa Pacifica on social distancing; in fact, had the wait staff not been wearing masks, I would not have known SA is experiencing its biggest surge in the worst pandemic in modern history. The restaurant was crowded, it was hectic, it was loud, and the outside dining area has been enclosed so much that fresh air would not help circulate the air. Honestly, I want to give a TWO star for this, because I regret remaining on site and dining, I was so uncomfortable with the situation. I saw a single table blocked for distancing, where we were located in the front next to the "patio/outside." We had asked to be on the patio, but it would have made little difference. The restaurant was slammed, and the music was excruciatingly loud, forcing us all to yell to be heard, which means we were exposing each other even that much more to potential COVID transmission. As for the food and service, it was quite good. We enjoyed the Pacifica shrimp appetizer, mango margaritas swirled with chamoy, and the Popeye fish entree and clam chowder in a bread bowl. The soup was steaming hot and tasty, as were all the food items. Top marks for what the restaurant is in the business of providing! And post-COVID, I would return. But unless it's a slow night, or some things are tweaked for social distancing, I won't be dining in again; it'll be take-out only. read more

Please make sure your credit card is returned to you before you leave. I made the mistake of leaving my card on Aug 6th after I had spent $94.81. I didn't realize it was missing until today when I saw several charges that were not mine including Dick's sporting goods for $1006.62. Someone there had to use my card; there is a thief working at this location. In hindsight, I realized I never got my card back which tells me that the waitress or someone she works with is up to something there. read more

Oh my goodness, I almost went to another restaurant for dinner and I am so glad I came here instead. The service and food were excellent. The atmosphere was relaxing and the place is charming. My server was so kind and brought me a complimentary soup sampler for being there for the first time. Wow, those soups were incredible. I had the catfish and shrimp platter with spinach, roasted potatoes, and two hush puppies. Everything was delicious, good portions, reasonably priced. I am a fan of this place now and will be back. read more

If I could zero stars based on the experience this time I would. First off we ordered nachos from the happy hour menu and when they brought them they had shrimp. No where did it say shrimp. Last time we went we ordered the exact same thing and they were bean, meat and cheese. I asked what the rib eye appetizer was and the waitress said it was rolls. When they brought it, it was not rolls. When we got the bill they had tacked on a 3percent credit card fee with no notice. We cashed out since the waitress was leaving so she could get her tip. We kept ordering. They brought us a free drink to try. When we got the second bill they had overcharged us for some shots we ordered to incorporate the fee for the drink. When I pointed it out they took my card (you can use a QR at the table) and said they would fix it. The second bill they added another 3% fee that the wrong bill didn't have. Check all of your bills as they are taking advantage of customers. Also- if they are going to automatically add a fee they should give advance notice so that if a person wants to pay cash they can---SHADY!!!!!! read more

This place really takes you there. To the coast. The central(or south) american coast. Whether you want it fried whole or cured in citrus, it's all available. The waiter even told us about a guac featuring tuna and mushroom! I was very impressed with everything we got: fish tacos, ceviche tostadas, guac tower, and even a fish enchilada. It was a brought out quick and presented beautifully. The waiter was extremely attentive. He even caught up with us in the parking lot because I FORGOT MY PHONE ON THE TABLE. What a hassle that would have been, but he saved the day! Very nice place. And you can probably always catch a soccer game on the TV while your there! read more
