Love this place! You aren't going to get better Mexican food in the area! Definitely check them out and try all the great food they have! And of course wash it down with a jumbo frozen margarita! Omg and the cheese dip!! A must!

Located in rural Missouri, this restaurant is likely not "on your way" to your next errand. However, it's surprisingly good considering how far it is from the border. It's definitely worth a stop, and is one of the shining stars in Cameron. The prices are reasonable, and the staff are affable. AmEx is accepted here.

This Mexican restaurant is amazing. We always get amazing service when we eat here. The staff is very friendly and welcoming which keeps us coming again and again. The decor is cute and homey as well. Now on to the food! It's BOMB! Every time we come we try something new and it's always amazing and the flavor is what this town needs.

A server greeted us as soon as we were seated. We asked for ice water as we didn't know what beverages to order yet. The server provided us with ice water, plus chips and 2 containers of salsa. The chips and salsa were good that we had to ask for more tortilla chips. I ordered a Fajita Taco Salad with chicken, plus I asked for extra fajita vegetables and my friend ordered Chicken Fajitas. The lunch entrees were delivered to our table without delay. I specifically asked for additional grilled fajita vegetables and I even said that I would pay extra, but I did not receive what I asked for. Instead I was provided with extra black beans in the Fajita taco salad. I did not request for black beans. I did not want to return the entree to the kitchen and I just dropped the small issue as I just wanted to eat lunch. The Fajita Taco Salad was satisfactory in taste, but the black beans mixed in the taco salad made the taco shell soggy. My friend liked the Chicken Fajita lunch entree and the portion size was decent. I will go back to La Costa Mexican again to try other entrees.

This was our first time coming to this Mexican restaurant, and we consider ourselves to be Mexican…read morefood snobs! Ha! We love our Mexican food! The inside of the restaurant is classic industrial, cozy, super casual, and has a fun upbeat vibe. Everyone serving in the restaurant at all different levels is very kind and friendly. When we sat down, we were brought the typical basket of tortilla chips, along with their homemade salsa... And an extra surprise was there Mini bowl of queso dip. It was creamy and yummy. The salsa wasn't as spicy as we prefer, but it was decent. Our sever took our drink rider which were margaritas. They have a very long list of all types of flavors of margaritas... Are you in the mood, this is a place to go! They also offer three different sizes in the margaritas, plus a ton of other drinks as they have a very large bar. It was a Saturday night, so It was pretty crowded, but there was not a wait for a table. Our waitress brought back our margaritas, but it took her over 35 minutes to get to our table to even take our dinner order. At least they brought us three baskets of chips to hold us over! After a little over a half hour, she came back to our table and asked us if we were still waiting for our food... We explained to her that she never actually took our dinner order to begin with. We ordered street tacos and jalepeno cream cheese ans chicken enchiladas... black beans and rice. Everything was tasty. We were starving at this point because it was almost an hour when our food arrived. She apologized for forgetting about us in between the tables served before us... It was worth it... however, we will order for take out next time. Waiting at our table and having 30 min between a margarita and a meal was too long for our liking.

First time coming here. Very good! Really nice inside, think it used to be a pizza ranch…read more They give you a cheese dip when you sit down along with the chips and salsa so that was nice. Our server was very attentive and nice. They sang happy Birthday for my sister's birthday. The shrimp tacos dep Rio was good! Rice and beans were good too. I do want to mention that nothing in my shrimp tacos seemed seasoned. Like no pepper or anything. Shrimp was kinda bland and so were the veggies but still good. Absolutely loved the coconut margarita! Love that they put coconut around the rim too. Definitely will come back.

We got the lunch combo #1 which was a taco and enchilada with either rice or beans (cheese enchilada and shredded beef taco) and a shredded beef chimichanga with both rice and beans. The salsa that came out was delicious and fresh; same with the chips. Best salsa and queso in the enchilada that I have ever had. The shredded beef was tender beef cubes with an amazing flavor. My new go to spot for Mexican food!

Our waitress disappeared shortly after taking our order and, from what we were told, left to get herself a Red Bull. Meanwhile, my husband and kids waited about 10 minutes before they even got their drinks, and we were rarely checked on after that. The food wasn't much better. The steak was extremely tough and difficult to eat, especially for the price. Because service is a big part of the dining experience, we chose not to leave a tip. We believe tips are earned through good service, and unfortunately, we didn't receive that. As we were leaving, our waitress asked if something was wrong. My husband is an honest person, especially when someone asks directly, so he politely explained our experience. Instead of apologizing or trying to make things right, she yelled, "Well, don't come back!" We had already decided we wouldn't be returning, but that response confirmed we made the right decision. Everyone has bad days, and we understand that. However, poor service followed by an unprofessional reaction to honest feedback is not acceptable. Sadly, we won't be back.

Tired of burgers and fries I decided to grab something different. After driving through town, it…read moreappeared the only non fast food options included Chinese, Mexican, and a diner that looked pretty busy. I was more interested in getting home so decided on KFC for a quick meal through the drive thru that I could pull over and eat and be back on the road. I got one of the bowls with some extra chicken bites. They were very efficient getting me my food and the guy working the drive thru was very friendly. The food was standard KFC. The bowls always are lacking in chicken as they put one chicken strip on it. The bites are probably the best chicken pieces/bites/nuggets you can get at fast food places. After pulling over to eat, I was really disappointed that I was not provided a fork or spork. If they thought I could eat with my hands, they also could have provided napkins being I had mashed potatoes and gravy. Food and hospitality good, attention to detail poor.

Usually when I see this low of a star rating on a fast food joint I assume it's just because…read moresomeone didn't like the food, or they are just saying that it's lowbrow. I typically shrug it off and go anyways because sometimes it's a fantastic experience and the low star rating is not warranted. Unfortunately this was not the case at this Taco Bell location in Cameron. I found myself in Cameron around 6pm on a Sunday after a long drive from the twin cities. I'd met my friend here to carpool to and from a baby shower a few days prior and needed to drop her off and get back on the road to KC. I had about an hour left in my drive and was hungry so thought, why not pick up a burrito to go for dinner. I hadn't been to a taco bell in a long time so I looked online to see what to order and planned on a cantina chicken burrito. It said it was around 600 calories and $7 just for the single burrito so I figured it would be enough for a full meal. When I got inside I found a very lackluster Taco Bell. The restrooms could have been cleaner and the employees more friendly, but alas I was there for a quick bite so I ordered and waited. I got my burrito and made my way to my car to continue on my journey and opened up my bag to prep my burrito for the drive home. It was honest to god the smallest burrito I've ever seen in my life. So small that I wondered if I got the right thing? I'm still not sure, but I unrolled it to put hot sauce in and I had a hard time even seeing any chicken at all. I ate the whole thing in about three bites and decided I needed to stop at QT to get something else to eat or I wasn't going to have any dinner before I needed to put the kids to bed when I got home. Long story short - this was an incredibly disappointing visit on all fronts and I'll not stop here again.
