    Tacos Tacos de Birria Combo

    Food is tasty and the loaded potato is delicious as well as the birria, but last time I got a type of napkin on the taco & a bone as well. And they barely had any of the birria.

    Had the tacos de maiz with tripa & trompo then the waiter said they were out of trompo so had to get bistek, bummer. The charro beans were descent nothing spectacular. Friend ordered the quesadilla plate. Rice was horrible to say the least, no salt no flavor just blanned. The beans were edible. The tacos on the other hand were pretty good. Liked the tortilla de maiz they came with a bit greasy which is totally normal, good portion of tripa & bistek. Service was OK. I've had better tacos elsewhere, probably won't be stopping by this place again anytime soon. Liked the setting, yellow light gives it a nice vibe. Drinks were priced average. The place was clean, parking lot as well.

    Had this food with some friends. I had the hamburger, which included guacamole inside and it was delicious!! The fries were nothing special but were still tasty. One friend had the torta and she thought it was really good!! Another friend had the papa which was rather large and had a lot of meat in it. He really enjoyed his meal.

    This place is pretty awesome. They have a variety of food and you can't go wrong with whatever you pick. The food is also decently priced. The only bad thing I could say is that sometimes it gets so busy that there's no parking and no room to sit, so if you stop by get there early! Other than that, this is a great place for tacos or a torta!

    I ordered 6 corn tortilla tacos with Fajita and a Baked Potato with cheese, butter, and sour cream. The tacos come in orders of 5 but the server ordered me an extra taco. Good God those tacos were amazing. The meat was super fresh and seasoned perfectly. Very juicy and oh so tender!!!! The tortillas were doubled and lightly toasted with a little bit of oil just the way I like them. Ok, The potato was HUGE! Between the three of us we were barely able to finish it. The flavor was ok but missing something (probably bacon) so why did I give this place three stars... the atmosphere, lighting, and outdoor seating was not my cup of tea. That's why this place is an Eeehhhh! for me.

    Insane Taco selection. Lonches were just like I remembered from Progreso. Great service. Live music. Every dish was tasty. Complimentary beans for appetizer

    I've ordered from here multiple times, and it just seems like it's getting worse. The tacos were not good at all.

    A Hidden Gem for Mexican Seafood -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more As a traveler from California in town for a swim meet, I was on the hunt for good Mexican seafood and stumbled upon La Costa Grill. Based on the reviews, I had decent expectations -- but this place blew them out of the water. The ratings honestly don't do it justice. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was warm and genuine. We were greeted by the hostess and seated right away, even during the lunch rush. Then came a wonderful surprise: our server brought out a mini skillet of the most incredible black refried beans for dipping, alongside four salsas ranging from mild to hot, all served with tostadas -- compliments of the house. Back in California, you're lucky to get one salsa, let alone refried beans as a free starter. It immediately set the tone for the meal. Our server was knowledgeable and genuinely helpful with recommendations. We ended up sharing a lunch portion of paella, an octopus taco, and a fish ceviche tostada -- and every single dish delivered. The octopus taco was a standout; served over a layer of refried beans, it was a flavor combination I didn't know I needed. The ceviche tostada was fresh and bright, and the paella was satisfying and well-seasoned. I also have to give our server extra credit for her transparency -- she mentioned upfront that the paella leans heavier on rice than seafood. That kind of honesty is rare and really appreciated. We ordered it anyway, and we were glad we did. If you're visiting McAllen and want authentic, flavorful Mexican seafood with outstanding service and hospitality, La Costa Grill needs to be on your list. I'll absolutely be returning before I head back home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Other than the meal, everything is served on styrofoam, utensils are plastic and cups are bad fast food plastic qualify. Con # 2: I asked the waitress if they had unsweet tea and pink packet sweetener. I asked about the pink packets 3 times and she said yes. She came back with yellow packets. I asked if they had pink packets and she said no. No to her. Con # 3: There are no free refills. I ordered two unsweet teas and the girl brought me two unsweet teas with yellow packets. So I asked for a sweet teas. They charged me for three Aqua Frescas. Charged $15. Hell no. Meh. Pass on a second visit.

    Another recent discovery here in Mission, TX. This small restaurant is off the main road in a strip…read moremall and seats maybe 40-50 people. The menu is simple but offers some variety. We were served a small plate with warm, crisp tortilla chips that were sprinkled with a seasoned powder (not Tajin) that was pretty salty. I shook off the powder as it made them too salty, even for my tastes. The greenish salsa was also a little salty but VERY TASTY and had a little kick. From where we were seated I observed the cook blackening the tomatillos on a grill in the kitchen. These were the backbone of this salsa. If it weren't quite so salty I'd be raving about them. I ordered a platter with three main items - Lonches, Sincronizada and Street tacos. All three items must be filled with the same protein, so I chose Birria. Other choices include pollo, bistek, trompo and fajita. The birria was nice and juicy and well seasoned. The Lonches were larger pieces of bread than I'm accustomed to finding, especially in Progresso, where they are quite popular. They were also toasted it seemed instead of being soft and pillowy. The street tacos were excellent with toppings of red onion and cilantro. The Sincronizada was something I'd never eaten before and was a smaller version of the one they serve as a main course. It was not the traditional dish which comes with slices of ham, but it was pretty good filled with birria. Charro beans were also served if I remember correctly. I ate one of the lonches, one of the tacos (the other I gave to my son) and the Sincronizada and was stuffed; leftovers for a later meal. The wife ordered the full version of a Sincronizada filled with pollo (chicken) and wasn't able to even finish half of it. It was huge! They brought us two bottles of salsa - a green salsa and a reddish/orange salsa. Both were pretty hot by my standards and the reddish one would absolutely hurt you if you added too much. So... a word to the wise... caution advised. They were quite tasty. All in all we will come back. I particularly want to try out some of their other proteins and their fajitas.

This place doesn't disappoint, I love everything, from the clean modern yet inviting ambiance to the café de olla and the Chilaquiles!

My favorite is the Tacos Llorarás (you will cry taco) which features a handmade corn tortillas stuffed with a chile relleno made of jalapeño and cream cheese, plus a flavorful beef birria.

Drinks are either Jamaica (aguas frescas style). This location is right across the road from the Sam's Club on South Jackson Road. There is additional parking in the back. Family friendly.
