Been coming here since high school. Wish they took cash, but they're reliable and very fast. Burritos are great.

A local staple I hear as I'm not a local I just work in downtown Brentwood. I tried their Asada tacos and shrimp tacos. Asada tacos were decent but I didn't care for their shrimp tacos. Didn't taste bad but it was interesting there were beans in the tacos. That was different for me. I don't remember what super burrito my brother got but it was huge. He liked it. Service was quick and easy. Lots of tables to sit inside or their covered patio with misters in the summer. read more

This place has been my favorite burrito place but the last time I went it seems like it was different, my burrito had to much tortilla on it. So I went to the other restaurant the next day and got the same thing, to much tortillas on my super burrito It was still very good but less inside stuff than before. read more

Great taco spot with fast and friendly service. We ordered a mix of tacos and burritos, and everything was delicious and well made. The flavors were spot on, and it's nice to see a good selection of vegetarian options as well. The ambiance is another highlight--there's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, so it never feels cramped. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy a relaxed meal, this place checks all the boxes. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving tacos done right. read more

Went on a Wednesday evening 40 minutes before closing. Ordered the 2 been and cheese burritos. Got home to find the tortilla burnt, leaking beans, and un-melted cheese inside. It was not pleasant food. How do you both burn and undercook it at the same time? read more

This place is a favorite! Friendly service delicious food and short waits! It's cash only though be prepared. We frequent this establishment regularly! read more

We really enjoy this establishment for the food and convenience, and the staff is wonderful!! The young lady who works the cashier is great! She takes the orders, handles the cashiering accurately, expedites the food, answers the phone... sometimes almost simultaneously! She is always welcoming and in a good mood, very friendly and polite. She also communicates easily in both English and Spanish. I'm so impressed! read more

La Costa - Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Brentwood, California

My wife and I wanted to try another new authentic Mexican food spot. Knowing this restaurant is located in Downtown Oakley it would be pretty busy on the weekend. I got takeout on the following orders: Super burrito with carne asada Super nachos with carnitas Horchata When I called, the gentleman had to put me on hold for about 5 mins. It was a long wait, but I can hear in the background that it sounded very busy so I understood. He finally took my order, gave me a number and ready in 7 mins. When I arrived, many people were in line so I was glad on ordering takeout. I walked up to the pick up line and gave my number. The lady handed me my order and I checked out. I asked if they already added sauce, but unfortunately I had to go to the salad bar and fill the horchata myself. Luckily, there was no line and you can grab the cup trays too. Even though the burrito was overcooked for me, the blend of all the ingredients made up for it so I actually enjoyed it. I had other super burritos that were much larger though. It's too bad the order does not come with chips and salsa. read more

This was recommended by a local, cash only! A big size burrito is about $10 and it is flavorful with super fast service. There are covered picnic type seating outdoor. The only downside is there is just one bathroom. I wish there are additional wash basin to wash hands. read more

La Costa is one of those spots you can always rely on when you want good food fast. Service here is super quick, which is one of the main reasons I keep coming back. My go-to orders are the asada burrito or the lengua burrito, and every now and then I'll switch it up and grab the al pastor tacos. Everything comes out hot, flavorful, and consistent. Price-wise, it's still pretty reasonable. I have noticed prices creeping up over the years, but not to the point where it's turned me off or made me stop coming. It still feels worth it for what you get, especially considering how fast the service is. read more

Went around 630pm and whoever was the girl working the register was very rude. No eye contact. Barely spoke to me. Didn't ask, what kind of meat, what kind of sauce etc..just stood there and I had to just say what I wanted on my own. When I tried to ask a question, she cut me off and just said, you need to ask them at the other window. Didn't even let me finish asking. When I was waiting for my food I noticed two people who came back and said their order was wrong. I got my food and got home and wouldn't you know it, my order was wrong. Had to call them up and drive all the way back for the correct order. I usually love La Costa but the service tonight was TERRIBLE read more

Very good and tasty food. Accommodating and friendly staff. Enough spacing parking. Very short before meal prepared time.

Great burritos & tacos, the food is good. The service is always good and consistent. We were there for Mother's Day weekend. They had a mariachi playing music outside. read more

I've been a regular customer for a long time and usually enjoy the food, but I had a very disappointing experience on 12/4/2025 I placed an order by phone, and when I arrived, part of my order was missing. I returned to the counter to get the correct items, and instead of helping me resolve the mistake, the employee spoke over me, became confrontational, and even accused me of lying about what I ordered. I remained calm, but the employee continued to interrupt, dismiss my concerns, and discuss me with other staff while I was right there. I asked for a manager because the situation was escalating unnecessarily. The issue could have been resolved easily with good customer service, but the way I was treated was unprofessional and disrespectful. I hope management addresses this and provides proper customer service training, because customers deserve to be treated with respect -- especially when they are simply asking for what they paid for. I was afraid to eat the food because she laughed as if they might've spit in my food. Honestly, I really wish I had gotten a refund. Her customer service was so horrible. She should not work for any company. read more

La Costa - Bean,rice and cheese burrito - Mexican Near Me - Brentwood, California

What a gem of a local spot! We stopped by for lunch and were thoroughly impressed. Conveniently, there's a parking lot and you can choose between indoor or outdoor setup. Ordering is done at the window, and you pick up your food there once it's ready. Just a heads-up, it's cash only! We tried the special shrimp tacos and they were fantastic. Generous portions with plenty of shrimp, all for a great price! The cheese was perfectly melted onto the tortilla, topped with fresh salsa and guacamole. On the side, we enjoyed flavorful rice and beans. The ambiance is charming with a true mom-and-pop feel. I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu! read more

La Costa - My carnitas tostada. Everything is soggy and flavorless except the chipotle which is so overwhelming. - Mexican Near Me - Brentwood, California

I've been coming here forever, the food has never disappointed! The reason why I am taking off two stars is because of an employee that must have been hired recently. (She was there on Tuesday/handing the food) She made me and my friends feel very uncomfortable. One of my friends got her order, then my friend and I were waiting there. She asked in a rude two what we were waiting on? We said our order. When we asked her for limes she asked in a mean town if we're together. I asked her what she meant and she did not answer. I don't see many people coming back if she is there, unless she changes her attitude. read more

Prices are very affordable. I can tell this is an old fashioned place thats been around for years and sticks to their roots. Quality is very good. The only problem I have is they only accept cash. Like really? You're not a street vendor and have your own establishment. read more

Affordable & top quality Mexican food. I've been going to this restaurant for years and I am satisfied with the food everytime! PSA: please make sure to bring cash with you. They are cash only! read more

Cash only, but they have a arm but charges $3 to pull cash. Customer service was great. Tried the Asada torta, it tasted alright. It was a tad dry and had little flavor. Also tried the shrimp burrito, I was biting into more rice thank shrimp. But the shrimp is big. The shrimp was over cooked by the way. Fountain drinks and refill is $1.00. The food is alright. read more

The food is always good! Make sure you emphasize the items that you don't want included so there is no misunderstanding.

I've been eating at La Costa in the San Jose area since I was a young child. It's definitely a comfort food for me. It's a place that makes fast and cheap Mexican food. Can't ever go wrong with a quick meal here. I'm vegetarian so I hear most people go for their seafood dishes but I love their veggie burritos and quesadillas. My boyfriends mom relocated to Brentwood and when I saw there was a la costa here I was so happy! Their outdoor patio makes it a nice spot to have a relaxing outdoor lunch. Today we opted for the veggie torta (subbed meat for beans) and their quesadilla. Both were delicious as always. Their rice, beans, and salsa taste home made. Only wish they added cheese to their tortas and that they served coke and not pepsi lol! read more

I've been here a number of times and always satisfied. Their food is delicious, prices are decent and their service always fast and friendly. Whether in the mood for simply a burrito or one of their combo dishes, they are all good. I have never had a problem with special requests. There is an open area outside with a roof covering. The menu is displayed clearly and large on the wall. Walk on up to the order window, usually there's a line. Place your order and pay. They'll ask you whether it is for here or to go. You'll get a receipt with an order number. When your food is ready, they'll call your order number at the pick up window. Be sure to grab any condiments, plastic utensils and napkins you'll need. If eating there, take your tray to one of the tables outside or the dining room inside. Even though your view is only of the parking lot, there is something I love about sitting outside, enjoying my food with some natural light and fresh air. They are located in an "L" shaped set of stores on the corner of Brentwood Blvd and Oak St. Although very busy, I have never had a problem with parking. read more

Love this place. Great food at a great price!! No real frills service. Just a walk up ordering style.

If you want a burrito, this is the place to go. I usually order the super burrito. It's huge so it could be split. The chili Colorado is really good and so is their chili Verde read more

The service, food, and prices are well worth it. Every meat we got was delicious and the drinks were very reasonably priced. Staff was very kind and accommodating. read more

La Costa has great staff and serves the BEST tacos ever! They accept only cash; and there is an ATM conveniently placed inside the restaurant. Woo-hoo. Please remember to tip the staff! They are very deserving! We'll be back for more of those irresistible tacos!! read more

I just ate lunch at La Costa which has an average rating of 4 stars. I read the reviews after eating there to see if I ordered the wrong meat. I noticed the reviews were either really low or really high with not a lot in the middle. I figured with 4 stars I would try it out. I'm a carnitas guy so I ordered three carnitas tacos. The menu notes the carnitas are roasted but it tasted more like it had not been seasoned and was boiled to make it tender. It could be more that my preference is for the pork to be marinated and then deep fried. I liked the onions, cilantro, salsa and the tortillas were soft. I would rate the carnitas a generous 2.5 stars with the review rounded to 3 stars. The carnitas didn't have any flavor, tasted and looked like boiled/steamed meat but it was tender. I plan to go there again and try maybe Al pastor tacos, chili verde plate or the enchilada plate. There were several customers there so I might have ordered the wrong item. read more

The cheapest meal you can get in Downtown Brentwood! Look no further than La Costa. It is a no-frills taqueria with decent eats. Based on the recommendation of the cashier, we got a taco plate. He recommended the asada and pastor for meats. The tacos were decent, meat was a tad dry, rice was excellent, and the beans needed salt. But hey, for $10, I'm not complaining. It was filling, fresh ingredients, and quickly prepared. Parking was plentiful, bathroom was clean (key was on a spatula near the cashier), add avocado for $1. There is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. This is a cash only joint so be prepared to break out some George Washingtons or Lincolns depending on your order. read more

Delicious food, incredibly efficient staff who was quick to make our food. The area was clean and my experience was great!

This is a service review only. Came today at 2:30 ish pm. Went to the window, ordered: Carne Asada Burrito Chicken Burrito with extra hot salsa Jalapeño & carrots on the side 2 Horchata She stated it was $18. I knew from previous visits this was incorrect, it's $25. I asked if she had both Horchatas, she said "yes" as she was handing me the receipt. ......I was questioning the order because I knew it was the wrong price and she didn't bother to even look or read it back to me....just took the cash and tried to send me on my way....... I looked at the receipt, a quick glance told me what I was missing. I told her that I was missing the chicken burrito. I did miss the taco that was on the receipt....but I wasn't looking for a taco, I was looking for a $10 burrito....So she quickly created a second order. Told me was $10 and passed another receipt over letting me know they would be called together. Like...she was huffy. They weren't called together. Not a big deal, but when I reminded her that there were two orders....it went downhill. She was now working the other window where they pass out the food. I told her that she called one of my orders, but not both (as she had stated they would do...but I didn't say that outloud). She hands me the first order, then grabs the second that I said was still needed...asks if I want anything else as she's shoving the bags at me under the glass. Yes, the horchatas....and as I'm looking in the bag, she again rudely asks me if I need anything else. I explained that I was trying to see what was in the bag before I asked for anything additional. She snapped back while I was still speaking and said that nothing was in the bag, that's why she was asking. Like....ok....I'd like some salsa then. She pushed two different flavors at me. I get to the car already telling my husband about what a bad attitude she had... Well, we get home and guess what????? I have: A carne asada burrito A cold chicken taco that is soaking wet, entirely drowned in red sauce of some sort, like El Tapatio with a lemon (not lime & a dry slice of radish). 2 Horchatas No Jalapeño or carrots AND No Chicken Burrito....BUT...I have Another Carne Asada burrito, that I didn't order, nor will I eat because it's beef and I can't eat that. I had no plans on reviewing LaCosta because it's relatively consistent with their food....but the fact that she had gotten the order wrong to begin with and was super huffy about things when she didn't take the order correctly and then pushed me off by telling me something that wasn't true....charged me for something that I didn't order, and then the second order was entirely wrong AND then she was cranky while I was even trying to look to double check the order before I left.... I consider that a theft of $13 of my money. $10 for the item that I ordered and didn't get, $3 for an item that I didn't even order and was inedible for anyone to eat since it was drenched in a wet sauce of some sort....AND I had to deal with her crabby attitude that was given to me....for zero reason except for her back to back mistakes. I get why she was trying to shove me off and not let me look at what she had given me. That is exactly WHY I was even looking to begin with. Because it was jacked up when we started and then it went completely sideways after. read more

If you found this review you are already on your way to the best food in your whole life! The tacos here are literally life changing! I am normally a chicken girl but the carne asada and carnitas are the move here! The carnitas is perfectly juicy while also crispy! The carne asada is nice and tender and its all so good! Not to mention that these tacos are still under 3 dollars! I mean who is paying 4 bucks for a street taco?! Couldn't be me. It is important to note though that this spot is not white washed so the salsa has a nice kick to it! So if you don't love spice or are unsure, maybe ask for it on the side. But if you can handle it, it some good salsa! read more

This is small taqueria in Brentwood Downtown. You can get some Mexican food and eat outside. This place is only for take outs, but there are a lot of tables outside.
