    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.

    Best veggie tacos I've ever had--fresh, flavorful, and totally unforgettable. Must try ....

    Bean,rice and cheese burrito

    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.

    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!

    My carnitas tostada. Everything is soggy and flavorless except the chipotle which is so overwhelming.

    NASTY!! Just nasty My la costa dog food. The pork is tasteless, the beans are tasteless, the lettuce and tomatoes are soggy and the avocado is warm and soggy. This shit is covered in chipotle nasty tasting powder. The chips are hard with no salt La Costa Brentwood is gross. Overly disappointed.

    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.

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

They are not open for lunch, but we came around 3:30pm on a Saturday and by the time we left it was getting pretty busy. Despite the increased business, the staff was very friendly and attentive. We never had to wait long and our server and staff regularly checked in on us. The restaurant is beautifully decorated (I heard the tables are imported from Mexico) and although it was busy, never got too loud. A bit dimly lit when we first came it but we quickly adjusted. Everything we had was tasty. The shrimp enchiladas were delicious with the tequila cream sauce. It was a bit rich, so maybe only a half order for me next time. I'm sure anything they have with carnitas is amazing because their carnitas were some of the best I've had. I wish they had aqua frescas or more flavors of jarritos but they have a lot of margarita options!

We were standing outside waiting for a Lyft after a meal and a staff member happened to come out. He was immediately concerned that we might have a problem. I assured him that we were fine and were just waiting for a Lyft. He then offered us seats to use while we waited but just then the Lyft arrived. This was so typical of the service and hospitality at Cochina Medina. And now I read that they are closing on May 24. The announcement says that the owners are retiring. I would think that they could find a buyer. Oh well, congratulations Rafael and family.
