Absolutely amazing food. The food is delicious with good "sazón". I ordered 2 burritos and pupusa, and all of them were generous portions. Friendly staff members. The restaurant is clean, and welcoming. I strongly recommend this restaurant :) read more

First time trying pupusas. Had a good hangout trying out two of them and the super burritos. The frijoles and chicharron one was solid, but the chicken with cheese was really good with the verde sauce. Definitely worth checking out. read more

I don't know what happen to this place. This was my favorite pupusa place until today . My pupusas were not fully cooked the harina was falling out. After I told the staff a lady tells me "it's because it really depends on how people prefer their pupusa" I don't know about you guys but pupusas are not steak . I want my pupusa fully cooked not medium rare . read more

The pupusas and salsas were delicious! They give you so much curtido and salsa to enjoy each bite. We hadn't eaten breakfast and when our food came out, it did not disappoint at all. Plátano frito was also my fav! read more

We order from La Costa Del Sol often for our office meetings. The food is always super flavorful and there is always plenty of it. Our team requests this place often because the pupusa are so delicious. The cabbage that goes on top of the pupusa is crispy and full of flavor and their salsas are very delicious as well. Highly recommend for corporate and inhouse dining. They've done a nice job of remodeling the restaurant and offering some new menu items which is a plus. read more

Excellent food and fresh chicharrón. Great service very helpful and very informative!

I had been craving this place for weeks!! Only to come and have them be nonchalant and unwelcoming. These place needs to update their hours of service. I walked in 5/8 at 8pm 2 ladies had a very unwelcoming reaction and they whispered something amongst them, so I asked if we could sit they said they were already closed. You'd think they would turn off their sign and lock the doors, and of course update their operating hours both on Yelp and google. read more

We ordered food from here for a team lunch. Had vegetarians in the team as well. Everyone commented that the food was delicious. They called me the morning of delivery (ordered through EZcater) for the vegetarian options to make sure I knew the various veggie lunches they offered. I asked them to up the order last minute and they accommodated my request. I definitely recommend the veggie enchiladas and chicken tacos! read more

I have been to this location a few times. I love their pupusas here- it's been one of my top 2 spots I frequently visit for pupusas. Their Curtido and salsa is solid as well. I haven't tried other things on the menu besides the horchata which has a bit left to be desired- it's too watery on top and highly concentrated rice/ spice that remains on the bottom. In my last visit there, about 2 months ago, I found hair in one of the pupusas. Anyway, I would still give them the benefit of the doubt, as I have been here several times and I had anything go wrong just that one time. Their prices are reasonable and I recommend getting the lunch specials. The service is decent- about 20 minutes for walk in/ pick up orders. You have the option for casual dine in as well. read more

Best tamales - they come wrapped in a leaf and are so moist on the inside. And the food is very budget conscious.

Got two burritos and had waaaay too much rice and hardly anything else. The rice tasted like it's been in the refrigerator for a couple days Also I wanted a regular burrito. Asada, beans, cheese, rice, and asked to add sour cream. The lady said the regular does not come with sour cream so she charged me for a super. She looked annoyed when I asked why couldn't she just add sour cream to the regular and just charge me the extra because I didn't want the GUACAMOLE, SALSA, ONION, CILANTRO. I didn't want to argue so I just said charge me for the SUPER but take out the rest of the items. Never coming here again. Food was not good. Service was not good either. read more

My husband and I ordered take out from here on a Tuesday evening. Food: My husband got the al pastor super burrito. He thought it was good. I ordered two pupusas. I got the bean and cheese one and I got the one with squash. Both pupusas were good. They were very generous with the amount of take out sauce and veggies they gave with the pupusas. Service: The food was prepared in a timely manner, and everyone we interacted with was cordial. Overall, not a bad place to order take out from. Will come back to try other things in the future. read more

Zero stars if I can! Horrible place to come eat , they have terrible service. This is an empanada that I ordered for pick up, and while I was feeding it to my son he got this piece of metal thing out of his mouth. Please avoid this place Another horrible experience at costa del sol took 20 min just to give us menu and another 15 to take our order. Waitress was very RUDE! Just threw the menu at us didn't even greet us! After we had a meal I wanted to order something so I can take it home and I waved my hand at her to get her attention she LITERALLY made me yell my order to her where I was sitting to where the cashier is m! They definitely a need new and nice waitresses. Waitress/server by name of "MARGARITA" needs to be fired! read more

Great food been going there for years and the food hasn't changed one bit.. also another great thing they accept card now before only cash and I don't want to tell you how many time I went there and had not cash on me read more

I decided to try this place out after being recommended to this place by a fellow Yelper. Since it was close to home, why not? Here's why not: 1) After checking into this place, my Yelp app said "Get a free Pupusa or Taco". I presented it to the guy (Hernando) and he tells me it's not for this place. Come again? I must be hella stupid because my check in was for La Costa Del Sol and that's the same sign that's outside. 2) The carnitas burrito I ordered was loaded with rice and beans and only a smidgen of this mystery meat that legends say is supposed to be carnitas. 3) I decided to give this place another shot after Slumdog texted me a picture of their crispy tacos for $2. We come in and place our order for 4 tacos and 2 Salvadorian Tamales and waited as they made them. And waited. Waited 25 minutes for 4 crispy tacos. Does it really take that long to make tacos? 4) Hernando starts ringing up my order and says $15.16. Lemme see....$2 x 4 tacos = $8. Add 2 $2 tamales = $12. How did it come out to $15? Hernando then tells me crispy tacos are 50 cents more. WHAT? Where does it say that? He couldn't answer as he anxiously tries to flip thru the menu trying to find something that didn't exist. Dude--my friend just came here today and got the SAME THING and he got charged $2 why are you trying to jack me? 5) The tacos were stuffed with lettuce and lacked meat. Did Subway contract with you guys? Where's the beef? 6) The Salvadorian tamales had the consistency of drywall paste. They stick a boiled chicken wing in every one with the entire bone in it. Chicken had 0 flavor also. Don't waste your time here. Your shady business tactics, your stupid Yelp check-in deal that you won't acknowledge, and your meatless tacos are lame! I'm never coming back. read more

VEGETARIAN REVIEW 5 stars for food 2 stars for the staff / communication. Hubby n I noticed this place while we were here for a drive thru coffee. I quickly yelped the place n found that there were vegan n vegetarian choices. However when we were here for lunch a few days later, we walked in and asked them if they could make something vegetarian, the staff said "chicken ok?" and then i had to explain to her. Her english was pretty good though but she had no knowledge of what vegetarian was. Hubby ordered veggie burrito - easy peasy - it was on the menu. We got a free pappusa for yelp check-in. They were super yummy. I wanted to try something else n asked if they could make the fajita vegetarian. the woman checked with the chefs inside n said yes. now whn you ask for a veggie fajita most places give you sauted onion n peppers, spanish rice, refried beans, lettuce n tomato and sour cream. Here it didnt come with rice n beans. I had to order them separately ! A HUGE plate of sautéed onions n peppers with lettuce on top comes to our table n she asks me if i needed tortillas.. lol... hello?? ofcourse i need 'em! I believe the chips n salsa are free but we had to ask them! they came stale. my fajita tasted super yummy.. even the day after! So - expect some confusion if you are willing to wait for some awesome food. read more

What can I say. Ive been coming here for a few years and the food is good. I normally get the pupusas every time I come. My favorite pupusa is the revuelta (which is a mix of beans, cheese, and meat), and I also like the carne asada pupusas. Prices are low for the food you get. Would reccomendcallung ahead and making your order that way you dont have to wait. read more

This place is okay at best. I came here twice in the time span of a month hoping to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I just wasn't satisfied with the food both times. We walked in and ordered our food which consist of 1 al pastor burrito, 1 carne asada burrito, and 2 cheese and chicharron pupusas. Waited pretty long for my order even when it wasn't that busy. About 20-30 minutes which isn't bad, but it was dead the day that we came. Had 5 bites of my burrito and ended up not finishing it because it just wasn't tasting too great. I moved on to the pupusa and it wasn't bad, but also wasn't the best. I'd give it a 3/5 and the burrito a 2/5. Probably won't be coming back here, but the service was still good. The workers are nice which is why I have it a 3 stars instead of 2. read more

Got a steak burrito with avocado yesterday around 1 pm. Spent the whole day and night throwing up and having diarrhea. Food poisoning this place is so inconsistent. But this time did it for me. Never going back. And they are Luckys I didn't file a complaint or called the health department on them. read more

Oh the expectations and experience I had for this place was quickly ruined as soon as the food arrived. I was so hyped up after seeing photos for the popular crispy tacos and pupusas. Let's try with the positive first. The pupusas were serviceable. Pretty good first experience for the pupusas and the cabbage and sauce were pretty good. Now the thing I was expecting to blow me away came out disappointing. The avocado/guac was browning. I'm not sure how long it's been out or anything but it was spread all over my taco and I had to try to scrap it off. Nothing serious would have happened if I had a bite, I'm sure, but visually it was so unappealing and made me lose my appetite. I might come back because of a Restaurant certificate for pupusas, but man. What a let down.. read more

I loved this place but today was one of the worst experiences ever and my family will not be going back 1) We were never notified that our order was ready for pick up. 2) THEY GAVE US THE COMPLETLY WRONG ORDER when we did realize our food was ready. 3) The lady was rude as heck on the phone when we called to see if our order was still ready aNd she hung up on me while I was trying to talk to her. They gave us shrimp pupusas?! When our order had no mention of ShRimp, FYI: Im allergic to shrimp lucky for them I had medication on hand cause I did not notice the shrimp until I had taken a couple of bites.... When my mom called them they talked for a while but all they could say is we can give you 3 free pupusas and my mom was upset cause they weren't careful and If i didn't have my medicine on hand I would have had to go to the ER...when my mom said that they hung up on her. I really feel bad leaving this review but...I had to read more

Haven't been to many Salvadoran restaurants in the area, but I'm glad I tried this one. Ordered the mixed plate, an order of pastelitos, and two pupusas. The mixed plate brought a tamale, plátano, a fried egg, and a pupusa. The food was good, you can tell it was made on the spot because of long they took and how hot the food was. The pupusas were tasty and not too greasy, and so was the tamale. The pastelitos could've had a little more filling, but they were still good. Only downside was the rude cashier who seemed reluctant to take my Yelp coupon for the free pupusa. read more

I have heard good things about this food joint so I gave it a shot for the first time and the service is horrible. I have food allergy and specifically ask for it to be made without such and such and they seem to agree and understood. Received the food and drove home to find that everything to which I requested not to be placed in is inside. I ordered a quesadilla and it did not come close to looking like one. Looks more like a jacked up taco salad. I cant review on the taste as it has toppings that I am allergic to. To the trash it goes... read more

Save your time and don't come here. First of all, their fish tacos were nothing like these pictures on yelp. Not sure if it was just the ones they gave me but there was no "white sauce" on top and the fish was hella dry. Secondly, ordered two Super Burritos with no salsa and beans. Lets just say, don't even bother with the burritos. They're dry and trash w/ no sauce read more

Food was okay. One star mainly to the rude cashier who took our order really insisted what he thought our order was and billed us for $30. We tried correcting him but he insisted what he thought he heard which was rude af. We just wanted two drinks, two tacos, and a tostada PLATE. NOT a carne asada plate. Our bill shouldn't have been $30. Felt robbed. He wouldn't even show us the receipt cuz he know he messed up. read more

My ongoing quest for the perfect Pupusa out of mi mum's kitchen brought me to La Costa Del Sol (The Sun Coast). There has been lots of hype on Yelp for this place including continuous Groupon deals. I was pretty excited to try out a new Salvadoran restaurant as there aren't many around. The location is is a newer shopping center along sketchy Monterey highway. The menu also includes Mexican fare for those seeking comfortable choices. In typical Salvadoran style, they are proud of their heritage with lots of Salvadoran memorabilia inside the restaurant. The space is small but has plenty of tables and booths and it doesn't feel cramped. On our visit it appears the husband and wife were running the show. They were pleasant but as soon as more folks started to show up, they were overwhelmed and the service reflected that. Pupusa de Chicharron con Queso (pork & cheese) $2.25 - Pupusa's are the star of Salvadoran cuisine. My experience was disappointing. I didn't feel like there was much flavor and I would've preferred my Pupusa grilled a bit longer. A major fail was that when he brought out my Pupusas, they didn't give me the obligatory salsa de tomate and curtido (lightly fermented cabbage slaw with red chilies and vinegar). I thought maybe he was bringing it but he never did. I finally went up to the counter, waited in line to ask for them and he asks me "you ordered pupusas?". This is the same guy that I ordered them from and he also brought them out to me, WTF!!? Pan Relleno de Pollo $5.95 - This was absolutely delicious. The Pipil spices in the sauce on the chicken are addicting. The cherry on top is that they also give you a side of the sauce. This is a french roll stuffed with marinated oven roasted chicken, tomato, watercress, cucumbers, onion, lettuce and mayonnaise. This is a messy sandwich but it's worth it. Watch out for the bones though, they use everything. Tamal Salvadoreño de Pollo $2.00 - Unlike their Mexican counterparts, Salvadoran tamales are wrapped in plantain leaves, the masa is moist and flavorful and the filling also includes vegetables. Don't be surprised to find bones in your tamal as this is typical in El Salvador. I am a huge fan of these and I think I prefer them over the Mexican version. We ended up ordering a dozen for a potluck and they were a hit! Sopa de Siete Mares (seven seas soup) $12.95 - This was wifey's choice. She loved it but thought the green beans were odd. The Mexican version doesn't include it so I'll assume the Salvadoran version does. Cola Champagne $2.00 - A popular cream soda in El Salvador. No champagne in it. Tastes like bubble gum. Works for some not for others. I always get it because it reminds me of my visit to El Salvador. There were a few other things that I noticed but didn't get to try. They have Horchata, which has a different flavor and texture than the Mexican/Spanish versions. Their counter had Semita, a coffee cake with guava or pineapple jam and Quesadilla Salvadoreña, think pound cake + cheesecake topped w/ sesame seeds. I would return in a heartbeat for their Pan de Pollo and the Tamales. Sadly, not for the Pupasas. My go to Pupusa spot in the 408 remains Sabor Salvadoreño. Buen Provecho! *3.5 stars ** The Check-in offer for a free taco/pupusa is only valid Mon-Thurs w/order of $10 and up. read more
