Our meals was a wet burrito in red sauce with homemade guacamole and sour cream , fried fish pescado mojado and a sea food plate all was so great !!! read more

Tostada la costa is my favorite need to try this usually not busy come in an sit down.

Fantastic mariscos. A wide variety on the menu, many I've haven't seen before. My favorite is huachinango frita (red snapper). A warm and inviting place with reasonable prices and great service. Mariscos fantásticos. Gran variedad en el menú, muchos de los cuales no había visto antes. Mi favorito es el huachinango frita (huachinango rojo). Un lugar cálido y acogedor con precios razonables y un servicio excelente. read more

La Costa Restaurant - Red snapper - Mexican Near Me - San Bernardino, California

If you are looking for that "Hole in the wall" Mexican food, you have to try this place. Their claim to fame is Mariscos (Sea food) but even their shreade beef is bountiful. Our burritos were stiffed with meat! None of that "More tortilla than meat" jazz here. Anna the server was delightful and ready to help. read more

La Costa Restaurant - Tostada de Ceviche (Camarón Cocido) - Mexican Near Me - San Bernardino, California

Came to celebrate my moms bday. Ordered tacos, oysters, and a cocktail. The waitress made a mistake with our oysters and brought us some cooked one with melted cheese instead of basic raw oysters. I told her we would like them switched. She just blankly stared haha she then said we can't take them back. I asked to speak to her manager and they were trying to justify the mistake. Finally they took the cooked oysters and brought us some tiny small baby oysters. The size was laughable! read more

La Costa Restaurant - a platter of fresh oysters - Mexican Near Me - San Bernardino, California

Average Mexican food place, nothing special about it. Lacked seasoning. Weird cheese in the bacon wrapped shrimp. Rio Ranch's mojarras have more flavor. Asada in the burrito was good but no salsa/Chile inside. read more

This place was introduced to me by my father who is a picky eater. He gets the tostadas which are an amazing mound of shrimp topped with avocado. The molcajete is amazing. While you wait for your food they bring you a soup and some chicharones marinated in lemon and salt. You have to come here. It's the best new spot for us when we come visit. read more

Yuck I paid and got out waste of money! read more

We were looking for a place to take the family for some fresh seafood and Micheladas and this place did not disappoint. The Micheladas were the best I've ever tasted. The fresh seafood was delicious and the service was very good! I would highly recommend. read more

This spot was very average to me because I ordered a platter for my family and it was not good. We like authentic flavor filled food and this place was not it! The purple octopus chunks in it was nasty & the shrimp was not cooked fully. I'll be making my own next time but the female employee who helped me over the phone & in person was super nice. read more

Been coming here for years but their cocktails keep getting smaller and don't taste the same - you can taste the tap water they use to make it - if you want a great Shrimp and Octopus cocktail go to Sumabi! The food here is mediocre read more

La Costa Restaurant - First course - Mexican Near Me - San Bernardino, California

Our first visit here, we have driven by countless times. We stopped in today and were pleasantly surprised. Fresh and tasty seafood. They give you chips, salsa, a fish stock soup, grilled onions, chili and fish chicharron. The portions were generous and filling. We will definitely be back. read more

I went into the restaurant to place a order to go. It took approximately 25 minutes, way too long. Part of the order was chicken wings, they were small and over cooked. I also ordered menchaca, somehow they burnt the eggs and it is was very bland tasting. read more

We stumbled upon this place. The food was Delicious and the service was great. The waitress was very attentive & nice! We will definitely be back. We ordered the octopus and shrimp cocktail and the camarones al MOJO de about. Bombski! read more

I've been coming here for years and remember it being consistantly good .After a two year hiatus (not related to the restaurant), I finally came back for lunch today. The restaurant is north of the intersection of Mt. Vernon and Mill on the left-hand side. Parking is in the back and is a bit tight during peak times but street parking is also available albeit in an iffy area Today I ordered the "Tacos Mexicanos" plate ($10.50) which is two tacos (filled with a meat of your choice), rice, beans, and a little salad and to drink a horchata. I ordered my tacos to be filled with fish. The plate also came with some guacamole and salsa. Before the food came I was given the ubiquitous chips and salsa. The salsa wasn't reminiscent of that weak Pace crap, it had a kick which I love and the chips were perfect. I then proceeded to devour my plate. I loved everything on it! The rice and beans were great and flavorful just like I remembered. The tacos were great! They were wrapped in thick homemade corn tortillas and filled with grilled fish. The only thing I didn't quite enjoy was the horchata. It definitely could've used more cinnamon and sugar. Pretty sure it was just an off batch. Also like in most Mexican restaurants, there are no free refills on aguas frescas (i.e. horchata, tamarindo, jamaica). Another negative I feel are the prices. Most plates are $10-$14. With that said the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. Good authentic food just like I remember it! read more

Sigh, another local favorite with not enough reviews. No worries, I have come to fix all that! haha If you live in San Bernardino (as I once did), and you talk about spots to have really great Mexican food, this place always comes up in conversation. It's a small sit down restaurant in a shabby part of town. But the food? The FOOD is what you go there for. They have the best shrimp tacos I've ever tasted. They're sauteed in butter and placed on corn tortillas with your toppings put on the side. And you must try the Birria (goat) plate. The first time I had Birria was here, and I'll never forget it. In San Bernardino there are Mexican restaurants on every corner. But if you come across this one, stop in and have a bite to eat. It is so so good. read more

We have been coming here for 8 years and just love everything on the menu. Also, Lupe the owner is so great as well as the service. The Micheladas are great and my favorite is the shrimp tostadas. Can't forget the tacos Mexicanos with homemade corn tortillas delicious!!! Highly recommended. read more

There ceviche tostadas are so bomb there not greedy with shrimp or avocado. What makes me go back is the fish soup and fried fish pieces and there roasted chiles and onions in tajin are so bomb like appetizers. read more

I call this place by accident and ordered two caldo de res, thinking it was my local restaurant and as soon a I drove to my local restaurant they told me I didn't order from them, so I decided to give La costa a chance, and I call them back and told them what happened but that I was on my way to pick up the caldos (20 min drive) the caldos where really expensive $15.66 the soup was salty, no flavor at all and there was barley any vegetables just carrots cut in small pieces, I'm really upset that people take advantage of this situación (pandemic) that we have to take food home without seen it first and they get away with This place is a joke I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE AT ALL. Note: I will continue going to my locals La Concha Mexican Grill in Redlands Caldo is $11.99 with lots of vegetables and meat and great flavor and lot of diferente good And Huichos in Loma linda with caldos $9.99 and a lot of great food read more

Found this little gem just trying to find a good mexican food place while I was running some errands in the Area and definitely was blown away by the food here. Also the service really went out of their way to serve us even though the place was about to close they were very welcoming and attentive. I definitely did not expect that kind of service. I had a carne asada burrito here and was definitely impressed by the meat it was seasoned so well and the salsas they had, were really good. I definitely recommend place and will be coming back read more

This place is amazing! Our second time here and not disappointed!!! They offer you chips and salsa while you wait for your food as well as a light broth and some sauteed onnions, yellow chile and a mystery appetizer that tastes more like a pork rind "chicharron". We ordered the Viagra Appetizer and it is a feast! We requested to have octopus added and they were more than happy to! Light, refreshing but filling appetizer that pairs great with your ice cold beer, perfect for two very hungry people or a shareable plate for four! Give them a try you will not be disappointed! read more

Had to literally just walk out I had been waiting for someone to acknowledge us to be seated for over 10 minutes then I see the waitress sit another family down as soon as they walked in even though we had been already there another waitress finally acknowledges us and says to go and tell her no for here and she just says okay and walks off to help her tables doesn't tell me we will seat you in x amount of time or anything then I see the other waitress just helping the tables pay for their tab and then another guy and his kids walks in and he order's instead Of the waitress clearing out the table so that we can be seated she helped that customer out gets his order and he pays then another customer comes up to pay because we've been waiting for that long the customers are just leaving now at this point she has more than three tables empty and not one of them is cleaned out for us so we finally decided enough is enough we've been here for over 30 minutes and when we walked in nobody was in front of us waiting before us shouldn't have took this long to give us service now went to Mariscos Espinoza down the street and I am already seated with menus on the table. Tip to the owners: service is important you have to acknowledge your customers and let them know they will be helped shortly everyone knows it can take some time to get seated but don't just ignore your guests until they have to speak up and say hi we have been waiting. read more

You have to try the molcajete!!! The chile is amazzzing, seriously. I usually order the fish one, which comes with shrimp, fish, and garnished with a nopalito and piece of chile fresco, sooooo delicious. It is more than enough to share for two, comes with beans and rice. I've been coming here for a while, and everything I've had is good. The ceviche and shrimp tacos are also good. read more

My boyfriend and I came in and sat down at a dirty table because literally every table in the restaurant was dirty... 10 minutes later the waitress came wiped down the table gave us menus and walked away... 20 minutes later we still hadn't had our drink orders taken... no I'll be right with you... no acknowledgement... nothing... we continued to wait and wait until 30 minutes later we just left... staff needs to pay better attention and take better care of the customers they do have... only 3 tables in the whole place were actually occupied. read more

Small spot in SB with REALLY GREAT SEAFOOD I always get great service and it's a good place to celebrate or get together with friends. Only thing is it's kinda hard to park but worth the wait for a spot! read more

Well....unfortunately, things changed and we won't be back. My wife's octopus and scallop plate was deep fried to the point of being inedible, and my carne asada plate wasn't much better. The service was deplorable as well, it seems our waitress was too busy visiting with friends to even drop in on us...too bad, or she could have at least got another drink added to the bill. Speaking of bills, don't make me wait while you chat your friends up...this was the first time I've ever had to walk my payment up to the register, I hope my 10 percent tip reflected my displeasure. read more

The food is overpriced and flavorless. The mariscos botanas (appetizers) plates are filled with onion and it's overbearing . The service is okay. I wouldn't spend my money here again. read more

The service... Not so great. The food is delish. Had shrimp ceviche, it was good. Would've gave it more starts if not for the eternally slow service. read more

I love this place..... seedy neighborhood, but amazing mariscos (seafood)..... I especially love their seafood fajitas..... or try one of their parrilladas, like the surf and turf. They are huge, so share with the whole table! And order a Michelada there! they make amazing Micheladas. read more

We've been coming here for over 14 years and it's in a bit of a worn neighborhood - but it's very good, especially the seafood. The fish tacos are the best, handmade tortillas full of grilled fish with a nice side salad and chopped salsa. Make sure you get the charro beans which are whole beans in a sauce that is addictive. The ceveche tostadas are also delicious and prices are very reasonable. We've always had great service and it's got a nice family style atmosphere especially on the weekends. read more

Been here twice in 3 days is so delicious!! Shrimp tacos are yumny. Shrimp cocktail yummy. Salsa yumny. Everything is so good and quality is great. The service is great. The cook is fast so you domt wait for ever. Overall 100% better than with previous owners! :D read more
