I have ordered from here a few times, mostly through DoorDash or picking up to-go. It's a small restaurant with a brightly decorated interior. It seems clean whenever I come to pick up, and the staff are super friendly. The dishes I have enjoyed the most are the quesobirria tacos and the carne asada fries. The fries definitely hit the spot every time! read more

We were from out of town and wanted some Hispanic food. The place was not busy at all but I saw a few takeouts. The food was delicious, but I had expected the quesabirria to have more flavors in it. Also, It was my first time trying it. The server was a young man who was very patient and enlightened us about the ingredients. XD The con was the restroom, I won't say what I saw but I just wished it was cleaned. read more

NOT FOR WHITE PEOPLE! I ordered the verde cheese enchiladas with no warning on how incredibly spicy they would be. This was hands down the spiciest Mexican food I have ever had in my 30 years on this earth. Good luck to whoever dares try these. Tldr: food was good, I ate the whole thing but have regrets read more

Al Pastor street taco was FIRE - sooo good! The carnitas was delicious too, but pastor was definitely my favorite. Also, they made us the freshest strawberry margaritas from scratch - we heard them make it and great tequila ratio. The decor is festive and fun, really enjoyed our visit! read more

What a great taco spot! I stopped here after working up an appetite shopping at the nearby Gilroy outlets and I'm so glad I did! The interior has such a fun theme and is bright and colorful, as well as clean. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a friendly employee who told me I could sit wherever I wanted. After about a minute, he came by with water and chips. He kept our drinks full for the entire meal, and remained friendly throughout every interaction. And then there's the actual food!! I can be pretty picky but this place knocked my socks off! I will 100% be making up a reason why I need to return to Gilroy so I can come back here. read more

This was the best Mexican meal I've had in years. Bacon wrapped shrimp. Came with the standard rice and beans but a choice of salad or fries. I liked the onions and Ciliento coming as a side dish. The decor is what I would have expected in a restaurant in Mexico. Sturdy. The Mexican motif was carried off very well with lovely scenes on the chairs. I was the only gringo in the place - that means that the local Mexican people favor this restaurant. The source served with the chips had a nice bite, not too hot but not bland. The service was prompt and my server attentive. read more

I haven't personally sat in, I mainly pick up during lunch so please keep in mind, in restaurant experience might be different. I mainly go on their weekdays deals, for example, Monday the have $1 street tacos, which in todays inflation and greed, it's a solid deal. Food is your basics, not amazing but not bad. I'd definitely recommend for the deals. read more

Staff was amazing! The inside of the place couldn't have been more cute, the chairs were clearly handmade and painted which I was in love with. Food tasted amazing and had so much flavor. I can't wait to come here again read more

Let me tell ya it's a must visit and return visits. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. I've seen this place forever and have always been curious. They just expanded and decorated the restaurant so colorful. There were 3 of us in our party. We all left completely satisfied and bellies full. They even humored us and gave a sample of the Chile verde sauce. Amazing!!!! You must give them a try.. well worth it. read more

Ordered from DoorDash, there was a 20% off deal which made me choose this place over other taquerias. This is my first time trying them and I am pretty impressed. I got the quesabirrias, tacos de pastor, and horchata. Quesabirrias: 4 quesabirrias, onions, lime, salsa, and a sizable side of consume. All for $14, which is significantly cheaper than other places. The flavor was good, the cheese was melty, the taco was crispy, it was everything I expect from a quesabirria. This is going to be my go to place when I am craving them. 5/5 Tacos de pastor: the flavor of the pastor is great. The tacos were the small street taco size, so in my opinion for $2.50 they are not as good of a deal. The salsa that came on top was good, but I wish it came with onions as well. Overall 4/5 Horchata: it's good, a tad bit grainy but it's still enjoyable. It was $3 for a medium, but the medium is huge! I've been charged $6 for an horchata of similar size elsewhere. This was a great deal and it definitely satisfied my horchata craving. 4.5/5 read more

Excellent tacos, burritos, shrimp diablo, lengua, carnitas, and spicy crazy flavorful sauces with incredible complexity and legit heat. Friendly and helpful staff and a clean, cheerful venue. Top notch house made tortillas and great refried beans. The large platters reflect market prices (close to $20 for a big dinner with sides) but the street tacos are a bargain @$2.75. Recommended. read more

What a cute little restaurant! Driving back to Southern California from the bay area, stopped in Gilroy for the outlets. Googled for good Mexican food, and this place was number 1. 4.5 stars it said. Definitely deserves that. I'd have given it a solid 5 if that hadn't forgotten the avocado on my burrito. But........ to be honest, other than paying for it and not getting it... it really didn't need it. I got the chili verde burrito and it was delicious. Not overly spicy (too bad because I loooove spicy) but fun of flavor. I'm picky about chili Verde, so I was pleasantly surprised. The green salsa i got the side was AWESOME. Spicy and flavorful. I could buy it and put it on everything! The place was clean and the service was great (take out) I would recommend this place. Next time I pass through, Definitely will stop again. read more

Have ate there twice now... excellent food, extremely clean and decorated nice. Waitstaff are knowledgeable and friendly. read more

QuesaBirria. That's all you have to remember. I ordered the QuesaBirria for lunch today through DoorDash & I was blown away. They weren't small but they weren't huge. They were the perfect size. The cheese to meat ratio was great as well. Sometimes you get a taco or quesadilla w/too much cheese or not enough. These were perfect. The consume was great as well. I will definitely be going in person to the restaurant & taking the hubby to enjoy. I can't wait to see & try what else they have. read more

I saw a discount for this restaurant on Door Dash, I decided to Trey their birria Tacos, they are so good! I've been there twice now to have them! I am so picky about Birria, it's delicious, with their green salsa A++++ It's a hidden gem really, I've lived here my whole life and this was my first time ever going in, such a cute spot. Highly recommend. read more

Food was amazing service was great and over all the place was clean and the restaurant was nice

Today I was in the mood for quesobirra tacos and have heard good things about this place so I decided to try. I ordered 1 order of quesobirra tacos which comes with 4 tacos with cilantro and onion, 2 lemon wedges and some consume ( that has an amazing taste). All I wish is that the tacos had a bit more meat in them, other than that the red salsa paired well with my meal. Will be back to try other menu items. read more

Los Costenitos Restaurant - Quesabirrias - Mexican Near Me - Gilroy, California

Sat September 3rd, 2022 @ 1:30pm ZERO STARTS When we arrived we were greeted and sat at table #9 table of 5ppl (3 kids, 2 adults) Ordered 5 jarritos, quesabirrias with consomé, super burrito w/carnitas & lengua, quesadilla & quesatacos. After 30 min, food arrived. Quesabirrias were good but consomé was a bland-watery soup with cold lard/fat. Hubby ordered the super burrito; Carnitas were BLAND looked and tasted like boiled pork, the lengua was SLIMY and STINKY, meat old and BAD! Tacos and quesadillas were super GREASY and BLAND and they put no salsa. Service was VERY VERY SLOW. I saw 2 waitresses and 3 tables in the dinning room. Not busy at all. Food arrived but No utensils. I had to flag down another waitress because our waitress vanished for 10min, show this lady called "Maribel" about the stinky beef tounge (lengua) and no apologies no nothing, just took the plate away. Waited and waited for something to happen and no one came. Finally waitress #1 returned, Asked for the check and it took her HOURS to bring. I mentioned about the "bad burrito" and she only replayed "I know, it was removed from your bill" ‍ QUESABIRRIAS were good but service and other food MEDIOCRE!!! Won't be going back EVER EVER AGAIN worst $86.43 spent in my life. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEY DONT DESERVE YOUR TIME & MONEY read more

Delicious and great service. I recommend the Salsa Verde pork plate. It is affordable and have a variety of food, it looks beautiful inside.

Micheladas on point! Haven't had one that good in a while! Molcajete a tu gusto tambien! Everything was very very good. The tacos de tortilla a mano bring you back to your childhood like that scene in the movie ratatouille. Don't be in a hurry when you come to this place, if service takes a little longer it's definitely worth the wait. read more

This past year I was sad to find the place closed. I hadn't realized they were just remodeling and now open & expanded with more a festive atmosphere to dine in than before. I ended up ordering my usual- this time tacos and quesadilla. I still want to try all the seafood dishes they offer and will dine in for that soon. They offer handmade tortillas tacos now as well. Anyhow the food is delicious as always. This is one of my more favorite Mexican places in Gilroy. I like to support family run business. I recommend you give them a try if you're in town. read more

Very good food and a really nice family owned restaurant. They make the best burritos in town.

Love the new remodel. Very colorful and inviting. We went at 2:30 pm on a Friday, and the place was empty. There were quite a few to go orders. We had the chicken chimichanga, super burrito and chicken enchiladas. All were very tasty, and the service was great. This is the second time eating here since the remodel, and we'll definitely be back. read more

Lettuce does not belong in a burrito. Unfortunately that's how they make their supper burritos, which coincidently doesn't have guacamole in it. Their carnitas was just roasted pork, mediocre at best. Definitely not real carnitas. Last of all the horchata was sickeningly sweet. This place is a strong pass. read more

Too bad they were closed,, they need to modify their hours, don't claim to be open and have people drive out of their was to be disappointed .. my work crew really wanted to try this place out read more

This was a good takeout place! Me and my husband got the regular burrito with Asada meat. I would recommend it the sodomy did taste like ground beef but overall the burrito still was very good! Also it seems like a family owned business and everyone in the family was working there, very kind and warm and welcoming people!!! Recommend this place, enjoy! read more

One of our favorite Gilroy gems, super low key, offers to-go, and is so affordable for amazing quality. Their seafood is amazing, everything is made fresh so it does take a minute sometimes for the food. Best plates- Shrimp fajitas- they have great flavor and come with fresh made tortillas. #2 favorite plate- Caldo de camaron/Shrimp soup which has an amazing broth and hits the spot in these cold days and comes with fresh made tortillas to dip in the soup. #3 Carne asada plate- Not too overcooked, and great flavor. Also try the sopes with chicken so delicious. It's family owned, hard working locals and have great customer service. read more
