    Langosta mixta
    Karla M.

    This is my to go to place for mariscos in Chicago! I love all of their meals. The appetizer empanadas are my favorite. The mejillones and the langosta are my to go plates. The seafood is always so fresh. I recommend this location to all my friends and family!

    La comida riquísima las bebidas. Excelente. Le doy 4 estrellas por que. La música en vivo el mariachi me gusta pero si voy a un restaurant a compartir con mi familia a platicar. NO SE PUEDE POR QUÉ HAY DEMASIAO RUIDO POR EL MARIACHI

    I have been looking for a marisco restaurant and this did not disappoint. The food is so flavorful that it reminded me of my vacations growing up in Mexico going to the beach and eating fresh seafood. I came to La Costa as a girls night as one of my friends that I was with would come here often. She knew exactly what to order and the quantity given per plate was a perfect size. This is a location where I see myself coming back often to be able to try the other items on the menu. To top it off, having live music with your meal is the cherry on top. Do note, that if you do sit close to the musicians, it will make it a little hard to talk with your group but either way it was a nice touch to go with the meal.

    Visited here on a Monday night, vibe was good, service was great, and of course food was yummy!!! You just have to decide, you want to go with jumbo or tray!! And bravo if you can finish the tray!! If you don't want to get messy, go with the Chapuzon... Got two jumbos and a couple of beers, $160, that's average for seafood. Will be coming back!!!

    Tacos de pescado

    Uno de mis lugares favoritos, si les gusta lo picoso les recomiendo el aguachile, pica como debe de picar.

    Okay y'all mira!!!!! Dinner here had all the vibes! The space is BIG, there's a LIVE BAND and they even have an outdoor patio in the back, but this food!!! Eats: Empanadas de Camarón/Shrimp empanadas Piña Rellena - shrimp, crab, scallops, chopped clam and octopus cooked in a sauce with bell peppers, cheese, pineapple and mushrooms! La Costa grilled steak Coronarita The shrimp empanadas were SO GOOD! The empanada dough was flakey and perfectly fried! And that cheese - YUMMY! The piña rellena was just WOW! I'm not sure how one person is supposed to get through it all because it definitely looks like it's meant for a whole table to share! It is EXTREMELY FILLING and comes with a side of rice, bread, fries and salad. You already can see the drinks were on point as well as the live band! If you're not a fan of loud noise, you may want to avoid coming here when the band is scheduled to perform. Take your appetite and tell 'em that Planes and Plates sent you! Enjoy!

    Pasta la costa

    La Costa how far you've fallen. Management has gotten comfortable and it shows in how the waitress address guests and the food quality. I ordered Caldo de camaron and a pasta en salsa verde. Both extremely watered down. I remember when the sauce was creamy - this was disgustingly runny. The caldo de camaron watery with no flavor. I have patronized this location since 2014 and sadly this will be my last time. This is not only dissapointing, it is incredibly unacceptable that you'd serve this low quality food and still have the audacity to charge $25 and up for it.

    Pina Rellena
    Bea A.

    Hands down my favorite mariscos place in the city. The vibe is so much fun, especially when the live mariachi band is performing. No matter what you order here, you will be getting a HUGE portion packed with tons of flavor. I got the Pina Rellena. The dish is a blend of seafood in sauce served in a whole pineapple. It comes with a side of rice, fries, and salad to top it all off. If you're looking for an extra good time, you can get large fruity margarita! Service is also incredibly attentive. La Costa is a hidden gem for sure!

    Mojara de ajo
    Ana M.

    This is hands down my favorite marisco restaurant in the north side. Anytime I am in the area I have to stop by. It had been a couple years since my last visit and still iut is just as authentic and flavorful as I remember. I came at noon and that was the first time I didn't have to wait to be seated. I'll tell you the wait is worth it. I tried the mojara de ajo and asked for Nayarit sauce on the side. The sauce wasn't so spicy but it was delicious to dip in. The ceviche was yummy and fresh. The langostinos are amazing, the sauce is to die for. I kept dipping my fries in it. They also sell liquor. On the weekends they have live music. It's a great place for seafood ! Must try!!

    Every year I try to find a different location to celebrate my mom's birthday along with my brother and dad. I decided to check this place out; it was a very good choice. The food was really good, the atmosphere was nice, a little loud but that's expected (my brother and I were the loud ones), and the service was awesome,as well. If you love seafood this is a good place you should mark for places to visit. If you're like me and I'm not big on seafood, they have great steaks.

    4 boxes of leftovers!! After 3 people eating that plate.
    Jorge P.

    100% recommend this place!! Great food & great drinks. The portions are massive and that is my kind of restaurant! The price is definitely worth the amount of food you get so be ready to spend $30-$50 (no tip) per person and taking food home with you! We (a group of 3) got a large plate (in the picture) and we felt like we each ate for 2 people. Afterwards, we all had boxes to go home! So beautiful. Flavorful. They give you tostadas & crackers with a dip as appetizers. Even that was awesome! This place makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Also, drinks are huge too! Good as well. Only thing that was "ehh" was the mariachi band that was playing was SO loud I couldn't talk to my table most of the time. Unless I wanted to lose my voice yelling or had to wait in between songs. They played good music though! Passionate. Personal Review: 9.1/10

    This was our first time at Mariscos La Costa and we will definitely be back! The food is delicious and the drinks did not disappoint. It was a busy Saturday night but the service was great!

This is unique because I've actually have not ever had broccoli or green beans with my seafood boil and I would definitely have it again in a heartbeat.

The spot is pretty roomy and can accommodate a variety of different size groups. I also enjoy they provide gloves, a bib, and a sink outside of the bathroom to wash your hands.

I was sold after finding out its a Viet cajun seafood boil spot - plus it has really good reviews. I recommend making a reservation cause they can get busy. I like how they write your name on the reserved table - a nice touch. Also parking in the area is scarce so plan accordingly. They have a decent happy hour menu so we were able to take advantage of that! We shared the Lover's Cove for 2, then shared corn bread, garlic noodles, and the spicy cajun fries. The seafood combo only came with 1 lobster tail which is a bummer. We got the crab pad style (cajun) sauce. The sauce was fire. Compared to other seafood boils, this one wasn't as super garlicky. To end the meal, we built our own popsicles with unlimited toppings! Great way to end the meal. Flavors they had were matcha, ube, cookies n cream, birthday cake, blue raspberry, etc.

I've had the ceviche, the Lomo saltado, seco de carne, papa relleno, and the Papas a la Diabla with the steak. There is not one item that I have gotten from here that I have not enjoyed. Do yourself a favor and try their drinks too. Chicha Morada is a Peruvian maize drink, and really different, good, and refreshing. My favorite though is the Maracuya. You know it's real passion fruit juice when you see the seeds. I'm almost always able to find street parking on Cicero when we have come here. The servers are also very nice each time that I've been here. The restaurant itself says they are open until 9p, but be warned that their kitchen closes at 8p, so don't come in later than that. The dining room is nice for a dinner with friends or a more intimate date night, and the paintings on the wall are beautiful renditions of Peruvian culture.
