If there was a thing as 0 stars is what you deserve from the bottom of my heart. I have only actually ate there a few times nothing too exciting about the place. Went tonight just for quick beer and some ok ceviche instead of just going to the place I like. I faced racial discrimination. It was some guy I'm you going to guess he has something to do with ownership for him to speak to me so Ridley as I did not belong there. Ambiance is dreadful and wack. Really dark inside music is horrible. read more

Food was absolutely disgusting old and stale. I order a burrito mojado de camarón it was flavorless and stale one bite and instant regret. Also my son tacos dorados de pollo was literally rotten good thing I checked before letting him eat it. My husband ordered camarones à la diabla it was ketchup with tapatio sauce! So disappointed. Please stay away from this place. read more

Service is friendly. Quite honestly not my favorite. I'm surprised Rubios has better fish tacos than this restaurant! I paid $10 for 1 fish taco that consisted of 3 small fish sticks (probably frozen fish sticks) and pico de gallo. The salsa they serve with chips is spicy but bland. They serve good drinks. This is why I'm rating 3 stars. read more

Mariscos La Costa - $10 fish taco - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I should of heeded the reviews. Honestly.. im writing this before I get sick. No flavor in the meat, lemon and salt are your friends... the "jugo de piña" we ordered tasted fermented like kombucha... like.. rotted. The chips de asada was my last option. They were out of fish, and shrimp. Like HOW!?! Anyways.. its flavorless. As a mexican.. this is sad. The reviews dont lie. Its basically a dive bar/restaurant. The locals here are just drunk workers whom have nowhere else to go. They tip the waitresses because its basically them sweet talking them and being drunk. The food was bland, not worth the 70 i paid. Could of gone to a burger spot for half the price and better food. read more

Local and authentic. A setting full of love, eye contact and very good food. I had ceviche and my friend had tacos. Both were fresh and very very good. The salsas couldn't have been fresher and this was at 9pm at night. Again, the staff go the extra mile without even trying. Can't wait to come back. read more

Shrimp cocktails were mid. Just didn't like the ambiance, bunch of weirdos in there seemed like i was at a club or something.

You step out of a strip mall in Costa Mesa and step into a little town somewhere in Mexico. You don't even have to fly or go to the airport to lose yourself in an authentic Mexican joint full of flavors of Mexico and music and atmosphere unique to this magical country. We decided to visit this place on a Friday night after basketball practice and the place was pretty packed with a few empty tables. There is a live DJ that is blasting Mexican music very loudly and also have karaoke going on TV which the patrons get involved every 10 minutes or so from their tables. Menu is expansive. A little on the pricy side but hey you are next to Newport Beach and a mile from the water so it is to be expected. I ordered their shrimp burrito and my son ordered the #3 which is a grilled shrimp special. He devoured every bit of his plate that was accompanied by rice and beans and salad and tortilla. My burrito was the size of Newport pier. It was very full and wet. The flavour was just ok but I was a bit disappointed and had to add quite bit of salsa and habanero sauce to kick it up but managed to only eat half of it. Service is great and our waitress was very attentive to our needs. read more

I ordered the shrimp cocktail. My wife ordered beef soup (Caldo de res). She didn't finish her soup and so we asked them to put it in a take out container. She left a good portion of her soup including plenty of beef in the soup bowl. When we got home, we noticed that they did not include the beef and had taken it all out! I can't beleive they went out of their way to do that. We were very dissapointed to see this. Maybe it explains why they took so long to bring back the take out container. Pedí el cóctel de camarones. Mi esposa pidió el Caldo de res. No se terminó su caldo y les pedimos que la pusieran en un recipiente para llevar. Dejó una buena porción de su caldo, incluida carne, en el plato. Cuando llegamos a casa, notamos que no tenía la carne y la habían sacado toda! Nos quedamos muy decepcionados al ver esto. Quizás eso explique por qué tardaron tanto en traer el contenedor para llevar. read more

Venimos con mi familia a NewPort Beach a divertirnos un poco y disfrutar con familia... terminando en la playa mi mama tenia antojo de una mojarra frita asi que buscamos restaurantes de mariscos y encontramos este lugar estaba lleno, nos sentaron y la muchacha que era muestra mesera tomo nuestra orden que era un clamato preparado, una horchata, y una agua de piña.. Para empezar el clamato preparado cuando lo trajo estaba a mitad de vaso y le pregunte a la muchacha si eso era todo?! Y me dijo "ah no le falta mas" y se lo llevo para atras y lo trajo de volada y le dije esto es el "clamato preparado"?! Y me dijo que para ellos el clamato preparado era solo clamato con limon y el vaso escarchado. Me trajeron despues lo mismo pero en una copa y como ven en la foto estaba a la mitad ni llena la copa. Y el agua de piña de mi mama estaba bien porosa y no tenia sabor a nada entonces le dijo a la mesera eso y le dijo si queria otra cosa asi que le dijo si queria agua de jamaica y cuando llego , llego con una agua de tamarindo y le dije que mi mama habia ordenado una agua de jamaica no de tamarindo y solo me volteo los ojos y mi mama le dijo que asi estaba bien. Y la "agua de tamarindo" tampoco tenia sabor ni mucho menos sabor a tamarindo... y en la foto como pueden ver hasta se separaba ... Asi que ya no dijimos nada .... despues regresa la mesera a tomar nuestra orden y le damos nuestras ordenes y noto que ella no apunta nada ni traia una libreta ... y esperamos mucho tiempo y decidimos decirle al dueño que ya nos vamos que mejor cansele la orden y el dijo coman y les hare descuento por esperar tanto y no les cobrare las segundas bebidas .... Entonces como ya habia salido la comida decidimos quedarnos y comer ... pero nos salio horriblemente desabrida TODA la comida ... ya mejor ni nos comimos toda la comida porque estaba tan mal ni sal tenia ...lo unico que estaba rico fue la sprite mexicana de bote que me dieron... y el dueño se porto muy bien con nosotros, pero la mesera. horible servicio.. no me quedaron ganas de regresar... read more

You couldn't pay me enough to eat here! For starters, the owner/manager is extremely rude, and the customer service is horrible. The bathroom is filthy, no paper towels and when I asked for napkins to dry my hands the owner/manager proceeded to catch an attitude.The food is whatever and to be honest the only thing positive about this restaurant is the 1 waitress who I feel is extremely under valued and definitely needs a raise working under that kind of management. I have never felt the need to discourage a business but this one really got to me. Sorry I'm not sorry ‍ read more

Awesome coastal Mexican food and great service! We visited on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed their complimentary chips and salsa plus guacamole, shrimp ceviche, asada taco, agua mineral preparada with lime and tajín, and jugo de tamarindo. Everything hit the spot and was truly delicious! The service was also super fast and attentive! Check this spot out! read more

Over cooked, overcharged and we did not feel welcome. It was an uncomfortable experience.

The restaurant is very clean. We ordered tacos and a shrimp cocktail, both had great flavor and were priced fairly. The food came out hot and fresh. Our server was the only one working, but she was efficient and friendly. I don't live in the area, but I will visit again when I'm in that city. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!! Terrible service. Unmotivated servers and the food is not Good. Be cautious of the seafood as it is OLD. The ambiance in itself is more of a dive bar. Tables are Not clean bathroom is disgustingly dirty and overall I don't know how this place is even open at this point. read more

I came earlier today for the fish ceviche and it looked very questionable. It looked old and dry but I was on my lunch break so I decided to add a bunch of lime and get on with it. It tasted okay. But $15 for a small bowl was definitely not worth it. As my day started to end, I began to feel very weak and sweaty. I vomited all of the ceviche and now I have food poisoning. Never coming here again and definitely never recommending this place to anyone. Vine hace rato para comprar el ceviche de pescado. No se veia tan rico pero como andaba en mi lonche del trabajo, decidí nomas comermelo y ponerle un chingo de limon por tan seco que se miraba. No estaba tan rica y $15 por una tostada, se pasaron. Ya despues de salir del trabajo, me empeze a sentir bien mal y empeze a sudar y me dieron ganas de vomitar. Todo el ceviche vomite. Primera y la ultima vez que vengo a este restaurante. A nadie se los recomiendo. read more

Worst tacos al gobernador. $10 per taco, no flavor, they use shrimp instead of marlin. Expensive and low quality

Mariscos La Costa - 7 mares soup - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Would not recommend /: I ordered two shrimp tacos and had to order rice and beans separately which came out to be almost $30. When they finally came the tacos literally had nothing on them (no sauce or anything) and barely had any shrimp. I asked if they had any crema for the tacos and they just brought me sour cream which they charged me $3 for. Everything was also unseasoned and bland. I went with a couple friends and they all did not like their meal. To top it off the waitress was rude when we told her she got one of our orders wrong (she never wrote it down). I often go to mexican seafood restaurants and trucks and I've never tried anything worse than this tbh. Overall just really bad service, bad food, and horribly overpriced. read more

I was getting my computer repaired and this place is in same lot. It shows Monday thru Friday specials on a banner out front but in Spanish. I asked the server what the special today was and she replied no specials. I ordered a cucumber salad with lime. It was delivered with my meal and not before. It was good. Then I ordered Chili Relleno with rice and beans. The cheese stunk and tasted funky. The rice was tangy and not right, the beans were lumpy not smooth. I wasn't asked what type of tortillas I wanted and was served corn and I prefer flower. The beer was cold. Not sure if my server understood English. Will not return to eat here. read more

Came here for a quick bite to eat and I think I've found my new spot. I had the shrimp burrito and my boyfriend had the chicken burrito. We also tried the fish tacos too. Everything was a 10/10! The agua frescas was delicious and you can tell it's fresh. My boyfriend loved his horchata also. Everything was great. We were greeted when we walked in, and the customer service was amazing all throughout our time here. Music was really good too. Had us dancing in our seats. Will definitely be returning. read more

I've been craving some ceviche and for some reason it's been tough finding a good place that has bomb mariscos. Came across this place and ordered the 1/2 doz of shrimp in agua Chile (chili water) and it was FIRE! So flavorful, fresh and satisfying. Ordered fish ceviche, although it tasted fresh and has a generous amount of protein and not packed with veggies- it lacked flavor and felt like canned tuna. Still good but I ended up mixing it with the agua chile broth. I like my ceviche drenched in lime. Personal taste. Definitely saving this location and coming back to try their other seafood dishes. Authentic! read more
