    Beans and salsa
    Cristina G.

    The first time we ate at this restaurant, the food was delicious but the service was terrible. The restaurant was at half its capacity, only one person serving tables. We waited a long time just for the drink order and the waiter was not friendly. I will give them another chance alone. The food was delicious, I ordered black al pastor tacos and my husband ordered the octopus. I ordered a paloma to drink but it was tasteless. I hope next time I have a better experience.

    Definitely worth checking this place out! We tried tacos mi amor, flautas ahogadas, and trompo rojo chilango tacos - all were delicious. Plates don't include sides but they are still filling and delicious. The chips & salsas they bring at the beginning are spicy We also ordered the guacamole & elotes and both were so good! Tried various drinks - all were good! Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice. They have music playing but you are still able to have conversations. Perfect for date night, catching up with friends/family and/or to celebrate a birthday.

    Looking for a date night! This is the place. Looking for a party spot? This is it! Looking for a business meeting location? This is it! This place is a great spot in the RGV! The environment is elegant and colorful indoors and fun and spontaneous outdoor. With a full bar and a great outdoor live music stage. Ali's loved that they kept the trees outdoor and made the environment more inviting. Now let me tell you the food was appetizing! From the chips salsa and beans that they bring to start to the delicious mezcal varieties that they have. We had the 1/2 chicken with esquite risotto. The esquite was scrumptious. We also tried the house steak and fries. Perfectly cooked steak and flavor. The drinks were unique especially the mezcal.... Definitely not for everyone's liking. But it is a must try! If your looking for a fun spot to hang out with friends, colleagues or significant other check this place out!

    Anniversary Cake

    Went here for a different anniversary dinner and was not disappointed. Before we were even taken to a table we were asked about any food allergies. The place has an interesting vibe. The menu is an interesting twist on Mexican food. Everything we had was very good and the server was attentive. The surprise cake for our anniversary was a fun touch. Will definitely go again.

    Ribeye Cantinero and Spicy Guacamole

    Food was delicious. We started with the spicy guac and shared the ribeye cantinero. Everything was plated beautifully and tasted great. 10/10 would come again!

    Delicious... great for any occasion... great for kids, couples, families, parties... love the environment, upbeat, fun, and inviting. I don't think there's a bad table anywhere. Service was fantastic, and there's nothing on the menu I wouldn't try. We will be back foe sure.

A James Bond kind of theme, dark, mysterious and sexy. We made reservations and received a call for confirmation. As we sat at the bar, we were served by the bartender, Diamond who was helpful, attentive and willing to answer questions. The three different martinis on Happy Hour menu were excellent, especially the espresso and dirty martini. The empanadas were filled with great flavors of chicken and cheese. The Bond fries we recommend, fries topped with caramelized onions, animal dressing and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. The spiced mixed nuts, were okay. The charcuterie board was filled with 4 different meats, 4 different cheeses, olives, tomatoes and toast. If any constructive criticism, I would put a few crackers on the board, however it was a great treat! We will be back. Things to be aware, you need a reservation and there is a dress code.

You do have to have reservations so don't just walk up they will not allow you in just with anyone, which is good because it keeps the downtown kids out, older, more mature and professional adults! Nice place!! Great for a girls night out as well!!

    A Hidden Gem for Mexican Seafood -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more As a traveler from California in town for a swim meet, I was on the hunt for good Mexican seafood and stumbled upon La Costa Grill. Based on the reviews, I had decent expectations -- but this place blew them out of the water. The ratings honestly don't do it justice. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was warm and genuine. We were greeted by the hostess and seated right away, even during the lunch rush. Then came a wonderful surprise: our server brought out a mini skillet of the most incredible black refried beans for dipping, alongside four salsas ranging from mild to hot, all served with tostadas -- compliments of the house. Back in California, you're lucky to get one salsa, let alone refried beans as a free starter. It immediately set the tone for the meal. Our server was knowledgeable and genuinely helpful with recommendations. We ended up sharing a lunch portion of paella, an octopus taco, and a fish ceviche tostada -- and every single dish delivered. The octopus taco was a standout; served over a layer of refried beans, it was a flavor combination I didn't know I needed. The ceviche tostada was fresh and bright, and the paella was satisfying and well-seasoned. I also have to give our server extra credit for her transparency -- she mentioned upfront that the paella leans heavier on rice than seafood. That kind of honesty is rare and really appreciated. We ordered it anyway, and we were glad we did. If you're visiting McAllen and want authentic, flavorful Mexican seafood with outstanding service and hospitality, La Costa Grill needs to be on your list. I'll absolutely be returning before I head back home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    The food is excellent here. The atmosphere is pretty with large TV's and sea style decorations. The…read morecomplimentary soups, black beans and salsa w/tostadas is excellent. I really enjoy this restaurant.
