Great celiac friendly place. Almost the whole menu can be made GF or is already naturally GF. We loved the California taco. Tacos are big- not your typical street style size. Chips and queso and GF churro fries are also good. Most importantly- the staff was so friendly about making a celiac safe request and had us feeling very confident.
I have celiac disease and have never gotten sick here. I get their fish tacos, grilled.
Their fish tacos are super hard to beat! Very Fresh. My husband and I love coming here. This is in our top five local favorites.
We have been looking for a favorite Mexican restaurant since we've moved to this area and thought we would try La Costa.
There are so many gluten free options and pescatarian options which are great for our dietary restrictions.
They sat us quickly and chips, refried beans and salsa got brought to the table. We loved that they served beans. The salsa was nice and spicy and I personally loved the strong cilantro taste. My wife not so much.
She ordered the beef enchilada with verde sauce, all gluten free. And I ordered the 3 taco plate. 1 fish and 2 shrimp.
I was disappointed with the tacos. The "shells" were extremely soggy and you couldn't pick them up to eat them, you had to use a fork. The fish was extremely bland, and the shrimp was just okay. This was after I added everything they brought out on the plate for me to assemble myself. I even tried them with their salsa. I couldn't finish them unfortunately.
My wife enjoyed her dish though.
We also ordered 2 jalapeno margaritas. Mine came out with a couple pickled jalapenos and my wife had a pickled jalapenos and a fresh one cut up inside hers. Haha. Definitely didn't taste jalapenos in the drink and the drink tasted extremely sweet like a premixed bottle margarita.
We might come back. Won't order any cocktails though. And I definitely won't order tacos.
When we do come again I'll give an updated review. Until then we are still looking for a local favorite.
I got a tamale and a Chile relleno. It was good, and gluten free, just a little pricey. (To me) it was super busy, but it was a Friday evening. The parking lot is small, but I think there's more parking in the back. The service was good and they got the good to us quickly. I'd probably not go back because of the price, small parking lot, and how busy and loud it was.
