    This is a really nice Mexican restaurant that has good food, good service, lots of seating, and really fun atmosphere. The building it is in was at one time an old ice house and it is really beautiful. I really enjoy the Chile Verde plate, and the Apple Burrito dessert is wonderful. I have gone there with my Aunt several times during the pandemic, and we always feel pretty safe there. People are good about being careful and considerate. It’s now a very special treat since we are extra careful these days.

    Food here was delicious! Came here for my birthday and definitely don't regret it! Food was great prices were more than worth it! Portions were massive! At least for the plates I got. Definitely a moment I won't forget!

    We do road trips through Bakersfield a lot and always stop here for lunch or dinner. The food is great and the service is always friendly. This time, however, they didn’t put our name on the list when we got there so our wait time ended up being a long time. But once we were seated it was a good experience. Husband had the shrimp cocktail (which is what I typically get) and it was fresh and had huge prawns. I got the Tropical Tuna for the first time. It was massive! Fresh fruit on top of raw tuna on top of ceviche. Flavorful and filling!

    Great presentation and tasty Molcajete. Long Island Teas are good. Enjoyed the atmosphere but was seated in a high top area near the bar. We like to eat with our feet on the ground and should have been clearer about the ask.

    Excellent food, and they will make an order to your liking, they specially will make something the way you want it. The menu is large and can vary it a little so you can have it made for any specific diet, or allergy issue. Service is prompt and efficient and helpful. It is busy, an somewhat noisy in open concept and brickwalls and concrete floor. The bar is more quiet and there are other areas if you want it some less noise.

    Good service and authentic, tasty food at a very reasonable price. Chili Verde was just right. Not too hot. And the grilled chicken fajita salad was great.

    ::Update:: 3 years since my initial review and we still love coming here. The food is impeccable and the atmosphere is so relaxed. Lunch specials are still 🤌 ..... My mother and I love going to La Costa, especially during lunch and ordering off their lunch specials. You can't beat their food at their prices 💚

    Haven't been here in years, and was not disappointed. They still serve the most delicious 😋 food, service is outstanding. We will definitely be coming back more often.

    I went this past Monday evening for dinner, and it was not busy at all. I ordered the tacos de pescado. Fish tacos are my new favorite. The flavor didn't disappoint, but the corn tortilla shells were super flimsy. Who likes to eat their tacos with a knife and fork?!? I don't, but I had to. Anywho, the beans and rice with melted cheese and the Mexican rice were a hit. Their homemade sauce and their salsa were also deelish. My waiter was friendly enough, although I felt he could have arrived at my table much sooner, considering they were super slow that evening. In a nutshell, my experience and the overall service were meh. I'll pass. Next!

    Me and husband love going out to eat to restaurants to try out new plates from different places, we aboslutely love this place. We do not care how much we pay because it is pricey for some plates. Food is fantastic but waiter service is slow when they ask you if you want a refill or more of something the take for ever. They made my husband wait for 15 mins for a refill, we understand the place is very busy but we are also custumers trying to enjoy our food and drinks. Overall great food and enviorment!

    Been here twice so far, about a year apart between each visit. I don’t live in the area or I’m sure I’d be going a lot more. Great food, does not disappoint. Standard prices for dishes, server was nice and attentive.

    Oh my goodness I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and I mean it was everything from the staff to the way it was decorated it was just bomb and the food was so good the portions are huge had to take my food home because it was a lot of food like seriously one dish is enough to feed two to three people my strawberry margarita looked so pretty I didn't know rather to drink it or just sit and look at it lol it was the best Mexican restaurant that I've ever been if you love Mexican food and great drinks this is the place to be

    The environment, staff, and food are absolutely perfect. I adored the music they were playing and it really made my stay here more enjoyable. I definitely recommend ordering some fajitas and trying the guacamole!

  • 5/5 Jill W. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful food & drinks and beautiful building! I tried the Roasted Chili Cucumber Margarita- it was spicy and very tasty. The taco salad was the best I’ve ever had, with shredded beef and all the toppings.

    I was unsure because of the area, but I am always amazed at the quality. I wish I lived closer because I would go every day. The seafood is fresh, the chips are very lite and the service is always so friendly.

  • 5/5 Patrick and Heather W. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down, the BEST restaurant for fine Mexican cuisine in Kern County! Service is beyond friendly and professional. Food is fresh, never greasy. The atmosphere is lively and colorful. This is a popular family oriented restaurant everyone will love. It's our favorite place to celebrate as a family!

  • 4/5 Enid L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service, great atmosphere. Very clean and welcoming. My waitress was lovely. I came here for one reason, to sample a dish made with mole sauce. I ordered the poblanos, which is the grilled chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. First time for me tasting mole sauce, but it wasn’t at all what I anticipated. According to every recipe or description of what mole sauce is made of, this sauce could’ve been poured on your ice cream sundae. In other words, it tasted exactly like warm chocolate sauce, that was all. It lacked any form of heat that should’ve come from adobo spice that I was hoping to taste. Hence the 4 stars. I will be back to sample something else from the menu and will update my review of the food at that time. Still, a nice place to come with friends.
