👍👍 We can’t stop coming in! The music is a great feel for how the venue is as a whole, fun, exciting and lovely! Every taco is delicious, a little wet, but so full of great flavour! The mezcal margaritas are perfect for a post-beach drink. Overall such a great place for food and drinks! People often mention tacos, Mexican, good, Byron,

    I worked for Costa (in the kitchen) during 2 months as a backpacker and it was one of my best working experiences ever so I wanted to leave a little review. First, the manager Karina does absolutely everything for her employees. She always checks that every employee is happy and feeling good. As employees, we are also paid more than the normal Byron restaurant wage and we can eat for free. Second, as I worked in the kitchen, I saw how everything was made and I was amazed to see how everything is fresh and made every day!! Every day, they receive the fresh vegetables, meat and fish and cook everything from scratch. It is a lot of work, and the chefs are all from Mexico so they know exactly what they are doing. The 3 chefs have an absolute passion for cooking and they are very patient to teach backpackers like me how to do it perfectly. Third, everything is VERY clean in the restaurant and in the kitchen. Which I think is very important to know as customers. Thanks again for this amazing experience.

    Wish I had one of these places close to me. The perfect Mexican package. Everything on point - food, service, atmosphere. And one of the best spicy margs I’ve ever had (take note, everyone else).

    Absolutely fantastic tacos, ceviche, and nachos. Far exceeded our expectations - came here twice over our brief holiday in Byron Bay because it was just that good!!! Service was excellent and a relaxed restaurant environment where you could enjoy the food and watch passer-by.

    A Culinary Fiesta at Costa Taco Before discovering Costa Taco, I must confess, margaritas and I weren't exactly friends. But this vibrant Mexican gem in the heart of the city has completely flipped the script. Now, it’s not just a drink; it's my absolute favorite, thanks to their magical blend. Their margaritas are not just drinks; they are a harmonious melody of flavors that dance on the palate, perfectly balanced between sweet, sour, and tequila's bold embrace. But let's not forget the food - oh, the food! Each taco is a masterpiece, cradling the freshest ingredients in a tender embrace of corn tortilla. The flavors are a testament to authentic Mexican cuisine, yet they boldly venture into new and exciting territories. And the ceviche? It's like a refreshing plunge into the ocean, with citrus-kissed seafood that's both invigorating and satisfying. The heart and soul of Costa Taco, however, are its owners and the wonderful people who work here. Their warmth and passion for authentic Mexican cuisine shine through in every interaction, making each visit feel like a welcome return to a beloved friend's home. Costa Taco is more than a restaurant; it's a celebration of culture, flavor, and culinary artistry. Whether you're a margarita aficionado, a taco enthusiast, or simply in search of a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this place will enchant your taste buds and leave you craving more. It's not just a meal; it's an experience that you will cherish long after the last bite.

    Wow. What a treat. Service was excellent along with the atmosphere but the real standout and the most important was the food. Pork carnitas, quesabirria, baja, tostadas - they were all amazing. Full on flavour, yet light enough to have a few and feel satisfied. Drinks were class as well - perfect margaritas with an interesting spiked horchata special as well. Do yourself a favour and check this place out, you won’t regret it!

    Excellent authentic Mexican bursting with flavour and freshness! Could not recommend this enough! Have tried many Mexican restaurants around the country and this is hands down the best one of there! Amazing staff and great restaurant atmosphere, a must for everyone!

    Really good street style tacos. Saw in some of the other photos and reviews that fillings are light on - but this was definitely not the case when we visited. Heaps of tables on a Saturday night, but they don’t take bookings anyway.

    Tried Margaritas at about 4 other places in Byron, and these were the best! The tacos were also delicious.

    Incredibly tasty tacos, chilaquiles & friendly staff.

    Some of the best authentic tacos I have had in Australia. Being from Southern California am super picky about Mexican food. I have been back here for tacos 2 days in a row and wished we had more time here so we could eat them again. We will definitely be back for the tacos and the town. I highly recommend you stop in and have the beef birria tacos after a day at the beach.
