La Costa Mexican Restaurant

The best Mexican food in Humboldt County. Olga is one of the kindest restaurant owners in the area. I was visiting for a short time and had to have a meal at my favorite restaurant. Olga's waited on us and mad my trip. Thank you Olga for your kindness. Until next t time.

Loved it! The food was delicious, just like my mamá makes it. All great items on the menu. From their huge and delicious freshly made flour tortilla to the molcajete with rice and beans, La Costa is the real thing in Mexican food.

OK if you like lard in everything. Large servings. Nice presentation. Attentive waitress. Guacamole was fresh and nice green color. Salsa was good and chips were fresh and crispy. But beans, flour tortillas and rice reeked of lard. If you like that flavor you will find the food good. But I do not. It’s a matter of taste.

That fried tilapia brings me back every time. The chips and salsa also. The plates are enormous. Only thing is too many flying insects since it was hot. Plenty of parking. Nice lady who took our orders.
