La Cosecha Mexican Bistro

Came here because we heard it was better than Kalaveras. Made a reservation and when I walked in, the guy at the bar and seated me within 5 minutes. We were not offered complimentary chips and salsa like pretty much every other Mexican restaurant does. We didn’t even get utensils or water. The waiter stated that they no longer offer that, disappointing as I had to pay $14 for chips and salsa w/ guac. For food we ordered the Campesinos and the Crispy Shrimp Tacos. The Campesinos was pretty dry and definitely needed the guac and salsa. The shrimp tacos were okay, I asked for the sauce to be on the side, but they still put it inside. The drinks were good and more on the sweet side. One was watermelon and the other had jalapeño, I don’t remember the names. This whole meal was about $100. Might try this place one more time, but with this experience I feel it is not better than Kalaveras.

We went there on a Saturday afternoon around 145pm. Not too crowded, just about 3-4 tables in use. They gave us the brunch menu. We weren't looking to eat omelets. We were looking for burritos. They were nice enough to let us read the lunch-dinner menu while they made the transition in the kitchen. I think they put away the brunch menu at 2pm. I had the chance to read both menus and they have a really good variety of food. It's pretty impressive to see what they have. It's not just Mexican food. They had sushi, burgers, fries, pancakes (brunch menu). The ambiance is upbeat. There's disco lights but doesn't feel like a club, it's still a family and friends restaurant. My 7 month old slept through the loud music. The music was nice. They have TVs playing sports too. The restaurant inside looked clean and modern. Good place for a girls night There's plenty of parking and it's free! The alcoholic drink menu has a wide selection too. The complementary chips n salsa are bomb (see pic)! Cool place to have in Baldwin Park.

So good! Can’t wait to go again. The free chips + dips are DELICIOUS!!! Love the green and red oily sauce. Our server was very attentive and he was informative about the food we ordered. It’s on the pricier side for sure so it’s a nice treat for us. 8/11/22

Update: Okay hear me out… went again a few days ago and was ignored by all the servers. My husband had to go to the front to ask for someone to take our order. He wanted to leave but we had been waiting for 10min already at our table with menus that I didn’t want to go anywhere else. I’m really disappointed because we didn’t even get a “sorry for the wait” or anything like that.

Honestly it’s expensive here so you expect better service! You’re paying $20 a plate, $8 for an agua fresca and $12+ for a nice drink sooo you kind of have high hopes when you go to a place like this. I know this isn’t like a fancy restaurant but still. Food was still bomb but I guess the service is hit or miss. Didn’t even take pics of the food because we were so hungry that we started eating immediately.

Awesome service, great food! We had Kat for our server, and she was great. She offered advice and recommendations, and we loved everything. We are from out of town, but if i was local, i would definitely frequent this place.

Found this amazing Mexican restaurant that gives a Cancun type of feel. I literally could have just eaten the complimentary chips and salsas because they were so good! Many choices on the menu and good alcohol selection. Prices were fair and service was great. Definitely recommend!
