La Costa - Chicago

The food here is excellent—very fresh and generous portions. The Mariachi musicians add a lovely atmosphere, though they can be quite loud, making conversation a bit challenging. If you prefer a quieter setting, I recommend requesting an outdoor table. Overall, I would rate the food 5/5.

I can't eat spicy food, so I informed the waitstaff. However, when she recommended a dish, it came with jalapeños and was spicy, including the shrimp. It was frustrating because I clearly stated my dietary restriction. My family's meals were good, but overall, my experience was disappointing. Food rating: 2/5.

We enjoyed our meal immensely, and the service was outstanding. Our server, Fabian, provided excellent service. Food rating: 5/5.

The service was friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious, and the drinks were equally enjoyable. Pictured are the mango margarita, Chapuzon, the octopus cocktail, and the La Costa steak dinner.

Absolutely fantastic! The flavors are delightful, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. The drinks and atmosphere are just as enjoyable. This is definitely my new favorite seafood spot!
