friendly staff and fast service. even when busy, the food came out relatively quick. the portions are large and well worth the price. the seafood was good, especially paired with the sauce. it wasn’t too salty which we’ve experienced before at other seafood spots. i highly recommend getting the garlic bread to dip in the sauce. we were pleasantly surprised by how good the bread was with the garlic flavor and crispiness of the cheese

I have finally found my favorite mariscos spot in Chicago. After many restaurants have gone for a more trendy and modern approach to Mexican seafood lately, I’m so happy to have come across La Costa. This is the kind of place were you’ll find the traditional seafood dishes we all crave every once in a while. I had their langostinos and their filete a la crema, I definitely recommend both. Staff is very friendly and the drinks were very good too. I can’t wait to be back.

La Costa delivered a fun and flavorful seafood experience - starting with a solid ceviche, followed by a massive entrée loaded with shrimp, crab legs, mussels, scallops, and bold seasoning. The standout dish was the octopus, which was tender and super well seasoned and truly memorable. A satisfying meal overall and great spot for seafood lovers!

Came to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Had a reservation for 6, it wasn't required for a Thursday night as there were plentyofavailable seating. Food was delicious, ordered a few apps, oysters, agua chiles, empanadas and ceviche tostada. Mains were Mojarra, Molcajete Fabuloso, Mar y Tierra Molcajete and Mar y Tierra El Compadre. The steak in the Mar y Tierra dishes were ordered medium and let me tell you, they were cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. The drinks were great, not water downed like most places. Definitely recommend and will go back!
