About this business
La Costa was conceived and developed by Jaime Soltero Sanchez and wife, Francisca Garzon in 1992. Talavera tiling and terracotta pots with long stemmed plants draped multiple archways in the traditional Mexican restaurant. Mouthwatering aromas of arroz con pollo, fajitas and burritos filled the conventional cocina. In 2003, the La Costa location underwent extensive remodeling and development. It was transformed into Barbur Shops. With a desire to maintain a restaurant on its original location, Jaime and Francisca passed the ... read more

AWESOME TEQUILA SELECTION – Tequila is definitely my favourite spirit & I was pleasantly surprised at the vast amount of choices they had to choose from. I especially like how they let me decide what type of tequila I wanted in my margarita, which turned out to be a margarita I continue to dream of. The salsa is delicious & the bartenders are extremely friendly & accomodating. I frequent there as of often as time & money allows.
They make you pay for chips.. – I would never return to this restaurant. The service is unsatisfactory.. They make you pay for extra chips.. $1 if you'd like another tiny basket of chips to go with the salsa give you (you would think it would be the other way around.. Pay for salsa not chips.. Not the case here) Our server had no idea what was going on at all times and was very unprofessional. She told us that we had to pay for chips because they were losing money giving away chips. Funny because you only get about a handful... read more
Unsatisfied – I hadn't been to happy hour here for about six months but had previously had great food so a group of us decided to go to happy hour. I have to say that we will NEVER go back again. The food was completely tasteless and the service was HORRIBLE. The one member of our group who decided to eat off the regular menu got a very small portioned plate and the price didn't reflect it. The only two good things about the place were the salsa and the large beer for four bucks. With all of the other Mexican food restaurant... read more
an "ok so-so" dining experience – We had a gift certificate to go to La Costita so we went for lunch. They were quick to seat us and serve hot chips and salsa. The service was ok not great and the same with the food. I thought my Steak Vira was a bit small portioned and it was too greasy. $9 Med. Margarita was a bit much, and it wasn't that good. My wife had Arroz con Pollo which she enjoyed. Over all not a bad dining experience but we probably wouldn't return. And the waitress could have been more friendly.
Good Food and Very Pleasant Night Out – My husband and I ate at La Costita for the first time last month, and liked it a lot. We took our two elementary-school aged children back last night and had a good experience again. The food was fresh and there is a there nice mix of menu items--last night I had a shrimp dish that was marinaded in tequila with cilantro and orange which was very, very, good. My husband and I had tasty, out-of-the ordinary margaritas (tamarind for me, pomegranate for him), and our kids enjoyed their mea... read more
Bad Service! Even to regulars. Food quality declining. – We have watched the steady decline of La Casita for the past 11 years. Today, we had our last meal there. The service, food quality, margaritas and management have finally become so bad that we have to move on. La Casita was our favorite Mexican restaurant long before it?s new strip-mall location. La Casta once was a stand-alone restaurant that sat right on the corner. The food was great, service was good (most of the time) and they would have an outdoor Cinco-de Mayo ... read more
Bad service – Okay food... horrible service. Recently went with my family of 5 for dinner. I asked for 1 children's menu for my developmentally disabled daughter and was refused because she was over 12 years old. Keeping in mind my son was under 12 and ordering from the adult menu, I was still refused when my daughter wanted food off the kids menu. We left. Then next day we talked to the manger and were told 'Sorry, we were very busy and short handed last night' in a dismissive way. Too bad... This restaurant is in our neigh... read more
Bad Service, Eh Food. – There were 4 people at the bar, and my group was 3 of those. Ordered 3 margaritas, and it took at least 15 minutes to get them. The bartender taunted us by walking by us several times, to do a small load of dishes, and pour a couple waters for a server. A gentleman came in and sat at the bar after we were thoroughly annoyed, and he was served a drink before we recieved one. The drinks were definitely not worth waiting for. Couldn't taste the Sauza, and they were so sweet I couldn't finish mine. The fo... read more
This place is gross – Whoever wrote the "this place is amazing" review doesn't know what good mexican food is. My mother is Mexican, I grew up in California, and I've been to Mexico. This place is just plain gross. The food is just as bland and flavorless as every other Mexican food place in Portland. I apologized profusely to my husband for choosing the place. It was that bad. The food is luke warm, bland, and flavorless. The salsa was not fresh! I'm convinced it came from a jar purchased at the local supermarket. I've come... read more
