Nice place to eat. The service was quick and the server was polite. Their menu has a lot.of options. We tried a few things and everything was delicious. The portions are pretty generous. Drinks are good as well.The only thing I did notice is the spacing between patrons during this pandemic. Other than that no issues.
Best margaritas in town! Gad to order two! Food was honey just ok. The ceviche gas no flavor and shrimp was not cooked all the way and was in it’s huge size instead of smaller pieces for better bites. The charola mixta was very bland. Was so disappointed of the nayarit style sauce no flavor at all. Mussels were good though
Me and my roommate are really picky when it comes to eating seafood out but this place was amazing. First of all they give you this really good seafood salsa with two different sauces to put on top and then the portions were huge for the main entree. We will be back again it will definitely be one of our neighborhood staples and will be recommending it to anyone in wicker area that wants good seafood
Mexican seafood focused on the flavors inherent in the dishes without over-seasoning. The portions are enough for two, and the ceviche-like salsa dip that comes before the food is fantastic. There are plenty of opportunities for spicy heat on the menu for those who can withstand it. The margaritas are perfect and generously sized. If you like fresh, simple flavors Mariscos La Costa is definitely worth checking out.
This place is beyond perfect.It’s a sea food paradise!So fresh, so flavorful and rich.Super authentic and the portions are big. Definitely suitable for sharing.Even the fish appetizer they serve complimentary is delicious.I highly recommend on the molcajetete.
Besides the bland fish taco, everything else was phenomenal!! The service was pretty good and my little enjoyed everything the server was super friendly with her. Will come back for sure.
No line there. Was there Sunday afternoon about a month ago. Which I was surprised since the one on central is always packed and up to 2 hour wait. Gave it a 4 stars because only 1 bathroom per person for each gender. So you got to wait there. And also the portions at that place are a lil shorter than the ones at Central Ave. Lol
Good food, huge portions and good drinks.
We tried the Pina rellena since that’s what the waiter recommended and it was phenomenal! It’s basically a pineapple stuffed with this fantastic creamy cheesy sauce and a great variety of sea food👌 Trust me you have to try it! It’s a must! Place itself is very modernized clean and spacious. They have inside and outdoor seating.
Ate here for the first time and loved it. Service was fast and the food was excellent. The person who brought me here said they usually can get a table immediatey, but we had to wait this time. Would definitely return.
Excellent food and service!!! The seafood was exceptional an MD the stuffed avocado was very yummy! Dont miss this little culinary gem.
I will NEVER go to the establishment again during these trying time my partner and I would like to support as many restaurant and small business This establishment will not be one of them. Yesterday I was Decline service in there worst way imaginable. For Being BLACK ! We came in waited to be seated 20min which was fine. We called before hand. After being seated we place our order for 2 drinks and 2 dinners. Waitress seem nice took our order 1hr later after seeing 10 other guess come in the restaurant. Group ranging from party of 2 and one group there was 8 guest NON AA!! I witness everyone meals come out but No on ever came back to my table I didnt say anything I just waited and waited . Im only aware of this because we are seated by the door never brought water and it wasnt until one of the 5 staff members ask us what did we order It was very clear Im a AA male with a Hispanic women. We ask to speak to someone a rude host came and said it was the meat we order and just smile. We said we would pay for our drinks and leave he told us dont and we politely left. Im only writing this because this was embarrassing to my partner she highly recommended the restaurant she has been a guess before but never ever thought it would treat us like we was Jim Crow days. We are both professional in education and medical industry and I still dont understand why. So I will Never recommend this place speak of it again and will take my hard earn money somewhere else.
Some of the best seafood in Chicago! We got the Chapuzon and it was the best octopus Ive had in a while, far from rubbery, the octopus melted in my mouth
The service was good but the food was soo bland, I do not recommend this place and aside from that its expensive. I was recommended to this place for good food and micheladas. Either its the cook or whom recommended me hasnt had good seafood.
Great food, the pulpo is the best Ive hadHighly recommend !!
The best they have such a great service and food nice place to have seafood
Great food and drinks! Their stuffed pineapple was perfect🍍🍤
Omg this place is PHENOMENAL! My first time there & I cant wait to go back. Our waiter was amazing. So attentive & just gave us outstanding service. The food? Out if this world. We ordered the Chapuzón & aguachiles & it was to die for. I seriously cannot wait to go back. The best Mexican seafood Ive ever had.
The food and service is great, except for one dish we took. The place is small but cozy.Did go back to Chicago and realized they are overpriced compared to other restaurants.
Ur will be good after drinking and eating here for u hang over or not
Just I want everyone knows if the waiters have a mistake you needs to pay for .. its our second visit and the first time everything work perfect, but time we ordered one mariscada la costa and the waitress confused it with charola la costa and we told the owners what happened and he says is no problem only says that price is more because the menu is SLIGHTLY wrong, they can fix the mistake and everything looks great also when come with the check price increase $70 dollars, surprise price almost same as charola the waitress confuse and all the stuff we ordered have same price as the menu just not the mariscada … we asked the waitress and the owner and he says I told them … no more … only recommended please check menu and ask because you don’t know how much they want to charged
Food was okay, can’t complain about the server but unfortunately she ordered the wrong food and we had to pay for her mistake. I’m definitely not coming back to this place ever again.
Service was terrible, got waitress about over 30 mnts of being seated, plus never came around to ask if we needed anything had to have the boss boy get us out to go boxes and ask for our bill still she never came to get it and we had to go look for her to get cashed out...but food was good
Everything was so good especially the crawfish !!!!! In my opinion it was worth every penny 😂😂😂😂
Great fresh food in combinations I couldnt have imagined. Try this place, its one of those family owned, unassuming spots!
Good food. Great portions!
The staff was awesome!The food was amazing [Piña Rellena*****]....The Drinks, on point [Micheles w/Negra]A must for Seafood for sure!
Best mariscos spot hands down! I order every week lol The camarones a la diabla are insanely good. I usually order an extra side of a la diabla sauce because the flavor is just that good.Love the vibe there!Staff is super nice too :)
Good food. Decent size location. I do have to say that the locale has only one restroom per person. A bit of a wait if the need arises.
My go to spot when traveling to Chicago! My favorite dish hands down is the Chapuzón. Serving is easily enough for two or to share with your table. Micheladas are also good. If you’re looking for some awesome mariscos, La Costa is definitely a must when in Chicago.
Good food, great customer service.
Such good food!! Seafood takes the cake
Food drinks and service were through the roof. Langostinos were plump and juicy, stuffed fish was tasty and the smell was phenomenal. Raw oysters were tasty and fresh Ill be back several times. As they were closing a large group of Sgts. Tried to eat but the restaurant was already closed. They were sad and said that it was there favorite place for seafood in the area.
I will definitely no recommend this place at all, is way overpriced and the food was disgusting 🤮.
Great service. Good quality good, you wont be disappointed been there many of times.
I got a “Molcajetero Fabuolso” great option. I had to wait to be seated but the wait was worth. Thank you all!
Good tasty seafood! And good drinks! Enjoy!
Great service awesome food
Soooo delicious. I love it 😀
New seafood place opened up! Read the reviews and decided it was worth a visit. GREAT dining experience!! The seasoning on the food was delicious and just right. The food here is amazing and very well priced for the portions. Caught an eye full of what the other tables were having and tbh we wanted to try it all. We ended up going with the mixed seafood platter that had a generous serving for 2 people, so generous, we were able to take some home!Service was great as well! Everyone from the super helpful waitress who gave us the rundown on the menu and good suggestion, to the runners that were SO helpful and friendly and didnt hesitate to take your order as well.Decor has great signage (love the nuclear symbol that indicates where the bathroom is) and the place itself is very spacious so you dont feel cramped. This place is great for large groups!Having grown up in this specific area Im happy to say this restaurant is definitely now one of our regular go to joints!This review has been updated to inform this place is no longer byo. They now have their liquor license and can serve beer and drinks out of their bar. Pricey but the margaritas and micheladas are oversized so you get what you pay for...
Having read amazing reviews, we decided to eat out at this place. My husband ordered a medium rare steak and my choice was a fish stuffed with sea products. When we got our dishes my husband became disappointed as the steak was overfried and looked burnt. We told the waitress about that and she suggested choosing other dish or waiting about 20 minutes for a new steak....my husband didnt want that kind of steak any more.so he chose shrimps.....I cant say that my dish was wow either....However, the atmosphere was nice and the staff were friendly.
Came here on a whim after passing it many times on the street. Decided to order the shrimp ceviche, as the restaurant advertises itself as specializing in fresh seafood. Fresh indeed. The shrimp was practically moving when the ceviche made it to our table. Triggered by the 50 shades of gray in my dish, I asked the server for her opinion on whether the shrimp was safe to eat. She assured me that she had loads of the same order in the past, and it was certainly fine to consume. I snapped a picture: you decide. I for one will not be coming back.
Excellent service Lizeth and pepe are the best waiters serving customers always giving the best service
Amazing Nayarit seafood. Great, fresh food and service. While I love hot and spicy, their sauce should have had a safety warning. The leftovers were on point too. Will definitely return.
Delicious. Loved it.
Service was excellent, food was amazing and the places was very clean. Food came in a timely manner, full of flavor and very healthy portions. The drink selection is very good and they go with the cuisine. Staff was very attentive and had a positive attitude. Hard to select a single dish but would highly recommend trying something different every time so you can enjoy everything they have to offer.
Love this place!! They have by far the BEST sea food and drinks around, excellent service and super friendly waitress. I went with my family and even my picky eaters loved the food.I live almost 3 hours away from the restaurant but every time we want sea food we don’t even think twice where we need to go.I recommend La Costa 100%
1 of my favorite spot to eat seafood
Exelent service highly recommend place
Mexican native imported to Wicker Park, this place is amazing... The food is delicious we tried a couple things off the menu and I have no complaints. The cocktails are great as well. Our server was great very attentive didnt get his name but male with great bartending skills and even gave us some gummy bear shots. Will definitely be coming back.
The food here is delicious! Drinks are tasty! Customer service is definitely WAY BETTER at this location than the one on Central. Good prices and great atmosphere.
Good food and service deffinetly better the some of the other seafood places on ashland hands down my go to.
The staff were very friendly, the drinks were good, my date and I were not satisfied with the food. The huachinango was fried too hard like chicharron and my dates food was way too spicy and we love spicy food, it just wasnt what we expected.
I ordered the large seafood platter with crab leg, shrimp and clams, that you can share. The red sauce that flavors the seafood is not very spicy nor salty. Attentive service. I really like the modern decor. Street parking
Just as good as the original Mariscos La Costa
Lobster tail and shrimp were way overcooked. Hard and rubbery. Could be done much better for the 54$ price tag
Always love coming here when Im around the area.Service always good and food never fails.Very delicious and authentic and original.Will recommend this place to everyone that ask where to get good food and great service.
Very good service..
Always awesome. Fast becoming my favorite place in Chicago for seafood. Good portion sizes, great variety and awesome price. Highly recommend!
We loved our first visit. The second one wasnt as pleasant. The service was bad and we waited so long to get our check and pay. The food was the best the first time around. The second time the food wasnt the same as the first time. But if you like seafood give them a try.
Always amazing food and service, my favorite spot.
The micheladas are extremely good! The food was very tasty, and the service was really good. Definitely recommend coming here to cure any hangover, or just eat good food.
Place is amazing. We had a seafood platter that was soooooo delicious. Margaritas were great. Service was awesome. We are definitely going back.
The menu and service were ahead of our expectations. We absolutely liked the ambience of this spot. First-rate place to take my family out for dinner.
Shrimp empanadas were amazing the dip sauce was just perfect
This place is so DELICIOUS! My second time here and I highly recommend eating here. Besides the food the service is spectacular!
Really good food and good music. My friends took me here to celebrate my birthday. We loved it! 👍🏼
I loved everything about La Costa 2... Everything was exceptional...... Same great taste and great atmosphere!!!! Also no wait on a Saturday at 7pm. Cant beat it... Yummy
Disgusting food, have to wait for 30 minutes before someone take my order, never again
Great service! Michelada mix is so good, even with mineral water. Ordered a seafood platter $40 for two people and fed four adults. Platter was cooked-to-order so it everything tasted fresh.
Excellent service and the food is spectacular. I was able to taste a variety of foods and they were all so tastu and fresh. I am definitely coming again soon!
Holy cow! If i could rate more than just a five star I definitely would the food and drinks are spectacular! Their seasoning reminds me of my my homeland Compostela Nayarit Mexico.Never disappointed, even my picky eaters (kids) love this place especially their empanadas de camaron . Staff is friendly super attentive and visit our table often to insure we had all we needed and were enjoying our meal. Just by writing this review makes my mouth watery! If you are looking for phenomenal seafood Mariscos La costa is the spot.
Great place. The food is amazing and prices too!
Great seafood. Had the Red Snapper plus shrimp made in a light red sauce. Worth every penny. Cant miss. Full bar.
Area resident for over a decade. A great new restaurant! Good portions, great taste. Prices are good, especially for portion size.
The food is good but do they check for iD for liquor like michilada
Great food if you can afford it. I would even call it a value based on the quantity & quality. Paid $45 for the Pescado Zarandeado and surprisingly dont regret it. (Be prepared for a lot of bones in this Red Snapper fish served filleted but in its entirety.) My only complaint is that I wish I had stuck to water, rather than the awful $10 tequila cocktail I ordered.
