Costa Chica Grill — Restaurant in Johnson City

WOW!!! WOW!!! This place blew me away! This is a MUST TRY whether you’re a local or a tourist. My experience was so good that I took pictures of the establishment and not just the food. First of all the atmosphere is lovely and everything is BIG. Like the seats and the cups. Our waiter, Joel was absolutely phenomenal. He answered any question we might have. Which was a lot, because the menu was so authentic. And yes, they even have cheeseburgers for the littles. The carne asada was the most tender steak I’ve ever had. Even more tender than filet mignon. The cheese dip was not the best I’ve ever had but it was still good. There is a small store inside where you can buy Mexican goods, we enjoyed looking around. And in the back they even sell their own meat! The menu is pictured below. If I could give this restaurant six stars I would but since I can’t, this raving review will have to...

This is hands down our favorite Mexican restaurant! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warmth and hospitality that makes you feel right at home. The service is always attentive and kind — you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. They feel like family.

The food? Absolutely incredible!! Every dish is bursting with authentic flavor, made fresh, and beautifully plated. Whether it's the sizzling fajitas, quesadillas, or the house-made chips and salsa, you truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

The atmosphere is inviting and vibrant, perfect for both family dinners and casual nights out. It's the kind of place where you want to linger, enjoy good conversation, and savor every bite.

Wow, just WOW. This was the perfect choice for my Mom and Dad's anniversary. Mike was our server, and as all the other reviews have said, he was awesome...very attentive, funny and charming! My Dad and I had the Quesa Birria and my Mom had Cheese Enchiladas. Both were fantastic!! The salsa was homemade and tasty, the guacamole was chunky and divine, the rice actually had flavor, even the sour cream tasted better than normal! lol And you can tell the tortillas they use in their dishes are homemade. The portions are INSANE. My Dad was impressed by how clean everything was. We will never go anywhere else to eat Mexican food. We absolutely loved the menu selections, because what they offer is more authentic and what other Mexican restaurants in JC serve Mole, Ceviche or Octopus?! NONE. I can't wait to go back and try...
