Costa Azul Restaurant — Restaurant in Santa Ana

Came to have dinner here for the first time with family. My sister in law had been here before and said we would have to go before the band made it there because they are so loud it would be hard to even hear a conversation at our table when the band plays. I ordered a Mango Tajin Margarita ....bomb. I personally felt as if our waitress was sucked. After being served our meals we realized qe didn't have silverware or napkins. The waitress was nowhere to be found. We had to get up and retrieve our own silverware in order to even start eating. Still yet our waitress never stopped by. I ordered a carne asada wet burrito with green sauce. It had more refried beans than meat. My partner had a carne asada plate which aside from her asking for no onions and everything on her plate having onions in it...the carne was super tasty and seasoned perfectly. This might have just been a first not so good experience, but I do want to come back and try some something different. I heard the food was good, just didn't feel it was at all this...

We ate here after a long day of moving. We begged to get in because everything around was closing .. including here! They finally relented and the food was great. My niece asked for red chicken enchiladas, but got green. Not willing to waster any food, she ate them. My shrimp ceviche was to die for! So freakin yum! We've eaten there once more since then and they still gave my niece green chicken enchiladas instead of the red she'd ordered. I get it. Chicken goes with Verde. But red is her preference and it should be honored. I'm not crazy about their red sauce. I think it needs a little more chili powder, garlic powder and salt. Having said all that, The food is good, though. Now the atmosphere is a different story. Our first night there was karaoke night. Whatever, people like to be entertained. But the volume! Sheesh, would it be okay to turn it down a bit? Still, we were so hungry and tired, I'd have eaten with a singer belting it out in my...

Very Warm welcome by the Host-JEASE upon entry to the restaurant, not only was our Waitress -LINDA was very attentive and friendly but so was every other member of the restaurant staff. Every time they walked by our table they would SMILE acknowledging my girlfriend and I (but at the same time being very cautious not to interrupt our conversations) they would ask if there was anything they could get for us? or how is everything?

My Girlfriend had the CHICKEN ENCHILADAS PLATE which she enjoyed vwry much. I had the MOLCAJETE RANCHERO... It was beyond delicious, I am big man that can eat... But I had to throw in the white towel with this plate and ask for a to go box...

It was a great atmosphere with a live trio playing music requested by the other restaurant customers while we ate.

We Will definitely be...
