Once upon a time in a galaxy very close to Tracy...........
La Costa was a great place to buy food and eat! I have gone here for 25 years and feel they have been decaying, declining, whatever you want to say! A month ago I bought a tostada de civeche de cameron for 7 dollars a tostada!!! LOL. The shrimp was not very well cleaned, it still had some yellow to it and if you know how to clean shrimp, you know what I'm talking about. The to go cup looks smaller! Yet when I go to La Mexicana and buy a tostada de cameron... it is significanlty more fulfilling and cheaper now! When I go to Modesto and buy ceviche the price has not changed as dramatic as La Costa and get more from them!
In addition, I don't buy burritos from them anymore which was a staple for them back in the late 1990's and early 2000's! It seems like Los Potros and La Mexicana have been providing burritos which are more fulfilling and yet more consitent in price and I ask you why do La Costa's burritos look significantly smaller than these other places who are providing food around the same price!!! La Mexicana just recently expanded in Mountain House and I have been using them for catering on a consistent basis!
La Costa, good luck making it in Tracy. I know popeyes opened up another franchise around you! Your prices for what you get are out of this world, a joke, don't get happy and high! In addition, why does the taco stand over the bridge from you provide tacos for the same price, 3 dollars, and they provide double the amount of meat!!!!!!
Your reviews have been getting worse over the last five years if you...
Read moreThis place was good a long time ago, now the food is not good. I got a shrimp burrito, they ask me do you want everything on it, I said yes. It is just beans and shrimp. I don't see or taste anything else in it. The beans have no flavor. They are runny and watered down. The tortilla seems old like it was made a long time ago. Horrible food. $10 for a watered down runny bean burrito with shrimp. And how are you only taking cash and not charging tax in 2023? Probably not tracking your sales correctly and selling food under the table and not reporting your sales correctly to scam from paying your business taxes correctly. This place should be reported for business fraud and bad business practices. Another review shows a picture of a roach in the window. People give it high reviews because it has been there forever and they are loyal because it was good 20 yrs ago. Now it is a hole in the wall taco shack dump. It really gets...
Read moreI recently visited this place for the first time. I am a vegetarian so I asked if they could make a vegetarian version of Tostada Carnitas. I don't know how but the young girl taking the orders understood that as a vegetarian burrito. Due to my complaint personality and dedication to not correcting people, I paid and received the vegetarian burrito I didn't really want. In hindsight, I should have asked her to clarify the matter because the burrito was not good at all. It was sort of soggy and untasteful. And their prices are not cheap either. My Mexican friends have told me that Taco Bell is not real Spanish food but in that moment I would have taken Taco Bell any day. Needless to say, I would not be...
