Awesome carnitas tacos. Not greasy at all, juicy from the meat. Two thumbs up. Fried peppers are for real.

Have been to the Alum Rock first and last time I ate at La Costa; this is a short review for a first the Seven Trees location. By Monterey Road, Teriyaki dude, Lee's sandwiches and a gas station!
Got a carne asada quesadilla and it came with radish, cabbage, sour cream a slice of lemon, not this dry slice, no juice they serve at some taquerias. Overall, I felt like this quesadilla was ok, the meat was hot and kinda soft, tender with no crisp or char. Cheese was ok too. Not too bad.
My friend got two pollo asado tacos and she didn't think much of it, I thought that the meat was boiled and not grilled. Ok. I got a bite, and I thought it was boring bland, not much of an ingredient kick.
Overall, I would like to try some shrimp tostada next time I go to the Seven Trees library!
Enso forever.

Mariscos la Costa is a small place with outdoor dining only. So what do you do if it cold like today you either bundle up or take it to go. To go was our choice for today considering the weather.
Service is pretty good here every time i have been here. Today the line was long and the place was pretty busy. The line went fast and got our food in a reasonable amount of time.
The food is good with good seasoning and presentation. I usually go with the carne asada tacos and the huns get the shrimp cocktail. Bothe were good and satisfying. Till next time.

The shrimp Micheladas were VERY SPICY. The tortillas were very good. I loved the fajitas.

Best Mexican food in San Jose. I always get the burrito but the tacos are very good as well.

One of my fav places in SJ for pastor tacos, never a long wait and pretty clean. cash only but so good and not too expensive

I've been coming here for years. This is the best place to get fast food Mexican at a high quality for a very low price, compared to other establishments.

Really good at super burritos with Carne Asada! My burrito was a little wet and saucy on the inside, while my partners was nice and drive with all the ingredients even though we ordered the same burrito. That's my only con. The meat was really good and savory! It was all soft, and not chewy or hard.
I also ordered some fish tacos and my tip would be to air out the package so they don't get soggy if you order it to go. Really good, above average Taqueria and I would return if I'm in the area.

We went to this place on a Friday night and there was relatively little wait. It's located near the center of a small plaza. The seating is all outdoors and in the open-air, os no indoor seating. After our order was placed, we got our food relatively quickly. One thing to note is that this place is CASH ONLY.
We ordered a Burrito De Carne with Chicken. There were other meat options to choose from and even a vegetarian option for burritos and other items in the menu. The portion size was huge and given the size, the price was definitely worth it (~$8). The burrito was very juicy overall and not at all dry, it had a generous amount of sour cream and veggies. The extra sauce it came with was not very spicy and while I found the burrito flavorful, it was not as spicy as I'd hoped and pretty mild overall.
Overall, definitely enjoyed eating here and will be back again to try something else on the menu!
