The other night I was stuck with nothing at home to make for dinner, and after a long day of playing bridge, I decided we'd go out to dinner. We decided to try a new restaurant, La Costa Grill. It is located in the old Crazy Burro building, at the corner of Alga and El Camino Real. The Mexican exterior remains, but that's about all. The interior is sleek and contemporary, with very comfortable furniture. The bar area is large and very busy, quite noisy. If you're there for happy hour you can also eat on the front patio, which is perfect with our beautiful weather right now. Their happy hour can't be beat for price or quality of food. It's from 4-6pm Monday through Friday, and also 9-11pm. Early or late, it's a great choice for a light dinner or snack.
Everything I tasted was good and plentiful. How about a burger on a bun for $4 (not a slider)? Guacamole and chips are $3. The shrimp cocktail looked delicious (I'm allergic) for $4. Two fish tacos, in either corn or flour tortillas, stuffed and messy for $3. Smoked ahi appetizer for $4. There were other items too, but it's easy to combine two items and have a delicious meal. The drinks, beer and wine were all $4.
The regular menu and the bar menu are extensive, but I will review those items another time. Give this restaurant a try at happy hour, especially while the weather is warm. I would avoid the weekends. I have a feeling it's very crowded and very loud.
