La Costa De Acapulco - Lathrop, California

As a business owner who frequently orders catering for weekly lunches for my team, I was extremely disappointed by my recent experience at this restaurant. I’ve been ordering from local businesses for our team’s weekly meals, and unfortunately, this place will no longer be part of our regular rotation.

The issue began when I called in an order and was quoted a price over the phone that didn’t match the price listed on their menu. When I pointed out the discrepancy, I expected a simple resolution. Instead, the owner argued with me, first claiming the upcharge was due to taxes, which is factually incorrect, as taxes are calculated based on the overall price. She then shifted to saying the higher price was due to the cost of eggs. This was not only frustrating, but also unprofessional.

I told her I would pay the higher amount this one time but made it clear that I would not be returning for future orders. Her response was dismissive, saying, “Why do you care? It’s not your money.” As a business owner, I find that kind of attitude toward a customer to be completely unacceptable. When I pointed out how she wouldn’t want her employees to have that same mentality about her business, she continued to argue.

To make matters worse, after I was at the counter, ready to pay, she refused to ring me up and instead served another customer first, telling me I had to wait because I “wanted to argue.” I stated to her, “The customer is always right, and her remark was, not here,” which clearly shows how little they value their customers.

As a regular customer ordering catering every week for my team, this experience has made it clear that this restaurant is not a place I will be supporting going forward. The lack of respect for customers and unprofessional behavior was enough to make me take my business elsewhere. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone looking for reliable and customer-oriented service.

Closest thing you can come to Mexican home cooking. Staff is very friendly and food is cooked to order. Prices are very reasonable and quality is superb. Their fried fish, camarones a la diabla, burritos and chorizo tacos are hands down the best around. No A/C inside, the plus to this is that the food stays hot for longer.

I love Mexican food and I drove here because they make the best tacos in town!! I usually order their carne asada tacos but today I decided to try their chicken tacos. Service was fast and the food is the bomb!! You won't be disappointed!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They do a promotion on Tuesdays. I think you already guessed it. Taco Tuesdays baby They are 1 dollar each or 25 cents more per taco if you wamt cheese. The Carne Asada rocks my socks every Tuesday. It is a must at lunch break. They are quick, you can order ahead, eat there, whatever you want. I will go there every Tuesday for the foreseeable future. My recommendations do not come easily so this is some good food.

The carnitas tacos were great, and I ate the bean burrito later on at night, at home. Nice little place. It was hot though, were not running their AC. Service was excellent!

I had a really bad experience at this restaurant twice. The place as soon as you walk in you can smell that stinks, the food is not bad at all but is not good either besides that they make me wait exactly 20 minutes for 3 asada tacos and no one was before me when i made my order so that's too much waiting for what I ordered. So if you're in the area try to find a better taqueria where to go to eat. Hope they improve the service, the sanitary and the food if they don't want to increase a really bad reputation for their taqueria.
