Mariscos La Costa

Asada and pollo tacos were on the smaller side, but the shrimp and octopus tostada was good! Would just come here for their seafood, and skip the tacos.

We always get the Campenchana and is always a winner ! Been going here for years and only thing that changed is the prices and after the pandemic, prices kept going up and up but the food stays the same ! Clean, fresh and the facility is clean.

The seafood cocktails are not the cheapest, but as far as flavor and quality, it is solid! This is good for hangovers. A little bird also told me you can bring your own beer! Cool to know! They also have tacos ! It is CASH ONLY !!!! I will return on my next hangover!

My friend and I drove out to East Oakland for lunch. I was in the mood for shrimp cocktail, and lo and behold, fhe shrimp cocktail at this location was delicious. However, it was Mexican style shrimp cocktail, which is full of fresh ingredients like tomato, cilantro lemon and chiles and very different from American style shrimp cocktail which only has ketchup, lemon and horseradish. The portions were good the service quick, it comes with yummy homemade tortilla chips. My only complaint is that it would be nice not to have disposabletableware and bowls. So I will probably go there again, but I'll bring my own picnic ware and take what they give me and put it into picnic style deeper dish. It wouldn't go on the flat plate.

Burrito lengua, meat was good, other things decent. Rice beans could use more taste or flavor smell. Gave 1 red salsa to go, could use another.

Absolutely DevineFun outdoor atmosphere with a pretty wall painting Felt like eating with the food truck setting with very authentic Mexican fare and seating area is clean and you can enjoy the interesting international blvd scene The tostada was very fresh and crispy with the shrimp ceviches toppings no excellent fresh tomato's and onions add extra crunch The spicy pork was very flavorful definitely need to return

Amazing. Just amazing. I was recommended to try this place if I liked seafood and their ceviche did not disappoint. You order at the window (cash only) and they call your number over the speakers, both in Spanish and English.I ordered 2 shrimp ceviche ($10 for the pair) and a can of coke for $1.75.The ceviche is huge!!!! You really get a lot for your money. And best of all, it tastes absolutely amazing. Spicy, citrus-filled, and fresh! Pros:-they have their own free parking lot-they have outdoor dining which is perfect during covid-staff is friendly-ceviche is on point-reasonably priced -they have music playing outsideCons:-it is cash only Overall, excellent spot!

This doesn't apply to most foods. But when it comes to burritos, once I find places I like, rarely will I be adventurous and try a taqueria I've never been to. Because why take a chance of being disappointed? Why waste 1000 calories eating something mediocre? That being said, this Shelter-in-place has closed down over half of the taquerias on International Blvd in Oakland. My go-to taquerias were all closed, so driving down International I landed in front of Mariscos La Costa.I thought to myself, ok, "Mariscos". So they must specialize in seafood. From the pics it looks like they carry ceviche and different items from regular Taquerias. But I had my heart set on a Al Pastor Burrito and a Steak quesadilla.Al Pastor Burrito: the burrito is a decent size at the fair price of $8. The taste was ok but they go really heavy on the onions. You know how Nations is famous for the pile of raw onions they put in their burgers? Well I actually like that refreshing crunch of onions in my burger. But in my burrito, I thought it was overbearing. Made it taste like I ordered an onion burrito.Steak Quesadilla: my wife ate this item. She said it was ok. Nothing special or memorable for her. Based on just visually for me, it looked disappointing from other Taqueria's quesadillas I've seen.In a pinch, I say go to Mariscos La Costa. It's not the best but it passable and the prices are lower than most if not all other Taquerias. That makes it a place worth trying at least once, and possibly a second time when a Worldwide Pandemic threatens to wipe out earth's entire population.

***3.5 starsFun, lively outdoor seating resto. Reminds me of a drive in of yester year.Just finished at dentist and was starving afterwards. Decided to give this place a try. Got the agua chile con camarones to go. Pretty tasty, but the sauce seems like they put ketchup in it, which for agua chile is weird to me. Fresh tasting and lots of little shrimps. I don't think they marinate the shrimp in citrus juice beforehand, as the shrimps were raw raw when I first got the cocktail. I squeezed lots more lime juice and tapatio into the cocktail and let it sit a couple of hours before eating. Prices are what you would expect for any kind of seafood.Cash only!

The food is delicious and well priced. Staff is always kind and respectful. I enjoy it a lot and recommend it to everyone
