About this spot

La Costa Méxican Restaurant sits on Eastern Boulevard in Montgomery, Alabama, in a busy retail corridor that makes it an easy stop for shoppers and after-work diners alike. The restaurant has built a reputation locally for its lively, music-filled atmosphere as much as its food.

Menu highlights include the Vaquero's Nachos Supreme, piled with beef, beans, and fresh toppings, along with a Portabello Mushroom Quesadilla finished with pepper jack cheese and sour cream, and a six-piece order of lightly breaded Jalapeño Poppers. Guests frequently order the Molcajete Mexicano, the barbacoa and shrimp tacos, and the chimichangas, while desserts like cheesecake and chocolate chimichanga close out the meal.

Tuesdays bring a live DJ spinning hip-hop, giving the dining room a different energy than the typical sit-down taco spot. With outdoor seating, frozen margaritas, and a casual-but-festive vibe, La Costa works well for celebrations, group dinners, or a louder night out.
