The restaurant relocated from Montara Beach to Half Moon Bay in May, 2021.The scenic California coast in Half Moon Bay, overlooks the Pillar Point Harbor with sweeping views of the beach and ocean. Just a short, beautiful drive from San Francisco (25 miles). The space is grand, with 180 degree windows, two stories, and a large outdoor terrace.
We also offer a full bar, domestic and imported Peruvian beers and a hand selected wine list. Come try our Pisco Sour – a classic Peruvian cocktail – and experience all that La Costanera has to offer…

What an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful. We definitely picked the perfect spot to celebrate my husband’s 30th birthday. Our server, Michael, was very friendly and helpful, and we even learned some very interesting facts from him! We can’t wait to come back. Thank you!

All I said was good morning, and my neighbor says “if you take him he’ll buy you lunch at La Costanera Restaurant”
Take who..where..I said..and he says..my friend Wally..he’s a hunchback, and has trouble sitting in cars, and needs a ride back to Half Moon Bay, but the shuttle bus that brought him to Napa wasn’t running for another 3 days, so can you take him, he’ll sit in the back of your truck, and you can strap him down so he doesn’t bounce around. Well, I thought about it, real hard because it’s illegal for sure ..but the thought of eating at La Costanera outweighed all else! My neighbor had a big cardboard box that his new refrigerator came in, and we put It in the back of the truck, and put Wally the hunchback in it, strapped it down and off we went!
And Man-O-Man was that a lunch! The catch of the day was amazing! 5 stars and well worth the trip! ☆☆☆☆☆

Went with my partner for Valentine’s Day and the staff and atmosphere was super lovely. The food was tasty and I’m excited to try other menu items. Teresa was the best and made the experience 10x better. Definitely coming back because of her.

An amazing experience in the harbor of Half Moon Bay! We came in on a weekend day trip looking for some good drinks and a nice view and wow were we amazed by the experience! KJ at the bar took such good care of us, the cocktails were YUMMY! Food was also fantastic, we were recommended a ceviche tasting, pulpo and arroz con mariscos which were all superb recommendations. We will definitely be back and tell our friends about this special gem in the harbor.

This was the absolute best Peruvian I’ve ever had. So flavorful, delicious and plated nicely. The service was great as was the atmosphere. Wish we lived closer. My main course was so good I ate it before I got a picture. My husband got the lamb and potato lasagna looking thing (very fancy description I know). The other pic is their tuna tartar or ceviche ( I forget which), but it was AMAZING!!

Very beautiful decoration and location. With indoor, outdoor, bar seating area. Just sad they didn’t open the second floor for lunch. Everything we order was absolutely delicious and love the seafood fried rice very much. It’s slightly pricey but very great food

The vegetarian food was average – paella felt bland and not as flavorful, the yucca fries felt too dry, the corn cob and desserts were good. The outside patio was nice with the heater. Sadly I didn’t get a good level of service which made the experience average. My first drink order was mixed up which caused a delay, then when I wanted to order second drink, I asked the server for menu which they brought but didn’t wait or come back to take the order, and by the time I was asked for drink order I had already finished my meal. Then after the appetizers, the server took the plate and asked to hold on to my silverware which was fine but then totally forgot about bringing the new plate and was chatting with other servers for a while until I waved and had to remind that I was still waiting on the plate. They weren’t even busy and for the price, I expected more prompt and caring service.

Came here for anniversary. Staff was great, food was great, drinks were amazing. Definitely want to suggest the chorizo empanada, the Pisco Chicha Morada, and the panna cotta. I’ll be coming back.

We had a very nice time here.
The food was flavorful and appealing.
Our server, Gimba, was extremely nice.
The cocktails were quite good. Beware–their flight of pisco sours was almost like three full size cocktails. Generous, but you’ll need lots of water and time to recover!

We sat at an outdoor table and waited for over 20 minutes without even a glass of water, and no waiter came to ask if we had ordered. I hope the waiters in this restaurant can be more attentive and pay more attention to the guests sitting outdoors. As for the food, drinks and snacks, they were all very good.
