Five stars across the board! The food and service are just as good as any spot in the area, but what sets this place apart is the atmosphere. The outdoor seating is superior to other restaurants in nearby Santa Cruz, making the overall experience exceptional. Well worth the drive for me.
These little birds were everywhere in the patio, so don’t leave your food alone ⬛

Stopped by randomly on a drive back to San Jose after noticing the “open” sign, and so glad we did! The food was very fresh and completely delicious, and they are happy to accommodate random requests or alterations. I look forward to the next visit. 🙂

Great little Taqueria with excellent wet burritos, and a Charming Sunny-shady little patio! The spicy shrimp burrito with Verde sauce was outstanding and huge!

I ordered a carnival burrito and it was quickly delivered. However, whe I was eating it I found several (4) pieces of bone in the burrito. When I brought it up to the counter to let them know the server just said ‘yeah there’s bones in carnitas’. Personality I haven’t come across bones with carnitas before and didn’t finish the burrito since I was worried about my teeth and choking.
Maybe the other items are much better? Not a great experience overall.

Beautiful view, especially at sunset. Excellent food. The salsa that came with the chips was delicious. I had the grilled shrimp, it was so fresh and very tasty. Everyone I was with enjoyed the food. The breading on the chicken tenders was amazing.

I’m so glad we ran across Costa Azul during our drive up the coast! Their food was absolutely amazing! I ordered 3 different tacos, all of which were delicious. I also ordered the guacamole and was surprised at the large portion size. My husband got a burrito and loved it. The service was quick and friendly. We would 100% come back here again if we’re ever in the area!

Costa Azul was a great place to grab some tacos and a home cooked chili relleno in a beautiful spot right off on highway one. It had a very welcoming and laid back vibe, and great seating both indoors and outdoors. The service at the counter was super friendly!
