La Costena Mexican Grill

Two months ago, I would have given this place 5 stars because the food was cheap and really delicious but a lot has changed since then. In the last two months. I have gone by three times during lunch time (between 11 and 1pm) and it was closed the first two times. Really? closed during lunch?
The place is now under new management and ownership which is evident in the quality of the food. Its just not the same. The service was good and the half liter glass Coke bottles are a nice touch. The prices are still reasonable but the portions are smaller and the quality is not as great. It might be awhile before I come back.
It is also a little disappointing that they were ringing me up using a notepad and a small calculator. Maybe their cash register (which is hard to miss) is broken?

This place is a take out place completely. Yea you can eat there but it’s outside seating and pretty much looks like a dive.
It had a limited menu (which part was not posted), It’s completely old Mexico roadside style taco stand eating but… the food was really good and home made. The taquitos were the ONLY homemade ones I had had for a very long time, guacamole, burritos and tacos all were good. The people there were very sweet.

really excellent and quick Mexican food. One of my favorite places to get Carne Asada Burritos and Tacos. The food is simply fantastic.
There are two reasons why I don’t give it 5 stars.
–1^st is the business does not keep regular business hours and is often closed for no apparent reason at random times
–2^nd, I am somewhat suspicious that I, being a «gringo» am charged more than their average customer, being that a single burrito costs me about $ 8 sometimes, but depending on who happens to be working its more like $ 6. Hmm.
