La Costa - Lehi

The chips were fresh, and the salsa was not only fresh but also packed with flavor. I also enjoyed a side of bean dip that was very tasty. My server was attentive, ensuring my drink was always topped up, and my food arrived promptly and served warm. The atmosphere was pleasant as well. This seems like a place I would definitely consider visiting again if I'm ever in American Fork.

We had made reservations, but when we arrived, we were told that there wasn't a table available yet. To make matters worse, they seated four other parties before us, and I know for a fact that some of them didn't have reservations—one group even walked in after us. It was a rocky start to our experience. On a positive note, the chips and dips were tasty, and we really enjoyed the taquito appetizer. However, the rest of the food was just mediocre, and the service was similarly lackluster. The fried ice cream was a major letdown. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place, as there are definitely better Mexican restaurants in the area.

I found the carnitas to be quite bland. The Spanish rice and refried beans were decent, but nothing special. The salsa is excellent, though it could use a bit more heat. The weed dishes were fantastic. The restaurant is clean and features large TV screens for watching the game, and there's plenty of parking available. However, I probably won't be coming back.

I absolutely love Mexican food. I’m surprised to say that I don’t think anything was made with any spice. I usually have my food made with extra red sauce since I absolutely love my food hot and spicy. There was absolutely no zing or hotnesswhatsoever. Even the sauce isn’t spicy, but rather sweet. If you don’t like spicy food then this place is a solid 4-5 starsfor you!

The waitstaff was top notch and friendly. They were busy when we came but they did a great job letting you know. The food however was subpar. Everything from the entrees to the chips needed more salt/seasoning. Carne asada was cooked nicely butlacked flavor. Chimichanga was fried to perfection but again flavors were standard.
