Costa Grande Mexican Restaurant - (Near Auburn, NY)

5 /5 Matthew Cowen: Stopped for a friday dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Started with guacamole azteca (perfect to share). Had 3 steak tacos and my guest had the chicken tamales, both were excellent. Our server was nice, attentive, and she did an excellent job. *love* the horchata. Great tasting food at a great price! We will be back!

5 /5 Matt Chilcott: If youre looking for good food, huge portions and a laid back atmosphere this place is great. My wife had the beef chimichangas and I had the arroz con pollo. Both were delicious and VERY large portions. The white cheese dip was what youd expect, but also only $6! for a large bowl. The salsa was delicious, not just pureed tomatoes like some other restaurants. Wife said she "could drink the salsa." Were visiting from out of town, but would eat here often if we were local. Definitely recommend.

3 /5 Nicole Gabriel: This place is located in the big lots plaza. The interior is pretty big and has painted wall murals on several walls. I ordered the fajitas grande it has beef , shrimp and chicken in it. It came with beans and rice and guacamole salad . I enjoyed my fajitas. They werent overly seasoned which was nice. However I did think it could have used a bit more seasoning than what it had. My company ordered the carne asada. It came with beans and rice and some kinda sauce on the side.He said that it was pretty good and would order it again. They bring complimentary tortilla chips and salsa to your table when you arrive. I wanted to order a margarita however they arent serving alcohol yet. They have a bar area when you first walk in. However it wasnt set up or stocked yet. Not sure if they are waiting on their liquor license still or what.Overall I would say I enjoyed this place and would recommend giving it a try. I will be going back again sometime for sure.

2 /5 Nicole Tedesche: While the presentation of the food was nice I did not love the sauce that was on the dish we ordered. The dish was Pina Costena. It was served in half of a pineapple listed under chef specials. Fresh pineapple, shrimp, steak & chicken. Barely any pineapple and what was in there was diced very tiny, only four shrimp in the whole dish which were on a skewer. The server was nice however he did not understand us do to the language barrier. I wish I spoke better Spanish to be able to speak Spanish to him. The menu states the dish we chose came with a drink. I asked him about non alcoholic drinks maybe like a frozen berry mocktail. He just told me he had beer and wine available. One of the reasons we were trying this place out was bc of the drinks we had seen online and on socials that looked good. Plus whatever sauce was on the food I did not like. The queso was good. I’m not sure if I would try this place again if so maybe I would order something else. I had heard another waiter ask the table he was waiting on if they would like flour or corn tortillas we were not offered an option. Out waiter did bring two flour tortillas wrapped in foil sitting on the bowl of rice and beans. The portion of the dish was huge we both ate from it and had a lot left over to take home as well. They provided complimentary salsa which was provided with multi color chips was delicious.

5 /5 Emma Schenck: Delicious food and outstanding service!! The atmosphere is fun and inviting; warm, ambient lighting, Latin music, wait staff walking around with genuine smiles on their faces, and aesthetics that radiate authentic Mexican vibe. My favorite dish is Arroz Con Pollo. The portion size is surprisingly generous! The flavor is just amazing. Today, I wanted to try something new so I also ordered sides of Chicken Tamale and Chile Relleno and omg they were sooo good. 10 out of 10. You gotta try this place!
