Mariscos La Costa

We were looking for something fast and easy and in the way to Oakland airport. This place was about 5 minutes from Oakland airport. Basically you order you food and has outside seating but with overhead roofing. Very comfortable and you can feel the fresh air. Free parking lot which is a big plus. The food was amazing! It tasted very authentic Mexican Food. Big servings for a small price!

The campechana was excellent. I ordered the super size, and was hoping I wasn't paying too much. It was totally worth it. I asked them to hold the jaiba (artificial crab), and the bowl was still full. It was packed with shrimp, avocado, octopus, and included 2 oysters. The octopus was fresh- I've been to more than one place where it's starting to turn and has a bit of an ammonia smell, but not here. The sauce was was flavorful and spicy. I didn't need to add any sauces, though I did squeeze in most of the large 1/2 lime that was included. I can't imagine how spicy their aguachiles must be- I'm not brave enough to try one! Their jamaica was also to my liking, tart with a good balance of sweetness. I had already eaten a bit before I took the picture- the bowl was full to the brim when I got it. They even have parking! Definitely worth a try if you're in the area- I think it's going to be my go-to for this type of food.
