Phenomenal authentic Mexican food. This place is really a hidden gem, I would not have expected to find such a good spot in a place like this. The birria pizza is novel and quite tasty! Staff is friendly as well. The prices are so low I almost worry about how they will stay in business but I can hardly complain.
The food was so good, had to come back next week with friends. Tacos, quesadilla and burritos are Amazing! And the guy that works here is very kind and friendly and most importantly he’s the one that makes this delicious food!
I love my experience my here. I got the 5 spicy pork tacos! It was very flavorful and delicious. The cashier was very nice and gave good recommendations. He has great customer service and was very nice. Just an overall great experience and atmosphere. Wish I live closer just to eat here more!
If I could leave 10 stars, I would! This hidden gem is amazing and absolutely delicious. We needed a spot close by to eat between baseball games and found Costa Sur on a google search. Food: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Pricing: 10/10 Do yourself a favor, check this place out immediately. We can’t wait to go back!
Our daughter introduced us to her favorite gas station Mexican food on the way to Stevens Pass. While I haven't tried any of the other options on this route, I don't feel a need to. We had their 5 tacos for 11 special, plus a few other assorted tacos, and topped it off with their amazing Quesabirria (basically a small birria quesadilla dipped in birria broth and fried) - messy but spectacular. There is seating at the counter (delightful for watching the friendly staff work), or if weather permits, there are picnic tables outside with a view of the gas pumps. My 'atmosphere' rating is purely because of the filling station location - the dine-in counter inside is very pleasant. This gem is not well marked - it's in the Food Mart at the Mobil station on Rt 2, just a few blocks from the intersection with Rt 522.
Very nice guy and good food. I ate there yesterday, and i went back today . He had a good deal on tacos, and they were really good. I usually stop by Papa Murphy and noticed this new spot by accident. Definitely should go and try it. It's very good and way better than most fancy places around.
This has been become our favorite Mexican food take out. Yes, more so than the trucks. The Birria tacos are amazing. The Torta is awesome but I forgot to take a picture. The portions are quite large so I think we will start splitting the entries. So far everything has been very good. The counter in inside the Mobil station and close Saturday at 3pm and closed all day Sunday.
Delicious birria tacos. Also got the 5 taco combo which was actually a great deal. Salsas were good. Nice clean spot. Friendly folks running the place. Will come back
