Costa Contemporary Kitchen - Costa Mesa, California

Randy Blackston

The owner greeted us at the door. Being new to Peruvian food, he provided a thorough overview of the various entrees. We started with the empanadas, had ceviche as our second course and the shrimp and filet as our main course. We shared each course as the portions were generous. We had the Watermelon Fresca cocktail. This was a spectacular culinary experience.

Peruvian fusion cuisine.
Entering the restaurant we were asked if we had a reservation, even though they were nearly empty.
Mar y tierra tallarín had a lot of sauce that tasted too fishy. They had no chicha till Monday, it was a Saturday. Lomo tasted good, despite the large potato cubes. Dessert was delicious.
Portions were super small, but prices are very high.

The place is really nice, my boyfriend and I sat on the bar, Apo, the server and bartender explained all the menu and suggested some drinks and his favorite plates, he was super nice and helpful, he provided an excellence service and experience!! We loved the food and Apo prepared the best Pisco drinks I've tried in OC. We definitely want to go back soon 🙂

Absolutely fantastic. You can taste the passion behind each dish and cocktail.

My wife and I had the original Pisco Sour and Sandia Fresca. Hector, the creator of the cocktail menu, shared his ideas and execution behind the drinks, and also allowed us to try two cocktails which will be on the menu soon (watermelon and Serrano pepper, and a pineapple mint mojito spin off). All four cocktails were absolutely out of this WORLD. Literally the best we’ve ever had. Perfectly balanced, so fresh, and ridiculously flavorful without being too sweet or obtrusive in any way.

The pescado a lo macho was absolutely delicious, as was the tallarin verde con filete. Portions were excellent, and every bite was better than the last.

Hector was wonderful, and accommodated us very nicely after having to wait a few extra minutes for our table. This place is busy, so make reservations, but it’s very VERY worth it.

Great vibes. Celebrated a birthday with flan. Tallarines verdes with filet mignon were great and the sandia drink was amazing. Limo saltado was delicious too. People who work there are friendly and it’s truly an authentic Peruvian restaurant.

First and foremost, the service here was 5/5. Hector, the bar manager, was fantastic as was the rest of the crew. Hands down the best service I've come across in a long time. Additionally, the drinks were absolutely amazing here. Everything is authentic & made with some serious attention. The ceviche classico & pisco sour are the best Peruvian I've had outside of Peru. The old fashion and the pulpo are also highly recommended.

Honestamente mi experiencia fue terrible, pedí un pescado a lo macho, y me dieron picante de pescado!!.a mi hija un lomo con 3 papas!! no se si fue porque lo pedí para llevar y las porciones bien pequeñas. La verdad conozco bien mi comida y lo que me sirvieron, estaba lejos a lo que se asemeja a los platos de la comida Peruana.

I went there with two friends and all of us are happy about our food. The fried potatoes are amazingly good and the purple drink is interesting (light sweet and has a special flavor).
