COSTILLA GRILL MEXICAN RESTAURANT 223 North Wabash Avenue, Lakeland, FL 33815

"Terribly slow service; what they show in the menu as "Parrillada" is just a fajitas plate with more onions and green peppers than skirt steak. There was a sole waitress attending the place, took my order and only showed up again with the food about 20 min later; never bothered to come to my table until I got up and went to the kitchen to ask for help when I was done eating. Hope you have a better experience than I did."

"I was really looking forward to eating here. I heard they were amazing. I was so sad when I got home to eat my food. It was awful. I paid $29 got 8 Barbacoa tacos and beans n rice. The barbacoa was super dry, the tortillas are very dry I couldn’t even eat them. No amount of Verde made them edible. They had no flavor at all. To top it off my rice had hair in it, also was pretty flavor less. Super disappointing."

"Delicious! The food here was way better than any of those fancy chain restaurants and it was affordable! You could feel the pride that went into it. It had a fresh home-cooked quality most places lack. I had a chicken burrito and my friend had steak tacos. The atmosphere feels like a small piece of Mexico. I will revisit!"

"Excellent food and friendly staff. This is a casual low key place with really good food. Chips and salsa was excellent - loved the green salsa. We also had guacamole that was some of the best I've ever had. For meals we had enchiladas verde, pastor tacos, and bar-b-q ribs. I thought it was kind of funny that my son got the ribs until I tasted them. They were seriously good - very tender and flavorful. If I get a craving for ribs I'm definitely coming back here. Also, will be coming back for the Mexican food for sure. Try it, you'll like it! Still great. Enchiladas Verdes was awesome."

"Out of the close to 200 reviews I have given, seeing this health issue in the middle of restaurant, made you lose 2 stars "Black Mold" is no laughing matter. The cold chips that you make and cold white queso which was another lost star. Truck hadn't come yet so was out of soda, steak, and several other things. I have to say food is good, won't be back because of the black mold. Might stop in to see you have fixed it or not, but till then I'll be going next door to pizza place. Black Mold takes time to form so why no one else has sad anything is surprising but only 36 reviews maybe thats why..."
