Welcome to Flavor Town, South Texas Style

If you’re in McAllen and craving a taste of bold Tex-Mex, a dash of coastal flair, and a splash of top-shelf tequila, then Costa Messa Restaurant is your new go-to. This gem on N 10th Street is more than just another Mexican joint—it’s a full-on fiesta with a cozy atmosphere, authentic food, and killer cocktails. Whether you’re out with friends, hosting a family dinner, or planning a romantic date night, Costa Messa brings the heat every time.

🌯 What's on the Menu? A Flamin’ Flavor Bomb

This ain’t your basic chips-and-salsa situation. Costa Messa serves up dishes with serious attitude and flavor.

Here’s what’s poppin’ on the menu:

• Queso Flameado – Melted cheese with chorizo... yes please.

• Street Tacos – Choose your meat (we’re talkin’ fajita beef, shrimp, chicken, even carnitas), and enjoy them on soft corn tortillas with fresh cilantro and onions.

• Camarones a la Costa Messa – Shrimp sautéed in garlic butter and served with rice and grilled veggies. Fancy, but still muy delicioso.

• Parrilladas – Great for groups—this sizzling platter comes loaded with grilled meats, onions, peppers, and more.

Pair it all with a frozen margarita (classic lime or mango swirl if you’re feelin’ fun), and you’re golden.

🕯️ The Vibe: Classy Yet Comfy

The decor is rustic but modern, with dim lighting, colorful tiles, and just enough greenery to make you feel like you’re on a vacation south of the border. The vibe here strikes that sweet spot between upscale dining and laid-back neighborhood hangout. There’s outdoor seating for those breezy McAllen evenings, and the service? Always on point—attentive, friendly, and quick with the chips.

🪇 Live Music & Happy Hour? Say Less.

One of the best parts about Costa Messa is that they know how to throw a party. On weekends, you can catch live mariachi music or acoustic sets that set the mood just right. And if you’re rolling in after work, take advantage of their happy hour specials—discounted margaritas, half-price apps, and more.
