    I've actually been enjoying Cali Costa for almost the entire 3 years I've lived here in Dana Point, but for some reason haven't left a review. I love the Atmosphere, the Ambience and laid back Chillness of the place; it's very casual and easygoing, the Perfect Place to enjoy a Happy Hour, which we did today after hiking miles n miles to build up our thirst and appetite. The margaritas are always delish, and the beers on tap are mostly local, and wonderfully priced. Our bartender Leslie was super hospitable, and made us feel super welcome and appreciated. We split both a Happy hour food item, the Hawaiian Pulled Pork Nachos, and though my gf is mostly vegetarian, she loved them, enough to share an amazing Monday Wagyu Burger n fries too!! It was exactly what I needed after a week of serving cocktails n margaritas myself, as a Mixologist and Bartender, and was truly the highlight of my day!! If you like good tacos, excellent Mexican foods and great margaritas....you NEED to get your butt here!!!

    Casual restaurant with big screen tvs throughout and an indoor outdoor bar and patio. They have great Monday night specials, Taco Tuesday’s, and Sundays Game day specials. Margaritas and tacos were great! Highly recommend for a casual outing.

    Tried Cali Costa Restaurant & Cantina and it’s such a great spot. The food was packed with flavor, drinks were on point, and the whole place has a really fun energy. It’s also an awesome place to catch a game—perfect setup to hang out, eat well, and actually enjoy watching sports. Definitely one of those spots you’ll want to come back to.

    Very fun place, the staff were extra friendly and helpful. We arrived shortly after they had taken an order for a party of 40 and were nice and told us it could be a boot to get our food. That was nice that they were honest. Had some great drinks, so it was all fine. The food was very good, and the presentation was excellent. Adam was our server, very nice and attentive. Lots of big screens with every sport imaginable on, it is lively. Great bar area to just hang out in as well.
