Mariscos Los Costa is south, like very south, San Jose. Situated in the middle of a parking lot, this extremely busy taqueria was a surprising find. Maybe even the best tasting carne asada in San Jose..
The pulpo y camerones (octopus and shrimp) tostada was just ok. The chunks of shrimp were better than the slices of octopus. The addition of Tapatio and a squeeze of lime always helps out too.
I wouldn't normally order meat, especially carne asada (beef) from a place that specifically said mariscos (seafood) in their name. While I wasn't happy with the tortilla or the sloppy rolling of the burrito, the beans and meat were super flavorful. Possibly a lot of lard in the beans gave it its hearty flavor. There is not a lot of rice in the burrito, but that just allows for more beefy goodness.
