Large-menu Mexican seafood spot with standout cocktails and cold bar for some, but service inconsistency and occasional freshness issues mean experiences vary widely by visit and time of day.
De Costa a Costa delivers an appealing Mexican seafood menu with variety, and the convenient WTC-adjacent location draws regulars. However, inconsistent execution—ranging from excellent cold bar items to overcooked fish and tough octopus—combined with polarized service quality and food safety concerns prevent a higher grade. Recent critical reviews suggest a moderate decline in reliability, making this a worthwhile neighborhood option for those nearby but not a destination worth traveling for.
One caveat: Service can be slow or inattentive; some report 30–60 minute waits for simple dishes
