At 2859 University Ave in North Park, La Costa Fusión Cuisine merges traditional Mexican cooking with Latin American and global influences drawn from Acapulco-rooted recipes. The University Avenue dining corridor places it near Encontro North Park, where brunch and daytime traffic complement La Costa’s dinner-focused format. The menu highlights grilled octopus tacos in chile mojo, shrimp ceviche, birria tacos, and a three-quarter-pound burger topped with Oaxaca cheese, alongside house margaritas and hibiscus sangria. Guests seeking craft cocktails before or after dinner can walk west to Black Radish on the same University Avenue strip. The kitchen handles full-service catering and private events, building custom taco bars and ceviche stations for groups booking the restaurant’s live-music programming.
