Great tacos & mexican option for the area. The Carne Asada Tacos was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Elote was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Chips & Queso and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Solid spot. The Carne Asada Tacos is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Coast Provisions has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Fish Tacos but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
