The shrimp gambas was my favorite thing I had, and I’m just medium on shrimp.

I really want to do the Paella, but I don't go with someone who eats shellfish.

Scallops and Papas Bravas always a choice. Any fish or crudo dish as well.

Did chef's tasting a few weeks ago. Mentioned the scallops, mushrooms and another while ordering and they all came.

It was all good. The BBQ style shrimp were great.

I went a couple of months ago and we go the Beef Shank and Potato Bombas, Shishito Peppers and Crab Salad. All were outstanding.

Then the paella came for the entree. Super undercooked and really fishy smelling.

I like Costera but the paella is the worst thing on the menu, imo.

Bumping this to reiterate how amazing this place is.

Went with a decent size group last night and finally got the paella. It was some of the best I've had, and was a lot bigger than I anticipated. The patatas bravas, roasted mushrooms, and bambas were as good as always. The roasted honey tart is still one of my favorite deserts around.

All around this place is in my top 3 in the city right now.

And their cocktails and wine selection are excellent.

I love the firing squad, and my wife got something with mezcal that was very, very good. They said it was a newer drink, wish I remember the name of it.

It sounds basic, but trust me start with their gin and tonic.
