Tacos de barbacoa
Slow cooked beef, white onion and cilantro, corn tortillas.
La Costa Mexicana
Dip the taco.
Birria quesatacos come four to a plate with a cup of consomé beside them. That cup is not a garnish.
Sample photograph for this proposal. Our own quesatacos would be shot here.
Four tacos, one cup of consomé, no instructions given.
Beef cooked birria style, Monterey cheese on the griddle, cilantro and onion, rice and beans on the side.
If it is your first time, order it and do not ask what to do with the cup. Everybody figures it out by the second taco.
The rest of the card
A short reading of the menu, set for this proposal. The full card runs longer and would be typed from the restaurant's own list.

Tacos de carne asada
Chopped grilled steak. The plainest thing here and one of the best.

04
Espinaca enchiladas
Spinach and cheese, for the person at the table who is tired of being asked.

The house shrimp plate the restaurant took its name from.
07
Pollo al mar
Grilled chicken under shrimp and cheese sauce.
08
Grilled tilapia
Fillet, rice, vegetables. Nothing hiding under sauce.
Also
Chips and salsa arrive before you have taken your coat off. There is a kids card with tenders on it, a weekday specials card Monday through Thursday, and desserts made in the building. Prices are not printed on this page: this is a design proposal, and the real numbers come from the restaurant.
Sample photograph. Full bar, margaritas built to the flavor you name, rocks or frozen. Happy hour Monday through Thursday.
