Review is from March 2024. My husband and I were visiting the area and decided to have lunch at La Costanera. It was a Saturday afternoon so there was a bit of a wait, but we eventually got seated at a high top table near the bar. We ordered: 1. Scallops Carlitos: The scallops were cooked perfectly, the corn sauce was delicious paired with the scallops, and the togarashi was an interesting addition to give it a bit of spice. 2. Pulpo a la Parilla: The octopus was also cooked perfectly. The purple mashed potatoes added a different texture to the dish but it did make the dish a bit heavy. 3. Langostinos Crocantes: Crispy and plump prawns. Similarly to the Pulpo a la Parilla, the sweet potato puree made the dish a bit heavy but the flavors were still delicious. 4. Pescado a lo Macho: The fish was tender and the dish was full of other seafood, including mussels, clams, calamari, and shrimp. The dish was paired with coconut rice, which we thought was too sweet, but we enjoyed the seafood. The dishes we ordered tasted so fresh and flavorful, I wish we could have ordered everything! We would love to come again if we're in the area!

Food is great, excellent service except for the manager who didn't allow us to seat at the bar with my dog even when we showed him all the credentials that prove is a certified service animal

We were a group of five hungry people. We started with the delicious Ceviche de pescado and Peruano to share. Then followed it with an individual entree for each. We had two Pescado Coatanera, Atún Criollo, a Lomo Saltado and Calamari. We were all satisfied with our selection but forgot to leave some room for desert. Also, enjoyable was the duet that was singing latin and English songs. The service was great, but we did not like getting seated on a four person table, after the fact that I had made reservation ahead of time.

Beautiful location, conveniently located at the harbor of Half Moon Bay. Staff is extremely kind and friendly service was great. Outdoors has really great live music on the weekends. Highly recommend making reservations for large groups or walking in with a small group of two or three.
