Restaurant Review: La Costa, 3113 S Western, OKC 405-616-9551 (other locations at 2608 S May, 1503 SW 29th); Date 26Aug08, Lunch (1:00 PM).

Ate here on the recommendation of Kent Eldridge, neighbor, judge, Workman's Comp Court. I was late for lunch and not many people were there. I sat down immediately at a clean table, and soon had chips, queso, and salsa verde. I ordered the fried tilapia, which came with rice and beans (I could have chosen the salad). The whole gutted fish arrived, deeply scored on both sides, fried (and crusted?), with the rice and beans, and my choice of flour tortillas. The fish was great, rice and beans average. Price $9.00 plus tax and tip. I hear (from Kent that) the guacamole is very good.
