| - I visited Coastal Taco on a Tuesday night. The place was HOPPIN'. I mean, very few seats in the place at all, so we grabbed a lounge/bar table and a margarita ($5 on Tuesdays) at the bar and sat down. The margaritas were wonderful - strong but not overpowering tequila-wise with a margarita mix that was not overly sweet.
We each ordered several tacos ($2 on Tuesday special) as well. I was delighted by the flavors. I had the portabello mushroom, mahi-mahi, and shrimp taco, and each had great flavor that really popped. I forget which taco, but one had cilantro, which I generally hate, but it was not overpowering and I ended up enjoying the overall taco as well as the flavor of the cilantro because of their restraint with it.
The two truly charming things about this restaurant are its location, overlooking the river with a beautiful view, and the odd selection of games they have. They have a couple of giant Jenga sets and that game a can't remember the name of where you throw the bean bag into the holes on the wooden board.
As far as service went, our server was lovely. A mistake was made in the kitchen (a few wrong tacos were brought out), and she left the extras for us to eat at no charge. That's the way to solidify your customer base and make up for an error!
Overall, I loved this place, and I will definitely come back again.
