La Costeña is still in business. They were on Rengstorff and they're on Middlefield now. Either they're not very good or my expectations have increased considerably.
xcostena was an early X app done at SGI back in the day; fill out a form and it would fax the order to La Costeña. Arguably the beginnings of ecommerce. Back then, they were the closest available calories. This was before SuperMac Technologies started the gourmet lunch trend that companies should compete for their workers time.
- drmpeg 6y agoI agree. Current day La Costeña on Middlefield is nothing to write home about.
- neild 6y agoI’d do much for one more burrito from the old school La Costeña. They were so good. La Bamba had the best meat; just a plain pollo burrito was a thing of glory, and their carnitas was transcendent. But La Costeña was where it was at if you wanted a burrito with stuff in.
- philsnow 6y agoWas La Bamba the place that had the very very long burrito?
- neartheplain 6y agoThat's La Costeña. Their "super burrito" was very long indeed, compared to other taquerias where "super burrito" is typically the same length but with guac. As I recall, they had a mockup super burrito mounted on the wall along with the regular and small sizes. They also have a photo of their "world's longest burrito" record in the store, and on their website: http://costena.com/ http://costena.com/
