If you are looking for a festive, gastronomic experience, I unwaveringly recommend Mariscos Costa Alegre in Alum Rock. I was weaned in Mexico, so any restaurant that takes me back to my childhood is a treasure. My friend and I went for the second time, and it was even better than the first time. Bertha was our server and guide. She made sure the we enjoyed our experience. The meal always starts with a small cup of shrimp stock. I wish they sold it by the gallon! Our appetizer was a perfect guacamole...and there was more than enough for two. My friend is always adventurous when it comes to food. This time he followed my lead and got their signature dish - Molcajete Costa Alegre. A seafood mix of head-on and peeled shrimp, crab legs, octopus, Tilapia fish filet, green mussels in chipotle cream sauce with nopal, cilantro, and jalapeños. Served with handmade tortillas. According to my friend, this dish is Michelin Star quality. While there is no doubt that the food was outstanding, the 11-piece mariachi band was over the top!!! Yes they are a little loud, but they added so much atmosphere. If you have any room for desert, I recommend that you try Mexico Bakery, just across the street. Again, my thanks to Mariscos Costa Alegre and Bertha for a wonderful evening.
