About Costa Taco Burleigh

Just off the Burleigh surf, Costa Taco dials Mexican street food down to hot planchas, salt, and crisp corn tortillas. Gold Coast diners zero in on the griddled beef tacos dipped into cups of savoury consomé, flanked by crunchy Baja fish and shareable nachos. The dining room runs fast and informal—plates drop in rapid waves, while ice-cold coconut margaritas balance out the hot sauces.

  • Authentic Street Bites: Patrons regularly pair charred street-style elote with crisp fish tacos and cheesy quesabirrias dunked into rich consomé.
  • Regional Mexican Drinks: The bar crafts tart tamarindo sips alongside cold micheladas and popular coconut margaritas to beat coastal heat.
  • Coastal Vacation Vibe: Just a short walk from the waves, the dining room channels a relaxed holiday pace suited for group taco spreads.
