Costa del Sol - Powell River

I love the food here and the atmosphere. The servers are amazing as well. I always order the same thing everytime, the jambalaya bowl. But lately it has not been as good. The rice is now just plain white rice which it used to be cooked in some sort of tomato broth. As well more often then not I get home and find there is no shrimp in it.

The food is ok. You’re not going to go and be disappointed. It it great? No. Is it bad? No.I had the duelling enchiladas. The flavour was really nice, a little small for the price, but then they put this bowl of flavourless rice on the side of it. It just didn’t make any sense. Was I just supposed to eat the rice like that? There wasn’t enough sauce or space in my enchilada dish to mix it. Felt like a lame filler.My wife got the Veggie burrito. Also had some nice flavours in it, the yams were cooked nice, but half of the burrito was filled with that flavourless rice again. It definitely needed some salsa and guacamole. We did order a side of guacamole which really helped the dish, but that was an $3? Maybe 4? Can’t remember…of an already just ok $19.50 burrito. The burrito was also served with a handful chips, but what good are they if you have nothing to dip them in?I also ordered the horchada which was nice for the first few sips, but then it just got sweeter and sweeter to the point where it was just too much. I guess it just wants mixed well.My wife and I really enjoyed the cucumber lavender drink though. Super refreshing.Would I go back here? Maybe. It’s a pleasant setting. But I wouldn’t go out of my way.

If I could I would give this more than 5 stars. Lovely atmosphere, wonderful staff and the food was out of this world. One of the best meals we’ve had in a restaurant in ages, including in Mexico. Portions were large and prices so reasonable.

Food is delicious! Took awhile for the food to come. But staff was friendly. And get the polenta street corn fries!!!

A favourite place to bring visitors! The food and specialty drinks were spectacular. I absolutely love the new stairs ! You never let us down.
