This one hurts.

The San Bernardino La Costa Ostioneria, 464 S. Mount Vernon Ave., has closed.

In a city full of Mexican restaurants, La Costa, housed in a former Dairy Queen, was our top pick for authentic Mexican fare and delicious seafood.

Not sure exactly when it closed, but the most recent review on Yelp is from the end of January.

I realize there’s another location in Redlands and although I believe the two restaurants were connected at one time, they haven’t been for a long time.

I’m really going to miss La Costa. Somebody let us know if Lupe and crew surface somewhere else.

Sigh.
