We had the calamari and the piece of calamari were about 8 pieces with 4 peppers. That dish was $20.00. We then had the seafood patella, $61.00. There was barely any rice and the seafood was very sandy. Overpriced for all the food. I am a foodie an

Vaca is a small cozy but upscale Spanish restaurant near Segerstrom Center for the Arts. The steak here is excellent - you can choose the cut and it comes out sizzling. It can cost a pretty penny, quite expensive depending on the cut and size. Their

Good meal (although expensive) but I feel they should be publicly shamed for trying to tack on a random 3% fee to your bill because "doing business in Costa Mesa is expensive". If it's expensive then up your prices vs taking advantage
