Best places to eat & drink in Crescent Head

Crescent Head is the place of early morning coffees for a surf check and long lunches whilst soaking up the sun and beachy vibe of this awesome coastal town. 

La COSTA CANTINA

Inspired by the dramatic sunsets of Cabo San Lucas, La Costa Cantina on Pacific Street in Crescent Head pays homage to the travels of wandering souls. Bringing Mexican vibes to the Mid-north Coast of NSW, sandy feet are welcome at this cantina where chilling out with tacos and tequila is the name of the game; either alfresco under thatched umbrellas, or indoors where neon signage sets the tune for evening fun. Say arriba to starters of barramundi ceviche, lime and coriander, or spicy soft-shell crab, corn salad and pico de costa; before gourmet tacos such as fried calamari, chipotle mayo, pickled cabbage, onion and pico de gallo. Wrap your hands around a grilled beef quesadilla, with Mexican cheese, seasoned kidney beans, red salsa, guacamole, sour cream and a side of loaded fries.
