Mariscos Costa Alegre Restaurant & Bar

Private website & growth proposal · 31 October 2026

A coastal table.
A stronger welcome.

Family recipes, three San Jose locations and a patio that fills on a weekend. A proposed website that makes the menu, the locations and the phone number easy to find.

02 / Website audit · public pages checked 31 October 2026

The food is the draw.
The website is a detour.

Six observable problems on mariscoscostaalegre.com. Not taste — friction a hungry guest meets before the first plate: a menu locked in a Drive file, no hours anywhere, and a phone number two clicks away.

01

The menu is a Drive file.

/menu embeds a Google Drive preview of a 20-page PDF. No dish name appears in the page’s own text; the preview is a third-party embed.

SOURCE · /menu · 1 Drive iframe

03

The homepage has no tap-to-call.

0 tel: links on the homepage. The number appears only after choosing a location and opening its detail page.

SOURCE · homepage · 0 tel: links

04

The locations page withholds the details.

Three names and three “View More” buttons. No address, phone number or hours on the page itself.

SOURCE · /locations · names only

05

Two answers about how many locations.

The site says “3 Beautiful Locations.” The embedded menu says “Visit all 4 of our locations” and lists a Gilroy address. One of them is out of date.

SOURCE · /locations vs menu PDF, page 1

10.1 MB before the first plate.

85 requests on the homepage. The console logs a failed Weglot request (403, “project has been deleted”) and two Typekit 500s. The meta description is empty.

02 / 09 · The AuditEvery finding is a public page observation, not a customer comment.

03 / The familia · one name, three neighborhoods

A family recipe book.
Three San Jose tables.

Family-run since 2018. The same familia runs all three San Jose locations, with a menu that moves from the cold bar to the hot kitchen to Mexican sushi.

The Costa Alegre patio, shaded and full of guests at lunch
THE PATIO · PUBLIC PHOTOShade, tables and a room that already works. The website should feel like this.
01 · Cold bar

Aguachile Tricolor · Ceviche Camaron · Ostiones

Cold, bright and photogenic. The first thing a new guest searches for.

02 · Hot kitchen

Molcajete · Tacos Gobernador · Camarones Rocas

The dishes that arrive at the table with steam — and the reason to come in.

03 · Mexican sushi

Sushi California · Sushi pastor · Honey Chipotle

A Costa Alegre signature. Almost invisible in the current menu preview.

THREE SAN JOSE LOCATIONSSource

Addresses and numbers verified on the restaurant’s own location pages. Hours are not published on the current site.

03 / 09 · The FamiliaDish names from the published menu. No prices shown.

04 / The guest journey · find · choose · order

From “mariscos near me”
to a seat at the table.

Three decisions every hungry guest makes. Today the site makes each one work harder than it should. This is the path we would clear.

01FindSearch & menu

“Do they have aguachiles?”

Today The menu is a Drive preview. Google can index the page, not the dishes.

A readable menu page gives every dish a name, a category and a photograph — the things a guest and a search engine both need.

What we’d buildMenu pages by category, with dish names and photos approved by the family.
02ChooseThree locations

“Which one is closest?”

Today Names only on /locations; the address and phone are one click deeper.

One location card carries the address, a tap-to-call button, directions, hours and the order link for that kitchen.

What we’d buildCall · Directions · Hours · Order, together for each location.
03OrderPickup & catering

“Can I order for a party?”

Today One “Order Delivery” route, repeated in the header and footer.

Keep the existing order link prominent. Add a catering request with date, headcount and pickup location for your team to answer.

What we’d buildThe current order route, plus a guided party-tray request.

04 / 09 · The GuestOrdering integration stays with the restaurant’s existing provider.

05 / Your new website · working concept

Bring the table
closer to every guest.

A homepage, a readable menu and three location pages built around the real dishes and the real rooms. Try the tabs, the menu filters and the phone view.

  • 01
    A location bar that follows the guest

    Call, directions, hours and the order link stay with the location the guest picks.

  • 02
    A menu Google can read

    Dish names, categories and photographs on the page — not inside a PDF preview.

  • 03
    Catering without phone tag

    Date, headcount and pickup location in one request your team can confirm.

Illustrative concept. Dish names, dish photographs and the storefront image are the restaurant’s own public material; hours are a launch input, not a published schedule.

07 / 09 · The PlanTargets, not guarantees. Scope confirmed in writing first.

08 / Engagement · how a decision becomes a launch

A small,
clear first engagement.

No open-ended retainer and no access requested today. Start with the menu, the three locations and a working first version. Add the rest when it earns its place.

01

What we’d do first

  1. Workshop One working session on the menu, the rooms and the three locations.
  2. Design Homepage, menu, locations and a catering request.
  3. Build Responsive pages, tested on phones, launched with your approval.
02

What we’d need from you

  1. The menu source Your current file, plus any dish photos you want used.
  2. Hours per location The one fact the current site never publishes.
  3. Ordering link The existing provider stays; we link to it clearly.

Domain and hosting access only at launch, never before.

03

What you’d get

  1. A working site Fast on a phone, readable in a search result.
  2. A launch checklist Every page, link and phone number checked.
  3. A 60-day review A real conversation about what guests use.

Scope and fee confirmed in writing after a scope call.

This deck is a proposal, not an agreement. No price, booking or performance result is implied.

08 / 09 · The StartNo client contact details are collected on this page.

09 / The invitation · a conversation, not a contract

Let’s bring more guests
to Costa Alegre’s table.

Bring the menu, the three locations and the questions. We’ll walk through the proposed pages and agree which improvements would help your guests most.
