Wonderful place to find food that exceeds your tastebuds expectations! Simple. Affordable. Delicious. That's Costa Vida. I'll return again and again; you will too, once you experience their food!

H-E-double-hockey-sticks has this happy valley Costa Vida gone down the crapper. I've been coming here for about two years and will consider this my breakup letter. Keep in mind this rating is not for the chain as a whole (I've had mostly good experiences overall) but just this particular location. I'm almost at a loss where to start. First of all, this location doesn't show up right in yelp or google maps. But hey, that's not their bad (so I'd assume), so can't really bag on that. Next, I had multiple nights where I tried to stop in before 9:30pm and even though the open sign was on, the schedule on the door and online clearly lists closing time at 10pm, the front door was locked and they were cleaning the lobby. Don't get me wrong I can sympathize with high school kids wanting to close up shop and get home 15 minutes before close when no one is in the lobby but 40+ minutes? Seriously? Either that's some major work theft going on or the owner just lets them off early. Regardless that blows when you've made a trip out of your way. I had another time I called in an order and was given a 10 minute estimated prep time. I got there 20 minutes later on a time crunch and they hadn't even started making it yet. Next, on my last and final visit the black beans weren't even completely cooked. But hey, maybe you'll be into the free crunch on your burrito. I wanted so badly to give this place one star but as the saying goes it could have been worse. After all, you get to watch your food prepared in a clean, trendy lobby so there's no funny business. Take the time to drive to a different location or Cafe Rio, you'll find them easier on the maps anyway.

What a tasty selection of mexican food. So fresh and cheesy, this place does not scrimp on the fixin's. I had the sweet pork salad and it was delish! Very clean place, the staff is polite and accommodating. Their tea was tasty too.

Yay! definitely a fan. Really similar to Cafe Rio in almost every regard. The sweet pork is the star of the show for me. It doesn't matter if it's a burrito, salad or quesadilla it's good! I prefer the red sauce which they call "hot" but it's really not that hot. the beef is my 2nd choice and I like it with the "mild" sauce which is a green chili sauce. Be sure to get the burritos "enchilada style". Service has been good the few times that I've been and the food is consistently great. Typically the line isn't as long as similar competitors so it's been my first choice for Mexican.

I have had the steak burrito with the "hot sauce" not hot at all several times. It is very consistent and I enjoy this. One of the better Costa Vidas. I just wish they were open on Sunday like some other Costa Vidas.

Out of all the Costa Vida places I've been, I love this one the most. The service is fast. The people actually have a little fun making your food & are very interactive. The setting is nice as well, plus they haven't skimped on the food like the other places have. Well worth it.

I've been eating at both Costa Vida and Cafe Rio for years, thinking they were interchangeable. FALSE. Cafe Rio is so much better. Costa Vida isn't even close. We ordered a pork burrito, tacos, chips, and queso. The queso was not very good at all, and the chips were bagged chips. Cafe Rio has fresh chips and really good queso. I wish they used different cheese on their burritos and tacos, too. The yellow cheese blend is not as good as Cafe Rio's white cheese blend. I was starving and didn't want to drive farther for Cafe Rio, but next time I will. Also, their tortillas aren't very good. Weird, mushy texture.

Out of all the Costa Vida's I've eaten at, this one really goes out of their way to make sure they make your meal completely gluten free! When you request that, they will remove their gloves, wash their hands and put new gloves on.. Plus the staff is really nice!

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
