We love Costa Vida's food! However, last week we went to the drive through and I ordered a large sweet pork salad. When we got home I was surprised that the salad was so skimpy. I think the usual size was reduced by 30%. Not much meat, rice, beans, romaine, etc. I barely got full--usually I am stuffed! What's happened Costa Vida? read more

How this place has more than one star is beyond me worst Costa Vida in the valley they tell you one thing do another Way too many people behind the line if you're going to eat at this subpar restaurant go to another location this one is terrible read more

Tonight I got a small salad (no meat). It was so good! I feel like they change something and made them better. The new packaging is super cute too. The tops now have a place the dressing fit in. read more

Usually always great just was not or on it today - to fast is usually not a problem but when's no one's behind you slow down listen to the customer - again great food - great ppl 99% of the time read more

HOW DID THEY GET ME TO CONVERT FROM CAFÉ RIO?!!? Oh I know - finally Fresh Mexican place does grilled chicken the way it SHOULD be. Plus, Costa Vida has got the edge on being generous with toppings. Who knew the mango salsa mix with their salad dressing could actually beat Cafe Rio cilantro lime?! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I've changed religions permanently. I'm now a believer of Costa Vida. I've gone back and forth for the last half a dozen visits, and Cafe Rio has let me down every time. No "points promotion" on their part can make up for the lack of quality in the food. Costa Vida will now get all my business from family and friends. read more

My experience here was perfect! I love Costa Vida but the one in Lehi always screws up my order and the portions our tiny. I came here hoping not to have same experience as the Lehi one. The drive through was quick and fast and they got the order correct and the portions were generous. I also order tres leaches for the first time and it was so good! I must get it everytime! The staff was fast and super friendly! Put everything I needed in the bag and made a great lunch. Will be back to this location many times in the future. read more

Stingy on the portions, especially meat. They put just a little bit on in the first place and then start pulling some back off of it. Depressing. The dressing seems to have been watered down, but the dressing containers are still the same size. But the food is good, what they give of it. And I like the watermelon juice and other non-soda options. read more

This review pertains to ALL Costa Vida locations. I think Costa Vida is generally great. BUT, they tell people they have gluten friendly corn tortillas. They use the same grill to cook them and wipe it down with the same cloth covered with flour!!! What?! To get anything remotely gluten free just get a salad with no tortilla. I don't know why they can't get a stack of gluten free tortillas when I can get a huge stack for $2 at the grocery store. IT IS SUPER FRUSTRATING that they don't take Gluten Free more seriously. read more

Very courteous staff. They gave me lots of pork on my burrito. I think I like the mild sauce here more than Cafe Rio and I like that I don't feel like I'm entering a cage match unlike Rio. Plenty of clean tables to choose from. Also the key lime pie was yummy. No complaints. read more

Costa Vida - Outside - Mexican Near Me - American Fork, Utah

Food is 8.5 out of 10 Service is 9 out of 10 Atmosphere 9 out of 10 Best place in the area if you want good quick food. Costa Vida atmosphere is far better than Rio. Much brighter and open. Rio always feels like a cave. staff is very friendly and walk around asking if you need anything. Their line moves fast. We go 2-3 times a week for business lunch. Always good. read more

We love Costa Vida! Everything we have had here is so good! The people who work here are always so nice and I've never had them mess up on my order. The drive through is so helpful when you have a car full of kids! read more

Costa Vida is extremely accommodating to gluten allergies! I have a gluten intolerance and have a hard time going out to eat since it's hard to find restaurants that are totally safe for gluten allergies. When you let them know that you have a gluten allergy, they make an intentional effort to change gloves to stop cross contamination. They make me feel confident about having a gluten free dish and, of course, they make extremely delicious food! read more

We love this costa location! They are fast and get your order right! They also have the specialty drinks which for me is a plus!!! Great family friendly environment with a clean fresh feel to go with the fresh food! Yum! read more

This location is probably the best one I've been to. The tortillas are always fresh and soft. The service is friendly and quick. The sweet pork salad is my go to meal. I wish they would be a bit more generous with the lettuce though, they used to put so much on! read more

Fast fresh and friendly. Food is better than previous Costa Experience. Clean and spacious restaurant. I'm from New York but I'll be back here for sure. read more

Great service! What a bargain. The food is delicious, the staff friendly and helpful, and the place is clean!!!

I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and there were 3 pieces of chicken in it. Tasty but completely unsatisfying.

Quick and great service. They never get my order wrong! It's always clean and bright when I go in. The staff was friendly.

Great food! Quick drive thru. I always have modifications to my order and they always get it right. We LOVE their tortillas. #choosecosta!!! read more

Today I ordered the Mango Chicken Salad and it was really delicious and fresh! I really enjoyed it. The staff wasn't overly friendly. But the food was good. read more

Costa Vida - Mexican Near Me - American Fork, Utah

If you're looking for some fresh Mexican food that is quick and made to order, but not a fast food joint this is the place for you. Service is good and restaurant is clean. read more

My coworkers and I placed an online order that was projected to be completed by 1:15pm, upon arriving to pick up the order we had placed they explained it would only be another minute or so to pack everything up (I totally understand that, they were really busy) 1:30 rolls around and still, nothing. 1:35 is when we walked out the door. Food was alright, but definitely thrown together. read more

Dry dry dry!! 2 days in a row! Last night we got one to bring home for date night and it was soo dry! Tonight we went back and specifically asked for extra because the night before it was dry....wellll this one was just as dry if not MORE!! Super annoying especially when we told them about our bad experience the night before. Trust me...I know my sweets & I normally LOVE tres leche! read more

Costa Vida - Dry!!! - Mexican Near Me - American Fork, Utah

This location needs more attentive workers. I ordered a grilled chicken salad and they forgot the chicken. When I got home and realized that there was no chicken in it, I called the number to let them know. The woman on the phone was more concerned about me bringing back the old salad rather than making sure my meal was made correctly. "Bring the old salad back, make sure you bring the old salad back" I understand why I had to take it back because of people who are not honest and are looking for a free meal, but that sounded like first priority over the service and fixing a obvious mistake. I got to the restaurant and the worker was continually short with me and gave me an attitude as if she did not believe me. After the worker thoroughly tore apart my salad to make sure there was no chicken, I decided to cancel my order and I just went to a different location. read more

I LOVE Costa Vida! However this location is hit and miss. One time my husband and I ordered two pork salads through the drive through and came home with one chicken salad and one pork instead. I figured it was a one time mistake. So during my lunch I went again ordering through the drive through. My order was correct however the portion was cut in half! I didn't just spend $9.00 for half a salad did I? However every time I go inside everything is GREAT! So the lesson here is no matter how convenient the drive through seems, go inside. read more

I already get a little bitter when I come here because I know it's overpriced. Tonight after spending $28 for 3 meals (one of which was a special), I got nickel and dimed for a 20 oz dressing. 3 of the sodas were out. The ice was out. The worker that brought ice from the back scooped the excess back into the ice machine. He placed the top of the ice machine on the floor while he filled it up. I'm hungry when I leave, have a lighter wallet and a good chance of taking home some Hep C. read more

We received the best service I've ever had since bringing kids to a restaurant. I have 5 kids and getting through a line and ordering can feel like quite the ordeal to all involved but they went above and beyond to help us have the best experience. Not only were the staff kind and friendly but witty and fun. The food was fabulous and the service was exceptional. I wish we didn't live out of state, or this would be my new favorite place to eat. read more

Awesome food as always. Same in all their locations. This one is way better and nicer than the old one in American Fork. Even has a drive thru! read more

Average at best. I ordered shrimp tacos and was charged extra for the premium protein. It turned out to be the miniature shrimp like what is used in a chip dip. It is the equivalent of ordering a hot dog and getting canned baby vienna sausages sprinkled in a bun. It looks weird and leaves me wondering why I paid a premium. Maybe Costa Vida could spring for a cable subscription with the premiums from their miniature shrimp so we won't have to watch the same boring ocean wave play on an eternal TV loop...I get cranky when I am fed baby food read more

Drive through costa is nice but is ruined by order innacuracy. I ordered a baja bowl with extra pico de gallo and a chips and salsa. I recieved a baja bowl with no extra pico, and a chips and salsa with no salsa but a big container of not so fresh pico i was really hoping for the fresca salsa. Im just upset because she repeated my order back to me exactly as i said it and there was still error. read more

I love Costa Vida, but this was the first time I have been let down by them. I ordered and paid for double chicken and the chicken seemed like less than I get without ordering double at other locations. I ordered a kids meal and they forgot the drink and the treat. My kids were severely disappointed. The food was good just not impressed with the amounts or the fact that they forgot things. read more

Fresh food, excellent service! Affordable and delicious. Great for families and larger groups. Add the grilled veggies - or "fajita veggies" to whatever you order. Yum! read more

We went through the drive through and it was fairly quick. Our orders came out correctly. Some of the chicken was a bit chewy but otherwise it tasted great. read more

Literally my favorite place to eat! I love the pork salad with the horchata! I went to Mexico recently and this reminds me so much of it! I love this place! read more

Right when I walked in, the smell smacked me in the face! It smelt so good and tasted even better!!:)

Their sweet pork salads are so so yummy! Really the sweet pork anything is delicious. They seem to give you a little more meat and beans than Cafe Rio and their food tastes so much better and more fresh in my opinion!! We always prefer Costa Vida! This one also has a drive through so it's extremely convenient for those days you don't want to get out of the car. The employees are always nice, fast, and helpful, and the restaurant is kept really clean. read more

First off, I love Costa Vida and they get a 5 star...but this American Fork location gets a one star for incompetence. Second time they have messed up my order while going through the the drive-thru. And this time they messed up all 5 orders. The girl that our order even repeated the order back to us to make sure it was correct How incompetent do you have to be to screw up all 5!?!?!? Will be going to the Lehi location for now on. read more

COMPANY IS NOT PREPARED AS GLUTEN FREE. I asked the size of the tacos I got with the corn shell, she showed me teeny tiny corn shells, even smaller than you get at the grocery store and said I get two teeny tacos for $9.00, That is highway robbery. You can get to teeny weeny tacos at Taco bell for $1.50 with lots of meat and cheese. Can figure how they call that a bargain. They cater solely to those you can eat their huge wheat tortillas, but dont discount for the smallness of those WHO need and want gluten free. WAY TOO PRICEY, NOT ENOUGH FOOD TO BE SATISFYING. read more

God I hate this place. I never ever get what I order through the drive up. I am so done with this place. I swear to god!! I will never go there again. Cafe Rio!! Here I Come!!! read more

Thomas has some of the best costumer service I have seen. He made it a point to relate to everyone and it made an improvement in my day. Thanks Thomas read more
