Asked for extra cheese and Pico de gallo and they didn't give me either but the bare minimum. They'll sure charge you $2 for extra, but won't give it to you. Service through drive through was also crap. The girl there on 11/25/2025 had the poorest / rudest attitude and didn't say a word except the total. Hopefully they can manage their employees a little better at customer service. read more

I just went through the drive through to get dinner for two people. they completely forgot half of my food and the half that I did get is mostly stale chips. read more

you pay 11$ for Baja bowl they should not be so chincy on the ingredients. The ingredients were good, not nearly enough food for the money.

Took our team of volleyball girls here after tourney and the staff was very nice! They handled the influx of orders great. Food was delicious! read more

I pulled up at 20:59 and was told, "WE'RE CLOSED." Rather rudely, which I understand. I still don't think this is proper etiquette for a restaurant at all. If you can't provide customer service how it should be given; then don't work customer service. read more

We have always had good food at this location. The employees keep the restaurant much cleaner than other restaurants we've been to in town. You aren't coming here for a massive experience but rather simply a good buffet style Mexican lunch/dinner and this deserves a 4 star rating. read more

I came here for the Costa-Cado. I absolutely love it! Delicious!!! Maybe I'll update later when I come back to try their other stuff. read more

Sick to my stomach! We went Monday 4/15 around 5:30. Got the sweet pork burrito! If you want your bowels cleaned out for a colonoscopy you came to the right place! Nasty ass diarrhea, no sleep til Brooklyn!! Get it together people! Wash your hands and temp ur food, used to work fast food literally takes a minute smfh. Don't go to this dump ( overpriced too) read more

we eat at a Costa Vida 3-5 times a month, usually In Rexburg. But we were shopping In Ammon and stopped for the first time at this Costa Vida restaurant. I remarked to the server that the portions were VERY skimpy on the Sweet Pork salad. He made a smart Alec response! This will be my last time eating here! I highly recommend Costa Vida in Rexburg the large salad Sweet Pork is wonderful and very filling! read more

This is chipotle's brother and Qdoba's sister. good place to enjoy delicious food. clean and well maintained. We like the glazed burrito bowl. read more

This location is terrible. I usually prefer costa over cafe Rio but not this location. I've probably been here about 3-4 times since I moved to Idaho Falls area and always the same thing with my salads not enough lettuce for a salad and the lettuce is bad almost every single time. Not much more to say is that spending $9-$10 on a salad that has hardly any lettuce and then the lettuce is bad. Not worth it. I'll spend my money else where. read more

We have been here before and it's pretty good fresh Mex food. We ordered the chicken salad and I added the Raspberry with mine. Just water to drink for us. It was really good!! read more

I go here quite a lot. Got a salad today and found this in it. I'm not quite sure what it is but definitely doesn't look normal and couldn't finish my salad after. Really disappointed and disgusted. read more

Costa Vida - Found this in my salad. - Mexican Near Me - Ammon, Idaho

Superbly better than cafe rio in town! Burrito was twice the size and twice as good. They actually put sweet pork in my burrito. will be back again! read more

I'm happy to have finally tried this place out. We ordered the sweet pork salad and sweet pork quesadilla, and both were delicious. Around the dinner hour on Saturdays this place gets slammed, and now I know why: great food. The restaurant area is kept clean, and that's another reason to visit often. I only wish I had tried this place sooner! I'll be back though, frequently. read more

Let me start by saying that it pains me to pay someone to make something that I can make at home for less. Salads, sandwiches...please. But the salads are amazing! I can't eat the shell but it's an amazing salad. Love the salad. The dressing! Omg! Give me a straw. Gross. Not really. The Costa Vida house dressing is amazing...on the salad. The small is still a huge salad! We need this in Wisconsin. Not the same as Cafe Rio. Costa Vida is the way to go! read more

I was super impressed by how flavorful and fresh my salad was today! I hope it's like this every time I stop in. The people were nice and friendly and I couldn't stop telling my husband how much I enjoyed my meal. Best costa vida salad I have had ever! Not exaggerating. If you've had a bad experience here I'm wondering if you need to come at a certain time of day when they have just freshly prepared food out. Whoever was working 230-330p today on the line thank you! read more

Should have learned the first time but 2 times in a row now, I've ordered and paid for extra dressing for a salad and did not get it. Also literally 2 bites of sweet pork in a $9.19 salad. Pretty disappointed. read more

Friendly staff and good food. The servings are filling and I go here weekly. The chicken and sweet pork are probably my favorite.

I ordered a door dash originally at 5:44 due at 6:01 for a quesadilla and Nachos when the DoorDash came we only received the quesadilla so I messaged the dasher and the said that the store confirmed everything was in the bag. So I had to order again for my Nachos, ordered at 6:27 the same order when I received them it was THE SAME ORDER OF Nachos ORIGINALLY ORDERED!!! They gave me damn near 1 hour old, cold, Nachos and i only know this because they left the original "due to customer" print out on my nachos!!!! COME ON!!! BE BETTER!!!! read more

I think they forgot to put any meat in their burrito or their tacos. It was very expensive for beans and rice. I will not go there for take out food again read more

I went through the drive thru and when I got home, my grilled chicken salad only had two small strips of chicken on it. I was very disappointed. They usually do a better job, but I have noticed that they are very stingy on the meat when compared to other restaurants. read more

I've rarely had good customer service here. The food is good, if not a little stingy with servings. I've always had to wait for my online orders (supposed to be ready 6:40, waited until 7:00.) I've gotten serious attitude from the people working the drive thru employees. read more

This location was disappointing. Tortillas were burnt, retried beans had a weird tomato flavor, sweet pork not as flavorful. steak was over cooked, and overall the store was very dirty and was bit being cleaned. Bird poo was all over building to left of entry door. Very poor management!!!!! read more

The lack of enthusiasm the employees have spills over into how they serve and dress each plate. The atmosphere is lacking in so many ways. Go to other places for food your ll be much happier. read more

Two stars for the chips, if not for those it would be one star. Update - One star wish could be zero. My husband and I got sick from just the small amount we digested on Friday. Today, Sunday, is the first day I was able to eat. We ordered two meals the sweet pork burrito and the shrimp burrito. Between the two we tried both red and green sauce. Everything was WAY TOO SWEET. No spice to break up the sweetness. After two bites I thought I may go into a diabetic coma. The shrimp was mostly steamed, not grilled with a mushy texture. The pork although wet, was a dry consistency in my mouth. Next time I'm in town and craving a burrito me thinks I'll go to Chipotle and risk e-coli. read more

Fast food that can't get it right. Went there for the first time today with family. Ordered 4 different items and I'm not even kidding when I say all 4 items were made wrong. Even after the cashier repeated the order twice. Sadly for us we got it to go and didn't check it until we went home. Don't waste your money. read more

How many ounces of meats you guys put into a salad of small and regular salad?! Prices gone up a again !!!!! BUT the portion of veggies and meat you put into your menu items are lesser.... read more

Estaba demasaido sal en la comida, y quando fui habia no jugo. Yo quieria horchata pero no habia ninguno. El piso estaba desordenado. Sin embargo, me gusta mucho los tacos. read more

Such yummy food! We both had a salad. The flavors were spot on and so fresh! Shredded beef and the steak were both delicious, and that salad dressing . The atmosphere is light and uplifting. Def coming back! read more

This review is strictly for vegans and vegetarians, although my guest didn't really like his burrito and won't be going back either. They put dairy in their tortilla, rice, beans, and almost all sauces. No sauteed veggies, just rice and beans and cheese. Just stay away if you're vegan or vegetarian, the only thing you can have is soda. Just go across the street to cafe sabor and get a vegetarian burrito. read more

Stopped in for dinner tonight and everything was so fresh and delicious! The restaurant was super clean and the staff really friendly. The portion size was generous too! We've been to many Costa Vidas all over the country and this was right up there with our best experiences! read more

I tried this place once, and probably will not be back. It's not terrible by any means. It's just not very good. The set-up and food type is very similar to a Rubio's Fish Tacos, but the food is nowhere near as fresh, from scratch, or tasty. Very bland. On another note, when I was ordering my food here, it seemed that the cook on the grill was not very experienced. There were 3 or 4, chared pieces of carne asada on the grill, and she stuck a thermometer in each piece to make sure that they were done. While I appreciate the fact that she wanted to verify that the proper cooking temperature had been achieved, it made me a bit uncomfortable that she really didn't seem to know what she was doing. read more

So I want to like this place I really do but they can't even melt the cheese on their nachos(and that's if they actually put the cheese on)! Someone needs to help them because it could be good with a little quality control. Every time I get the nachos I take them home..add cheese and throw them in the oven! Lol read more

I've always liked the food here, it's fresh and cooked right. However, the Ammon location cannot get their customer service figured out. After my chicken nachos were prepared we stood in line waiting to pay for more than 20 minutes. My nachos were cold and soggy by the time I left. I watched people with to-go orders walk-in, pick up, and leave in a matter of minutes. While we stood in line watching and waiting. The employees looked miserable and frustrated. Management really needs to step up and give these poor kids some direction! read more

8:45pm on a Friday. Ordered a veggie burrito and asked for the fajita veggies. They were all out of veggies so they made it a bean and cheese burrito, but still charged full price. It was completely cold inside so I asked them to run it through their conveyor oven again. The assistant started to, but then her coworker stopped her. He said they couldn't do it but that they would remake it for me. I told them I just wanted it warmed up, but he refused. Pretty disappointed. I wont come back to this location. read more

We went here after eating at Cafe Rio a week prior. We actually tried eating at Costa Vida that time but they were closed as it was Sunday, even though Google said they were open. Food wasn't nearly as good as Cafe Rio. Portion sizes were way smaller on their tacos (definitely not worth the money). Chips were bland. Staff was rude. I left here saying I wouldn't go back. Also at Cafe Rio you get free quesadillas for your kids, they didn't have that here. read more

My husband and I really like this place. It feels healthier though really a large grilled chicken salad with all the toppings is a whopping 930+ calories! I always get the above, and my husband usually gets the sweet pork salad. I also quite like their nachos with the sauce & all the toppings. Yum. There can be a really long wait if you hit the dinner rush, and it can feel spendy, though we use the Costa Vida rewards card and the coupons that come in the mail and it makes a big difference. Last weekend our two large salads (we only ever get water) came to just $3.00 total with our rewards & a coupon. Nice. We were loyal patrons of Bajio and we do miss Bajio's rice, but Costa Vida is good for what it is - a chain with Mexican-ish food. Plus, they have gluten free options! They'll even change their gloves for you when they get your corn tortillas. I'm not that sensitive, but it's great that they take that kind of care. read more
