    Sweet pork quesadillas with almost no sweet pork at all.
    Garrett C.

    40 minutes in the drive through so get a sweet pork quesadilla. They give us a quesadilla with this much sweet pork! Such a rip off. It's a cheese quesadilla with a couple specs of pork. Not impressed.

    Tables and dirty floor
    Bryce O.

    The dining area was disgusting. Place clearly hasn't been cleaned all day. Rice was all over the floor, tables were a mess, there was a huge clump of hair on the floor. Drink fountain was completely empty. I could go on... This place just doesn't learn and the manager clearly doesn't care at all...

    "What's in this photo" Yelp asks. "Not a burrito" I say.

    I love this place. But I'm so upset with my order. You know that feeling when you get your food...you're going to go home, get high, and enjoy a burrito? Well, I don't. Can't relate today! Instead, I got a quesadilla. And I'm upset about that because I don't like cheese. And guess what? One of the main ingredients for a quesadilla is cheese. So now I'm high, at home, alone, with nothing to eat but disappointment. I'm giving 3 stars because I asked for lots of ice in my Dr. Pepper and they provided that accurately and I should've double checked. I also cannot go back and get a new one because I live up in Brian Head and cannot justify the 45 minute drive down there. *sigh* How can this be avoided in the future? Take a second and check to make sure what you got was what you ordered. I guess my bad for assuming I would get what I ordered. :( I will be back though because that sweet pork be bussin.

    Costa Vida has impressed me beyond what I was expecting. I haven't been to this chain before, but had heard a lot about them. I admit I adore Cafe Rio(a very similar type spot) but Costa Vida can stand its own. I wanted to particularly acknowledge Jaden and Dalyn, and Abe. These three staff members went above and beyond to provide quality service, the restaurant was also very clean and well-kept, and the experience was very pleasurable. It makes me want to come back again. Things they do well: treat their customers with care, are attentive to the order, provide lots of knowledgeable suggestions, and are sensitive to the customer experience as a whole. They also have nice parking available. The food is tasty I would say they have a string in the marination of their meats. I highly recommend trying the steak they offer. Things they could work on: they could be a little bit speedier.

    Huge chicken salad
    Julie O.

    Not sure what all the bad reviews are for. The staff is very friendly, I got everything i asked for, no shortage of food, my salad is actually HUGE, they put a homemade tortilla on the bottom. The drive through is long and it's not the type of place I'd advise going through a drive through with. It's like a Mexican chipotle, but bigger and better, they have white meat chicken and employees are sweethearts. Did I say the salad is HUGE?

And service was excellent as well. Get this.... Something I have never seen before at a Mexican restaurant, along with the usual chips and salsa you get a soup or salad! I went for the meatball soup and my better 1/2 had the chicken tortilla soup. (The soups are amazing! ) We had #15 and 17 dinner plates, again the food was great! You will love the green salsa mmmmm good. Next time we are in Cedar City we're eating there again. Great value as well 38.00 for the both of us. (No drinks, we had water and that was good ). Cheers

I had sizzling chicken fajitas with a special request of habaneros cooked into the chicken. It came out on a sizzling cast iron plate that kept it hot for the duration of the meal. My date had carne asada enchiladas that she said were amazing. The food was very full of flavor. The wait staff, family members I believe, were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is decorated with authentic Mexican decor and music. Don't miss this place if you are craving fresh Mexican food in Cedar City.

    We stop here every time we visit Cedar City. Great family restaurant, friendly staff, fresh food,…read moreclean, decent prices, and I could go on. This place serves up some of the freshest, most authentic Mexican grub I've had in southern Utah. We ordered a mix of their street tacos (the carne asada and al pastor are absolute standouts--juicy, perfectly seasoned, and topped with fresh cilantro, onions, and a squeeze of lime) along with their homemade horchata and a side of beans. We also enjoyed one of their daily specials, with a staff-recommended chia-lime and strawberry fresca, and everything was amazing. Everything was made to order, bursting with flavor, and surprisingly affordable for the quality. The staff was super friendly and quick, even during the dinner rush, and the casual vibe with outdoor seating made it perfect for unwinding with the kids. No frills, just great food that feels like a taste of home. If you're in Cedar City for skiing, hiking, or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop here. We'll definitely be back--five stars all the way!

We love all of the different meats and never go without rice, beans, chips and salsa. Order our first exposure were the tostadas which are heavenly. If you go in instead of hit the drive-through on your way home from work, it is super low-key, always clean and very nice temperatures. The staff is friendly and highly accommodating. A great place to eat even if you are dairy or gluten free, like me.

I chose the Enchiladas Tricolor which was a good opportunity to try their mole, red and verde sauces on chicken, cheese & pork respectively. Comes with beans, rice & interestingly ... coleslaw. My husband chose the Burrito Asada but didn't want any pico de gallo. The waitress asked if he wanted the guacamole and the red sauce on the side to which he said "Sure". I think he's lucky the red sauce was on the side as he could only describe it as "weird, very strange, not good." I tried it and thought "thin vegetable soup ". The kitchen forgot to put the melted cheese on top so his burrito in the picture is very plain looking. He added the guacamole along with the beans and rice to each bite of the burrito and thought that added some flavor to it. The asada was just bland beef with no evidence of a marinade or spicing. My Tricolor Enchiladas plate had 3 enchiladas, beans, rice & coleslaw- & only half of those 6 items were tasty. I was intrigued by the coleslaw and liked it so I ate it all first. I ended up taking sone from my husband's plate to cleanse my palette after I finished eating my meal. It helped clear out the weird pork gravy taste that was the sole flavor of the chile verde. It was so different from other chile verdes I've eaten before. This one had no citrus notes that would normally come from having tomatillos in it. The pork did not improve my outlook. After my first bite I cut the enchilada open to see if the pork was fully cooked. It was pinkish but seemed cooked. It just had that partially raw pork flavor to it. The other 2 enchiladas were good (chicken with a slightly sweet mole sauce and the Classic Red with cheese). I think that same veggie tasting red sauce my husband encountered is their "Classic Red" sauce. The sour cream dollop on this enchilada kinda overtook the sauce so I didn't mind it - didn't miss tasting that sauce here. Sadly the last 2 components on my plate - beans & rice were really lacking. The beans seemed a bit salty but had little flavor despite that. The rice appeared to have no seasoning in it - very bland. Mixing the two together didn't improve either. Adding one of the 2 tasty salsas (red or green) that came to the table with the just slightly greasy chips did help the rice. I noticed a pool of oil/ grease accumulating behind the enchiladas (see picture). Not a good sign for flavor to me. The waitress said the restaurant has been around for 22 years and the booth we sat in showed it. My side of the booth seemed to raise me higher than normal above the table while my husband's side seated him at the proper height to the tabletop. My husband said his Strawberry Margarita was good and thought he could taste the tequila. I had a sip and wasn't sure if it was tequila or the triple sec in the background but thought it was a decent strawberry margarita as it was not overly sweet. I noticed the price on the menu $8.99 was not the price we were charged ($9.99) for his "house margarita ". All other pricing on our receipt matched the menu. Also on our receipt there was a Card Total and a lower Cash Total. We had already planned to pay cash. There's too many other Mexican restaurants in Cedar City to ever go back to La Casa DM.
