food is always super flavorful and you get your moneys worth!! horchata is amaaaaazing too!!

We had been getting an upset stomach whenever we came here. Looked at their allergen menu and found ALL of their meats and their rice has dairy in it! Why? One of our favorite places but we are no longer able to go here. read more

Costa Vida - Chicken salad - Mexican Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

To say the least I was a little disappointed.. We can in for lunch hour around 1:30 and they were completely understaffed. There were only 3 people working and almost all of the options to make your food were completely out. The restaurant itself was extremely clean and keep well maintained, maybe if I was to come at a different time my options would be a little bit better read more

Ok let me level with you, I thought a smothered, sweet pork burrito sounded crazy. I absolutely loved it! Highly recommend. Every time we come in here the service is great! Everyone behind the counter is positive and kind. They seem like they actually care about the small talk conversation versus just the required, unfeeling customer service questions other places ask. Great job guys! read more

Amazing food and amazing people! Loved the worker Allison was very nice! :)) Would definitely recommend for friends and family!!

Great food and great service. Loved the experience and greatly enjoyed my time at the restaurant.

Great food, quick service and good pricing. We'll worth the trip. Definitely recommend Costa Vida.

Awesome food! my family loves it. The tortilla soup is amazing and the tortillas themselves are legit.

Been a patron of this location for years and had delightful service, staffed properly, clean, fresh tortillas and never out of the ingredients. My last two visits have been awful. What's been awful? Well, take what I said above and reverse it. The last trip had me waiting at the counter for so long I left. That was driven by short staff, out of ingredients, messy restaurant and serving line behind the glass. I hope the proprietor/manager takes this criticism constructively and rights the ship. If so, I'll be back. If not, adios! read more

Delicious. Very good food, and very nice staff too. Not sure what else to say, but the review requires 85 characters.

I ordered a smothered burrito today via uber eats from this location, while the order came fast, after I started eating, I found a blue, broken rubber band in the mix of rice, beans and cheese. Luckily I was eating with a fork and pulled it out before I managed to eat it unknowingly. read more

Costa Vida - Rubber band in burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Worst costa Vida I've ever been to. Service was bad and meat was super dry. Would not recommend. Go to Cafe Rio

good service, fresh food, very clean and inviting environment. very nice shift lead lady.

I ordered the honey shrimp quesadilla and wouldn't order again. The shrimp was ok but there was a ton of honey sauce with a smattering of cheese that you couldn't taste or see. Very weird , very sweet quesadilla. Husband had the sweet pork enchiladas and he said they were ok nothing special. I was surprised because we've been here before a year or so ago and it was good. Probably wouldn't go again. read more

This place beats qdoba and chipotle hands down and it's less expensive! It's become our favorite fast and inexpensive Mexican food in town! Plenty of clean and comfortable seating plus get your own refill of horchata! read more

Saw a message in my app for $5.00 entree. Ordered grilled chicken tacos with pinto beans and rice. The grilled chicken was dry and overcooked. The pico didn't taste fresh at all. Food didn't taste like it used to. The veggies didn't taste or look fresh. Prices have gone up. read more

We love this place. Food is delicious, specially the sweet pork smothered enchiladas.

This place used to rock! However, now the portions are such that when you order a taco with steak, within every bite, you get more flour tortilla than anything else. In fact, it feels like you are eating a heated tortilla until you reach the bottom of the taco. They are using a tiny scooper for everything, so you barely get 2 tsp of very bland "rice that tastes like it came out of a box". My daughter's words. The black beans appear to be canned. The meat was good and well seasoned, just not adequately portioned to fill a taco, let alone two. They need to reexamine their portions and not charge for a little over a fruit ball filler of guacamole. The service was mediocre at best, clearly understaffed with young teenagers. A fly landed in my son's food, and they did not replace it. Needless to say, we will not be going there again at his insistence. We were there right before the dinner crowd, so there was plenty of everything. Chipotle beats and Q'Doba beats this place in every category but ambiance. They have authentic Mexican colors. read more

This place used to rock! Just got a burrito and there is practically no meat in it!!! I don't care for beans, so it's 90% rice. I'm done with this place, won't be back. read more

This place is average. Out of state people hyped this place up, but this is a Q'Doba or Chipotle with a different name. First time I went I tried the sweet pork burrito. The pork was tangy but you taste more of the sweetness than the meat itself. Their green chili is below mild. I suggest they get acquainted with extra hot Pueblo chillies to give it more oomph. I went a second time and tried a steak burrito. The meat was super bland. Tried their tres leches cake. It has a nice flavor but the sponge is on the dry side. Needs extra moisture on the sponge and the cake will be spot on. My wife wanted to try their chicken but they were out so they asked us to wait 15 minutes. Their horchata machine was dried out. We asked them to make more and no one made any. Same with their strawberry lemonade. Their employees are nice but that aspect of it took the customer service down the drain. The place was empty for them not to take care of the horchata machine. Compared to Chipotle or Q'Doba their portions are way better for the price, and they make their tortillas fresh. Will not go back. read more

$45 and ready to throw it out. It was salty AF. It is basically ingredients put together, and then everything run through a conveyer belt. At the table, it was cold AF. Sadly, not a good experience. read more

I think it depend on staff? Today my food was cold and smothered was very minimal... I got it green chile smothered and not one piece of pork. Overall really great , but today was a flop read more

Great food and SO fresh! I didn't realize you could literally taste freshness . I highly recommend getting a salad with a "tortilla base"; it's like getting a salad AND a burrito to finish . Oh, and it's dinner time and I'm somehow STILL full. read more

FAVORITE PLACE TO GO! It's a boujee version of chipotle and even if you live on the other side of town it's so worth the drive! The steak is a must! It's so juicy and perfectly cooked for the type of place that it is. I always get a salad / bowl with the tortilla on the bottom and it's perfect. Especially with the vinaigrette! Highly recommend if you like Chipotle of Qdoba, because it's that much better than those chains. read more

First time customer. Welcomed so warmly by the entire staff. Great suggestions and not hurried to order. Suggestions were very good too.

Meh. I've been here a couple times before and I want to like it, but mainly because it's the only option in the area for quick Mexican food. They were so busy, that I felt rushed by the line behind as well as the man fixing my salad. I asked the man about one of the meat options and he seemed so inconvenienced by my question. I ended up getting a salad with the green sauce, fajita veggies which were practically raw, and guac. It was super mediocre. Again, meh. read more

We ordered 9 red cheese enchiladas and 9 green cheese enchiladas to go. When I picked them up they were read and very hot in their aluminum baking pans. Both the red and green had a small amount of heat. They were filled with cheese and 1-2 per person was filling. Awesome service for some tasty enchiladas ! Thank you for helping make our tailgate party a success! read more

The service was great! Shout out to your employee paige, she was super great and friendly!

I was pretty disappointed with this place. I ordered the tacos with grilled steak, at least I think there was steak in there. Upon asking what type of meat I wanted, the person making my tacos put the smallest amount of meat I've ever seen on a taco, along with maybe 10 shreds of cheese, 3 pieces of lettuce, the tiniest amount of guacamole, and anything else I requested. I'm not sure if I just got the new guy making my tacos, or if this is how they are supposed to be made, but I came in hungry and left hungry. This was my first and last visit to this place. read more

Great fast food. Had the tacos and got some rice and beans on the side. Xxxxxxxxxxxxx

My wife and I had the vegetarian bowl which they customized for me to have habaneros and mango. Very tasty. My son had a pork burrito which he reported as very good. Finding restaurants who can accommodate carnivores and vegetarians is sometimes challenging but Costa Vida rose to the challenge. We had a table outside with an umbrella making it quite comfortable. I've seen some of the negative reviews and didn't experience anything less than perfectly acceptable. read more

This restaurant has extremely poor management. We ordered five meals online one hour before our scheduled pick up. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a line of angry customers that had been waiting a long time for their online orders. We were told that our order was in process, but after 45 minutes of waiting, nothing had been started. We finally gave up and headed home without our food. We're hoping that we get reimbursed for our meals, but everything is so disorganized at the restaurant , we don't know what's going to happen. read more

Decent food. If you are looking for something slightly better than Chipotle. I usually choose Chipotle over Costa Vida because of lower cost and MUCH bigger portions. But if you are not as hungry and want something less oily Costa is a decent choice. read more

What happened to the service here? These people are getting complacent. Tables were not cleaned well, how disgusting is that? Even more disgusting is young kid on service line not replacing his plastic gloves after wiping down the metal food prep area? And then serving food. And then patting down food he's serving to a customer? Seriously? Also, why are you not wiping down a container of queso with queso dripping on the sides and bottom? And then serving this to customers? We watched all of this being done to an unwary customer who wasn't paying attention to the food prep. Poor sap. Does anyone get training here? Please don't let this place go downhill! read more

Pulled pork salad is always the move, the folks behind the counter had me dialed like 911 it was impressive. That being said, the tortilla was not as choice as I had hoped, that being said it's ways fresh and a great choice on a Saturday.

The sweet pork is amazing. My wife doesn't typically like meats but she loves the sweet pork. On the healthier side is the grilled chicken which is also very good. Best bang for buck is the burrito, but salads offer a lot as well... They come with both sour cream and guac, unlike most other entrees. Pro tip: Add fajita veggies to any entree for free!! read more

These guys used to be better. The green chili seems sweet which is not the taste I'm looking for with a burrito. I've also had incredibly salty food here, like someone accidentally spilled salt into the food. I'll stick to chipotle. read more

Great service. Very friendly. Great food. Especially the enchiladas. Highly recommend!

The food here has tons of flavor. They have tons of options which I love. They can sometimes have a long line especially during dinner time that should tell you how good the food is here. read more

I want to like the food here but I always end up leaving wondering how it costs $32-$35 for my two kids and I to get a plain cheese quesadilla, and two burritos and drinks! Dios Mio! If it were phenomenal food with amazing flavors I wouldn't be as traumatized, but it isn't, it's just flat and plain and nothing special, every time. Chipotle has this place beat hands down and for less money. read more
