    Anyone care to eat meat cooked on here? Ew.
    Travis B.

    I've tried this spot on a few occasions and it is just not great. My expectations for fast-Mex really aren't that high and I don't expect a stellar meal at any of them. This location lowers the bar in flavors and cleanliness. The meats tend to be overcooked and most of the items they are putting in your meal seem bland and flavorless. You can't find any hot sauce to tune it up and are stuck with greasy cheese flavored jerky. In a tortilla. Taking in to account we are transitioning through COVID and staffing issues, when you visit at 3pm on a Sunday, count 2 customers and 6 employees, there really isn't a reason for such filth. Dirty tables, dirty floors, garbage cans than look like they haven't been cleaned ever and prep stations that look horrendous. This visit was so bad I chose not to even order and picked up a sandwich at another fast food spot. I hope they get it together. This is a nice outfit with a good location and plenty of room inside for a good dining experience.

    This is a joke. I ordered (through the drive-thru) some grilled chicken nachos and paid an additional $2 for a large queso to get a half filled container and a missing 2oz queso (that comes automatically) with my nachos. Additionally my kids cheese quesadilla was a complete mess. I asked for no rice and substitute for more refried beans, and this is what was given. The portions were awful and packaging was horrible. This isn't the first time this location has screwed up. Please do better.

    Chicken shot anyone!!

    What the heck is going on?? Added extra chicken to my order and this is what I get $2 doesn't sound like a lot, but this amount of chicken should cost only 25 cents.

    Love the new location!! More room and there's a drive thru now! The best part for me is that they have pebble ice now, it makes a difference for me!! Lol. I've been a few times since the new location opened and it seems way busier so I think it was a good move for them. I always try to get the special of the day when I go because it's a bargain. It's not the best most authentic Mexican food but it's pretty darn good!!

    The staff is friendly. I feel a little rushed through the line but it isn't bad. The food is good. Always hot and fresh. I will return.

    The food is always good, but the service was great. Very clean and casual. Good place for a quick meal, sit down or take out. Yummy.

    The sweet pork burrito is a fave and their mango salsa. So good. The drive through makes life so much easier.

    Costa Vida food is some of the best local fast food in Utah and the Layton did a good job at getting me my sweet pork salad.

Restroom door handle? Sticky. Table? Also sticky. After the third visit with the same issue, I felt like it was worth saying something to the management. Now, the food itself is a different story. The burgers are simple, solid, and always hot. I can honestly say I've never been served a cold burger here. The cheese curds are a hit with my family, and I'll give credit where it's due: they're pretty darn good. The shakes and frozen custard are excellent and absolutely worth ordering. The chicken? It's fine. Not bad, not magical. Kind of in the "you could make something similar at home" category. If you love ranch, that may help the experience along. Drive-thru is where things can go sideways. Be prepared for delays, repeating your order, and the occasional feeling that the crew is having way more fun than the customers are. Maybe it's an off-day thing, maybe it's a pattern, but it has happened enough that I expect it now. (I don't care if they're having fun. It's the screaming through the intercom, inattentive order taking because they're screwing around that I am simple over it) Would I go back? Yeah. The food is good enough that I probably will...not. (my kids will) Would I prefer to be in the passenger seat while someone else handles the ordering? Also yeah. For food that's not bad but not great (just "meh") I'll go down the street to El Burrito instead.

Tonight we brought a bunch of our family (about 15 people) and we were able to all sit together at the tables in the middle. My husband and I both ordered the stack which is close to Taco Bell's crunch wrap, but totally elevated! The ingredients and salsas taste very fresh. We've tried both the steak and chicken and both are seasoned and cooked to perfection. And you get a lot of food! I always take home leftovers when I eat here. I can only eat about half of a stack before I'm STUFFED. My toddler and baby (age 1&3) shared a kids quesadilla meal- for free since kids eat free on Sundays! They especially loved the sweet pineapple salsa and chips. My favorite is the green salsa which is mild with a great garlicy cilantro lime taste. This is definitely a hidden gem in Layton. It's never too busy, and you get your food quickly. The price is very reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. Every time we eat here we say, "We should come here more often!".
