    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.

The interior nails that Southern Cali college town energy with retro decor and good music at a volume where you can actually hold a conversation. Temperature was perfect, staff was warm and helpful, and the vibe overall just works. My wife and I had hoped to split a "Biggy" burrito, but our protein preferences don't overlap, so we each ended up with our own "Pee-Wee." No custom halves here, which cost us an extra $4.50 and left me feeling like we got less food total than a shared Biggy would have given us. If you have any appetite at all, size up. My steak Ol' Skool burrito was solid, though I made the mistake of going with the mild sauce. It needed more heat to really bring it together. The fries-in-the-burrito thing also isn't really my style. I'm more of a beans, rice, and fresh lime squeeze kind of guy, so I came away a little underwhelmed on that front. But that's a taste preference, not a knock on the place. Worth a visit, no question. Just come hungry, go spicy, and know whether you're a fries-in-your-burrito person before you order.

    I've been coming here since 1992…read more. This place has been one of my favorites for years, and for good reason: the food flat-out delivers. The pork tacos are excellent, the buffet is a beautiful exercise in self-control failure, and the three enchilada plate is always a solid choice. Truthfully, it's all really good. What makes it even better is the people. Alex, Javier, and Sadie bring a fun energy that makes the whole place feel alive. Great food is one thing, but when the staff makes the atmosphere this enjoyable, it keeps you coming back. So go hungry, have a beer... or marigita, relax, and enjoy yourself. This place isn't just good - it's the kind of place you keep in your regular rotation for decades.

Regardless, after 15 minutes we finally got our buffet plates, then another 7min to get food on our plates (can't serve yourself). We were never asked if we wanted the one plate buffet or All-you-can-eat, and assumed the $13.99 price. We all got our bills, and each plate was around $20. The waiter then told us the lower price was for one plate only. In my case I did actually only have one plate and asked if he'd fix my bill. He said, "No. You have to tell me at the beginning." I said, "I was never told any options." He said, "I can't change your bill now." So the outside sign is deceptive, the waiter never clarifies the options when ordering, so both owner & waiter are at fault. No tip! I need more integrity from this restaurant and the waiters. Likely won't come back. Honesty is important to me, and the service timing was very subpar.
