First couple of times I've come here, it's always been good. No issues, no attitude when asking for extra items, and no skimping. Last two times I've came? Kinda makes me want them to be the last. The manager or guy in charge acts like he would rather be doing anything other than his job. I get it, customer service jobs suck, but guess what, it's still your job. Don't take your disdain out on paying customers who come in. I always ask for extra tomatillo sauce inside and on the outside of my burrito. That's just how I've always ordered it. Today and the last time I asked for extra, the same guy helped. Both times, my request was just blatantly ignored. I don't feel like I'm asking too much for extra sauce, and I would pay extra for it if they even charged for it! Last time I came, I spoke up and was met with attitude by this same worker. This time I just decided to stay silent because I didn't want to be met with the same attitude as last time. Disappointing. read more

What a joke costa vida has turned into...ordered a streak taco kids meal & they literally put 1 piece of steak on the taco. They said they recently started weighing the kids meal meat & reduced the size to 1 oz of meat. What a joke read more

Costa Vida - 1 piece of steak...what a joke! - Mexican Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

This place is awesome! The cleanest Costa Vita I have been to. Leo, Camden, Coda, Jonathan and Cash made my day. Go visit them!

I've been in a couple times but this most recent time I went in and Leo helped me out and he was overall super friendly and helpful I would say the service he provided for me and my friends was great the total atmosphere of costa vida is very wonderful I really enjoyed eating here and I will definitely be back! The food was also super good I wasn't sure what to order and Leo was the one who helped me figure it out and it was super tasty! Overall a great experience will definitely be back read more

the food was great but man, this dude leo. Amazing customer service i felt like i was right at home! ill be back for sure

We love our costa vida! Better than the other one near by. Employees are the best here. Lots of long term employees is always a good sign. read more

We love it hear and the staff is always super friendly and they remember our order :)

The good was terrible. Chips tasted like stale oil. Did not get all we ordered. Food tasteless. Threw most of it away. A waste of money. We ordered extra toppings and didn't receive. Try another location. Presentation was disgusting. read more

Great food and excellent service in a clean environment. Even with less than an hour prior to close! Jen and Van are the best! read more

I would suggest to stick with cafe rio (similar but better IMO) or chipotle. Pretty disappointed in this place. I agree with the other persons post, if you want a mediocre meal with minimal protein and pricey, then come here. The first two times were a great experience. This time however, staff was rude, skimped on the taco servings. (Wouldn't have been so bad if the staff wasn't playing favorites in the line) Not a huge deal, but optics are bad. Also, please just give me a fair amount of food for the overpriced menu. read more

First time eating here. Yet again ANOTHER over charging restaurant. Don't understand how or why these restaurants think it's okay to charge what they do. The steak burrito was just okay, definitely not for $15 bucks:/:/:/ All I wanted was a simple burrito. I didn't want all the sides they were offering, so figured it would have been cheaper. Guess not:/:/:/ read more

Costa Vida - Yet again ANOTHER over charging food chain:/ Definitely not for $15 bucks - Mexican Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

I'm new to Idaho and was worried I wouldn't find good Mexican food. I was wrong! Costa Vida is amazing! My new favorite.

employees are friendly, especially Natalia! delicious queso And chicken salad! Thanks So much For being cinsistent!

Costa is way tastier and fresher than Cafe Rio. Better service too. I love their enchiladas and salads.

If you like rice and beans with very little meat, then this is your place. Surely a burrito for $11 would have more meat, but maybe inflation is the reason for small portions and pico de gallo is on rations. read more

Costa Vida - a burrito and a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

They have good service. Their food is great. It's just a good environment too because the workers are so nice.

I was looking for a sit down restaurant & found this... looked like it was based on a similar model to Chipotle's. So figured I'd try it! Boy was that a mistake! I got their Sweet Pork enchiladas, which was the daily special. While it was nicely done the "sweet pork" was too sweet & not much was in my meal. The staff also doesn't listen to requests or answer questions about options. My husband got the steak burrito & asked for the spicy red sauce and it was bland...even the hot sauce didn't make it more exciting! The chips were nothing to write home about. Everything is served in aluminum trays & plastic utensils, that break too easily. On top of that, it was more expensive than my favorite sit down Mexican restaurant. So not a good value for a mediocre meal. I won't be returning. read more

Food was great, tables were clean, disappointed in the drink fountain and ice area it was filthy, told two employees about it and was brushed off without a response even when I went back and purchased bottled beverages instead of using the fountain dispenser,,, disappointing but it's kinda gross. read more

Not impressed by their lack of caring about masks, covid, germs etc. No customers are wearing masks and half the staff wasn't wearing them properly anyways. The girl who touched my food just had her hands on a dirty broom, her nose, and a bleach rag before putting the finishing touches on my food. YUM! food is always delicious. sweet pork all the way. read more

Good food and service, the reason for the 3stars is price. If you have kids it is a bit pricey for what normally a 9 to teen would order. Quesadilla cheese only 4 average slice $7.00.. Baja Bowl steak "good taste " average size, leaning to small on steak portion, $10.00. Want extras, Small size Guacamole $1.00. In the Meridian and the surrounding area you can find better value. read more

Always have good food & friendly service. I particularly enjoy their daily special with includes a beverage ... adding a good deal makes this hit all the marks. My friend Wendy and I love the Wednesday special, chicken enchiladas which may be customized to suit your taste. We both like the medium sauce... perfectly seasoned & balanced sweetness. Worth the visit & they have a drive through. read more

Disappointed in the management here. We are big Chipotle and Baja Fresh fans, and those restaurants are pretty close. We decided to give Costa Vida a try. The first sign you see on their window advertises their app and if you download it today you get $4 off today. Well, that didn't work. No credit was loaded by default. The girl at the checkout was so nice. And she went in the back to talk to the managers and I could hear her advocating for me for about three minutes. She saw me go to the App Store, and download it, register. She tried her best. But of course, the managers did not feel like it was their responsibility to come and explain to their test, so they sent her back as a messenger. Nothing they can do, she said. Tip for managers: interface with your customers. Well it turned out OK because the employee who was helping me found a way to get about $10 off my order. She shuffled around some coupons and entered some codes. But it was clear that the managers decided that if the app wasn't working right, it was out of their hands. Also, unlike the other two restaurants I mentioned previously, this restaurant does not have vegetarian options that cost less than meat options. If I want a vegetarian entrée, I still have to pay for the meat. Lastly, they go so fast when you are ordering that before I could say I didn't want cheese, they already put cheese on my burrito. I said it would be OK if they just tried to scrape it off but the employee was so visibly angry she literally threw the plate. Something is weird with this location read more

Been here a lot come with my daughter quite a bit, used to eat here for lunch at least once a week. Food is good everyone loves the sweet pork salad I always get the sweet pork burrito smothered. One thing I don't like is that they rush you through the line like cattle and are very quick and inconsiderate on their helpings. At the end of the line they ask you if you want any extra, don't forget to ask what comes on it or they'll skip giving you the sour cream. Guacamole is extra served in a thimble sized scoo, always a rip off. Fortunately there's a lot of coupons out for this place and the sweet pork itself is amazing. read more

Seriously people! Stop going to this place. They don't care about you or getting your order correct. Don't give them your money and your business. Ordered to go. Got home and no burrito. Drove 20 mins back. Got "a" burrito. They gave me all bean. I paid for steak. This is the third time this has happened and clearly they and the franchise owners don't give a crap. The only way they will actually give good service is if we all stop going there. Could they suck any worse?? Not really! And they ripped me off...bean for steak?? Really?? Costa Vida you suck! read more

Costa Vida is a good, solid Mexican/American chain fast food restaurant. The salads are very good, the pork Burrito or Enchiladas are also very good, as well as the nachos with the same meat. Try the fish tacos as well. Sometimes the consistency is a little weak, youll get different quantities of meat each time you go and the pico is sometimes a little lukewarm. The gal at the counter is going to really put the pressure on for a dollar tip with a big smiling "please sign at the bottom!" read more

I always come here when I am in the mood for some Fresh-Mex! Certainly one of my top picks in the area. My grandson Trevor loves to get the Sweet Pork Salad, he says it's "totally the BOMB!" The food here is always fast and fresh so I always find myself making my way back. read more

I've been to Costa Vida twice now, in the hope that my first experience would be better the second time. Nope. There are worse Mexican "Style" food) chains in the valley (Taco Bell comes instantly to mind), but the insipid food at Costa Vida isn't worth the calories. What is with the sweet red chile pork? There wasn't much of it in my taco, but that's ok, I did not like it. I did like the half-baked chocolate chip cookie. Maybe Costa Vida should become a cookie shop. I would give that a try. read more

For fast and convent food this place is a good one. I ordered the grilled shrimp tacos and they were great. The shrimp were plentiful and cooked for my order with the golden toasted tortilla. The flavor was sweet and yummy. With a side of black beans and lime rice a perfect trio. Don't forget some sour cream for the black beans to make them just that much better. Guac for the shrimp tacos and leave off the mess of lettuce. A little drippy messy but the sauce and taco is soooo worth it. Licking the juice off your fingers good! All this for just under $10. read more

My brother ordered us food from this place on door dash and highly recommended it. Halfway through eating my salad I noticed a giant dead moth in my food. It made me instantly sick to my stomach. Never eating from this place again and neither should you. read more

Costa Vida never disappoints! It doesn't matter which location I frequent, the food is well worth it!! Go hungry and leave full!! The salads have a generous amount atop a warm freshly made flour tortilla. The tomatillo ranch dressing is a must try! Don't just take my word for it, stop by and see the crowded dining area, others agree!! read more

Love Costa - Cafe WHO lol - great team, great food, fresh as always, service was great friendly staff

Used to love this place growing up. Went back after a few years and I'll drive the extra distance to Cafe Rio from now on. This has happened 2 times in the row, the first time I gave them the benefit of the doubt but after the second time I'll never go back. Very stingy with their portions inside my enchiladas and I got a side salad that was literally 3 bites. The horchata tasted like glycol. I used to always defend this place but Cafe Rio is far better. read more

I love costa vida and their food in general. But ok lets see you have not one not two not three four five or even six you have seven employees. Not a single one can ring me up while i stand there feeling like a fool. And lo and behold an 8th employee who probably was getting high in the back finally comes. What a joke. I shouldn't of waited that long. read more

I love this place! Always my go to quick bite! Healthy, great flavor, fast, clean and friendly staff! Has vegetarian options too! I will always support costa Vida! read more

This place is just like Cafe Rio but I think Cafe Rio is better. They are tight with their serving sizes of sour cream and guacamole. The chicken tortilla soup is very good though and the size portion on that is decent. read more

We ordered Costa Vida with delivery from GrubHub, the food was great everybody was happy with it there was 14 of us. GrubHub delivered on time was very nice would also give them six stars. We had a great food great day great company. read more

Ok. I don't know why the big craze over this bland overpriced food. The chicken is dry, the pork and shredded beef is greasy. Their sauces taste like they came out of cans. Long wait to order. Several employees standing around while our food needed to be finished while sitting there getting cold. VERY EXPENSIVE. I have gotten better "Mexican" food at Chipotle and Qdoba and that's not a compliment either. I ordered nachos with shredded beef. What I got was a huge pile of chips melted in one lump from the cheese. I literally had to cut them up with a fork and knife. TBH, Chili's would have been cheaper and better food. Anyone who eats here and loves this food doesn't know what good Mexican food is. read more

Pretty good food. Very long line. My Baja bowl had no tortilla and no sauce so that was disappointing. I really liked the queso and chips. read more
