    Chips and queso
    Brittany B.

    Tonight, I ate at Costa Vida for dinner. I ordered three tacos and a side of rice. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. I liked going down the line to pick what goes on my plate. There were lots of options, and the staff was patient while I decided.The tortillas were made fresh right in front of me. You could see them press and cook each one. That made a big difference. The place had a casual, relaxed atmosphere. Easy to sit and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. I left full and happy. I'll definitely come back.

    I was in Roseville running errands and feeling a bit peckish. I wanted a quick snack, not junk, but real food to tide me over and sit a spell. I used Yelp to find nearby places. Costa Vida, counter service chain, specializing in Baja Mexican food popped up. Overall I had a good experience. Awesome customer service. Taco was not bad at all. Comfortable dining area. I ordered a single shredded beef taco ~$6. The flour tortilla is grilled slightly. The staff assembles the taco with the fixings right in front of you. Made your way. The taco is full size, not street taco size. The fixings were fresh looking and tasting. The shredded beef was ok, a bit bland. Not knock my socks off flavor wise but not bad at all. The dining area had a lot of seating. Chill place to eat and relax. No one rushing you out. They also have some outdoor tables.

    Kid's Taco Meal

    If you're looking for affordable GOOD food, you've food it. Fresh tortillas, where else do they do that?! The portions are massive too. One burrito can easily feed 2 people. And the kids meals are the best deal in town! Today, we tried their new chili lime shredded chicken- I hope it stays on the menu forever!! So juicy and flavorful. Pinto beans are my fav. And I love that they have a ton of options for toppings too- make sure to try the salsa Fresca and avocado ranch! Don't forget to check what their daily special is! On Sunday, you can pick any special. So worth it!! Okay so the food is great, service is good. But I will say the inside isn't the best. Usually people get food to go, or we chose to sit outside today. But the drink area and indoor tables needed some attention. But we will for sure come back! Oh and pro-tip- get their app because the points add up and you get great rewards: free entree, free dessert, or up to like $1000 off catering. Especially if you have a business that you purchase for frequently.

    Sweet pork burrito smothered
    Amber M.

    I absolutely love Costa Vida, so I really hate to be leaving a negative review--but my last visit here was full of issues. When we first walked up to the front door, there was a horrible smell outside. I'm not sure what it was, but it was very unpleasant. Inside, I noticed several tables with puddles of water underneath them--not just in one area, but throughout the restaurant. We proceeded to order at the counter. My teenage daughter went first and ordered the quesadilla special. I ordered my favorite, the sweet pork burrito (which, to be fair, was delicious as always). My husband ordered last, the daily special--sweet pork enchiladas. As we moved down the line, we realized my daughter's order hadn't been made at all. I brought it up, and only then did they start preparing it--but they ended up making her a kids quesadilla meal instead of the quesadilla special she had asked for. After paying, we found a table and went to fill our drinks. My husband poured iced tea from the separate tea container. When he took a sip, it tasted awful. He opened the lid and saw things floating in it that looked like mold. Checking the container, we saw the prep sticker--made on Tuesday 8/26, use by Friday 8/29--but this visit was on Tuesday 9/2. That's four days past the "use by" date and a full week since it was prepped. Finally, I tried to scan my receipt in the Costa Vida app for rewards. It kept saying "invalid." After trying multiple times, I asked an employee for help. She told me, "Oh, no problem, I'll add it in for you." But several days later, no rewards were ever added. Overall, the food itself (at least my burrito) was great, but everything else about this visit was disappointing--from cleanliness and order accuracy to expired tea and unhelpful rewards support. I truly hope management addresses these issues, because I normally love Costa Vida and want this location to succeed.

    Sweet pork Small Salad
    Matthew K.

    Took a detour from my usual chicken nachos (which never miss) yesterday and went with the sweet pork salad. That pork is ridiculously tender and packed with flavor, with just the right balance of sweetness and smokiness. Add in that fresh tortilla at the base, black beans, the mountain of crisp romaine, the creamy house dressing, and a scoop of guac to crown it all? Chef's kiss. You've got a salad that doesn't feel like a compromise--it feels like a celebration. Friendly service, clean space, and food that hits every time. Still firmly in my 5-star rotation.

Since moving away, I've realized it's not just about the burger. It's about the ritual. The laughs in the parking lot. The post-workout breakdown of life, goals, and nonsense. These little traditions hit different when you don't have them every week anymore. This stop didn't just feed me -- it soothed my soul and reminded me that no matter where life takes you, good friends are forever. We ordered the classic: Double-Double protein style with pickles (yes, just ask and they'll load them on). Fresh, hot, consistent -- every single time. That crisp lettuce wrap around that perfectly messy burger? Elite fuel. This location is always crazy. Parking is wild. The drive-thru line wraps around like it's Black Friday. But the team doesn't even blink. They move with that perfect mix of hospitality and professionalism -- focused, fast, and friendly. No panic, just execution. It's more than fast food. It's memories. It's tradition. It's post-gym earned calories with someone who matters. And every time I come back, it feels like home.

    Disappointing Experience Due to Food Safety Concern…read more I visited this restaurant on Wednesday for lunch. This was actually my second time dining here. My first visit was pleasant, which is why I decided to come back. This time, I ordered what I believe was the tri-tip steak wrap. As I was finishing the first half of my wrap, I noticed a dead fly in my food. Needless to say, I was shocked and immediately lost my appetite. I walked to the front and asked to speak with a manager. The cashier who helped me was very friendly and professional. I explained the situation to her, and she relayed it to the manager. While I do appreciate that they refunded my meal, what disappointed me most was the manager's response. He never came over to speak with me, apologize, or acknowledge the situation directly. From where I was standing, he appeared visibly disturbed when informed, but he simply instructed the cashier to issue a refund and never addressed me as the customer. I understand that mistakes happen and that it was a busy lunch rush. However, finding a fly in a meal is a serious food safety issue, and I believe a manager or owner should take a moment to personally speak with the customer, show concern, and offer an apology. A little empathy would have gone a long way. The refund was appreciated, but the lack of acknowledgment and customer care left a much stronger impression than the refund itself. Unfortunately, after this experience, I'm hesitant to return.

I have been to other poki places and nothing compares to the freshness, the flavor... and THE PRICE! I am always satisfied with the flavor and I am so happy that after getting a large bowl (5 scoops of protein!) I have enough to make 2 meals out of it! I always go with their fresh salmon (there is tuna and scallops available as well), but let's start with the base... I have them put in some spring mix in the togo container and then cover that with some white rice. Brown rice is an option as well. Next, you pick your protein. In a separate bowl, they put your protein into it and you have your choice of success they can toss it in. I like a sweet and savory, with some spicy, so I go with sweet and spicy mayo, salty sesame shoyou, sometimes sweet unagi, and definitely add sesame and chili oil... what can I say, I am a saucy girl! Then they put that tossed fresh fish over the base. Then you pick your toppings. There is a soft boiled egg, cucumber, pineapple, crab mix, seaweed salad, kimchee, masago (they also have spicy), jalapenos, green onions, and so many more choices. To top it off, you can add the chili oil, soy sauce, furkake, and crispy wontons. For measly $22 and change your got an easy 2 meals. Please, don't forget to leave a tip! I like to sit inside and eat half here. They are always working hard with online orders and customers walking in. I like to use the chopsticks, but I also get a togo fork as well in case my daughter eats my other half (highly likely!) The biggest reason for this review is that this is the best price around. The best fresh flavor around! If you guys like poki bowls, I absolutely encourage you to come to Chaodown Poki and I promise you'll be a fan, too! There is teriyaki chicken here as well if you aren't down with the fresh taste of fish!
