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
Anastasia C.

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.

I came here after getting out of the emergency room, it was the closest next to this market I went…read morefirst. I was starving and just wanted to eat. I came here before with a friend several times. You get seated anywhere you want. They served you chips and salsa when first sit down and asked what you like to drink. I got agua de Jamaica, it's iced tea made of dried hibiscus flowers. It's sweet and tangy. I asked for side or guacamole. I ordered 2 chile rellleno with all rice. I don't like beans. It came out within 10 mins ordering it. The plate came out hot. The waitress warn me before she put it down. I couldn't eat it at first. It was too hot and fresh. The rellanos was covered in some type of brown sauce. It was savory and good. I love chile rellanos. Not a lot make it good. But this one was good. I put the guacamole on my rice and went at it. I never got refill of my drink and they never offered me water. She asked if I was doing ok once and gave me the check before I was done. What if I wanted dessert? Hmm The service was nice and friendly. I wanted a refill. There was a lot of people in the restaurant is tucked inside same parking lot of gas station and liquor store. Next to the Oriental Market.

Cafe Delicias is the best Mexican food on the planet…read more Nothing compares. Not even San Diego Mexican food. Tex-Mex might be the only thing that compares. I miss this place every day.

They default to a medium-hot. Ask for mild or no sauce if you're sensitive. The chips and salsa bar is nice, and you can take some to-go. The salsas are all hot to extra hot. There is a pico that is not hot. We also enjoyed the sour cream avocado sauces. The burritos are over $13 each, and standard in size. Not extra large at all. I would go again for a nice treat.

Dining option in Downtown Roseville [Roseville CA]…read more Came here for an early lunch one Sunday morning and ordered a Steak & Egg Plate. They open early and are located in Downtown Roseville. Very spacious interior including booths and table seating as well as picnic benches outdoors. The salsa bar is located next to the soda fountain machine. This is a counter service and they will serve your food to your table. I'm not a pro when it comes to Mexican food but the Mexican-style Steak & Eggs featured perfectly grilled steak paired with fluffy eggs mixed together and came with refried beans, sour cream, avocado, salsa, shredded cheese and rice. Also, choice of warm corn or flour tortilla. Oh, also there were also fries... like French fries? Friendly help at the counter. Food came fast. Review #4001
