This location is great! Alex is such a hard worker! He was very attentive and was extremely helpful! Alex should be employ of the month every month!! read more

Horrible experience. Food was fine till I found a piece of plastic in it (appears to be a corner of a spatula). When we reached out to management about our issue they only offered us free chips to make up for it. No refund. No care for the actual problem they caused. Never going back. read more

Date night at Costa Vida! Wooo! Did you know they have a great deal 2 for $22 meal?! That was a fun surprise. The Bride and I enjoyed a small salad, chips and queso, and drinks. It was a great deal and very filling. We sat outside as it was a lovely evening. The food was tasty as always and the cafeteria style makes the service quick. read more

Costa Vida - 2 small salads, chips and queso - Mexican Near Me - Saratoga Springs, Utah

I went through the drive thru and ordered two of the same meals: two honey shrimp tacos with black beans. I was asked if I wanted lettuce and I said yes. I also asked to sub the mango salsa with pico. I didn't get the lettuce and didn't get the pico. Disappointing! The tacos were super plain...not sure I'd go back. read more

On a $55 order, along with a Honey Butter Shrimp Salad and 2 Grilled Chicken Tacos. I ordered the Sweet Pork Salad with 4oz extra meat. What I got was a below the rim salad with less that 4oz of total meat! Very disappointing! The American Fork location is much better! read more

Honestly I don't even know why I came back. Don't waste your money here, as delicious as it is I don't think it's worth getting barely any food on the plate and playing $20 for two kids meals read more

Alex was the absolute best ever. Constantly looking for ways to help and clean and whatever else anyone needs. So happy and kind. We loved him!! read more

We went through the drive-thru at Costa Vida after driving all day, hoping for some warm food and friendly service since we aren't from the area. Unfortunately, that's not what we got. The staff was rude, and to top it off, my drink wasn't even filled up all the way. After a long day on the road, it would've been nice to be greeted with a smile and get what we paid for. Really disappointing experience. read more

Had a great experience today in the drive thru! The ordering went smoothly, line moved quickly, and order was correct. The food was hot and fresh. I got a large chicken salad and there was a lot of chicken! I love their house dressing. Costa Vida is always fresh and a go-to! read more

Wasted my time I waited there for 40 minutes asking for my order three times just for them to tell me 40 minutes later that they handed it out 40 minutes ago to someone else . read more

costa vida is 100% the best food place! kind staff, and they always manage to keep it clean! never had a problem!!

This location is usually busy and with good reason, it's so good. We came at lunch time for the high school on Halloween and the people watching was A+. I really appreciate the staff especially on Halloween with so many kiddos ruining about. They were kind, happy and helpful to all of us. Very good with time and made me feel happy to be there. The food was good as always! We both got the special. I noticed the drinks were all filled up and that's one of my favorite reasons to go, for the drinks. read more

Alex is amazing! So kind and has exceptional customer service! Give him a raise! He seems to love his job!

Every time we get food here it's amazing and the service is amazing. I want to shout out Alex, who makes our experience every time. Today I was alone with my baby, and he was extremely helpful as he grabbed my garbage and drinks to throw away after he kindly asked if I was done. He then proceeded to open the door with full hands because my hands were full with my baby and bags. He's always incredibly kind, and helpful. We notice how attentive he is, and what a hard worker he is. Alex deserves a raise! He always makes our experience great. We love Alex, and we love Costa Vida! read more

Looking for great, fast, and incredibly tasty food, then costas exactly the place! While the food tastes great, the employees are better! Opening the door for us, taking trash, and even checking in! However the food gets a little sloppy but the price matches perfectly especially for a quick lunch trip. Great environment to go on side quests with friends and a great dinner option for families. They have lots of different food option with a bunch of different meats! The pork was by far the best, especially in the quesadillas form. Not only that but you also get great tropical feeling in the restaurant while eating some delicious food! Another awesome thing they added is their new meals as well as the support with westlake! This is an amazing place with amazing food, just need to improve the food quality when making the food. read more

Alex deserves a raise! He single handily took my experience to the next level. He held the door for us and got our trash. This man is without question the highlight of my experience. He may be the best worker I've ever come across. If I was a scout he would definitely be D1 He's that good read more

HOLTZMAN IS NOW A HOMIE Got me through a breakup, and was super friendly. Was able to have a conversation with us, while he was waiting in line for the toile. I recommend that you increase his pay. Cause he is just true guy that loves his job and loves the customers read more

Great food! I love that they offer smaller sizes if you aren't feeling as hungry! Their steak salad with their house dressing is my favorite! Expect to wait in line, they are always busy; but that's because they are so good! read more

Costa Vida - Small Chicken Salad with no Pico - Mexican Near Me - Saratoga Springs, Utah

Assigning a 10% tip as default on an online order that I pick up I ridiculous. Greedy company. Have some tact and standards. You have zero servers and shouldn't be asking for tips at all. Pay your employees you are charging more than enough for your food. read more

Excellent burrito portion, place was very clean, I'm very impressed with the staff. Came in at peak lunch time- crew was very efficient and positive. But I was floored by how helpful and observant Alex was. He is taking care of his lobby like it's his home & we are his guests. With the positivity & and hard work he's leading with- highly suggest a raise for that young man!! read more

I'm going to give this place the benefit of the doubt because of my distaste for their main competitor in the state. This location usually is so great, despite long wait times in the evening, the food quality and portions are always consistent so you know what you're going to get but the last two times I have visited this location the amount of meat I've been given on my salad was pathetic. Usually they give a very generous scoop full of meat and plop it on there but the last two times I have gotten a couple of bits worth of meat and I feel like that is what makes the whole entree so without the meat the whole meal is ruined. This could be due to the economic strain that many businesses are currently experiencing but nothing has been posted about portion sizes has changing so I'm hopeful that these last two visits have just been a fluke. read more

Food was fine, but I normally prefer Cafe Rio. They skimped on the portions. Nice workers, all pretty young. Vibe is the same as any Costa Vida. read more

Liz was awesome and the food was great! Liz was super helpful and friendly and set a good tone for the whole restaurant! For sure will come again! read more

Waited in line for 30 minutes for enchiladas that barely had any meat in them. Staff didn't help me until I had to flag someone down. The restaurant was dirty and I had to wipe my own table off too. read more

The extra star is because we like Costa Vida. The online ordering experience was horrendous. We try not to be complainers but when you come 10 minutes after the order is supposed to be ready and let the people up front know your name and they tell you it will be out soon, you sit down, 10 minutes go by and most of the people waiting have left, go back up to check on the order and they say it will come out soon, more people who have walked in and ordered have gotten their food, and then you go back up and they say that your order never made the kitchen as you continue to entertain your baby. And then they give nothing for the inconvenience of keeping you waiting and feeling totally neglected, that's a pretty bad customer experience. Again, giving 2 stars because it's not the norm, they're typically good. But please, when you mess up, do something for your clients so they know you're owning it. With that said, smothered pork burritos are a solid option, as is the sweet pork salad. read more

It was a terrible experience. I ordered my food online because I was working and had only a few minutes to pick it up and eat it on my lunch break. I showed up 5 minutes after my food was supposed to be done and they hadn't even printed the receipt to start making it. Then they helped everyone in line before making my food that I ordered 20 minutes before anyone in line had got there. They ended up helping probably 7 people before me. I waited an extra 15-20 minutes for my food to be ready on top of giving them a 5 minute grace period for my online order to be finished. I can't believe how awful of an experience it was. read more

Went through drive thru asked for extra meat in salad and extra lettuce. They charged me for extra meat and extra lettuce and also gave me less than a normal amount of lettuce and I'm not exaggerating, two bites of meat. I'm pissed to say the least And not only that but a random piece of chicken ended up in the salad when I ordered pork. Very disrespectful. read more

They gave me not even one fork full of meat on my taco. But the person behind me got like 2 cups of meat on their salad. When I asked for more meat they said it would cost more money. read more

Costa Vida - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Saratoga Springs, Utah

I love Costa Vida...probably a little more than Cafe Rio. They add queso to their nachos without an up charge. They do smothered (enchilada style at Cafe Rio) for free as well. There burritos are great and taste awesome! I typically go for the steak, which is always tender. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The food is always good. I will go back again! read more

I'm not sure what has changed with this location. I mostly do pick up and they have been so off on their pick up times for awhile now. Waiting for 10-15 minutes past the time they gave me. The food is always good but it seems like they always miss at least one thing on an order. Disappointing read more

I love this place. However I found a lady bug in my lettuce and pico and it was late at night and I had gone through the drive thru. not sure how that happened. I know sometimes that's unavoidable but eh!! read more

Costa Vida - Lady bug in my lettuce and pico - Mexican Near Me - Saratoga Springs, Utah

First time coming to this location, i have had bad experiences at other locations. HOWEVER this place was amazing. Customer service top tier. We had a bigger group and ALEX was so kind and helped us gather tables together. He also was on top of everything! As we were eating I noticed him cleaning all the trays. He made our experience amazing. Gave us some mints at the end too! Every other employee at this location also very nice. Had a great time. read more

The workers are friendly. However, seems like every time I come to this location their portions are small compared to other locations. The salads we ordered hardly had rice, lettuce and meat. All the dressings we ordered were half full, and the chips barely filled the bowl. At least the queso was filled to the top. But I ran out of chips to use on the queso. read more

These guys never fill their containers anywhere near full. Super frustrating when you pay $$$ and only get partial. read more

This costa vida specifically is the BEST. The food is always fresh, theyre always fast and get our order perfect. Id drive out of my way to come to this store read more

We enjoy Costa often, once a week or every other week if I was guessing. Lately prices have increased a bit which is typically with all the inflation but the last few trips to Costa have also had a pretty significant reduction in value. Literally one tablespoon of rice and beans these days which really takes away from the meal. Extra pico that costs $0.50 more is amount two teaspoons worth. Meat has scaled back a noticeable amount as well but that makes more sense since market prices for meat have increased ~20% or so. I am not complaining about the increased cost, I am complaining about the increased cost with reduced value. Do one or the other, not both please. read more

I have gone to the other similar "Cafe" for many many years, never really giving Costa Vida a chance. There is a Cafe just down the street that I have been to dozens of times. I've always waited and waited at the Cafe and have received shoddy service. Costa Vida is different. First of all, having a drive through is a major plus. Even on a Friday night with a dozen or more cars in the line, the line moves fast enough that I couldn't complain. They send employees out to take orders on an iPad and that seemingly makes things even faster. My favorite thing about Costa Vida is that their quality is consistent. I get the same quality of food every time. That is nice. I always order a side of rice, which is is always good. The cafe is hit or miss with crunchy rice at times. Their queso is much better than the Cafe's. Their chips are better too. I wish both restaurants could figure out a way to keep shredded lettuce out of the salsa. That is a pet peeve. Where they fall short of the cafe is portions and flavor. While the service and quality at Costa Vida is better in almost every way, the portions are smaller for the same price, and the sauces and meats aren't as rich and delicious as the Cafe. Flavor notwithstanding, I'll still go to Costa Vida most of the time because the speed, service, and consistency make going here more convenient and convenience is a big deal, especially since most places are understaffed because of the hiring crisis. I don't want to spend an hour getting dinner for my family after a long day of work, and with Costa Vida, I don't have to, even on the busiest days and times. read more

I used to be a huge cafe rio fan. I would eat there once a week most weeks. However they kept messing up my to go orders. I have allergies and a little cross contamination is no big deal for me but having to go in to the restaurant and having them remake my order was annoy so I started going to costa Vida and haven't looked back. They have never messed up my order and the raspberry chipotle chicken is bomb! read more

Somehow they are ALWAYS OUT of strawberry limonada! 3 times this has happened recently. Can they not daily just make an extra batch and set it aside for their customers? I spoke to the manager about it today and she said she could make me some but it would take 10 minutes. I was in the drive thru... I told her I come here just for this drink. Please owner/ managers figure out this problem. :D read more
