    I chose Costa Vida because of a gift card. I prefer Cafe Rio normally, but a discount is a discount. This location is neat and the dining area is nice, but the service here is below par. Our burritos were made somewhat sloppy, and when they were put in the warmer to melt the cheese, they sat there so long that they almost fell off. I was kind of hoping they would fall off the warmer just so they'd have to remake the burrito. For what it costs, Costa skimps on portion, and the employees here don't go the extra mile.

    I would rate the vibe, décor and atmosphere of Costa Vida five stars. I love the beachy/surfer feel and they do a nice job of branding. Kudos to the marketing team. The food, however, leaves a little to be desired. I'm comparing the menu to Café Rio, which may or may not be fair-but that's my standard for rating all food in this genre (fast casual Mexican). I always order the same thing at both places too, so that makes it easier to compare. I ordered a chicken salad, and I was surprised at the size difference between large and small. There's a big difference-and the price is only $1 more for the large. Probably worth the Washington. * Some of the lettuce was wilted and soggy-I picked those pieces out. Another person in my party had the same issue and picked hers out as well. * The shell was disappointing-not only was it small-didn't cover the edges of the tin, but it was hard along the edges. I think it had sat out for awhile. * Finally, the chicken. The flavor was pretty good, but it was a bit dry. I appreciate how the Rio does a very moist, shredded chicken that leaves liquid at the bottom of the salad. That may just be my personal preference. I know that Costa Vida has a huge following-so it might just be me that doesn't care for the food. I do want to shout out to the staff-the young teens were friendly and quick at getting our orders taken.

    Burrito was super salty and this is all the pico de gallo given. This location was good for a while but it's been downhill lately.

    Soup ... sigh good thing I was starving... sigh

    I love their food... but this location struggles. I ordered a soup , nachos and quesadilla. They couldn't get the order together I waited for 15 min.... To get the entrees. They couldn't seem to get them right. Finally I get it get home and they didn't put the lid on the soup. So after a huge fiasco and waiting I am just getting home to my meal bring half.

    This aluminum shaving came out of my daughter's vitamin water.

    We go to this location quite often. But found this aluminum shaving in my daughter's vitamin water. This is obviously a huge problem and unacceptable for multiple reasons.

    Sweet pork Tacos

    This costa vida is consistently disappointing. They often get my order wrong or it's just very poorly made. Twice I've gone through the drive through and have come home with one of my tacos missing meat. Today was extra fun when both the tortillas were crispy and tasted stale. It's ran by high schoolers and is obvious no one there cares about quality.

    Chips and Queso. Make sure to tell them you want it filled up all the way. Shouldn't have to ask for that.
    Melissa J.

    When all you order is chips and queso and they can't even fill either container up to a reasonable amount. Not cool Costa Vida! Updated with a new photo. My sweet pork salad and the insane amount of liquid I had to drain out of it is in the lid. Not sure why they thought this would be acceptable to serve.

    Chips and Guacamole

    Chips and Guacamole I ordered chips and queso and chips and guacamole... I got chips for days but I paid 7.99 for this. NOPE never again..... ripped off!!!!!!

    We were excited to try this new location at the Ball park . We went here on Saturday night. They…read morewere pretty busy but we got seated right away . I ordered the Halibut fish n chips & vanilla Diet Coke . My husband got the chili burger & onion rings . It took forever for our food to arrive . We started to notice that people that had came in after us were getting their food before us . We asked our waiter & he said he would find out where our food was at. Finally after waiting 45 minutes they brought out our food but forgot the onion rings . They brought those out after a few minutes. The food was hot & fresh . The fish was crisp & flakey it was delicious. The fries were good & the fry sauce is amazing. The chili burger was good it came with 2 patties . The chili is spicy & flavorful with lots of cheese . The onion rings were good the onions are thick & the breading is crunchy. This order of onion rings is on the smaller side. They did offer a 15% off discount since our food took so long . The prices are kinda high but the food is good .

It makes sense that a place like this would be brought into Downtown Daybreak. It's brand new, and they are still working on some finishing touches. Like, signage, for example. Everything looks pretty temporary and still being finished. I also noticed that there was no music, which, paired with the lack of decor, made things feel a little sterile. The food was good-just what you'd expect from Hires. I ordered the chicken fingers and fries and ended up with so much food leftover that I had a whole separate meal later. Portion sizes are generous! I look forward to seeing how they settle in and get comfortable.

I asked first if they serve burgers in the morning... they said yes so here we are. The fries were hot, fresh and great. The burger was fresh, the lettuce and tomato were fresh, the beef was fresh and the burger was good. Glad I got it. My craving was satisfied. The person helping were very helpful and nice.

    Well, what can I say?.. is my first time having Jack in the box and I wasn't that impressed. The…read moreplace was clean so I'll give them that other than that let's see what they had to offer... Food 2/5 I ordered a double cheeseburger with bacon. It was tasty, but it was warm to the touch. The cheese wasn't even melted. I also got the order with seasoned curly fries and I'd say 50%. We're edible the rest we're hard and crunchy and my teeth felt like they were shattering... after fishing around for the soft curly fries. I just gave up and just finished my fruit punch drink just to wash everything down and get the heck out of there.. Service 2/5 there was no urgency in this establishment. I was waiting for help and one of the servers there came to me and I greeted them and they pointed at the screen in front of me indicating that it's a screen self-serving kiosk and then walked away... so I had to sit there and try to figure out a computer when they could've kindly assisted me and placed an order in a timely matter.. if you don't like your job, just quit it Ambience 4/5 everything was very clean. The tables were very clean first glance I think other than that I didn't really enjoy it that much. The cleanliness was the only thing that stood out the most.. the menu looked very delicious, but for my first introduction to Jack in the box, this was pretty crappy..
