    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

Wow, excellent service. The guy came out to my window after I left, he noticed that I didn't get any salsa. I mentioned that I had never been to the restaurant before, I think he wanted to make sure I got salsa if I wanted some. That saved me the frustration of getting home to find that I didn't have what I needed. Another thing that was nice that they did was ask how far I was going, I got it to go. He realized that the tortillas would get soggy, so he put them on the side. I love a new restaurant because they do everything they can to make the experience the very best. I hope that they continue to think of themselves as a new restaurant 50 years from now. If they do, this will be an incredibly successful restaurant. I wish you and your staff the very best

When I asked to add four more tacos, the price jumped to $175. When I politely asked for clarification on the math--as $40 for four tacos seemed excessive--the staff member became defensive and snappy. Instead of explaining the charges, she told me to "come inside and see for myself" in a very condescending tone. The unprofessionalism continued when I asked if there would be an extra charge for onions and jalapeños. Rather than answering a simple yes or no, she responded with further attitude, demanding to know if I "wanted it or not" before finally stating it was included. Despite the terrible service, I proceeded with the order and requested a 9:30 p.m. pickup time to ensure the food would be ready for a strict 10:00 p.m. deadline for my brother. Despite placing this order seven hours in advance, the food was not ready when my mom arrived at 9:30 p.m., and she was forced to wait. Between the rude, dismissive attitude of the staff and the failure to have a pre-ordered meal ready on time, I am extremely disappointed. I will not be returning to this location

Their…read morechips come out warm, perfectly salty, and totally addictive -- and most of the time we can't get enough of the salsa. It's basically our default when we want sit-down Mexican. The salsa can vary a little from batch to batch (sometimes mild, sometimes surprisingly fiery), but that's part of the experience. Just know they bring a bowl per entrée and then charge for extras -- which feels a little lame, not gonna lie... but we still order it anyway because it's still good. It's clean, lively, and always buzzing. Weekend evenings? Absolute chaos. If you don't like a packed house and a wait, plan accordingly. We've learned our lesson there. Food-wise, it's the classic comfort lineup and it never disappoints. Cheese enchiladas are a staple for us. The flautas? So good. Fajitas? Solid every time. And let's just say if you're not adding cheese on top of your beans... you're missing out on the full experience. That melty layer makes everything better. We ordered off the kids menu this time too, and honestly I was impressed. $7 for a kids meal where you pick the entrée feels fair these days, and everything came out hot and tasty. Now... tonight's service was rough. Our server, Noemi, took about 15 minutes to bring water after we sat down -- even after we asked three separate times. We had chips and salsa immediately (and this batch of salsa was way hotter than usual), so when our toddler started coughing from the spice and needed water, we let her know. Somehow she still came back to take our order before bringing drinks. We literally had to say, "Can we please get water before we order?" It was strange and honestly frustrating. BUT. The food was still great. The atmosphere is still one we enjoy. And the chips and salsa will absolutely pull us back in again. La Hacienda is still our go-to when the salsa craving hits -- we'll just be hoping for smoother service next time.

The food was the same delicious meal we've experienced in Draper but service was less than impressive.

If you are okay with exchanging waiting to be seated with subpar service it's the same food. I however am thinking the service at the other location will pull me back there.

Of everything we tried, the Cheesy Pastor Tacos were the clear standout. The birria, asada, and chorizo were all good, but the pastor tacos stole the show. Next time I'll probably skip the variety and just order those. The only thing that caught us off guard was the seating policy. They wouldn't seat our table until everyone in the party had arrived, even though the people we were waiting for were literally pulling into the parking lot. It wasn't a huge issue, but it did feel a little unnecessary and inconvenient. Overall, the food was excellent, the drinks were refreshing, and the experience was a good one. I'll definitely be back, especially for the Cheesy Pastor Tacos.
