We were looking for an alternative to Chipotle and were pretty disappointed. The food would have been fine had it not been for the way one of the employees wrapped my burrito. The moment he laid his hands on it he squeezed each side and tore a hole in the middle, not to mention that he didn’t even WRAP it, he just slightly tucked it. I had to unfold it and eat it like a bowl. Queso was watery and mediocre. Place has potential just learn how to wrap the burrito please :(

Ordered steak tacos, with shredded cheese, 3 types of beans, lettuce, pico and mango salsa.The tortillas are fresh made there. They taste good but are almost as thick as a pita and flour.The steak looked yummy however the meat was mushy.I tried the refried pinto beans, pintos and black beans. The refried were dry and both type of pinto beans were chili beans.The black beans were non chili so I liked them the best.The lettuce looks like a Romano, crispy and fresh. All the food other than refried looked and tasted fresh. They had several salsas to choose from. The mango salsa was zesty but lacked bite. I asked for cheese and got very little.They had a variety of bottled Mx sodas and fountain soda, and agua de horchata. I was told the agua de horchata is from a powder mix therefore I didn’t try. A bigger variety of non-soda beverages would be appreciated.The restaurant was pretty clean, semi busy and several tables were not clean.We sat at a table with trash directly behind us which was a mistake. People constantly throwing stuff away which was a bit uncomfortable and noisy.The people serving/register were all very friendly and knowledgeable. They advised me that food is made fresh every morning. Also, good sized portions.The food seemed fresh however it did not taste like authentic Mexican food and was somewhat bland in flavor and mushy textured.They charge extra for everything including salsa.Salsa is a Mexican staple which is traditionally included in a meal therefore it seems counterintuitive to charge extra for it. 2oz $.50 cents, 4oz $1.00.They do offer bottled hot sauce (Cholula) for free.I suggest not serving food in aluminum to-go bowls. It seems very wasteful and the trash filled up very quickly due to size of bowl. So many companies offer biodegradable/environmentally friendly dishes nowadays. Why don’t you?This restaurant was ok, but definitely not a favorite. Similar to a Qdoba or Chipotle but more bland.

Crazy good food. What was alarming was a bunch of high school boys (7) flooded in and went behind the food counter and served themselves food and sat down in dining area. Crazy
We were having our baby at the hospital nearby, and when we placed our order to go, the staff was so awesome and accommodating, and sent us a handwritten letter congratulating us on our baby and threw in a free entrée. It was an incredibly thoughtful gesture, and they won over a customer for life. Customer service was above and beyond.

They wouldn't do the burrito without the tortilla in the same sized bowl as the normal burrito so I ended up with a bit less food.
This place suuuuuucks if you’re a vegan. Tortillas are cooked on a grill with dairy, rice is cooked with dairy, if you ask for a vegetarian meal it doesn’t even come with fajita vegetables, they give a free tortilla dessert that isn’t vegan. Build your own Mexican is so easy to be accommodating to people with dietary restrictions.

Very good food, would definitely recommend the tomatillo ranch! Employee’s even remembered my order! Costa Vida is the best.Kid-friendliness: Very nice and kind to my children. Employees went out of there way to help and ask what they needed. Helped growing their communication skills. My children loved it! Customer service is excellent and food was also delicious!!!

Food was fresh and delicious. Erica and Lisa were very helpful and
The absolute worst staff and customer service I have experienced at a fast casual restaurant in a long time. After I looked at the receipt a few minutes after checking out, I realized we got double charged for multiple items and they refused to offer a refund. I kept my cool the entire time and pointed out the discrepancy yet the team was unwilling to budge. Very disappointed. Certainly not a customer centric culture. Visitor beware!!!
