The food is always great at Costa Vida. The service was a little off today as they gave a very small amount of meat and cheese in comparison to everything else. However, it still tasted great! I would definitely recommend the sweet pork as a filling for everything, especially the quesadillas.

It's frustrating and annoying that after years of this restaurant model they still aren't trying to get a better system for the amount of meat served than just having the servers eyeball it. On this visit my son's salad and my salad were both abnormally sparse in terms of the meat the guy put in our entrees compared to other visits. And it left my son very disappointed when he ate his salad (which I didn't find out till later). The server was clearly trying to be really fast and efficient, and so he just grabbed a little glob of meat and threw it on each salad, and immediatley moved on to the other ingredients without really considering how small the globs were. I don't blame him as much as the restaurant itself though, because it's a decision by the people at the top to choose a highly variable system that doesn't use any measuring devices, and then asks customers for an extra 2.50 or four bucks if you want more meat. I sometimes pay to get more, but honestly when the first glob is already tiny, it feels like a huge rip off to pay another couple of bucks for what is likely to be another tiny glob of meat. So Costa Vida has decided they don't care if sometimes you get a lot less than what you think you are paying for. Obviously not every ingredient needs precise measurements, and the precision doesn't have to be perfect, but it's offensive to customers when the restaurant doesn't even attempt to use an actual measuring tool of any kind for the most expensive and key ingredient that makes or breaks the meal. So, if you're going to play that game, at least train the employees to err on the side of generosity instead of skimping. With all the cafeteria style restaurants that have learned about measuring cups or scales, it's very disappointing to still be playing roulette at places like Costa Vida and Cafe Rio.

If you have any food allergies this isnt the place for you!! I told them I was allergic to guacamole and they still grabbed the guacamole spoon and tried to put it on my plate. I also repeated my order 5 times! They still couldn't get it right. I have counted 7 employees standing around on their phones, eating and drinking, even the ones behind the counter!!

Door dashed from this Costa Vida. Sides were missing, items were undercooked, drinks weren't completely full, and was missing basic items like napkins, straws, untinsils. Absolute joke.
Least professional staff I have ever encountered. We walked in 45 minutes before closing to order and we're treated like an inconvenience. Then, as we were eating in the dining room my kids and I were eating we had to listen to the staff speak louding about their dating endeavors with teenage girls. They were bragging about dating a 17 year old 3 months before she turned 18 and one even bragged about telling a 29 year old woman he was 18 when he was actually 16. They were also cussing and using profanity very loudly at the front counter. It was very uncomfortable to say the least.
I love costa Vida the employees are so great and helpful and the food is amazing. Jordan is the absolute goat he’s such a chiller and very helpful.

I ordered a quesadilla with extra meat and cheese. They put cheese and meat in cups and gave it to me like I am supposed to assemble the quesadilla. Really weird experience, and they looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for it to be fixed.
