i have lived in layton my whole life (im 20) i saw when the buildings were being made for fizz and costa vida, through the years i have noticed that this costa vida isnt bad and i would rather take my chances with it then any other in the area, the only thing is to not trust the drive through you should understand by now that you can not feed a family by working in fast food, so naturally the hires are high schoolers/people who look like they would work at md, if you think a high schooler cares about your food go to a sit down restaurant, these kids could care less so dont be mad when you get no meat or are given pork instead of steak, just go inside and get it to-go dont be afraid to ask for more meat cause 9 times out of 10 your order isnt going to be loaded! dont have high expectations when kids who still have bed times make your food

Mckay is the reason i go here. He always makes my food to perfection and has a smile on his face while doing it. 10/10 would recommend to connoisseurs of excellent mexican cuisine.

Every time I come to this location, they never have steak every single time. I always have to wait 15-20 minutes for it. (I never wait) i just get the kids something and go Terrible service. Every other location always has all the meats ready except this one. There was three customers behind me that were pissed that there was no meat ready almost all of the beans were gone. They basically said we have an abundance of lettuce if that’s what you want.

I do like this place and the food, but it can be hit and miss with the staff and customer service. Sometimes they are friendly and helpful and other times they are more focused on other things. One time they were out of alot of food and I didn't get what I wanted. I will still go here to eat, but each experience is so inconsistent it is hard to tell what it will be like.

The line was so slow and one of the employees was rude there was a girl, and when I asked for my older I asked for no guacamole cuz I am allergic and when I got she put guacamole on it.
I ordered 2 sweet pork salads when I got home they had given me the smalls and not the regular size. I order them a lot and have been asked a couple times regular or small. All the other times I order it they always make the regular size. I didn’t notice until I got home to Farmington. So I had to go back to Kaysville and they charged me the $3.25 difference and I paid it. Even though I thought they should have changed it for free for my inconvenience. So I get the regular sized salads home and both the tortillas were hard and crusty around the entire outside. I don’t know why but they obviously gave me old dried out tortillas. Also both salads hardly had any lettuce. They were not out anything I paid the difference and I was not rude I never even asked for them without the charge. I guess I will go back to Cafe Rio.

Our food was delayed, but I wanted to leave this review to shoutout a young lady that was working there (I believe she had blonde hair?). Anyway, she had some excellent customer service and was very reassuring about our orders coming out. Thank you to her!

✨ Excellent Service at Costa Vida! ✨ I recently visited Costa Vida and had a wonderful experience. The employee Ray provided outstanding customer service—he was friendly, attentive, and very professional.
The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and Ray’s excellent service truly made my visit even better. It’s always refreshing to meet staff who genuinely care about their customers.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended! Thank you, Ray, for your amazing service!
