    Chicken taco and cilantro lime rice
    Rachel D.

    Costa Vida makes their own tortillas, and they are the best. I also love the cilantro lime dressing. If you go on taco Tuesday, the tacos are $1.99. They have many options, great food, great staff, and great service.

    Salads. (Chicken)
    Emily A.

    Visited on 11/11/22. I cannot say enough good things about costa vida. Who needs chipotle when you have this place with fresh flavors, top notch ingredients, and absolutely amazing chicken? I choose the regular sized salad because it is gigantic and then I can have leftovers. This also comes with a homemade tortilla underneath the salad so it's almost more like a burrito bowl. I pair this with all the fixings it comes with, black beans, and the tomatillo ranch dressing to add a splash of flavor. I most often get my order to go (they have a walk through option similar to a chipotle but they also have a drive thru at this location), and at home I add a bit of hot sauce on top to give it a kick. Service is always incredibly professional and I find myself recommending this place to anyone in the south metro area. Check it out, this place is a must visit.

    Goodbye Chipotle, I have found my new burrito love. After Baja Sol closed it's doors for good, I was considering where my next south of the border dive would be? Chipotle is too commercialized and blah for me. I needed something with a little bit more jazz. Well, Costa is that jazz. First off, they give you a nice big menu to choose from. There house special is Sweet Pork, which is very good. Think pulled pork with a sweet mango glaze. What I love the most at this place is that they will smother your burrito (melted cheese and sauce added on top) for no extra charge, it is expected that you do. They have three sauces to choose from as well as a mix of salsas. I love their Mango Salso, fruity, mild, fresh...YUM. Their portion sizes are huge and yet pleasantly priced. You basically could make two meals out of a burrito but most of the time I cannot stop my mouth from inhaling the food and so get one meal out of it. And one last thing, don't skip the tortilla. They are house made and freshly served and are delicious. You do have the choice of getting a burrito bowl, but the serving size is halved for the same price. If you want the most bang for your buck, get the burrito, smothered, and serviced with salsa and lettuce on the side. Delish.

    Chicken baja bowl
    Brent M.

    I ordered the Baja Bowl with chicken and all the condiments that didn't cost extra. First, everything you get here seems to cost extra. In fact, this is the first time I have been asked for a tip at a zero service fast food restaurant (I pay 20% +/- usually at sit down restaurants for service). Second, the food was...shall we say bland? Just bland all around. My kids didn't even eat their chicken quesadillas they were so bland. Anyway, this is exactly the kind of chain food that gives the suburbs a bad rap. If you only like to eat food that tastes good, go elsewhere.

    Grilled chicken salad with small side of chips & queso

    A welcome addition to the Cobblestone area, I've tried Costa Vida a couple of times since their grand opening this summer. Pros: Freshly cooked proteins, very generous portion sizes, friendly staff, well sourced natural ingredients, and a broad selection of salsas and dressings Cons: Not enough to distinguish itself from other TexMex fast casual offerings in the area. I've had both the burrito and salad (which comes with a tortilla unless you request sans); as well as chips and queso. The consistency of the queso is similar to Chipotle's but tastes better! If you are in the area, Costa Vida is definitely worth checking out. Also, I love that they have a drive through.

    Pork Enchiladas
    John R.

    I've been to Costa Vida a couple of times now. Both times I've ordered the Sweet Pork Enchiladas. Both times it was pretty tasty. Its braised in cola which I knew going in and it still caught me a little by surprise. There are a ton of other options you can go with when it comes to the meat choices. Besides that, you can choose tacos, burritos, quesadillas and so on and on with every permutation of sauces and sides imaginable. You can literally come here for a number of days in a row and not even make a real dent in the menu. Its a tad bit spendy for those that might compare it to a Chipotle, except Chipotle doesn't have near the variety that they have here and it is more spendy. I have a few options for Mexican in the area that are closer to home so I don't get here as often as I might otherwise. Give them a try if you happen to be in the area.

    worth every calorie;)

    Recently, and I mean the past few months, the place has changed!! They skimp on everything except the lettuce!! Seriously? I also contacted them via Facebook to voice my concerns but they totally ignored me! I've been a loyal customer since they've opened but being ignored was the last straw to my loyalty! 3-4 times a week eating here is OVER!!!

The patio is super chill, and the cocktails are creative without trying too hard, tons of variety and some really fun flavor combos. Their late-night happy hour is a great deal, especially with food this good. We rolled in with a big group and ordered half the menu. The shrimp tacos were a standout, massive, perfectly-cooked shrimp with bold, punchy flavor. But the real showstopper was the flank steak chimichurri. Every single person at the table said they'd come back just for that. It was tender, juicy, perfectly seasoned, everything you want from a classic done right. Carne asada fries were super fun and flavorful, and the cod + pineapple fish tacos were fresh, bright, and balanced. Add in a killer tequila lineup and some seriously authentic flavors, and you've got one of the best modern Mexican spots in the area.

They have so many different, foods, drinks, pastries, deli items, it's definitely worth exploring before or after dinner! There is free parking but the lot is not very big. You may need to park in the street (also free). Upon walking in, we were greeted by several employees! We opted to sit out on the patio, since it was a gorgeous night! After 10 minutes no one had come to the table... 15 minutes... still no one. No water, drinks or their complimentary chips. They weren't overly busy, so this didn't make sense to us. At minute 20 I got up to talk to a manger. The waitress saw me go up to the front and tried to wave me down to say "I got you." I'm sorry but 20 minutes in a restaurant that isn't packed is ridiculous. At the very least she could have brought water and said she would be with us soon, but she never acknowledged we were there. I spoke with the manager and noted that it had been 20 minutes with no one coming to our table. I told him i understood she had other tables but that we just hadn't even been acknowledged. He said "she doesn't have that many tables! Let's go!" He took our order on the spot! He brought us complimentary guacamole and horchata with our chips! That was a very nice gesture! I assured him we weren't out for freebies, we just wanted to order our food. He was very friendly and definitely took care of us! Our food came out very quickly and we were checked on multiple times. He definitely turned what was a very negative experience around! The vibes here are really great! The patio was so nice! It was well maintained and clean! The food: I got the pulpo (octopus) tacos! They had a tropical and buttery flavor to them! I opted to take the picked onion off mine but I'm sure that's tasty as well! The chips had a nice crisp and saltiness to them and the salad was one of the best complimentary ones we have tried! My boyfriend had the chicken fajitas and noted they were tasty with a solid portion. The horchata here is also pretty solid! Overall, this place is worth the try! Tip: don't get the dessert at the restaurant, grab it to go from the bodega! It's about $4-$5 cheaper!

Felt like I got ripped off a bit, for the cost. I also really wish they would look into adding more menu options. We need queso here, I bet they could make an amazing queso. I also wish they had a salsa specifically for chips. Their sauces/salsas are great, but only on food. Not great with chips. Overall - still great. Go eat here. Service is slower than before. Prices have gone up. Wish they had queso and a salsa for chips specifically. Wish I got a full cup of rice when I order a side of rice, considering how expensive the rice is.

I got fajitas and of course dumped queso all over them because that's the correct life choice. The tortillas were hot and fresh, the meat quality was really good, and everything tasted super solid. Only thing is the fajitas didn't come out sizzling like they do at some places, but honestly I think half of that is just restaurant theatrics anyway. Food still tasted great. I completely forgot to take pictures of everyone else's food because we were all hungry, but my nephew absolutely inhaled his chimichanga, so I'm taking that as a glowing review from him too. Overall it feels a little different from a lot of Mexican restaurants in a good way and I'd definitely go back. Decor is fine its decorated as you expect maybe less random.

The interior of the space is lively, with an open kitchen, bar area, and small dining room! Great vibe without the gimmicky American Mexican restaurant decor and feel!

By the time we actually got seated, it took a long time for a server to arrive. I get that it was busy, but for a small dining room, you'd expect a check-in from a server within 5-10 minutes of sitting down, which was not the case. Of note, they charge for chips and salsa...so if you're expecting that complimentary, you'll have to go elsewhere. We ordered the Mexican Flag (queso, guac, and salsa) which was great!!
