Most welcome addition to food stops on I-15 Southern Utah. I have been traveling this road for 20+ years and the last couple with this Costa Vida have been much better. The food is good! The service is usually good and while the tables sometimes are clean and sometimes not, if you saw the number of customers they serve each time I stop I can understand them getting behind at some times. I just ask to get it cleaned and they do it promptly while making the long line wait. Thus is a winner in my book and the short wait for a clean table is much shorter than the drive to a bigger town. If you are Hungary and gonna stop in Filmore thus is a great place to eat. read more

Wonderful fresh TexMex similar to Cafe Rio. Fast service. Combined in the same building as Conoco gas and Burger King. read more

Costa Vida - Mexican Near Me - Fillmore, Utah

See all

We stop at this costa Vida roughly twice a month for lunch on our drive from Ogden to St. George. The food is generally decent but has disappointed on occasion. The poor review comes from the terrible service and their inability to open on time. Today we stopped at 11:25 (25 minutes after they should have opened) and waited at the drive through for 10 minutes. With no response or acknowledgment we drove to the window assuming the speaker was broken, no biggie. We were ignored for another 5 minutes at the drive through window while the employees inside did their best to hide and out right ignored us. Finally an employee told us to just come inside (the lobby is closed or we would have done that from the get go.) When we walked in there was no one to be found and we had to wait another couple minutes before the manager came out and rudely informed us that they would not be open for another ten minutes. It's about 11:45 at this point, meaning this manager was apparently happy to open an hour late. The manager offered nothing even resembling an apology. She told us it wasn't her fault and went back behind the counter. Needless to say we left and won't be returning. Terrible service and atrocious managment. read more

This costa Vida was the best costa Vida I've ever been to. In. My. Life. The employees were overwhelmed by the number of people who were there on a Sunday afternoon, and they functioned like a well oiled machine. The food was amazing and the service was phenomenal. I'm definitely going to stop on my way back through! read more

Dislike this place. Food was just edible and really expensive. Will not come here again.

Horrible food. Out of shrimp tacos for the third time in a row. Out of beef today. Mangos we're slimey and refried beans were ruuuuuny! Disgusting! read more

Today on our way up north we stopped at the Costa Vida in Fillmore. My husband and I each ordered small salads. Mine had grilled chicken and his had steak. I have eaten at many Costa Vida's, Cafe Rio's and Durango's and I have a never had such a skimpy salad as I did today. My husbands was the same way. We each got about 6 pieces of thinly sliced meat a small scoop of rice and the lettuce barely covered the bottom of the container. After we got in the car we noticed on the receipt that they charged us $2.49 extra because my husband had steak. He didn't get enough meat if the price had been the same as the chicken but to add $2.49 to the price was ridiculous. We were both still hungry when we finished eating. Most bites were lettuce and rice (I asked for no beans) and maybe 6 or 7 bites had any meat. Last week I went to Costa Vida in Salt Lake on Foothill drive and it was one of the best salads I'd had in a long time. I was stuffed when I finished. How can they be so different when it's the same restaurant? If I'm paying the full price for a meal I expect to receive a full meal for the price! So disappointed! read more

What a surprise to find this alternative to fast food right off the freeway. Freshly made made homemade tortillas, fresh grilled meat, excellent daily specials. Great option to fast food when on a road trip. Fast, fresh and delicious!!!! Yum !!! read more

An unexpected find in Fillmore Utah. Ordered a gluten free raspberry chipotle chicken salad, it was delicious. They offered to change their gloves when I mentioned gluten free. read more

I'm living in Scipio, the more than tiny next town over, and coming from California I was dying for Mexican.This was my closest choice and I regret it dearly. The service was quick and the people were kind, but for the price the portions were skimpy and the flavor was bland. Grab a burger next door at Larry's. read more

The food is good, but in my sweet pork salad they didn't give me any pork, when I asked if they had more, they said no, then after my wife and I ordered, they brought out more for the next customers! Really disappointed read more

Food was okay, the service here is always horrible, the tables were ALL dirty, not a single clean table. It was just an all around bad experience and usually is. I only keep coming back cause it's the only place I feel like while driving through. read more

Tried the sweet shrimp tacos and they were delicious. Especially liked the sweet mango sauce on top. Service was excellent and food was great. read more

Didnt have chicken or steak at prime time dinner time. Employees were on their phone during this time of meat famine instead of making more. They also added extra stuff to my burrito that costed extra without asking. Get with it people. Manager was no where to be found either. read more

Went through the drive thru and ordered a shrimp salad. Can't order one at other locations (St. George and Hurricane Utah) and was surprised when order was confirmed. A little bit of a wait, but expected when ordering shrimp. read more

Costa Vida - Mexican Near Me - Fillmore, Utah

I thought the sweet pork was delicious, and the woman preparing our food was very helpful and kind. I would come back (if I'm ever in Fillmore again). read more

I go into this food establishment that I have enjoyed food from before. I was in the mood for my normal steak salad with double meat when I walked in. And of course what happens when I first arrived I need to pee. As I am doing so a Costa Vida employee comes in and uses the urinal next to me. As I am drying my hands he walks out without washing and heads right back to work. Needless to say I did not purchase any food there nor will I be planning on ever going back. read more

First time eating here but its the first time that i sweat while eating at a restaurant. Something should be done about it, we were uncomfortable while we were here. I don't think i would recommend this place if it stays in this condition. Even the manager looks like she is over heating but she still works in this condition. read more

Arrived when it was super busy dinner traffic during spring break week. Service was great and fast. Food was fresh and plentiful. I was really impressed. The mango chicken salad is delicious. This is the only decent place to eat off the highway for miles. We made the mistake of stopping at a subway in Holden previously and they were ill equipped for travelers (ran out of ingredients, understaffed, yucky lettuce). This Costa Vida is in a gas station store with Burger King on the other side. Half our party got Burger King, we grabbed drinks from the gas station, staff was friendly, a lady offered us mints and grabbed a crown for my kid, plenty of parking for all customers. Wish my local costa vida was as awesome as this one is. read more

Had heard from Celiac friends that this place has a great gluten free menu. I was not disappointed. When I mentioned gluten free the gentleman taking my order covered the flour tortillas, wash his hands, put on clean gloves and got my corn tortilla, that was cooked on a clean grill before the flour, from a sealed container. He then advised the rest of the staff it was gluten free and any one else who handled my order washed their hands and put on new gloves. The staff was friendly, the food was delish, and their understanding of celiacs was most awesome! read more

Disappointed. We experienced terrible service. Lots of confused employees. Cold & uncooked food in a hot restaurant. Won't be back again. Travelers beware. read more

Unexpectedly good food on the road. Tortillas are made on the spot. Very fresh tasting food!

Got food poisoning, cost me 2 days at work it was so bad. I still can't eat fresh mex of any kind and that was about a year ago.

Seriously, either the manager was gone, or you need a new one. The employees had no idea what to do. Our food sat for 5 minutes and almost fell off of the over because no one was paying attention. No one knew how prices worked. It was almost embarrassing. These workers need some better training. read more

Lorena was very kind, Great service Food was very fresh and delisious. The mango sauce was the best i ever had. Go here it is awesome read more

As other reviews have reported the service is Extremely slow. Waited 20 minutes to order, then 10 more minutes to the cash register. The food was consistent with a number of other Costa Vida locations I've visited. Except the dressing -- not up to par. read more

Very unprofessional. One of the workers basically yelled at my wife for asking for a topping.

The food was good....kinda like a version of chipotle without the seasoning....I gave it only 3 stars because when I tried to order steak they said they didn't have any on the grill...so I asked how long will it take.....they said they weren't making any I had to choose chicken or pork....basically told me you will eat chicken and like it lady....lol didn't really say that but it felt that way. read more

First of all one needs to realize that a four star review in a fast food Mexican restaurant is not comparable to a four star review and high-end steakhouse. As far as fresh Mexican food this is very good and has to be at the top of the list. The chain seems very similar to that of Café Rio or Baja fresh. This is was excellent the service was fantastic. My wife has celiac's disease and is gluten intolerant. The gentleman taking our order ask some questions and determined that we were looking for a gluten-free meal. He then promptly removed his gloves and washed his hands and arms and returned with a fresh set of gloves on. He then opened a container that was sealed and had corn tortillas in it that have been people prepared prior to cooking any flour tortillas. He took extra care to not cross contaminate with other services that may contain gluten. He also advised the rest of the staff who promptly changed their gloves to accommodate the gluten intolerance. They were very cordial about it unlike many restaurants can get kind of feisty about preparing a gluten-free meal. The reality of it is this restaurant apparently has been well trained on gluten intolerance. We had burritos and enchiladas and they were fantastic. The guacamole was good and the chips were pleasantly fresh. It's not often then I can give fast food anything four stars but I'm more than willing to give this place four stars. Certainly one has to understand that this is a gringo fast food Mexican restaurant you cannot compare this to old town Mexico in San Diego. For one they don't serve any margaritas dammit!! I feel good about giving them I Marx at nice place to stop between Salt Lake City and St. George. Besides if they did serve margaritas she would have to gather up somebody designated driver ;) read more

We just went here right when they opened at 11. Got grilled chicken salad and burrito. It was 10 out of 10. The chicken was moist and delicious. I ate more than expected because it was just so yummy. read more

First, let me say that I have at Costa Vida in Cedar city a few different times and it has always been good. I ordered the same thing I always get, chili verde burrito, and it was horrible. I literally got three pieces of meat inside of my burrito and on the outside of the smothering sauce. I agree with the other reviewer that said it said it looks like they're watering the sauce down. I was starving when I went in there, but when I got my food back to my hotel I only ate 4 bites and decided it was better to go to bed hungry than eat that horrible food. The service was terrible and the restaurant didn't look very clean. read more

Food was pretty good, they were out of some product ( mango salsa) for my tacos. Service very mediocre staff had an I don't give a crap attitude. Always a negative in my book. read more

Horrible service, at least 3 of the employees were rude when taking my order and making the food. They were slow and seemed put out to have to serve customers. The salad dressing tasted watered down compared to other costa vidas. I had to ask for one of the items I'd ordered 3 different times with 3 different employees. read more

They may be understaffed but other than that I was very happy. They filled the tacos with a lot more sweet pork than I am used to from other locations, same with the rice. Everything tasted great. read more

The food was just as good as any other Costa Vida, but they over charged for a la carte tacos by close to $2.00. Basically, they charge you for the meal even if you don't get the sides. When I confronted the manager about it, he just said that they need to get that fixed but didn't offer a refund or any other explanation. Gee, thanks. read more

really enjoyed sitting on patio and the grilled chicken salad. very cute place inside and very good service. we will definitely stop in again read more

Never again!!! Only 2 employees out front at 5 pm, out of wheat tortillas , ordered sweet pork salad, asked for just a little bit of black beans, even did hand motion but he put an entire large spoonful on the rice. I told him "that is not a little" he just shrugged his shoulders & said sorry., then asked what meat. I again said sweet pork, he now says "we're out of pork". My husbands salad was already made so I just got nothing. When I paid I was asked if I needed anything else, I said that I wanted a pork salad, but you are out, she just said sorry, no one ever told me that they were making more or how long it would be to wait for the pork. The poor lady in front of me had waited on something for a while & I heard her say " how much longer? The kid went to the back & came back & said 5 minutes, she said forget it & then when she tried to pay they told her they couldn't taker her $50. She had to go to the gas station next door to get change. Totally ridiculous!!! These employees obviously have had no training in customer service! read more
