Raspberry Chicken Taco, Shrimp Quesadilla, Pork Enchilada, Cheese & Salsa with chips.
Denise Y.

We are preferencing our rating and review with 'the jury is still out'. If you've ever wanted to be able to customize your Mexican meal then this is the place the you! They have all the standard Mexican meal choices, but that's where comparison ends. Like Chipotle, you get in line to place your order. Let them know what your item of choice - enchilada, quesadilla, taco, burrito, etc. Then pick your protein of choice (and there are lots of choices) and sauce (3 or 4 choices if we recall correctly) and they assemble and put through the oven or quick grill your items. Next you pick your toppings and let them know if want beans & rice for an entree or ala cart. No skimping We didn't realize how much we like more traditional Mexican restaurant fare so this is where our 'jury is still out' for us. The place was interesting, plenty of customers coming & going over the lunch hour. The staff and owner are very nice & accommodating and a nice touch with families with babies/toddlers they have what you need in the bathroom. They look to have a good patio for a good weather day. I hope you are like us and look at several reviews to determine if a place is for you. If we were ever in the area again, we might try again but with a different order. We wish them all the best.

Sweet pork and a chicken taco, Black beans and cilantro rice.
Tim H.

I've been here a handful of times and have never been disappointed. Food is great, the vibe unique and is in one of the OG strips of the aging part of Lee's Summit. If I go for cheaper lunch, I usually just get the chicken tortilla soup, which is good but I don't recommend the cheese as it gets to stringy, changes the texture and makes it harder to eat without making a mess. If I go in for an entrée, I get the sweet pork tacos or burrito, black beans, cilantro rice and a cinnamon sugar tortilla for dessert. It's always clean and the staff is friendly and accommodating.

Fun small chipotle style restaurant with plenty of seating space even on busy lunch hour. A special every day, Tuesday was sweet pork tacos. I had a custom bowl with less rice beans & all the extras. Decent food & unique flavor chips & queso. Better by a bit than 4.5 so I give a 5 today, feeling generous. You might just like it, give it a try. Your food will be fresh & hot.

My completely smothered sweet pork burrito
Cat B.

Costa Vida is SOOO underrated! Their sweet pork is amazing and the amount of delicious sauces they have is the absolute best! If you like Chipotle at all you'll LOVE Costa Vida! Service is always great and burritos are made fast. Sometimes I still get crazy looks when I keep adding more and more sauce but I love that I can basically drown my burrito in deliciousness and have enough food for at least two whole meals! My kids love their quesadillas and my husband loves their nachos if a burrito isn't your thing. I hope some day soon there's a Costa Vida even closer to me!

See all
