The food was good and the smoothies are good. It's like any other Costa Vida, but the service is a bit slow and sometimes they seem unhappy to work with you. The ambience is OK just like any other Costa Vida. read more

Costa Vida - Mexican Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Had been wanting to try this place for a long time. Counter people were friendly and very helpful-even let us taste a couple sauces. I had a bowl with rice, outstanding grilled chicken and pinto beans with lettuce. Added sour cream, cheese, jalapeños, and green chili salsa and red enchilada sauce. Great portion and only thing I wish they had is some sort of Roja salsa. Definitely be back. read more

My wife and I came here on a busy friday night. The line moved moderately slow but the employees were super kind and helpful with the orders! I thought overall my dish, the enchiladas, were okay. The corn, beans, and other toppings I had really helped the overall dish! I think the experience overall was good and if it wasn't so busy, I'd try it again! read more

Costa Vida - Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Costa Vida is like if Chipotle and Café Rio had a baby--only better. The tortillas are made fresh right in front of you, if you're a tortilla lover, this is your spot. Mom & I both ordered steak salad, the steak was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Every sauce we tried was ridiculously tasty and totally over the top in the best way. The place is clean, bright, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. So glad we randomly stumbled on this gem--definitely coming back! read more

Love this place! Service is about as expected, but it earns its five stars from its amazing food! Highly recommend the quesadillas and raspberry chipotle chicken. read more

I mean...it's okay. Everything pretty much tastes the same and I wouldn't come here if I didn't live in the nearby neighborhood . So what I'm saying is ...don't drive over 15 minutes for this place . The service is fine, but it tastes fairly commercial to me read more

Super tasty, fast casual, drive thru with friendly staff members, and I can't wait to return. The chips and gauc are fantastic!

Costa Vida is a great spot for a quick lunch. Ordering is a breeze through the app and staff always makes orders promptly if you aren't one to order ahead on the app. Everything at Costa Vida is made fresh in house. The portions are generous! I often order the small nachos and it is the perfect amount for me. The inside is a decent size and the staff does a good job of keeping it clean. There is also a drive thru option. Costa Vida is a good choice for a healthier quick bite in the area, and I'll for sure be back in the near future. Still need to try the tacos! read more

The food here is so good & fresh! If you are thinking it's another "Chipotle" look alike you are mistaken! Amazing food!!

DO NOT COME HERE! Lately customer service has been horrific, especially by a certain rude employee. I recently came with my grand daughter and while waiting in line there was a blonde employee...believed to have seen the name Haley was cursing and shouting at another employee before taking my order. That was extremely unprofessional behavior to have my granddaughter witness, her, degrading her coworkers in a family oriented food place. When it was my turn to order she lashed out with a extremely rude attitude. read more

Amazing service and food. Employees are hard working and do whatever they can to make your order and food perfect. Clean dining area and short wait times for fresh food made when ordered Highly recommend. read more

I work very close to this location so like to stop after work to grab dinner once in a while. Today I stopped in for a kids quesadilla meal & some chips and queso. The meal comes with a quesadilla (or taco or enchilada if I remember right), rice, beans, a kids drink & a cinnamon tortilla for dessert. I highly recommend the sweet pork! I get it MOST of the time I go. Their queso is great too. It has a little bit of a kick, so maybe skip it if you're sensitive to spice. They have horchata too! The people working are always friendly and service is pretty quick too. The restaurant is always clean but I usually take it to go so I can relax at home while I eat. If you are a dessert lover like me, they have a few options. I recommend the tres leches. They do have a rewards app and sometimes have some deals when you order through the app. And kids eat free on Monday with the purchase of a regular entree and drink. read more

Costa Vida - Kids Quesadilla Chips & Queso - Mexican Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

We found this place by accident as we were looking for a quick place to grab food while we were headed out of town. We have been enjoying the new shopping and restaurant options on 159th's new development area. The drive thru goes behind the building. We ordered 3 different options of tacos each and some guacamole and chips and was highly impressed with the quality, freshness and taste in all the flavor options. (Carnitas, chicken, steak) My favorite is the carnitas and the guacamole was super good. We will definitely be back!! read more

Falling victim of inflation and labor issues, the food has gone downhill. Sad, it was a top 3 fast food chain for me pre-covid. Doubt I'll be back anytime soon. read more

Loved Cafe Rio and was hoping it was a good substitution in KS. Definitely still prefer cafe Rio but for what it is, Costa Vida was pretty good. Ranks higher than Chipotle IMO. Competent employees, very clean, and similar "feel" and menu to Cafe Rio. read more

We love Costa Vida! This location did not disappoint! They have delicious sweet pork that makes everything taste great. We love the nachos and the tacos. This is the best place to get tacos, they cook the cheese onto the tortilla making them taste amazing. Very kid friendly too, there's lots of free diapers in the bathroom just in case you may need one which I thought was neat. Fast service too. Excited for our next visit! read more

Costa Vida - Sweet pork Tacos & sweet pork Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

I passed by this place about a week ago, but I had already ate so there was no need to stop! so, Sunday,I was in overland park and it wasn't far from the location so I went because I really wanted to try and I like Mexican food. The place was clean and I was greeted upon entry! I seen the advertisement for "SWEET PORK", and I have never heard of such a thing. I ordered a "sweet pork burrito", with black beans, lemon rice, vegetables, Queso on top, and cilantro.. The food smelled so good and when I took my first bite I was in Love with sweet pork!! The burrito was sooo good and I'm glad a took a chance on the sweet pork! I will definitely go back and try something else on the menu, but order sweet pork to take home! the price was right! the flavor was excellent! one of the managers talked with me about the history of the place and told me that all ingredients are made in house in the morning. all the tortilla shells are made by a lady in the morning; awesome and good! I will be back and would recommend this restaurant! read more

My daughter loves the queso and requests it often! The sweet pork quesadillas are delicious

Positive experience here. Food is really good for "fast" food. The service is solid and friendly. I will definitely return.

I have eaten at several places like this, on the west coast. It's good quick food that you can order in options that allow you to keep a healthy diet. The place is clean, the service is fast, and there is plenty of seating. read more

My wife and I pulled into the drive thru @7:58 on a Sunday in which it closes @8:00. On top of closing early, we went to drive off and there was a car at the window so we couldn't get by, so we had to back all the way around the entire strip mall building to get out!!! The money from our order could have paid an entire hours worth of staff payroll. This is not the first time we have came and they have closed early. I get it people want to get home, but when I was a restaurant manager we always served until 5 min after we closed. Not only have you missed out on tonight's business, I will probably choose something else in the future. read more

For my first time ever being here this is some of the best Mexican food I've had. I wouldnt call this fast food only reason it's called fast food is because how fast the service is. Every ingredien is fresh and everything is cooked perfectly. Definitly recommend going here read more

I'm obsessed with costa vida. I LOVE the lime dressing. I usually hate cilantro but I could drink the dressing. !! The tortillas are fresh , the food is fresh. Please try !!! read more

Terrible experience today from start to finish. One employee mask under nose Customer in line next to me no mask at all I asked the employees why he was allowed to Stand in line with no mask at all. Their response was "you can call our corporate." You bet I will! Also, Since they have no meat substitutes for a vegetarian they up charged us over $3 for guac and veggies . Qdoba & Chipotle both offer sofritas and/or impossible meats. They also do not charge for guac when no meat is ordered. We had previously been very happy with this place but this was all just disgusting. The employees were very rude today and extremely irresponsible not to enforce the mask mandate. read more

Costa Vida - Man allowed to stand in line with other customers and order no mask. No employee asked him to put one on. - Mexican Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Great experience! The food was made fresh to order. The three of us each had our own burrito-specifically shrimp, shredded beef and grilled chicken. Each entree was made separately with a wide variety of fresh condiments of our choosing. Although everything was delicious, We especially enjoyed the fresh mango salsa! In addition, it was so nice to walk away feeling like you received a proportionate amount for the price. To to it off, we experienced excellent customer service throughout! I am so glad Costa Vida landed in Overland Park. We look forward to many more happy dining experiences. read more

I have to start with a disclaimer... I spent the first 40 years of my life living in Texas, so to offer a review on "fresh-mex" is admittedly incongruous, y'all. ;-) However-- today I made my fourth visit to the new Costa Vida near my office. I've tried several different items from the menu and have enjoyed them all. Now don't hear me wrong: the food here doesn't "speak the language of my heart", but the language it speaks is enjoyable to the palate. It is consistently tasty and the folks on the serving line are friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable and the drink fountain has a great selection of Coca Cola products. Bottom line: I'd never choose this if I were jonesing for actual Mexican food, but I also wouldn't hesitate to eat here whenever my work friends want to go. read more

Costa Vida - the front entrance of a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

This is the best counter service restaurant in the area. Great customer service as well!

I had a sweet pork burrito ($8.49) built for me Chipotle-style at the counter. The burrito was rather substantial, and I liked that fresh shredded cheese was quickly melted in a pass-through oven to create the melted cheese topping, but I'm not sure I can adjust to a sweet (caramel) tasting burrito. Tacos, nachos, quesadillas, enchiladas, etc were also available. The menu features coastal Mexican cuisine with fresh, warm tortillas, and unique options like sweet pork, raspberry chicken, mahi mahi, and shrimp. The opening day service was fast and friendly, while the dining area was clean with background music. The daily specials keep the price reasonable. Next time I'll go with a more traditional meat. Overall, very nice. read more

Maybe it's been a while since over been there, but Costa Vida was even more delicious than I remember. The Pork salad was sweet, a little savory and fresh. The tortilla wasn't quite as good as I remember, but everything else lived up to my expectations. And to top it all off they have diet Dr. Pepper!!! read more

By far the best "Chipotle-style" place hands-down. The restaurant itself boasts a bright and cheery aestetic, filled with bold, fun colors and a gorgeous colored water piece. The staff are immensely respectful and helpful, and the ambiance radiates joy. Somehow all of these features manage to pale in comparison to the food, which is unreasonably tasty. The tortillas are made to order at the front of the line, the ingredients are always fresh, and the sauces are incomparably flavorful and complementary to the delicious mixture composing every burrito or bowl. 9/12/19: Got the favorite: raspberry chicken burrito with black beans and cilantro lime rice, coupled with sides of lettuce, pico, sour cream, and jalapeños. Delicious! :) read more

I've never been disappointed! The tortillas are the best. The staff is always courteous and prompt. Very clean interior!

I just tried Costa Vida for the first time ever! It was so yummy & they had way more options then I expected. There isn't one near where I live (closest one is about an hour away) so I always have Chipotle, it's very similar but you have WAY more options here. They also have an option to warm up your burrito half way through making it so the cheese can melt, you can have cheese inside & on the top. It has a very nice beach vibe to it & it was very clean. The staff was also very helpful (they didn't even know it was my first time here) & they were being very kind & patient. 100% recommend trying it even if it's a little bit of a drive, I'm definitely coming back! read more
