This place isn't my favorite Mexican but they do a consistent good job. This location was pretty packed but they got us in and out quick. They are attached to a fat cats bowling ally. Customer service was great, and the Friday green verde enchiladas were top notch! If you are near this location you can't beat the price for great food read more

Costa Vida - Fast Food Near Me - Payson, Utah

See all

Last week the soup was pretty good. Basically, they put various warm things, like meat, beans, rice, etc., in a bowl and add soup base. Tonight the base was cold, so the soup was luke-warm. Last week the tortilla was fresh, tonight it was fairly old and hard. The girls working on the line didn't seem to know what they were doing, maybe they don't make many soups. One girl had to tell the other what to do, and she didn't know much either. For example, she put the guac. deep in the bowl, so it looked like green slime in the bottom. They need better training and supervision. read more

Service was great, food was hot, but I had requested no cheese & the drive through cashier re-confirmed no cheese on my order and they still put cheese on the tacos. Now I'll have to take medicine just to eat my food because I discovered it when I already returned to work. $15 meal that I may pay for later :( double check your order before you leave! read more

I tried the keto avocado with sweet pork and it was very good. Our location in Arizona was closed so it was nice to eat here again. Mango salsa is also very good. Great service and it was quick. read more

Costa Vida - Keto avacado tacos - Fast Food Near Me - Payson, Utah

I usually love costa vida but I don't think I'll visit this location again. It was dirty, employees were rude. They were missing multiple ingredients to make a burrito. Some of the ingredients seemed stale. Overall poor experience. read more

You would have thought I ordered a vegetarian salad. I didn't. I ordered a sweet pork salad. They charge $10 and all I got was lettuce. Not what I ordered. Costa has really gone downhill read more

Yum! Fresh! Homemade! Delicious chips! I ordered a veggie taco, they do not too many requests for! He made my taco with fresh ingredients, they use handmade tortillas, you choose ingredients, then they cook it on the flat grill, crisping up the tortillas. I ordered rice, pinto beans, onions/peppers (highly recommend), after cooking, the top it with crispy romaine lettuce, more cheese & pico . It was served hot, delicious!!! I will be back. I included freshly made chips & guacamole. Yum! Worth the stop! read more

Out of all the Costa Vida locations I've been to, I can say this specific spot is the worst by far. First of all, we asked for pico and lettuce as we always do and we were really clear about it. But when we pulled up they aint even bother to add it. After complaining, they simply said we didn't ask for it. Now take a look at the bean and rice proportions! Extremely small and most of it is just sauce. After cutting the enchilada open we also found that there was barely any pork in there. Definitely won't be going back here!! Unbelievable read more

Costa Vida - enchilada "meal" - Fast Food Near Me - Payson, Utah

It's kind of similar to Cafe Rio, but they have gluten free options if you want that, and in general their food is pretty good. I would say everything on the menu I've had is 4-5 star material, but their salsa is a little sugary for me. read more

Disappointing. Normally it's not like this but the last two times I've came to this location the portions are so small. I didn't get more than 2 bites with meat in it. Pricing goes up amount of food provided goes down, sad. read more

Costa Vida - Hardly any food - Fast Food Near Me - Payson, Utah

The food is ok if you don't order at the drive through because they have never done our order right there. I like more lettuce on my meals and they don't seem to like to add that. I like the sweet pork best read more

ordered a sweet pork burrito, best costa vida location i've been too in AWHILE. tons of food, they loaded up my burrito. staff kept the line moving even tho it was busy. all we want is lots of meat when we order, and they understood the assignment. this place put the riverton and daybreak locations to absolute shame. read more

I was traveling south with my husband while hauling a large trailer and I called the Spanish Fork Costa Vida rather than the Payson Costa Vida and placed an order. When we arrived in Payson the gentleman (Jake) helping us couldn't find our order. He called Spanish Fork Costa Vida for us and asked if they had an order under my name (which they did) and then he asked them if they could cancel our order so he could remake it in Payson for us so that we wouldn't have to travel back north with our large trailer. I heard him say, "I understand but I am just trying to help out the customer." Spanish Fork didn't seem be helpful (which I realize it was our mistake) but Payson went above and beyond with their customer service to make sure that we were taken care of. Give Jake a raise! He was awesome! read more

Just paid just under $11 for a sweet pork burrito that didn't include any of the sides that I requested. What a bunch of crap if you're that busy you should get another job, because you can't wrap your thick skull around trying to get an order right. I will never return to this location because of this mistake. Bunch of BS. read more

Costa Vida - Dessert Menu - Fast Food Near Me - Payson, Utah

We normally love costa vida, but were pretty disappointed this time because they forgot to include the meat on both of our salads. My husband was especially disappointed because he recently had to start eating gluten free, so he couldn't get a regular flour tortilla and their was no meat. We were pretty bummed. read more

Called in an order for lunch today to pick up on my break, brought it back and there was a hair in mine (my daughters was fine) called and they refunded my salad. read more

What a delicious plate of nachos. I had the queso and shredded cheese on them with pork and it was delicious. Worker was very friendly and happy to help. 10/10 location. read more

Ok, I typically prefer to eat at this location over others because of the better customer service and food. But man, they really dropped the ball with this whole Curbside Pick Up stuff. Nobody came out to the curbside parking spot, where I was designated to park if ordering in the app. And when I went in after sitting in the parking spot for 10 min, the employee simply said "Well, if you don't see someone after a few minutes just come in." I thought the point of curbside pick up was to pick it up curbside and not have to go inside? If you're thinking about ordering curbside, don't. Just go through the drive-thru. read more

My parents live in santaquin and all 6 of us kids plus two spouses had to come into town for a funeral when our grandmother passed. This is a family of 10 people in mourning. We came to costa vida due to enjoying it in our home state and wanted to sit together. We moved tables together so that we could all sit together only to be told very rudely by an employee walking around that we have to move them back when we are done and that we shouldn't have moved them in the first place and not to do it again. There is no seating accommodation for large families and we can't move tables together??? In UTAH?! Im amazed but had we been told nicely, I'd have felt differently. I also got treated like I was a huge inconvenience when ordering due to asking for extra of certain ingredients (I'm pregnant, sorry?). Just not a great experience. read more

I've been at the Payson Costa Vida a couple of time & haven't had a good experience there until that one day I decided to give it a try again. Friday Valentines Day was very busy But when I got to the station where the salad was as I remember her name is Poucheka I told her what I wanted on my salad . What stood out to me the most was even though it was busy and customers were getting a little frustrated she had this bright smile on her face and kept A calm posture and just ask them how their day was. Because Poucheka I would definitely come again not only was she welcoming but it made me want to come back I love eating at Costa Vida my favorite place to eat specially if I have a Great experience as I did on Friday. Need more hard-working people like her. read more

I love costa it's one of my favorite places to eat but o paid extra for steak and every single piece of stake was red, not pink, RED! I am so angry never once have I had this problem but I am so angry. If I order a steak I want them cooked enough read more

Wow! I usually eat at Cafe Rio but I was in Payson so Costa Vida was the closest thing to it. I was impressed by the people at this location. The most friendly and welcoming team. The manager picked up that I was new to it and came and welcome me and helped go through their menu (didn't get his name). The food was a amazing. Jesus one of the managers went around asking if anyone need it anything. Another super friendly guy Mike picked up my plates and asked if I need more dressing. I honestly felt like I was at a 5 star restaurant. Best team ever read more

This place was violating public health orders! They did not enforce face coverings or social distancing for people standing in line or where the food is being prepped. People were dining-in above capacity. We were passing through town and wanted to grab some food to go, but we turned around and left right away because we did not feel safe. Shame on Costa Vida and on the customers for putting the community at risk. We are in a global pandemic, people!! Please do better. read more

I want to give a big shout out to Sadie in the Payson Costa Vida. I took my grandson there last Friday (June19). We went to get him some food in between his baseball games. Sadie was so personable! She started talking to him & asked him how his first game went. He told her they tied. She said You'll get the next game. As we pulled away he got into his sack. He had put a note in there that said "you got this", with a picture of a baseball. He was so elated! It made his day!!! I was so happy about this, what a great person Sadie is!!! I had told her I would be back to pick up some more orders. I came back after dropping him off. I thanked her & thanked her for being so awesome! She said, he seemed a little sad that they tied, so thought I would try to cheer him up. We all need more Sadie's in our lives! read more

My friends and I went the other night, I got a burrito and I asked for extra extra sauce and there was barely any sauce on it even though I was charged for it. While my other friend found a ladybug in her salad the same day. Very grossed out and disappointed! Love Pam read more

If your looking to customize anything at this Costa Vida I have bad news. They will get it wrong. I went to this Costa Vida 3 days out of my 7 for dinner. 1st attempt I asked for a sweet pork burrito black beans no rice and they gave me shredded chicken with black beans. 2nd attempt I asked for the same thing they gave me sweet pork with pinto beans. And finally I got black beans sweet pork and rice. If you want you order to be correct go to the Spanish fork Costa Vida. This one sucks. read more

My friends brought me a burrito from costa all the way to Ephraim, and the entire order was wrong. Never have been so disappointed in my life. Literally the entire order was wrong, and they almost forgot the salad my friend ordered. read more

I ordered curbside pickup because I didn't want to go in and I was sitting in the parking stall for 20 minutes about when finally worker came out and asked if I had a pick up. I checked my app to make sure that I didn't do in-store pick up instead of curbside but I did not my pick up was supposed to be for 715 I got there around 7:10 didn't come out until seven 20/25-ish. out of respect to the customers inside I turned off my headlights and they did not come out until I turned them back on I had the interior of my car on so they could see my running lights as well as my interior lights and they did not come out for that amount of time I am not pleased with this as I was expecting a quick five minute pick up instead it was 25 minutes would have been faster to go through the drive-through and or indoor I however did not want to because of COVID-19 read more

I asked for guacamole and they did not deliver. I went through the drive through so i was miles away before I discovered i did not have guac. Now what do I do?? read more

The food is always good here, but the service is what sets it apart. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu, specifically what is dairy free and what isn't. read more

Love this costa vida! They consistently get my order right, even when I go through the drive thru (which is pretty impressive since I usually do extra of some stuff, less of some, none of some, plus an extra tortilla on the side!) Always very friendly staff, clean environment, and the food is DELICIOUS. I prefer costa vida to Cafe rio for sure. read more

I love the sweet pork burrito smothered in the verde sauce and covered in cheese. It's a big burrito! I can buy one and share it with two kids!! Just for a new experience, I tried the raspberry chicken taco and it was very dry chicken. The sauce, it was so far out of place on that taco.... The flavors just didn't work together. I'm not sure if it was because the chicken was so over cooked or what, but it was terrible and I wouldn't try it again!! The service is a bit spotty. In tje late evening the employees aren't eager to help you and are somewhat seemingly annoyed they have a customer. Not a vibe to be getting from the people preparing your order... On the other hand, just after the lunch hour, I've been in there with my son and they treated us fantastic. As far as dessert goes, I'm not usually a fan of key lime pie, but my son ordered one and it was amazing. I highly recommend trying it, you're going to love it! read more

Love this place . Very hard to find a place that's works with gluten-free. This place goes beyond working with those with celiac disease. Love the food, very helpful employees, and great service. One of our favorite places to go. read more

We like to go here cause the quality is fairly consistent and it's close. Most of the time I get a grilled chicken salad or burrito. The food is pretty good and portions are great. The restaurant is clean, which is nice, and most of the time the staff is nice. On my most recent visit I got a burrito and the portion of beans was mostly water. When I showed them and asked for a new one they were a bit of a jerk about it. This, however, has been the only time I've had bad customer service. read more

Just went through the drive through and ordered a chicken salad with none of the tortilla chips and extra chicken. Get home, open up the bag and it is covered with the chips (I hate those on salads). Ok no big deal, I picked them all off poured on the dressing and start eating. No tortilla under the salad. WTF? Then start looking at it closer, no extra chicken added and about 2 teaspoons of rice and beans. Literally had to dig around the salad to even find any. Not worth the drive back and saying anything and have them spit in my salad when they remake it. I ate the little bit of chicken that was in there and tossed the rest in the garbage. This is not the first time my order has been messed up. It will be the last because I will not be going back. If I could give zero stars I would. Word of warning, don't deviate from the menu because the robots cannot handle anything off the standard protocol. read more

I love this place! The service is fast! The employees are friendly! The portions are big and they are generous with the meat. That is hard to find! The place is always spotless! The food is amazing! I think the best thing about this place is the customer service. They are friendly, prompt, and professional. They make you feel welcome and from start to finish. They seem to really like their job and are always happy to see a repeat customer! I love it! read more

We're from Huntington Beach, CA and love our Mexican food. For good good quick made to order food this can't be beat even in California. We are super pleased with everything here and will eat here the next time we are stopping in Payson. read more

we had the steak salad. the meat was well cooked and seasoned and the vegetables were fresh. Totally worth the trip!!!

Disappointed. Ordered the steak burrito. Asked for the hottest sauce. All I could taste was sugar and mango. I don't know what was in that sauce but it ruined the flavor of the steak. The rice is overdone, the beans were bland. I mean I know this isn't fine dining but I've had good Costa Vida and this is not one of them. They make the tortillas fresh but then slather so much sauce and cheese that the tortilla feels like slime. Who on earth thinks this is good? The steak had such a good yummy umami flavor and then it's buried and wrapped and smothered in under and around all this crap. Gross. read more
