I gave this place a shot and was impressed. It’s kind of a Socal goes to Nevada vibe in here. Typical counter service, but it has a wide selection of toppings and add ons. The staff is very friendly.
The only place I would improve is the weird kind of signs they have posted all over.
And the food is quite good. The dining room is expansive, and they have a room where all the windows can slide open, but the windows close in the winter. Decor is bright and colorful.

I loved the freshness of the ingredients and the concept of putting together your own Mexican tacos, enchiladas and salad bowls like Subway sandwiches. My only regret is that they don't serve fresh corn tortillas (or beer!). Their homemade flour tortillas however are delicious.
You can never go wrong with a burrito from Costa Vida. Such a variety of flavors to choose from. If your in the mood for zesty, they got it. Spicy, bam you got it. If you've never had it. Go try it.
Quality and freshness of the food is fantastic. All the ingredients taste fresh and the portion sizes are more than satisfying. We got chips and guac, which were both very tasty and the shrimp enchiladas which were fantastic. I dropped one star because the service wasn’t very friendly or helpful and the system of ordering/paying for food was not smooth at all. We ordered them and were given no guidance on what happened after that because some of the other food works in the typical line service format where you build it and pay right away. We went and stood to pay and waited there for a very long time while other people paid before us. So I think because of the variety of food they offer and differing cook times it creates kinks in the system. The woman we ordered from was also not very friendly and we could barely hear anything she was saying. But again, very great and fresh food.

Super friendly staff. Sweet pork was awesome as always. The vegetables were a bit past freshness. Restaurant was clean.
My experience here has always been great food and good service. They use all natural and fresh ingredients in their food, and you ca really taste the difference! The chips and guacamole is a great value and the guacamole is definitely fresh. We got some shrimp enchiladas and agreed they were also very fresh. One thing that bothers me is I feel uncomfortable throughout the ordering process. It’s like there is something missing, you’re not sure what you’re waiting for, what the next step is, if this works like a chipotle or not?! They might consider something like simple directions on how this place works, just a thought.
