Costa Vida - Apple Valley

Horrible customer service. Employees more interested in have fun than actually doing their job. Waited for 30 minutes for online order while there were no customers in the store! They were turning away customers 30 minutes before closing. Staff was rude and sarcastic. Avoid this place at all costs!

Visited on 11/11/22. I cannot say enough good things about costa vida. Who needs chipotle when you have this place with fresh flavors, top notch ingredients, and absolutely amazing chicken? I choose the regular sized salad because it is gigantic and then I can have leftovers. This also comes with a homemade tortilla underneath the salad so it's almost more like a burrito bowl. I pair this with all the fixings it comes with, black beans, and the tomatillo ranch dressing to add a splash of flavor. I most often get my order to go (they have a walk through option similar to a chipotle but they also have a drive thru at this location), and at home I add a bit of hot sauce on top to give it a kick. Service is always incredibly professional and I find myself recommending this place to anyone in the south metro area. Check it out, this place is a must visit.

Beware of Drive Thru! They do not pay attention to your requests and since you can't watch you don't know what you actually get. Had to say several times wanted chicken tacos with only cheese. (For my kid) I mistakenly thought they only put what you asked for on your nachos. When I was paying I heard someone ask if I wanted everything on my nachos from the drive thru window. I brought this up right then as paying saying I did not want everything and was told not to worry and was completely blown off. I also said I do not want a bunch of stuff on them and want to make sure. It didn't help get my order right. Some people may have loved them covered in tomatoes, onions, cilantro, sour cream and a ton of quac. But I don't. After a very long day this was such a disappointment. I HATE GUACAMOLE AND TOMATOES. I'm hangry right now. I need a beer, a nap, and a good therapist. No point crying over nasty soggy nachos but beware if ya want something a certain way to make ya feel better after a bad day.... skip the drive thru...

ZERO STARS! Cinco De Mayo with friends, they didn't send over half our order. Tried calling, phone doesn't work there. What the hell?? As usual we are expected to be patient, paying more than ever for services and getting crap service/experience. Will never return

I ordered the Baja Bowl with chicken and all the condiments that didn't cost extra. First, everything you get here seems to cost extra. In fact, this is the first time I have been asked for a tip at a zero service fast food restaurant (I pay 20% usually at sit down restaurants for service). Second, the food was...shall we say bland? Just bland all around. My kids didn't even eat their chicken quesadillas they were so bland. Anyway, this is exactly the kind of chain food that gives the suburbs a bad rap. If you only like to eat food that tastes good, go elsewhere.
