Me, my wife and son had a really late lunch. Food was perfect! Son and wife had bowls, both made perfect. They gave my son a small free dessert thing, he loved it. My burrito was made perfectly!Washrooms were clean.Decent parking.Clean inside.
The food here is sooo good. This is a "build you're out meal" type place where you chose the basic dish and pick the roppings/fillings. Every component is well made and a good recipe. Both people who are fond of spicy and those who aren't will love the food. Communication is a little slow with some cashiers I've had, but not frustrating by any means. The atmosphere is fun and inviting. This is a place you simply must try.
Door Dash would not publish my review so I will leave it here for you: Used to be really good but has gone downhill. Last order I received almost ice cold soup despite the dasher delivering within 12 minutes of pickup. Received 1 taco instead of 2 (like the picture shows) for almost $10 - I may as well go to Mexico for these prices. Portions have gone quite small compared to before - went from being comedically huge to embarrassingly small. After over a year of ordering from Door Dash on almost a daily basis, sometimes twice a day, and paying for a monthly Dash Pass I am now cancelling both and no longer using their service or ordering from your restaurant. I can't support businesses that don't allow honest reviews - it defeats the system they setup to ensure quality and to keep people honest.
I've ordered from here about 4 times in the last couple of weeks and it gets better every single time. Their portion sizes are pretty big, definitely enough for splitting lunch and dinner, so the prices are on the more reasonable end of high.
I'm a little leery of Mexican food being too spicy for my poor stomach, but the sweet pulled pork burrito I had was perfection with a slight bit of a kick but nothing overpowering. To watch it being put together with the rice, refried beans, sauce, etc was great. Truly a tasty treat... one thing I should warn you... the burrito was huge so big in fact that even though I had it for lunch I was still feeling full at supper time. Not bad for $15 if I do say so!!
Fast food Canadian version of California Mexican food. Smaller portions. She spent a lot of time making sure the spoon was never heaped. The spicy hot sauce is not spicy at all. Other than that is it filling. Why do they have an option to tip? It's counter service fast food.
We were told about Costa Vida by some friends (that lived in Texas for a long time) about two years ago and it took us this long to get there. I wish we would have gone two years ago, it's amazing. This is my new go to Mexican place. It's as close to real Tex-mex I have had here in Calgary. Great flavors, with fresh ingredients. If you have kids go on a Monday as kids eat free (kids meal) with the purchase of one adult meal. Also get the Costa Vida app as you gain points quickly, which translates to free meals. Some people maybe thrown off by the restaurant style, but it's exact set up of most of my favourite places in Texas. So it's a cafeteria style system, walk up to the prep area, order your food and go down the line of toppings and ingredients that they add for you. While it might remind you of a sub shop, once you take the first bite, you will thank yourself for the experience, well at least I did.. I get the beef burrito everything I go, I really want to try something else, but fear it will not be as good, though everything looks really good. I find myself wanting to go every Monday.
I tried this place at my last job where we would order skip the dishes on Fridays. I've spent the last 2 months raving about the food to my boyfriend whenever he craved Mucho Burrito and trying to explain how much better it is. Glad to say that he is VERY impressed. Thank you so much!
Food was ok, was expecting more food for the price. Seems ridiculous to me that you have to pay extra to get chicken, pulled beef, or pretty much any other meat than pork in the Baja bowl. The amount of meat in the bowl was tiny. I feel like this restaurant could be good, but as it sits only earns a 3*. A little disappointing based on other reviews I read.
I was not expecting much. Holy did I under estimate this place. The pork was sweet, the pico sauce was flavourful and salad was amazing!
