Costa Vida

Very similar to Chipotle. Only a little less... Fresh. Also, the employees had a hard time understanding English which made it a little difficult to explain exactly what I wanted but it was still really good food. Atmosphere was okay and the location was great! Fast service was nice. I would definitely go here again.

Costa Vida is direct competition for Chipotle in my opinion. I would give Costa Vida a slight edge in quality. DO NOT expect Mexican food. It is NOT a Mexican food restaurant. It is inspired by Mexican food. Daily specials are well priced and large. Like Chipotle, it is really hard to know what is included with your burrito, bowl or meal. You have to ask. The restaurant is clean but gets really busy and noisy during lunch and dinner.

This is one of the better counter serve burrito joints around. Their menu has more variety than a lot of other similar restaurants and their food is consistently good. They make their tortillas fresh in front of you which is pretty neat. I also recommend getting your burrito smothered in one of their sauces. Prices are a little higher than some other similar restaurants but the food and location make it worth it.
