Brand history

The history of this restaurant starts back in the 2000s with JD and Sarah Gardner after they had a usual vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. This town is located on the south point of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula and is famous for its great surf and sea, amazing beaches, and tasty cuisine. Once they returned from vacation, JD and Sarah Gardner started to dream about bringing back home the Mexican atmosphere.

So, the idea of Costa Vida was born and in 2003 the first Tex-Mex restaurant was opened in Layton, Utah. This was a huge success right from the start as people loved the food served there.

Our review

Once you enter a Costa Vida restaurant you will feel like you are on a beach in Mexico. The restaurants are designed in a tropical style, with wood panels, nautical-colored chairs, warm lighting, and graphic-printed walls.

The Costa Vida menu includes every Mexican food you could think of. This includes quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas, tacos, nachos, specialties, appetizers, salads, kids’ meals, and desserts, but also a wide variety of drinks. You will have to choose a filling for each of their main features. The options would be raspberry chipotle chicken, shredded beef, bean and cheese, grilled steak, and sweet pork.

You should be prepared to pay anywhere between $9 and $15 for one of their main dishes.

A popular choice among customers is their grilled steak. Also, it is highly recommended to try their burritos, which are stuffed with lime rice, grilled steak (or a meat of your choice), fresh greens, grated cheese, and a choice of beans, then coated with sauce and more cheese.

The Costa Vida staff is well-prepared and friendly and does its best to make you feel like you are on vacation in Mexico.
