Costa Vida locations guide
Finding a Costa Vida Near You
Hours and services differ by restaurant, so check your spot before you go.
Start with the address
How to find the closest restaurant
Costa Vida runs restaurants across the United States, with the deepest coverage in the West.
Start with the restaurant's own location finder or a maps search for costa vida plus your city. That gives you the address, current hours, and phone number in one place, and it reflects same-day changes like a short closure.
A guide can tell you that costavida operates nationwide, but it cannot tell you whether the spot twelve minutes away closes at nine or ten on a Tuesday. That detail lives with the individual restaurant.
- Search by city, then open the location page to confirm street address and directions.
- Read today's hours on that page, not a cached list from last month.
- Save the phone number if you are bringing a group or ordering pickup.
Our reference point for this guide is 10510 S State St, Sandy, UT 84070. Your nearest dining room will have its own schedule.
Exteriors, parking, and closing times change by neighborhood.
Check same day
Hours vary more than you'd expect
Weekday lunch, weekend, and holiday schedules often run on different clocks, and two costa vida dining rooms in the same metro area can keep different hours. A spot near offices leans into weekday lunch. One near homes may stay open later on weekends.

Same day
If you are organizing a group, call rather than trusting a screenshot. The line moves fast, but a holiday schedule can shift the whole evening.
The counter-service flow
You order at a counter, watch the bowl or burrito come together, pay at the end, and pick your own table. No reservation, no waiting for a check.
Pick your order before you go
First
Choose format and protein
Decide bowl, burrito, tacos, or salad before you reach the glass. The line is the only bottleneck.
Next
Watch it built, then pay
Rice, beans, toppings, and sauces go on in front of you. Pay once at the end of the line.
Last
Salsa bar is self-serve
After you pay, add salsa and grab drinks yourself. Taste heat in small spoonfuls first.
Seating and atmosphere
Rooms are set for turnover: tables, booths, and an easy casual feel that suits a weekday lunch or a family dinner. For a long celebratory night, a full-service room fits better.
Groups do best slightly off peak. Everyone orders on their own and seating is first-come, so a party of six at noon will split across tables.
Visiting with kids
High chairs are common and build-your-own helps picky eaters skip what they do not want. If you need step-free access or room for a stroller, call the location — layouts differ and only the staff can confirm.
Drive-thru and takeout where available
Not every costa vida restaurant offers the same pickup path. Confirm with your location before you count on it.
Drive-thru lanes
Offered at some restaurants only. Useful for a quick pickup, not for customizing a large group order.
Confirm by phone
Walk-in takeout
Bowls travel better than burritos. Order ahead through the restaurant's own channels during peak hours.
Bowls carry best
Family meals to go
Built to be carried home and assembled at the table. Skips the line when ordered ahead.
Order ahead
One tray that settles the nobody-agrees dinner.
Family meals for a group at home
Instead of separate entrees, you bring home proteins, rice, beans, and tortillas in larger portions and let everyone build a plate. It feeds mixed tastes without a long counter line, and usually costs less per person than ordering one by one.
Before you go: a short checklist

Visit questions, answered
Short answers for planning a costavida stop, from hours to large groups.
Are all Costa Vida locations open the same hours?
No. Hours differ by restaurant and by day, and holiday schedules can differ from regular ones. Check the specific location the same day you plan to visit.
Do I need a reservation?
No. It is counter service. You order at the line, pay, and seat yourself.
Do all locations have a drive-thru?
No. Service options vary by restaurant, so confirm with the location if a drive-thru or pickup matters to you.
Can I bring a large group?
Small groups fit the format easily. For larger parties, consider ordering a family meal or calling ahead so the location can prepare.
Is takeout available?
At most locations, yes, and bowls and family meals travel better than burritos. Confirm pickup details with the restaurant.
