At Costa Vida, we believe food is more than a meal. It’s a moment. A moment to connect. A moment to recharge. A moment to feel nourished, body and soul. That belief shapes not only our menu, but our entire culture.
From the second you walk into one of our restaurants, our goal is to make you feel at home. We focus on the details so you can focus on what matters. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch between meetings, catching up with friends, or enjoying dinner with family, we want Costa Vida to feel like your go-to spot. Not just for incredible food, but for meaningful experiences.
A Culture of Care
The Costa Vida culture is rooted in care. We care about our food—where it comes from, how it’s made, and how it makes you feel. We care about our teams—providing opportunities for growth, leadership, and learning. And we care about our guests—striving every day to create spaces and service that are inviting, comfortable, and genuine.
That care starts behind the scenes. Every morning, our teams begin the day preparing fresh ingredients from scratch. Hand-rolling tortillas, chopping produce, slow-cooking meats, and blending sauces. We’re passionate about the process because we know it makes a difference. That kind of attention to detail shows up in every bite, every order, every visit.
A Space That Feels Like Home
We intentionally design our restaurants to be warm and welcoming. Our space is designed to be welcoming and familiar, creating an atmosphere for connecting over our delicious, house-made food. We know that where you eat is just as important as what you eat. That’s why we invest in creating environments where you can slow down, take a breath, and share real conversations with the people you care about.
The energy in a Costa Vida restaurant is vibrant yet relaxed. The colors, lighting, and music are all chosen to help you feel uplifted and at ease. Whether you’re dining in, ordering takeout, or catering for a celebration, we want your experience to reflect the warmth and care that define our brand.
It’s All About the People
Of course, no culture is complete without the people who bring it to life. At Costa Vida, our team members are the heartbeat of everything we do. From the crew working the grill to the team welcoming guests at the front counter, each person plays a vital role in creating the Costa Vida experience.
We foster a culture of teamwork, respect, and continuous improvement. We hire individuals who genuinely care about doing things right, treating others well, and making someone’s day a little better. And we invest in our people, helping them grow into leaders who inspire others and bring out the best in their teams.
We’re also proud to be part of so many communities. Each of our locations reflects the spirit and personality of the people who live and work nearby. We support local causes, partner with schools and nonprofits, and look for ways to give back. Because being a good neighbor is just as important as being a great restaurant.
More Than a Meal
At Costa Vida, we’re not just serving fresh Mexican food. We’re building something more meaningful. A space where families bond over dinner, friends laugh over lunch, and individuals find a moment of calm in a busy day. A culture where quality matters, people come first, and every little detail is handled with intention.
So the next time you walk through our doors, know that everything you see, taste, and feel has been thoughtfully created with you in mind. Because at Costa Vida, we focus on the details so you can focus on what matters.
