Excellent food. Great staff. Members of our party said it was the best they have ever had. Large portions.

The food made me cry, it was so good. Well seasoned meats, fresh topping, and lots of selections. Stop reading this and go there! Friendly, well trained staff that make you feel special even in a crowd. Lots of seating and great decor.

We had Joha Leon at Costa Vida Southland cater a Mexican lunch for our office, and it was absolutely fantastic! They provided a taco bar with chicken, a fresh and colorful salad bar with beef and pork, and two incredible desserts—tres leches and key lime pie. The taco bar was a standout and the variety of toppings let everyone customize their meal just the way they liked it. The salad bar was crisp and refreshing, a great complement to the main dishes. And the desserts? Simply amazing! The tres leches was rich and moist, and the key lime pie had just the right balance of tangy and sweet. Delivery was prompt, setup was seamless, and the presentation made everything look as good as it tasted. Thank you Joha for making our lunch so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be ordering again!

I love the food and great place to go for Mexican food. They just need more in Canada. I love the enchiladas and sweet sauce. Totally recommend to someone who loves Mexican

Generous portions of genuine Mexican fine tasting food. Very good variety of selections and shiny clean dining area. Highly recommend!

I love the Mexican food here, everything looks fresh and well managed. My favourite are the tres leches desserts.

We were pleasantly surprised by Costa Vida (Southland) - the food and the service is impeccable! We initially ordered via the Skip App for pick up but decided to dine in and we were SO glad we did. When we arrived, Ella promptly greeted us and immediately reviewed our order to ensure everything we ordered was prepared. The pick up process was quick and efficient. During the pick up process, Ella was kind and personable. She ensured we felt like valued customers even though we were just picking up a takeout order. It is clear Costa Vida (Southland) takes great pride is providing excellent customer service. There was an extensive menu to choose from but we ultimately ordered the Beef Barbacoa Enchiladas and Grilled Chicken Enchiladas - both were absolutely delicious. The food is carefully prepared with fresh ingredients and it shows. We were so impressed with both dishes, we decided to order more food to go. Upon ordering, we found out it was Cinco De Mayo and their Sweet Pork Enchiladas were only 8. We ordered two of these to go and have yet to try them. We are almost certain they’re going to be delicious. Finally, as we were leaving, we were approached by the manager, Joha, who asked us about our experience. This was our first time eating at Costa Vida and we were thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. Thank you, Costa Vida (Southland) for the delicious food and wonderful service. We look forward to returning in the near future!

First time eating here. Staff is fast and friendly. Was was fresh and delicious. I had one of each of their street tacos and they were all outstanding
