This review is for the flavorful food. My fiancé and I met with Manish yesterday for a tasting. He was so engaging and an absolute joy when it came to discussing planning and coord...
inating. We were met with great staff at the get go. The taco/salad bar provides so many options that we had to try it ourselves. It was our first time at Costa Vida and we absolutely loved it! Our favorites would have to be the salsas and of course the meat. Specifically the grilled chicken and how versatile it was in both the taco and salad. I was also impressed by the enchiladas, they were absolutely delicious. The drinks were also fresh and were told they are all made in house. Will truly consider Costa Vida as an option for our wedding and will update my review once we make a decision.

l the ingredients were colorful and vibrant. The team that was sent included servers at the app and dinner tables, and bussed for us as well. They were so friendly and everything went so smoothly. We also did tres leche, was I was so impressed with - their dishes are so cute and the taste is amazing! They also worked with us on options for kids. I'll try to come back and add some pics once I have them

s my favorite cake so I’m always a tough critic, but seriously, my fiancé and I couldn’t get enough of it. If you want your guests to leave raving about the food, do the Tres Leche add-on!! Service so far has been amazing and they are so willing to work with you. I can’t wait for them to help us on our big day!

. They were amazing! Costa Vida delivered the food to Nevada City from Yuba City, prepared, set up, served, and cleaned up the food when it was time to clean up. They supplied everything. All of our guests were ranting and raving about the yummy appetizers and dinner foods. Everything was cooked correctly and tasted so good. It was all so delicious. There was so much to choose from, including beverages. Manesh was such an amazing person to speak with; he was so helpful, informative, positive, accurate, and most of all, reassuring. We decided on Costa Vida because Manesh won us over with his kindness. The price was just right for all the food we chose. What an amazing day we all had, and we enjoyed all the Costa Vida food, along with the outstanding staff/servers. They were all so wonderful. I definitely recommend Costa Vida for any catering services anywhere.

eady for us and didn’t complain about the heat. I did on the other hand :) The food was delicious and all our guests were complimenting us on finding such amazing food! When the crew was cleaning up, they went to the store specifically for us to get To Go boxes with lids so we could have the leftovers. We were really impressed with the service. If we lived in Roseville, CA we would definitely use them again because their catering service is top notch!

Customer service while planning was great and the servers were so kind. But ultimately I was disappointed. There weren’t enough servers to keep the buffet line going, so my guests ...
started to serve themselves. We also stressed how hot food was so important to us, but even being first in line the food was only warm.

serve. I reached out for information from Costa Vida and received a prompt call back. Khurram was so helpful. He explained every item and detail that they provided and opened my eyes to Costa Vida providing a full serve meal at our location. I had no idea. Their prices were comparable from the onset but when you saw what they included and the other guys upcharged for it was a great deal. They met me out at the venue and we went thru all the details. They answered questions promptly and did everything they said they were going to do. They were on time, dressed professionally and served us a wonderfully delicious meal. I didn't have to worry about a thing. It was wonderful having the peace of mind that everything was well taken care of while we were busy attending to last minute wedding details. Our guests were impressed and left with full bellies. They even packaged up and left us all the remaining food! I would highly recommend Costa Vida Full Service catering for your next event.

taken care of so we had nothing to worry about the day of the wedding. The food blew us away. We did not even try the food ahead of time, and let me tell you, we could not have asked for better. It was so flavorful, with so many different options for guests to choose from. There was something for everyone! They came with a large, friendly staff to help. They all seemed so happy to be there, and were so helpful throughout the evening. We had plenty of food with no concern of running out, and the buffet line moved very quickly. I was in the bridal suite after pictures, and they made sure to deliver some appetizers and drinks to me which I thought was very thoughtful. Overall, we were so happy with our choice to have Costa Vida cater our wedding, and they exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely choose them as a caterer for a future event! Thank you Costa Vida!!!

The luckiest day in all this wedding planning was when we met Khurram and the good people at Costa Vida Fresh Mexican Grill. It is hard enough to plan food for a remote site weddi...
ng - but doing this from out of state is even more difficult. From the very beginning they took care of us - really took care of us. Communication was clear and response was swift. They worked with us and provided my daughter's guests the most wonderful presentation of fresh Mexican food - people were thrilled and went up for seconds and thirds!! The staff who set up and served everyone were exceptionally professional and the customer service was 5 stars from beginning to end.
I cannot recommend with any more enthusiasm and certainty - I trust Khurram and the service her provides and I hope many others will trust Costa Vida Fresh Mexican Grill with their catering needs!!
