Chicago is one lucky city. We have a plethora of new restaurants that open monthly. One could literally eat out every single day of the week. That's why we were pleased to find out that Costa Vida, Chicago's newest fresh Mexican grill, opened up this past July.
Costa Vida is located at 218 W. Lake Street, only 2 blocks west of the green line and James R. Thompson (State of Illinois) Center.
The thing about Costa Vida is not that it is another Mexican grill like a certain chain of restaurants that has recently taken over the Mexican cuisine scene. Costa Vida offers so much variety that it is hard to choose just what to eat from their diverse menu. Not only that, Costa Vida is doing something that is so important in today's glutted market. Costa Vida is cooking fresh. That's right. No processed frozen meats here. No congealed gooey salsa or stale re-fried beans that need more re-frying!
During our visit to Costa Vida, we found out the backstory of this innovative new restaurant. Costa Vida is family-owned. Following a trip to Cabo San Lucas on the Baja Coast, Costa Vida founders JD and Sarah Gardner were inspired with a vision. While the surf lapped at their feet and they enjoyed the delicious freshly made local cuisine, they brainstormed how they could bring this vibrant lifestyle and incredible cuisine home with them. The result was the first Costa Vida location in Layton, Utah.
Being true to the Baja experience, Costa Vida food is made fresh in the restaurant's kitchen. Each tortilla is hand crafted daily and served hot, ensuring that no customer will ever have to eat a factory-made tortilla pulled from a bag. The sweet pork and shredded beef are perfectly seasoned and slow-cooked for several hours to create the signature intense aroma and flavors of Costa Vida. Costa Vida uses only the freshest all-natural ingredients, and prides itself on its intensely flavored meals that leave guests energized, inspired and satisfied.
