Are Costa Vida and Cafe Rio the same?

Burritos, salads, enchiladas, and tacos are on the menu.

No, Costa Vida and Cafe Rio are not the same. They are separate restaurant chains, each with its own distinct menu, branding, and management. Both restaurants specialize in fresh, Mexican-inspired cuisine, but they are distinct entities.

Costa Vida was founded in Layton, Utah in 2003, while Cafe Rio, originally named Cafe Rio Mexican Grill, was founded in St. George, Utah in 1997. Despite some similarities in menu, each chain has its own unique recipes.

Who started Costa Vida and Café Rio?

Costa Vida and Cafe Rio are separate restaurant chains, each founded by different individuals.

Costa Vida was founded by JD and Sarah Gardner in 2003. They were inspired by a trip to Cabo San Lucas, where they experienced the local cuisine and beach lifestyle, which they then decided to replicate in their own restaurant concept.

On the other hand, Cafe Rio was founded by Steve and Patricia Stanley in 1997. They started the chain after they moved from Southern California to Utah, and were unable to find the kind of fresh Mexican food they were used to. They created Cafe Rio to fill that gap.

Both chains specialize in fresh, Mexican-inspired cuisine, but they are separate business entities.

How many carbs are in a Costa Vida sweet pork burrito?

Costa Vida’s sweet pork burrito is one of the most popular items on the menu. In terms of the total carbs of the burrito, it varies depending on the ingredients you choose. With that in mind, it ranges from 118g to 152g.

If you’ve never at tried the sweet pork here’s my best attempt at describing it. The sweet pork in the burrito is made with a trademark blend of spices that includes cumin, chili powder, oregano, and garlic powder. The pork is then wrapped in a warm flour tortilla and topped with your choice of rice, beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, and cheese.

Does Costa Vida have Gluten-Free Menu Items?

Salsa and guac is on the menu at Costa Vida.

Yes, there are a number of gluten-free menu items at Costa Vida. Here are a few options:

  • Salads: All of Costa Vida’s salads can be made gluten-free by requesting a corn tortilla instead of a flour tortilla.
  • Soups: The Tortilla Soup and Chicken Tortilla Soup are both gluten-free.
  • Sides: The black beans, rice, pico de gallo, and guacamole are all gluten-free.
  • Kids’ Meals: The Kids’ Quesadilla and Kids’ Burrito can both be made gluten-free by requesting a corn tortilla instead of a flour tortilla.

Keep in mind that Costa Vida does not have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen so there is a risk of cross-contamination. If you have a severe gluten allergy, you may want to avoid eating at Costa Vida.
