Costa Vida Nutrition Calculator: A Dietitian's Guide

Written & reviewed by Jennifer Zoned, PhDLast reviewed June 2026Based on official Costa Vida nutrition data

Costa Vida's sweet pork burritos and heavy cheese layers are crowd-favorites, but they can easily overload your sodium and fat for the day. Being mindful of how you build your plate is key.

Use this calculator to build your burrito, bowl, or tacos and see how simple adjustments change the nutrition profile.

Baja style fresh options

Costa Vida offers fresh ingredients, but the assembly format makes it easy to over-add. Opting for a burrito bowl instead of a giant flour tortilla saves carbohydrates immediately.

Dietitianโ€™s takeChoose a burrito bowl over a flour tortilla, select lean grilled chicken or fish, and opt for fresh salsas instead of heavy cheese sauces.

Choosing lean proteins and black beans

Grilled chicken, grilled fish, and black beans are excellent, protein-rich choices that keep the meal satisfying. Carnitas and sweet pork are richer options that carry more sugar and fat. For example, the Grilled Chicken, 4 oz is a top protein source with 29g of protein.
