Costa Vida is a Mexican Restaurant style of food. This is my copy cat recipe. With the sweetness of this pork it pairs well with extra spicy salsa or top it off with extra sliced jalapeno's.

I think this chain is mostly out west but I went to the one in Portland, ME with my sister and am now a huge fan. This is very similar to the rice that they use in the burritos and salads. Yummy!
