" First visit to Los Cotijas today! I ordered their famous fish tacos, and while they were tasty, I found them a bit underwhelming for all the hype around them. The service was decent, nothing to write home about. The atmosphere was busy and crowded, typical of a taco shop. I'd give it another chance to see if it's just a one-off. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! I stopped by Los Cotijas after a long day and boy am I glad I did! The fish tacos were astounding, just simply mouthwatering! I felt like every bite was filled with a burst of authentic flavors. Their prices are reasonable, and the portions are very generous. I can't recommend this place enough! Fantastic cash-only taco shop! " (*Curated Review*)

" Been coming here for years, and Los Cotijas never fails. The fish tacos have maintained their incredible taste and quality. Always fresh and filled with plenty of toppings. Staff is always accommodating, and while it can get crowded, it just adds to the taco shop vibe. Just bring cash, and you’re good to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I waited so long to try Los Cotijas! Their fish tacos are pure heaven, genuinely some of the best I've had. The crunch of the batter is perfect, and they are just the right size. The staff was friendly, and although I had to wait a bit, it was worth it. This place is a cash-only establishment, which was a bit of an inconvenience, but I'll definitely be back soon! Overall, this is a fantastic spot to satisfy your taco cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Cotijas Taco Shop is an absolute gem! The moment you step in, you can feel the warmth from the staff. I ordered the carne asada and fish tacos, and I was blown away by how fresh they tasted. The portions were decent for the price, and I couldn't resist trying the homemade salsa – it elevated the whole meal! The only downside was that it was pretty packed, so I had to wait a bit for my food. But overall, it's a must-visit if you're looking for quality tacos in Orange County! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a charming little spot! I loved my experience here. The fish tacos were delightful and held plenty of flavor! The service was excellent, very attentive. A friend had the burrito and praised it for being generous in size. The environment was casual and friendly. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed during my visit to Los Cotijas. The fish tacos didn't taste fresh, and they felt a bit on the greasy side. The service took its time, which left me a little disappointed. The seating is limited and somewhat uncomfortable as well. I think I expected too much from this place based on the reviews. I may explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)
