" Cotija Taco Shop is where I go whenever I'm craving tacos. They have a range of options and the flavors never disappoint! It's a simple place with outdoor seating and I appreciate the laid-back, casual vibe. The staff is usually friendly. Just be prepared for hustle, as it's a popular spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cotija Taco Shop offers some bold flavors in their dishes that I appreciated. My fish tacos were fresh, and my partner enjoyed the asada fries immensely. However, the ambiance isn’t very inviting and more could be done regarding cleanliness. The service was a mixed bag; some were friendly while others seemed overwhelmed. I'll give it another shot and hope for an improvement in the atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always make it a point to stop at Cotija Taco Shop anytime I'm in the area. Their tacos are packed with flavor and the prices are reasonable. The salsa is also excellent and adds a great kick. Service might fluctuate a bit depending on how busy it is, but the food quality is consistently good. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard such great things about Cotija Taco Shop so I decided to see for myself. I ordered the fish tacos and they were pretty tasty. Service was prompt, but the exterior didn't make it feel very welcoming. I enjoyed my meal, but perhaps next time I’ll try a different dish. They have a good selection! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Cotija Taco Shop during our road trip and loved it! The street tacos were fresh, bursting with flavors, and quite filling! The outdoor only seating was quaint, but I appreciated the laid-back vibe. However, some employees could have been a bit more welcoming. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area!

" What a delightful find! We stumbled upon Cotija Taco Shop while on our way to Sequoia National Park and we couldn't have been happier. I ordered the fish tacos which were fresh and flavorful. The service was friendly, and our food came out quickly which was great after a long drive. The atmosphere was casual but that's what we were looking for. For anyone traveling through, make sure to stop here for real Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a taco stop that gives you a taste of home, Cotija Taco Shop is where to go. I was thrilled to find such authentic flavors in Los Banos. Their cabeza tacos are a must-try — tender and flavorful, and the salsa packs just the right amount of kick! However, one downside was the lack of seating inside, which might not be comfortable during hot days. Still, the food more than makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)
