" Stopped by for lunch, and the place was packed! I patiently waited for a table and was rewarded with excellent food. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable! I tried the nachos with carne asada, which left me satisfied. Service was slightly slow, but given how busy they were, it was understandable. Overall a great spot for a quick bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this little taco shop while exploring San Diego, and it quickly became our go-to for Mexican food! The rolled tacos are incredible—crispy, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Their red sauce packs a punch! The ambiance is charming; it has a cozy taco shop vibe that adds to the overall experience. Plus, the staff treated us like family. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can see why this place has so many fans! The carne asada burrito was one of the best I've eaten—stuffed to the brim and bursting with flavor. I'm not a massive fan of salsa, but I gave theirs a try, and I was pleasantly impressed! The dining area is small, so be prepared to come during off-peak hours for a table, but it's worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" This taco shop exudes charm! I loved my experience here, from the smiley faces of the employees to the hustle and bustle of the patrons. I ordered their famous carne asada fries and wasn't disappointed; they were huge and filling! I felt the price was right for what I received, and I even got to try their salsa bar, which enhanced the entire meal! What a fantastic find! " (*Curated Review*)

" I heard a lot of hype about El Cotixan, but my experience was not stellar. While the food was edible, it didn't blow me away. I found the service to be merely average and expected a bit more from a place with such positive reviews. Maybe it was an off night. I would be willing to come back and give it another try later on. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Cotixan is my new favorite spot! The first time I tried their tacos, they immediately won me over. Each bite explodes with taste, especially with their fresh salsa! The service was quick and friendly. I appreciate that I can talk to the staff. Next time, I'm going to bring a couple of friends for a dining experience. They've got my vote! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at El Cotixan was satisfying! The tacos were delicious and the salsa bar was impressive, I loved the variety. The only downside was that the parking situation can be tricky at times. I would absolutely return for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)
