" My go-to place for carne asada fries! Every bite is a burst of flavor, and the value for the portion is unbeatable. I always enjoy the relaxed atmosphere too. It's a laid-back place where I can just enjoy my meal and chat with friends. The staff is always welcoming, making me feel at home! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted so badly to love this place after hearing all the hype, but my experience didn’t quite match. The carne asada burrito was just average and somewhat dry. The service could improve, as I felt a little rushed at the counter. I think I might give it another chance since everyone else seems to enjoy it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to check this place out after hearing positive things, and I was not disappointed! The carne asada fries were amazing—so much flavor and hefty servings. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for hearty Mexican eats. A little more clean tables would have elevated my experience, but the food was fantastic. " (*Curated Review*)

" While visiting San Diego, we made a pit stop at El Cotixan. From the moment we walked in, there was a delightful aroma. I ordered the breakfast burrito, which was massive! The only thing I wish they had was more seating; it feels quite cramped. Still, the food was worth it and I was thrilled with my meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience at El Cotixan! The portions were generous, and I especially enjoyed the carne asada burrito. The flavors were evident, and it felt like it was made with quality ingredients. I was also pleased with how clean the restaurant was. I look forward to returning with family to share the experience! " (*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*)
