" What a great surprise finding Cotija's Taco Shop! I ordered two different types of tacos and they were all bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making it a delightful experience. The only drawback might be the limited parking, but that’s typical for the area. Overall, I can't wait to come back and try more menu items! Keep up the fantastic work, Cotija's! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Cotija's after hearing all the buzz, and I was not let down. The food was strikingly fresh with bold flavors. I had the breakfast burrito and couldn't believe how filling it was. The service was decent but could improve a bit with attentiveness. Overall, worth the visit for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cotija's does not disappoint! The carne asada fries were incredible and practically overflowing with toppings. My only complaint is the service. It seemed a bit rushed and not as personable, but I could forgive that for how great the food was. Highly recommend for anyone craving hearty Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Cotija's for the first time last month and had a great experience. The service was prompt even though it was busy during lunch. I ordered the fish tacos, which were crispy and flavorful, but my partner got the shrimp burrito, which he raved about! The only downside was that it got slightly noisy when filled with students on their lunch breaks, but that’s part of the charm. I would recommend this place to anyone in search of good Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried Cotija's, and let me just say, the experience was a delight. I opted for their loaded nachos with carne asada, and I was impressed by the generous portion and the quality of the toppings. Service was friendly, but it took a while for my order to arrive. The place had a great local vibe. Overall, I would recommend Cotija's for its authentic flavors, but be prepared for a bit of a wait during rush hour! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first inclination to try Cotija's was based on its reputation and it did not disappoint! The carne asada was flavorful, and each bite was executed with excellence. I appreciated the amount of toppings they allowed. We did have a little trouble with the staff’s attitude—they weren’t rude but could use some warmth. Overall, I still highly recommend this taco shop for its quality food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Cotija's based on a friend's recommendation and I was not disappointed. My burrito was absolutely massive and stuffed with high-quality meats and fresh ingredients. The flavors were on point, and I particularly enjoyed the spicy salsa they offer at the salsa bar. My only issue was the cleanliness of the dining area—it could use a little more attention. Yet, the food alone will bring me back! " (*Curated Review*)
