" Although I had heard mixed reviews about Cotija's, my experience was quite positive. The food was good, and the staff treated me kindly. I got the rolled tacos, which were indeed tasty, though not the best I’ve had. I did find the seating a bit cramped on a busy day, which affected the overall experience slightly, but I could see it being an ideal spot for a quick snack. I would visit again but perhaps during a less busy time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Cotija's Taco Shop last week, and I’m so glad I did! The moment I walked in, I noticed the vibrant decor and the smell of fresh tortillas. I ordered carne asada tacos, which were incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. The staff was attentive, and the service was quick, which was a plus since I was in a hurry. I’ll definitely be back for Taco Tuesdays! Highly recommend this spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience at Cotija's in so many aspects. I ordered a breakfast burrito that was absolutely loaded with eggs, bacon, and cheese. It was made fresh and tasted delightful. The employees were friendly, adding to the welcoming vibe of the restaurant. The only downside for some might be the wait during peak hours, but honestly, it was worth it. Delicious food outweighs any small inconvenience. I’ll be coming back for my breakfast fix! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried numerous taco spots around San Diego, Cotija's stands out because of its authentic taste and quality. The chicken burrito I had was massive and packed with tender meat and fresh ingredients. I wasn’t a fan of the Styrofoam containers, though, as they felt cheap and environmentally unfriendly. Overall, a solid place to grab a bite after a long day! " (*Curated Review*)

" An excellent spot for quick and flavorful Mexican food! I tried their shrimp tacos and found them fresh and delicious. The staff was upbeat and friendly, which enhanced my dining experience. My only suggestion would be to improve the table cleaning; they seemed a bit neglected. Other than that, I would certainly visit Cotija's again. " (*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*)
