" The fish tacos were delightful and packed with flavor! I love that they offer different salsas—it makes the meal feel special. The portions felt just right too. Definitely a new favorite spot of mine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience—my burrito was huge but kind of bland. The staff seemed overwhelmed during lunch hours, and that may have impacted the quality. I’ll give them another chance because of the portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best Mexican food place I've visited! The flavors were robust, and the service was excellent from start to finish. I greatly enjoyed the carne asada fries and would definitely recommend this place to any taco lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nothing beats a late-night taco craving, and Cotija's delivered! I ordered their birria tacos, and they were amazing! Juicy and with just the right amount of spice, these tacos left me wanting more. The environment was casual, perfect for a relaxed bite with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Cotija's enough! Their carnitas tacos are unbeatable. Each bite is packed with flavor, and the proportions are generous. The service makes you feel welcome, and I genuinely enjoy stopping by for a casual meal. Plus, the salsa bar is an epic addition. A must-visit in my book! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Cotija's and I was blown away by the size of the burrito! The carne asada was juicy and well-seasoned, and the beans complemented it perfectly. The ambiance was casual and the staff appeared busy but friendly. Overall, a solid lunch spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Cotija's feels like a treat! The fish tacos are possibly the best I’ve tasted in San Diego, with their crispy batter and fresh flavors. The staff are friendly and efficient, making it a great spot for a quick meal. I constantly recommend my friends try the California burrito too, and they love it! Keep it up, Cotija's!
