" The last time we ordered, my family and I were a bit disappointed. The quality of the food seemed to have dropped since our last visit. The tacos tasted okay but lacked the authentic flair we had previously enjoyed. The service was standard; nothing remarkable but adequate. " (*Curated Review*)

" The plastic cutlery and lack of napkins were a bit annoying, but honestly, who cares when the food is this good? The carne asada burrito was stuffed to the brim with flavorful meat. I would likely return just for that burrito! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always get the California burrito and it has never let me down! The flavors are spot on, with just the right mix of succulent meat and fresh toppings. The outdoor seating gives it a nice vibe. Would recommend it for a quick bite any time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were drawn to Cotija's by the positive reviews and it's now one of our go-to taco shops in the area! The carne asada fries are equally impressive as their rolled tacos. Worth every penny and then some! You really can't go wrong here. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a crazy mix of experiences here! The first time I ordered a burrito it was huge and packed with meat, but my latest experience left me feeling underwhelmed. The portion sizes seemed smaller, and the service felt rushed. I hope they find their rhythm again because this place used to be a go-to for me. " (*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! " (*Curated Review*)
