Mr. Half Marathon
I hate to give such a low rating, especially in times like this but I would hate for others to waste hard earned money on very disappointing food preparation. I have gone here a few time, giving them the opportunity as a customer, but last time I was there I again spent around $60, which was high for a few items, and was very disappointed on the over cooked Carne Asada Fries, but not just on one order but two orders, over cooked means hard almost burnt fries, meat and cheese was nearly visible. Tacos were made with 2 large tortillas, with potions for mini tacos, it was just embarrassing. I wouldn’t of minded if they had sold them to me as mini tacos with small tortillas, the meat was good. Lastly, even if you order to eat in, the food is packed and tied in a plastic bag, not giving you the best vibe. Why a 2 star, the food itself isn’t bad, when done right, but you can definitely see the portion size and the pride they take in preparing food is just not a priority. Make me think at a personal option that they are struggling to stay afloat and it’s passed on to the consumer with higher prices and less quality of product. If you want to spend less money there is a jack in the box next door , you’ll at least know what you pay for. So order at your own risk.

I have been going to this place for years and recently started using Uber-Eats for delivery. Never had an issue until tonight. I ordered Cheese Enchiladas, Shrimp Enchiladas, and a Potato Taco. Uber driver Marco delivered on time. When I opened the bag I had 1 container with 1 cheese enchilada & 1 shrimp enchilada and the taco. I called Cotija’s to tell them they forgot food in my order. The person in the background said he knew which order it was and I could come down and get the food or Uber could delivery. I asked if they were paying for Uber and they said “No”. I told them since it was there mistake they should. I was then told to call tomorrow and speak to the manager.

That one, lone, all by himself, with no help, flying solo cook in the back deserves an immediate raise. He handled 4 tickets quickly, efficiently and all by himself! Retired chef here was impressed.

Completely unmelted cheese enchilada. Like all the ingredients are there but I don’t think they were ever any warmer than the freezing condition I received them in. Also I didn’t get my soda but that’s on doordash not the restaurant. Other entree in order was fine but like….not even kinda melted. At all.

Paid 12 bucks for a Shrimp Diablo burrito. I don’t mind the price going up but when the burrito shrinks in size as the prices keep going up thats wrong. Will not be going back.

Went and ordered Carne Asada Nachos. Payed almost $13 for them, when I opened it up, there was hardly ANY CARNE ASADA in there, they smothered it with sour cream a lil bit of guacamole and cheese. Very disappointed! I Will NOT BE Coming back to this location Ever! Very inconsistent. Over Priced and just cuz it says beef shortage don’t mean you can be cheap on the beef when your prices are raised and we’re paying for it. So Frustated. Never Again. One star is not Low enough. In the photo, ate a lil, but there but trust me, there was not much meat.

I like this restaurant, they do it fast and there are not so many people, sometimes they need to put a few things but it’s fine for me, My favorite is California burrito and the agua de ochata is the best, it’s sweet and has a good taste

Used to live close and this became my husband’s and I favorite taco shop. We now live in San Ysidro and we continue to drive here when we want a GREAT taco shop. The food has never disappointed me, they have lots to choose from, the prices are affordable, the staff is always smiling and friendly, and it’s always clean when we go in. They’re normally always busy because it’s so close to so many homes and shops. Expect to wait at least 10-15 minutes. Trust me when I say every bite is worth the wait. When they aren’t busy, it’s pretty fast. No drive thru through.
