This was my second time here, last time I was in San Diego someone recommended this place and it was delicious. So on this trip I knew exactly where I wanted to grab a really good bite to eat. Walking in it's a very simple set up. The menus are above the register and once you figure out what you want you place your order and wait for your number to be called. We both got the surf and turf burrito.After placing our order the food came out pretty fast. It became obvious that we had picked a perfect window of time to come in because the place got super busy shortly afterwards. The burritos came out nice and hot. The shrimp was well cooked in it and so was the carne asada. It also had rice, pico and white sauce. The flavors all go together really nicely. Nothing was overpowering. Their portion sizes are big so come hungry. I was only able to eat half my burrito before getting full but the leftovers are really good.One nice thing they offer is the salsa bar with four different types of salsas, cilantro sauce, red sauce, green sauce and, habanero. Each sauce had great flavor and were great compliments to the burrito. This is definitely a place that I will return to. The food is great and the service is fast and friendly. There is also plenty of seating both inside and outside so whatever your preference works.

I'm genuinely surprised this wonderful place doesn't have a higher rating. There are other spots that aren't nearly as delicious yet have higher ratings, but they honestly don't compare. This place is AMAZING. Their burritos have the perfect amount of browning on the tortilla, making them look and taste incredible. And their salsas--especially the VERDE salsa--are exceptional! I could literally order a cup of it; it's the best salsa I've ever had, bursting with flavor and never watered down. You must try it!The customer service here is exceptional. I've been coming quite often, and the quality remains consistently high, which I truly appreciate. The place is always clean too.It's a charming spot, and if you're looking for a solid option, this is the place to go.

One of my most frequented taco shops. It's a highly under-talked about spot and that's just a shame. I have never once left feeling put off. Each and every meal I've had there is my new favorite burrito, until the next time I visit.How are their breakfast burritos?? THE ABSOLUTE BEST. California burritos are so overrated... not when you get them from Mr. Cotija!!! (add sour cream, substitute the french fries for has browns, and top it off with their creamy green salsa, I think it's a avocado salsa).The service is also very quick and friendly. I love everything about Cotija's. It's on of the only places I will drive over 30 minutes just to have on a consistent basis.

Yelp Review:This local Mexican joint is a breakfast haven that deserves a spotlight. I stumbled upon the hashbrown breakfast burrito, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer. Stuffed with bacon, sausage, and boasting a flavorful integration of sour cream inside, it's a breakfast dream come true. The combination of crispy hashbrowns and savory goodness is pure morning magic.Now, let's talk about the Surfing Cali Burrito. Whoever crafted this masterpiece deserves applause. Packed with flavors that transport you straight to the California coast, it's a surf and turf delight that hits all the right notes. The blend of ingredients is a symphony for your taste buds.And let's not forget the salsas - they're practically an art form. From mild to fiery, each one elevates the flavors in a way that's nothing short of impressive. Whether you're a salsa aficionado or just dipping your toes in, you're in for a treat.In a nutshell, everything I've tried so far at this Mexican gem has been fantastic, and I can't wait to explore more of their menu. From the hashbrown breakfast burrito to the Surfing Cali Burrito, and the amazing salsas - it's a local treasure that deserves all the praise! Highly recommend for a flavorful Mexican fix anytime.

We ate at the Cotijas in Tierrasanta. The food is always made fresh & tastes great. We always come here when we visit San Diego. My favorite is the rolled tacos, quesadillas & breakfast burritos, but all their food is delicious . I wish they would open up franchises here in Texas (Bulverde, Stone Oak, New Braunfels, Boerne & Spring Branch). I'm not really a fan of Tex-Mex and miss this California style of mexican food. Please come out to Texas!!!!

The bean tostada and bean and cheese guacamole burrito was delicious as usual the tostada was very small. The 5 rolled tacos they were very delicious. The shrimp burrito amazing! The bean tostada was very good!!! Another bean tostada was delightful. Don't even start me with the potato tacos 5/5. The protein bowl was dry, and no dressing. The best out of all of them was the enchiladas, SO GOOD!!!!! The service was very friendly, even the people in line! The ambiance was very normal, for a takeout place. Overall a 4.8 , great.

Fantastic! Might be a little out of your way, but it's worth it.Epic burritos (both breakfast and regular). Huge, but the taste is outstanding. Go with the hash browns in the breakfast burrito.Service is solid, nice little restaurant with outdoor seating. Perfect for a post-session burrito.
