I just tried Cotijas, and wow, it was amazing! I got the carne asada chips and a carne asada soft taco, and both were on point. The carne asada was super flavorful and tender, and the chips had the perfect crunch with just the right amount of toppings. The taco was also really good--fresh, juicy meat in a soft tortilla. Plus, the service was quick and friendly. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to for more! Highly recommend if you're in the mood for some tasty Mexican food.

This is one of my favorite places to eat Mexican food. The burritos are huge and very good, so you can't go wrong here.

Simply the best taco shop I've ever been to. The food is always fantastic. I order the beef taco, roll tacos, refried beans and coke! One can absolutely never go wrong! FANTASTIC FOOD

One of the many Mexican restaurants in Santee. Walk up window here makes it more convenient. I ordered a pick up order and was able to grab it through the pick up window. The. carne asada chips here were delicious.

Good and cheap spot for burritos in Santee! We got the carnitas burrito to share between 2 people and had them cut it in half. It was still a good amount of food my bf and I were both between content to full afterwards. The meat was fall apart tender and had good pork flavor. The burrito was also well balanced in general and was not dry at all. I also enjoyed the variety of salsas and hot sauce that they had! They also have a window outside to order if you want takeout instead of a sit down meal. Overall a delightful surprise and I'm glad we finally tried this spot that we've been driving past so often.

I can't believe I've never reviewed Cotijas before. I'm for real shocked. I LOVE this place. It's my go-to Mexican spot. I've gone way too many times to count. Every time someone comes to visit, I take them here. I'll have to add pictures the next time I go. I'll list my top favs though. Tacos The carne asada taco is my number one and always my go-to. It's full, flavorful and never a bad choice. That fish taco is fire too. It's light and tasty. I have also had the chicken asado taco too. I prefer the carne asado or the fish. I've also had the rolled tacos. They weren't really my fav but if I'm going to pick one, I'd go for beef. The potato taco was cool. It was mad hot so I ate it fast but I wasn't really feeling it. I'll try it again one day because I like potato tacos. Tostadas Dawg, gone and do yourself a favor. Order this. The bean one if my favorite. Always hits, never fails. One is enough to fill me up but I'm a small human. 2 will definitely do the trick. Burritos That surf and turf burrito is A1. You won't be disappointed. I have had this burrito twice now (cause all I keep ordering are those carne asado tacos) and that burrito is so good. Big enough to be two meals. I also really like the shrimp burrito. It has white sauce which is helpful to me for dietary reasons. Lastly but definitely not least, that horchata ..... CHEFS KISS. When I tell you that I have had to have a better horchata in the city. I get horchata when I see it and this one is still the best that I've had. I always get a large now cause the one time I got a regular, it was gone too quickly. The service is always great. They friendly, welcoming and can make modifications. They have in door and outdoor seating and Public restrooms. They do to-go orders and you can call in. They aren't usually mad busy but there have been a few times when we planned to go to eat there and decided to take it home. Please drop by here. They've been here for a really long time and it makes sense why.
