What a delicious Mexican food restaurant! Came here for the first time for taco Tuesday. The…read morespecial is mostly vegan choices except for chicken and adobada. We tried the meat and also ordered carne asada. The carne asada tacos were sooo delicious and loved the crisp. Tortillas, onions and cilantro were fresh. The chicken was pretty good and the adobada was okay, but at least it wasn't too greasy like how I've seen at other places. Customer service was friendly and food was served fresh and quick. Something brought my experience down was the bathroom and mop they were using while I was eating. I went to go wash my hands and my daughter and I were both overwhelmed with the rancid stench of moldy old water. The bathroom smelled old gross and she was about to mop so I looked at the mop and noticed it was beyond the point of needing to be changed out. As I ate in the dining room, she proceeded to mop the dining area floors, which I saw her use in the bathroom so that's pretty gross. I hated the smell of old mop, masked with Fabuloso. I recommend the food, just take it to go!

Delicious Tacos!! Such a hidden gem…read more I'm so glad we found this during our trip. We came here two times and every time was a HIT. So so amazing. We got the: -carne asada tacos: MY FAVORITE. They are ooozing with beef. I have never seen any place put this much beef on it. -shrimp taco; juicy and fat shrimp -fish taco: crispy, fresh fish. So crunchy and delicious Staff was super nice. The guy at the front brought the food to us. I will definitely come back if I'm in California!!

Amazing service and great food. Stopped in after seeing a few social media posts. Associate greeted…read moreus right away, explained the menu and gave a moment to take it all in. Ended up with an asada taco, surf and turf, pastor and a Baja style battered fish taco. All of the tacos hit the spot, the guac is amazing and all of the meats were tender and full of flavor. There's a spicy pale green salsa that is a must. It has a slight kick from the habanero, but don't be afraid and start with a few dabs if necessary. I'll definitely be back, the taco Tuesday deal looks too good to pass up. The staff is great, friendly and accommodating.

Everything here is shrinking and I never see the owner here anymore. The kid that works here is…read moreokay but he's a little incompetent like most people under the age of 25 these days. The thing that irritates me the most is that I'm buying a bowl for $15 and now it's turned into a 6-in by three inch rectangle that's enough for a small child to eat. Why would you call it a bowl if you now shrink it into this tiny little container?? They never refill the carrots they're always mopping like an hour early which indicates to you that they're just not interested in taking more orders as they look semi annoyed that you're there. I don't like paying $15 or something that looks like a small child's meal that's ridiculous. I'm also not fond of eating out of black plastic which is upcycled electronics is not good to put hot food in.

SERVICE: Nice and friendly. I didn't see anyone there when I arrived so I had to wait a few minutes. While waiting I just decided to take some pictures for my YELP REVIEW. It was my first time there so I asked the nice lady what the choices for TACO TUESDAY were... POLLO ASADO: 10/10 Not many places offer pollo asado and the flavor was excellent! I ate this taco with a big smile on my face... CARNE ASADA: 9/10 I really like this one. It tastes really good with one of the red sauces. I added some grilled onions and chile and it really kicked my taste buds! CARNITAS: 8/10 The carnitas were pretty big compared to what I usually have. It was almost like brisket. It was a bit in the bland side... ESQUITE: 9/10 Street corn off the cob! It was really buttery and salty so I squeezed 2 pieces of lime and that really helped make it enjoyable... 3 ROLLED TACOS: 9/10 It was really good. I'm not sure if I got the chicken but, I think I prefer beef rolled tacos... AMBIANCE: Nice industrial style ambiance with a big screen TV. Everyone there was just minding their own business so drama here... HASTA LA VISTA EL TACO BAR!!!!!!

Received my delivery and WOW! This was probably the best taco salad I've ever had delivered…read more Normally, the beans and meat are at the bottom and the shell is super soggy. This was perfect! The lettuce was crisp; the carnitas massive; tomatoes cut small enough to fit in each bite; plenty of sour cream and cheese! The carnitas and beans were in the middle but the lettuce was still crunchy. Got a cheese enchilada plate and churros too. Hummm... The requested verde sauce? Not so good. It was described as med heat which we could not detect. The sauce was somewhat sweet and not good at all. Too bad. The beans were really good but the rice? Just ok. Prices? A bit more than a couple other Mexican restaurants I go to. That taco salad though? Really good. .

It has been nearly 4 years since I first reviewed Cotija's Taco Shop in Temecula. Although the menu…read morehas changed somewhat, the prices have increased, salsa is now packaged, the food and service is still 5 stars. We are also ordering different favorites from Cotija's. I love the Cotija's Burrito and the fish taco. The Cotija's Burrito is ample with plenty of carne asada, ham, bacon, cheese, grilled onions, pico and guacamole. The fish taco is very tasty and is only 1.99. The cheap Pete in me applauds the low price. The wife gravitates towards the Shrimp Burrito. She orders it without rice and seems to really enjoy it. She cuts it in half and it makes two meals for her. Cotija's has changed over the past 4 years but still rates in our top 5 for the areas best Mexican food. Note: this location is takeout only. There is no place to eat outside or inside unless of course you eat in your car/truck/SUV or motorcycle.
