Highly recommend. Very good food and they give plenty of salsa as requested. We had a large order and everyone loved their meal and the chips and salsa are good too. Nice family owned and pleasant people read more

Hands down, fantastic food! Best Mexican restaurant in cotati! Prices are super affordable and the food was delicious. The people who own this restaurant are the nicest sweetest people. We got the torta, gorditas and michaladas. It was so amazing! The al pastor is to die for and the service is amazing. I've grown up in this area, but didn't know this place was here. Highly recommend anything and everything here. The waitress we had was the sweetest person ever! read more

The place doesn't look like much from the outside because it blends in with the other businesses in the little area...but the food is hot, fresh and amazing! It wasn't busy when I was there, which was good for me, my order was up quickly. The restaraunt is clean, has a good selection and the guy working there was very nice. I think this is the best food I've gotten in Cotati read more

Deliciously authentic Mexican food, what more can I say? Family owned and run which adds to the charm, though the location can be easy to miss since it's located in a strip mall with lots of other businesses. They have some specialities like octopus and tongue which can be difficult to find sometimes. All around excellent experience, will definitely be back! read more

Cotija's Restaurant - Chile Relleno Burrito. Killer! - Mexican Near Me - Cotati, California

If I could get more than five stars I would. The food was excellently prepared. Manuel, our server was outstanding.

Absolutely my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! The food is always good, and the people are always welcoming. The service is exceptional, if something is wrong it's fixed swiftly and kindly. They love to make everything perfect, and I'm never disappointed. My favorite meal is the fajitas!! read more

This restaurant is incredible. The carnitas is the best we have found and we have tried it at a lot of Mexican restaurants. The family that runs it is incredibly sweet. The younger gentleman that always takes our order is so accommodating and always makes sure everything is perfect. They have a large selection of beers and a large menu. Don't miss this hidden gem! read more

We tried tacos Tuesday today. Food was ok but not great. The carnitas Taco was better than the chicken taco.

Home made tortilla tacos on the weekend are some of the best tacos I've ever had anywhere. The pollo asado is also one of the best tasting meats at any taqueria I've been to, crispy outside, tender and juicy inside, great flavor. Family owned and operated, good service, very nice people. Watch out though! They put lettuce in their burritos. read more

This place is awesome!!! Great service, tasty food and chill casual quiet atmosphere. We just love supporting this amazing family restaurant!!! Nothing but yummy yummy in my tummy!! read more

This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in the whole wide world. Recommend 10/10. There bathrooms always smell nice and their food is deliciously authentic. the cute waitress is just a plus read more

Awesome food and service. Friendly and helpful staff. Food is plentiful and delicious.

If I could give the zero Stars I would I went there with my son because my boy wanted a quesadilla and I decided to get myself some tacos we were there for an hour before he got his quesadilla 20 minutes later they brought me out and my tacos which were wrong I will never return to this place the service is horrible I recommend you go somewhere else this place is horrible with a capital H read more

This is such a great little place. I think it's family owned and they are REALLY nice and friendly and the food is GOOD.

This is a brand new restaurant in Cotati. The food is fantastic. i had menudo and it was the best I have had locally. handmade tortillas on the weekends. Support this local business. i will definitely be back. read more

See all

Ordered a burrito it was delicious! Probably the best burrito I've ever had. The meat and salsa that's on the burrito was mesmerizing. Hope to come back and order something else next time because everything looks so good. read more

I think the food was very, very good. I had a combination plate - a fresh chicken tamale with the tomatillo sauce (also known as chili verde sauce) and a chicken enchilada with a red sauce, and I think the food was flavored well. My boyfriend had the al pastor tamale with the red sauce, and a chicken enchilada with green sauce. He was happy with the al pastor tamale. I think I found another "go to" Mexican restaurant. We were the only customers in the restaurant so the food server was very, very attentive, the food was served in a timely manner and the food was delicious! I hope they will stay open because the competition is tough - Marvins, a local favorite, China Chef, another local favorite and SuperBurger, which moved from Penngrove, is in the plaza. read more

What a nice surprise to find such fresh & tasty food. The enchiladas combo was delicious. Husband had the fish tacos and ate every bite. We will return very soon! read more

Came in to eat on a weekday and was very surprised to see only one customer. I should have taken the hint. My friend and I decided to try it out anyways. The server came out with menus that had so many items crossed out it was hard to understand and unappealing. We ordered and then began to dig in to our chips and salsa. The salsa was so bland and watered down that I can honestly say I would have rather been consuming Taco Bell sauce packets. Our food was submerged in this horrendous sauce as well. The food itself was also bland and left us completely unsatisfied. The customer service could have been a lot better as well as we didn't get checked on and were in need of refills on our drinks. I have no idea how this place has such good reviews. read more

Came here for lunch with a friend on Taco Tuesday. You can't beat street tacos for $1.95. I had 2 tacos(shrimp and adobada) both very flavorful and tasty. You can tell that the tortillas are freshly house made.My friend had the cheese enchiladas and chicken tamale.Except they had to be reminded of the tamale and guacamole and brought him a beef tamale instead of the chicken that he ordered. I would not order a tamale again; there was too much masa and not enough filling. Overall a really dry tamale. Everything else tasty and you can't beat the prices there. I will go back and try other things on the menu. read more

The food is bomb and the people are sincere. I'm kind of a picky eater and they always customize my burritos without mistake. Because of the food, staff and their attention to detail I give 5 stars. read more

We LOVE this restaurant!!! I moved to Cotati from Petaluma about 2 years ago and honestly go here a couple times a month! Everyone in my family has something they love. If that wasn't enough, the family that owns and runs it is the nicest family I've ever met. They are so friendly and genuinly kind. Definitely a go to for us! read more

Manuel and Marina the owners, are extremely welcoming. Not to mention the food is great!

Bland, flavorless, uninspired food. Salsa with all the spiciness of canned tomato sauce.

Stopped in for an early dinner 1700 hrs., No customers in the place. Even with the down time some of the tables still needed wiped down but otherwise nice looking place. Ordered super burrito, chicken, tasted good nothing special just like any other burrito GF had cheese enchiladas, again nothing special just like any other taqueria. Iced tea tasted like powder mix tea. Priced normal and service was good. Nothing making this place standout from the rest. read more

This place is amazing.. have tried the tacos, birria( on weekends)- burritos, fajitas, shrimp plate, and all the salsas.. salsas are full of flavor and they ask if you want more and if you want a spicier salsa-- along with refried beans.. not only super delicious- every time but also very warm and friendly- local family owned( the mom comes out and says hello).. this is my go-to place now.. consistent and reasonably priced.. highly recommend read more

Food is always amazing! Highly recommend their grilled chicken tacos and carne Assad sopes!!

I stumbled upon this establishment while doin laundry one rainy afternoon. I went in and ordered 2 tacos, rice and frijoles to go. The girl working the counter asked if wanted salsa and onions on the side or normal. Even though I am a Latina I can't hang with spicy food, or green salsa. Well the tacos come pur and have green salsa. SINCE THAT DAY, I have changed me. I actually love their salsa. They food is delicious. It's a family run restraunt that deserves a pack on the back. read more

Delicious affordable Mexican food. My new favorite. Homemade tortillas on the weekends. They were amazing!! They bring you warm beans and cheese with your chips and salsa. Nice extra. Breakfast for two with leftovers for $14.50. read more

Regardless of people's previous reviews we tried this place out. It was 100 awesome service and great food. Nachos are not bland - if you think they are -you're probably use to eating Taco Bell read more

Awesome food and service. Kindest staff and good prices. Chile Relleno burrito Great place for din while you wait for your laundry next door. read more

My boyfriend and I gave this place a try on a Friday night. He ordered a carne asada super burrito and a fish taco and I went with a carnitas super burrito based on the hostess' recommendation. Chips and salsa were nothing special. Fish taco came ahead of the rest, wasn't great, tasted like they used frozen breaded fish. His burrito came next, an awkward 5 minutes before mine, which showed up with a side of guacamole because, as the waitress explained, the cook, "forgot to put it in." My boyfriend's burrito also lacked the guacamole that should have been on it, but he noted that it did have plenty of sour cream and the carne asada was quite tasty. My carnitas tasted, well, very porky. I didn't hate it, but if I ever go back to give this place another chance, I'll be ordering something different. read more

We found this Mexican restaurant thru Yelp. The parking lot was very busy. When we walked in on Wednesday evening at 5:30, there were no other customers seated. My wife said the reviews were good, let's try them. Some Mexican food is too 'hot' or spicy. Our food was presented with all the fixing in little containers so one could add more or less. I liked that option. The food was well prepared and very enjoyable. We be back again. Thank you read more

So happy to have discovered this restaurant. By far one of the better Mexican restaurants in Sonoma county and I've tried them all. From their tortillas to the beans, everything tastes just like my abuelita's cooking. Food is always out fast. Happy to see the family operating the business. If you're in the area definitely give them a try! read more

Im having some car problems. Had to leave my car at the gas station across the street while i wait for a tow. Got hungry walked across the street into this plaza and seen the restaraunt and it caught my attention. Walked got seated by a really nice waitress, very social and attentive not only to us but the other customers in the restaraunts. We ordered steak nacjos and they were delicous! The steak tastes great perfectly cooked and seasoned. But what i liked the most is that they really enjoy socializing with the customers. Turns out we're both from the same state in Mexico, so they have recipes i am familiar with. They even let me get a sample of their "caldo de camaron" which was delicous. Very good restaraunt. Im forsurely getting the caldo next time. read more

Personally my favorite Mexican restaurant in Sonoma county; the food is always fresh & savory, the service is always good, and the price you pay for the food you get in return is fair. They also have the best shrimp tacos, I don't know what kind of sorcery they do in the kitchen but it works. I find myself eating here every weekend. You should too! read more

I'm so glad I finally tried this new spot! ...savory bean dip and awesome fresh salsa with your chips! I had the chili relleno and enchilada, all on point, as was the homemade Horchata. Warm service and colorful, festive atmosphere, I'll be back soon try more of the varied menu:) read more

sadly, Cotija's has gone down hill. bland meat. soggy/wet tortillas in quesadillas. burritos that fall apart. sucks because they use to be good. read more

The food is fantastic and authentic. The service is great and you can tell they take pride in the food they make. One of the best places in town read more

The restaurant was a mess. I walked in seeing it looked dead only to get some food since I was doing laundry next door and was hungry. I ordered food to go and once I received my food I headed back to the laundromat to eat. The laundromat bathroom which I needed was out of order so I proceeded to head back to the restaurant next door which I ordered food from and explained the bathrooms next door was out of order and I could use theirs ... Not to mention I am in my late terms of pregnancy and they had denied me saying I needed to be a customer which I was. I proceed to showed them the receipt from my order and they still refused me. Worst place ever must explain why they are empty and the food was terrible at that too. read more
