    Stone

    Horrible costumer service! Employees give a bad attitude, they can't never hear you from that drive through speaker, This place need so much more improvement after many years of serving costumers. DON'T come to this place!!!! I had bad experience, cashier was rude and + found a stone in my asada fries that exact day, It's crazy how after having a bad service I found this in my food, I can't trust this place or food anymore, this place is bad. They have lost 1 more costumer.

    Cotija's Taco Shop is located in Colton just west of the 215 on Washington. This little Mexican restaurant is a stand-alone shop offering a menu of items from burritos, tacos, enchiladas, and many others. It looks like it used to be a Taco Bell. While this restaurant is on the smaller side, they do have plenty of seating inside and in their outdoor patio (covered). They also have a drive-thru where you can place orders. I opted to dine inside since I wasn't familiar with their menu. I came with a party of 6 and we ordered a variety of items from their menu. * Chips and salsa: Crunchy and still warm. It paired well with the spicy red salsa or the milder green salsa. * Bean and Cheese Burrito: I can tell they make their tortillas fresh here. The flour tortilla was nice and thin with a good chew to it. The beans were flavorful and not overly salted like other places. The cheese they used were the standard shredded cheese you'd find at the grocery store. The burrito was huge so it didn't hold up well to the runnier white beans. Still delicious. 8/10 * Cotija Burrito - If a menu item has the restaurant's name in it, you definitely have to order it and that's what we did. It was a great choice because this burrito was absolutely delicious! The carne asada was seasoned perfectly and it complemented all the ingredients that went in with it. It was so so good! We ordered a few of these to bring back to each of our homes. 10/10 * Mexican Milk Jello - I like it to be a little firmer but it still had good flavor. 7/10 * Horchata - Delicious with the food we ate. 8/10 The young lady who helped us with our large order of food and drinks (and to go orders) was patient and friendly. They have parking spaces around the building but be careful for cars that are entering and exiting as you are parking. Overall, I liked Cotija's Taco Shop: The atmosphere was colorful and vibrant, and inviting; the customer service was good; and the food was delicious! I definitely will be back again the next time I'm in the area.

    On my way home from work and Cotija's is conveniently located on and off the 215Fwy. It is in a stand alone building. There's plenty of seating inside and out. I went through the drive through. Lady was very patiently waiting for me to decide what I wanted to order. I settled for the wet veggie burrito. Person at the drive through was very helpful. Offered sauce for my to go order. The bag was big for one burrito! The burrito itself was huge. Unfortunately, the wet burrito made a mess all over the bag and my car. There's enough to feed 2 people. The burrito was hot on the outside and cold on the inside. Nonetheless it was very good.

    4 years of college in Riverside, this has been the Mexican food spot of choice every time. The entire menu is solid (have tried most of it). Now all 4 guys in the photo are graduating and we will miss this place. Ruby joined us for some goodbyes, she had been taking our order pretty much every time we ate at Cotijas. The food is tasty and not too expensive. Give them a try, you will love the food and the staff :)

    Inside the restaurant takes you back to the old traditional Mexican restaurants from the 90s. Food is very affordable with a large menu of options. The rolled tacos had plenty of guacamole cream & fresh grated cheese that makes each bite enjoyable.
