Great food, clean dining area. Reminds me of being in Mexico! I spent 15 years building a house in La Bufadora, and dined in lots of different restaurants, Cotixan is one of the best. read more

This place is basic. Its good if you are hungry and everything is closed. Its bad if youre not stuck and can eat elsewhere lol They have potatoe taquitos that taste like nothing. I was glad they were not spicy and they had guac but man.. its borderline taco bell! That said, they have a drive through which is a plus AND they can add avocado slices not just guacamole..! Which is becoming more rare So all in all i think it works but i wouldn't gravitate here if i could go elsewhere for Mexican read more

We were driving back from the airport at night it was about 11pm and one of us was hungry. Hard to find something open late. Even harder to find something good. Even rarer to find something were people are cool! This was it. I love it. The food was yummy. I passed by so many times, now I'm glad I stopped. They got good hot sauce! read more

Real good Mexican food. Carne asada is the ticket. But I'm sure the other stuff is just as great. Go get some!

Nachos Supreme- Asada " 10/10 the chips were delicious, quality tortillas very crunchy. Chile Relleno Burrito " 10/10 it was simply delicious, excellent cheese ratio. Price: Affordable about $23 for both. read more

First off, they are open 24/7, which should give them an extra star. The food is fresh and tasty. We prefer going through the drive-through, since the inside of the restaurant is old, dingy and run down. That is the only reason why they didn't get 5 stars. But the food more than makes up for it! read more

This is our go-to place for Mexican food. Everything is so fresh. Especially the tortilla chips.

Found mold on our tortillas. Called when we found it at home. I already had eaten mine and it tasted a bit odd. Then my wife found the mold. They didn't believe me. Never going here again read more

Cotixan Mexican Food - Green mold on tortillas. Called and they told me they get fresh ones daily...so they didn't believe me. Never going here again. - Mexican Near Me - Encinitas, California

I always stop by here whenever I'm in the area. I enjoy the price + taste of the shrimp/meat burritos! I always go through the driver through. read more

I have never written a review for this establishment because it's always "good news". I almost always get the order-in Sausage Breakfast Burrito with sour cream and it's very consistent, delicious (I actually like the beans which I normally wouldnt get in a BB), and their hot sauce is one of the best around. I've purchase this countless (maybe even hundreds) of times and never once regretted it. And for those that care, they don't have an upfront tip request when paying via credit card which I have to say, in this environment, I actually appreciate. I also like that you can fill your own hot sauce and not have to ask for more. I feel like the low reviews are based on to-go orders and maybe the fact many are late night. Not once have I ever had a problem eatin-in during the day, food is always good, and man I could take shots of their red/orange sauce. There's got to be some sort of correlation with late-nighters and bad reviews because it is one of the most legit taco shops around! read more

In my opinion my favorite place for surf and turf burritos . The drive through is the best way to get my food a move on. Service is good too. read more

Just don't!!!! CAUTION! customer service of person taking my drive thru order and giving me my order was awful!!! First and last time coming here, was expecting something better considering they are located in Encinitas. I didn't even want to eat my food and couldn't enjoy it and they also messed up my order. read more

Oh wow! Stumbled across this place while out of my area. Actually stopped to use the bathroom and looked up ratings on Yelp. Not sure why reviews aren't higher because it was seriously GOOD! A lot of food, very generous portions. Got the battered fish burrito, shredded beef tacos, chicken soup and everything was GREAT!! Just wish it was in my area. read more

I was craving some street style tacos so I went through the drive thru and ordered a plate with two al pastor tacos. After I paid for my order, I asked if they have some spicy carrots that are usually complimentary at the salsa bar and the lady at the drive thru said they're an extra $.86. ok- didn't really want to run my credit card again for a condiment. My plate was full- very generous portions for the hungry appetite. The al pastor tacos were heaped with small bit of orange meat, topped with an avocado sauce. So far, so good. My expectations for al pastor tacos are generally having juicy chunks of marinated pork with a slightly sweet/spicy chile sauce that is topped off with a few bits of pineapple to complement the sauce's flavor. This was neither- the pork was dry and covered in a dry spice powder that did not resemble the flavor profile I would expect for al pastor. And it was incredibly salty to the point that I had no desire to finish the tacos. And the pineapple was nowhere to be found! ;-( Cotixan - you guys need to get your game on if you're going to advertise al pastor on your menu! read more

Consistently screwing up my order and this last one is the last time I go here. When you ask what's in a shrimp burrito and you go home and it includes veggies that wasn't told upon ordering is annoying and the latest f@@@ up's by this place. I don't recommend this establishment. read more

I got the Carne Asada fries- I asked the cashier what comes on it he listed carne asada, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. Failed to mention pico de gallo because I would've asked to have that removed. It cost $15 I feel like I've had better for cheaper. There could've been more carne asada and the guac is watered down like everyone says. This wasn't bad but not my first choice. Appreciate that they have a drive thru, open 24 hours, tried to put a lot of fries in the container. read more

Was in the area thought I'd stop by for a Cali burrito. Haha joke was on me waited 20 mins and there was only one car in front of me? Paid nearly 12 dollars for a basic Cali burrito insanely small for the price. Would never recommend this place nor will I come back. Posted pictures of a so called burrito that was all tortilla. Flavor was decent salsa on point. Worst burrito size I've ever had pictures to justify read more

We ordered this place delivery, we were very excited to have some nice Mexican food. They do not annotate that the "Al pastor tacos" are literally ONE taco with a LB of al pastor.. really... for the price... where are the tacos?? Both drinks were flat including the horchata. So overall just disappointment. read more

Love this so. Cal taco shop. Huge burritos and the lady who takes your order is priceless

$8 Thin burrito. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito with no cheese but add extra rice. My body does not agree with dairy and I'm trying to intake more rice. It's like I'm looking forward to lunch and getting a quality burrito in during my shift, so I order a extra rice and bean burrito thinking it would be Two parts rice and one part beans. Instead I get some beans and about a table spoon of rice. I almost went back to ask for more rice, but it seems petty. So I'm curious, is this what extra rice looks like? I'm just not going back, third time trying to get a simple rice burrito with some beans. Thanks guys but no thanks. Still hungry and out $8 bucks (7 bucks plus tip) read more

The food is pretty good but customer service is very bad. I don't think I've ever come here and had my order completed correctly and if you ask them to fix your order, you get bitched at and they blame you for saying it wrong. Even though we didn't. A lot of this can be solved if they repeat the order back to you. Guy at the window always has an attitude. read more

Not only was the food wrong the hot sauce in the bag was opened. Instead of jualpenos I got a container of carrots I threw those away don't want them. The burrito was soggy. The food almost ripped the bag open should have been in 2 bags not just one. This is the third time our food has been wrong. Haven't complained until now. Honestly I wish there was a way to give negative stars I know now we will never come back read more

My wife said, "They have the best breakfast burritos, ever!" Boy was she wrong!!! My wife dragged me to this place for a breakfast burrito. I already have a "go to" place for a BB. I acquiesced and went yesterday. It was terrible!! I got an egg, sausage, and cheese BB. She ordered a chorizo, egg, and cheese BB. My BB tasted like they dumped a salt shaker into the BB with one sausage that was cut in half. AWFUL. My wife was served a horrifically burnt chorizo BB. There is soooo much good Mexican food in Encinitas. Skip this place!!! read more

As I was leaving, walking across the parking lot, my long wide bottomed pants caused me to trip and fall on our order of guacamole and chips. The gentleman working behind the counter came out to see if I needed assistance. He then insisted on replacing my order of guac and chips for free. Food is great and staff goes above and beyond. read more

Never leave bad reviews, we loved the food, but customer service is...terrible. The guy at the drive through was trying to act tough and stare us down. Gave my husband a dirty look, when he was being very friendly. I understand people can be annoying and everyone has their bad days but it's not acceptable. Loved the food but probably won't come back because of that experience. Get new staff that aren't so triggered. read more

My husband and I came and he got the enchiladas combo and I got five chicken rolled tacos! Their rolled tacos are the best I have ever had, they don't skimp on any of the toppings and portions were great for the value. Service was pretty quick and the food only took what seemed like 5 minutes and everything was fresh! We will be back read more

8.3/10. Solid food and it is great for being 24 hours. One of the best Mexican food options in Encinitas

This place is awesome! The taco is the size of 4! The salsas are great and the flavor is fantastic. If your super hungry buy 2 tacos you'll be more than fine with only one Taco! You have too use the fork to eat the rest of the meat because they are so massive and delicious! read more

Their lack of respect towards their customers is what is worse. They think just because I speak English to them I do not understand what they say in the back. They make rude comments about you loudly in Spanish while baiting and switching prices from $8 to $14 just by asking what kind of tortilla you want. This is the worst restaurant you could ever spend money on only because of the loudmouth cooks, meanwhile the cashiers who laugh along at least deserve better than one star. Too bad the cooks are too busy thinking we do not know Spanish - extremely disappointing as I live around the corner. I will tell all I know what kind of scam this place has become. Also their 'Birria' is flavorless and tastes like paper. Truly disgusting - even the East Coast does better than this - the worst Mexican food (worse than, yes, Taco Bell) I've ever had and that says something. read more

You might as well go to Taco Bell the burritos are about the same size, but these cost about 12 bucks lol, my favorite though was the new exploding hot sauces, they were all going bad in the little containers so each one you opened splattered everywhere right in your face With so many Mexican places around I'm surprised this place is even in business, The beans taste like good old canned Rosarita. My California burrito had half frozen fries in it, Just save yourself a few dollars and go a quarter mile down the street to any other Mexican place and you will thank me read more

I have been coming here for years. You have progressively lowered the quality of both your food and your service. Rolled tacos always cold and soggy, burritos the same. Cold costumer Service. Insult to the Mexican food culture. We take pride in the quality of food served. I can no longer support Cotixan. Might be worst then taco bell now a days. Quite disappointing. What happened to all the good Mexican food. read more

Been here 3 times and they mess up my food every time. They talk back when you tell them they made your order wrong. Awful service.

Fast and flavorful! We love the fish burrito, plentiful and tasty. Best in Encinitas. We also love the breakfast burrito with sausage. Goes great with the orange spicy salsa. The menudo is good and there's lots of it. Adding lime makes it even more tasty for those into authentic comfort food. Their new soda machine is awesome. read more

4 Stars for the food, subtract 3 stars for the customer service. Person in the drive thru was impatient and short sighted, and I understood it was late but it's a 24 hour business. Sack up and find a different job if you don't want to be working at that hour. Shake my head [in disappointment]. read more
