This Cotixan is open 24/7, its near our home so its very convenient every time we crave Tacos, Burritos, or Fajitas, it's just there to satisfy our cravings. Food always comes in big portions here, and good seasonings. Despite many orders, the food here comes out fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of space to sit at too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I come here often coz their are next to a Gasoline station next to where I get my Gas. The Staff are nice, they help you with the menu when you look undecided which one to get, like literally to extend they will tell you each about what's to expect on the food in the menu. Parking is easy, with a big space for parking. read more

I used to come here a lot, growing up in Clairemont. Big $6 burritos with good meat in the 90s. I love the pollo asada here. It's not how most people season it, no paprika, but really good flavor. I think they may chop and velvet chicken thighs because they are usually plump and juicy. Today was a disappointment. It was $14 for a big pollo asada burrito, but the meat was dry and barely warm. Usually juice is dripping down your hand by the end. The positive was that the staff is nice and the restaurant was clean. People enjoy the salsa bar. read more

I ordered a shrimp burrito, I asked if the shrimp is clean ( deveined) , the girl says yes. Well it's was pretty bad because the shrimp is cooked before putting the burrito together and they cook the shrimp twice! Needless to say if tasted nasty and the cheese was like this melted tough hard to chew cheese!! And some kind of pico de gallio read more

5 star shrimp, 5 star california burrito, 5 star supreme veggie burrito (add shrimp or add carne). This place has been consistently good for about 40 years. I recommend switch the french fries for potatoes in your burritos. read more

Decided to give this place a try as it's my bf's favorite steak and egg burrito by far, and it definitely did not disappoint The serving size is HUGE, the steak was so juicy and beautifully seasoned, and the hash brown we added to the burrito added the perfect crunch with each bite. The salsa was also great! Not too spicy and added a little kick to the burrito. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was fast and there's plenty of seating options!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend and would definitely return when I'm craving a steak and egg burrito read more

The food is fine nothing special but I've been too many taco shops. Never was I charged $40 for 5- rolled tacos. Come to find out they were regular tacos then I wanted sour cream on my tacos not guacamole that didn't matter. They're short fat lady who helped me give me guacamole anyway I don't think she bothered to correct the order. read more

I am from San Diego and this place is a staple!! Although there a a few changes over the years the food is still on point. I don't know if you would find this place as a visitor but if you do you will quickly become a regular visitor!! The Mexican food here is authentic, quick, and off the chain delicious. We had the rolled tacos with quac (staple) and carne asada burrito (another staple) which we will grab another for the plane ride home!! (And we did) They are open 24 hours and that makes it convenient when you arrive hungry at 2 am. If you are new to the area, San Diego has amazing food and the Mexican food is as authentic as it gets! read more

11/17/2024 Still good as when I was in college. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location has been updated a lot since then so it's much nicer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The rolled tacos were excellent and my favorite carne asada burrito is still nice and juicy. It's a great takeout and the food comes out quick. The best is their red hot sauce it makes their food even better. read more

A place that can do both breakfast burritos and late night snacks--the fries gave Mcdonald's a run for their money: thin, crisp. Plus these are smothered with avo and sour cream. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wouldn't want anything besides overhead lighting for post midnight gruel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Affordable too. Bring a friend though--the fries are hefty. read more

This place has been here for YEARS and their red-orangey hot sauce is my fave of all places. Stopped in for lunch and we shared the carne asada fries (added lettuce) with a side of chips. They don't skimp out on the carne, which is a huge plus. It's a plate. Service is fine - it's a taco shop. You order at the counter and pick up your own food, not much to say about the customer service. They're not super friendly and also not super rude - just there to take your order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat in their outdoor patio. It was a beautiful day out and although their patio faces the street and at a traffic light, the stopped and passing cars don't bother me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

It's an unassuming place next to a gas station. We needed a quick meal before the airport and my son says they make very good burritos. When we entered the gentleman behind the counter was busy with another order but he apologized and said he would be right with us. We ordered the carne asada and al pastor burritos. The carne asada burrito had steak and guacamole ($11.50). The al pastor's meat is smokey and spicy ($12.30) and also paired with guacamole inside. Both were hefty and delicious. I liked their green salsa. It was a filling meal. read more

Service was pretty standard when we came here but the quality of the food at this place is 10/10. I got the carne asada fries and wet burrito with carnitas. The wet burrito was good, but I thought the carnitas were alittle bit on the dry side. I feel like if it was a bit more moist, it would've been perfect. For around $10 for both items, it was huge. Portions are really worth your bang for the buck. Carne asada fries were plentiful and literally kept me full for atleast 2 days. Meat was not tough at all. Would definitely recommend you guys to come here since everything was worth. read more

BEST Mexican food in ALL OF SAN DIEGO! I recommend going in the evening or late at night, that's when the food quality is not only 10000/10 but the cashiers will get your order right every time.. RICE, FRIES, TACOS (rolled or hard)!!! and their BEEF so gooooood would eat every fkn day. not to even mention their orange salsa, BEST SALSA EVER read more

still the best. the nostalgia hits so hard here, it's unbelievable. red sauce is the bar for spicy creamy stuff; burritos stay together -- quality is high. don't care what anyone else thinks, still as good as it was 25 years ago and counting not sure? california burrito. easy, classic. thank you so much read more

How have I not reviewed this place? This is our staple whenever we visit SD now. When I lived in the area, I'd come here at least once a week and eat 2 california burritos in one sitting. This was a weekly diet for me as a college student. Especially since they're open 24 hours and you could hit it up after the clubs. I'm far from those late night college days, but they continue to offer my favorite SD burrito flavors and I think it begins with their salsa. Somewhat creamy with the perfect amount of kick. Drench every bite in it and everything just comes together. California Burrito (5): Call me biased but this place put california burritos on the map for me. Back around 2001 is when we discovered this place, and this is what we got. Rolled Tacos (4): My wife loves these. They do a good job. Always crispy and loaded with guac and cheese. Again, throw that salsa on there and its pretty good. Krispy Chicken Burrito (4): This one is pretty new to me but my son wanted it so we decided to try it. It was pretty good too. You guessed it, it has krispy chicken inside. Fish burrito (5): not my first choice, and honestly I wouldn't have even tried it but my wife ordered it. I must admit, it was really good. Moist and flavorful fish. And I think they just do burrito's well here. Again, throw their salsa on there and its another winner. To this day, I still call this place Coti's. It does bring back a lot of college memories. It did go a little downhill for a few years and we started venturing out to other taco shops. Our most recent visit though was on point so they're back on the map in my book as one of my go-to burrito spots in SD. read more

Best California Burrito! I grew up in Daygo & every time I visit that's my first stop. CA burritos are the best in SoCal and suck everywhere else. Service is fast and they're nice people! I ordered 5 CA burritos and got them in 10-15mins. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a chill spot you can dine inside indoor and outdoor on their patio which is covered if it's cold.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The best part is that it's open 24hrs! Thanks guys!! I appreciate that you set my standard for burritos so high lol read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Wonderful and nice people, great atmosphere and plentiful parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, the food is not that good and the price is high, which are the most important parts about eating out.

This place just keeps falling further. With the prices as they are, at least the customer service could be good but even that sucked. The cashier was a jerk- food was mediocre at best, portions mediocre, food barely warm, their guacamole is not real guac- it's like a guac sauce. I like to support local but I left not even feeling good about that. read more

I got the fish tacos and the birria plate. The fish taco as pictured was huge, and the fish was perfectly crispy, but flaky. The rice and beans on the birria plate were also delicious. Unfortunately, the birria was a bit fatty, and was not very flavorful. For fast food, it was also a bit pricey $25. The cashier was very nice and I'd come back to try another menu item! read more

We were driving from Palm Springs to SD and my fiancé was really eager to go here since he loved their Cotixan fries the last time he was here. We had dinner planned that night so we only got the fries. I must say, I understand him now! The fries were crispy. The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned. They had enough sour cream, guacamole and cheese. You don't need to add any sauce unless you want some hot sauce or salsa. I do wish the cheese was melted a bit more but I didn't really care about it that much since the fries and meat were so good! read more

Got a chance to visit the old college stomping grounds and stopped by in the morning (for once). Had many good nights with friends enjoying late night meals! ALWAYS eat with their delicious orange sauce. They have a sauce bar now instead of the bottles of sauce. I had the California Burrito and it was just how I remembered it (kinda)! Maybe I forgot but it seemed to be such a gigantic burrito this time. Stuffed with carne asada, french fries, sour cream and tomatoes, it is the meal I crave most when I return to SD. Try to make this a stop for every visit back to SD, thanks for the consistent quality and nostalgia! read more

The attitude of the dude behind the counter was terrible. I used to frequent this place when I was a SD Resident. Tonight (4/17/25, 7:55pm) was my 1st time back in SD in almost 6 years so I was excited to come here. Absolute horrible service when I greeted him, his communication with me during the order, cutting me off as i was telling him what i wanted. I tried grabbing my order from him, implying to him I didn't need a tray but he wouldn't let me take it. Just had to wait for him to turn his back to grab it off the tray. Absolute d-bag read more

It's been forever since I've been to this location but my friend and I took the drive for some carne Asada fries and because I looooove their red hot sauce! They have a very large menu with so many options to choose from! Large parking space and many outdoor and indoor tables! Unfortunately they don't have the little salsa bar anymore( prob due to covid) so you must ask for hot sauce ! I was very satisfied with my food! They have always remained consistent! read more

i honestly didn't think much of the food at Cotixan. I ate it and it was fine, but I don't feel a need to come back. All the food tasted similar to what you'd get at any other regular Mexican food place. My friend and I got: *Birria tacos - there were a lot of juices, but the taste was a bit bland *Chimichanga - essentially a deep-fried burrito, this was my favorite, I think everything worked well here and the frying kept all the flavor inside. It also came with guac, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce *Shrimp burrito - decent, subtle flavors, it was a good amount of whole shrimp and also a lot of rice *Cotixan fries - massive box of fries and carne asada that were good to try, but I wouldn't get again read more
