#1 Fish Tacos in Orange County! Made to order, the fish is crispy on the outside and warm and tender on the inside. The flavor, the sauce, and the fresh cabbage topped with a splash of lime and salsa and it's perfect! Potato tacos are top tier! Crispy shell and an inch wide of potatoes topped with fresh lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes. So good! read more

Los Cotijas Fish Taco Shop is a true Tustin landmark. My family has been coming here for decades, and it's one of those places that never loses what made it special in the first place. The food is authentic, consistently fresh, and just plain delicious. Their fish tacos are the star for a reason! Perfectly cooked fish, great texture, and full of flavor. If you've seen their photos, trust me: they taste just as amazing as they look. There's a reason they've won Best Fish Taco in Orange County multiple times over the years. Service is always friendly and efficient, the environment is clean, and it still has that classic neighborhood spot feel. Bonus points for modernizing a bit as they used to be cash-only, but they now accept cards, which is super convenient. If you're looking for an authentic, no-frills fish taco spot with a long-standing reputation and loyal locals, this is it. I would absolutely recommend Los Cotijas to anyone in or visiting Orange County. read more

I am hooked on their taquito plate with guacamole. It is so fresh and crispy! The staff is all very kind and quick! I am dairy free and there was a misunderstanding with one of my orders and they were understanding and replaced my meal. I appreciate the consistent delicious food and keep coming back for more. read more

Sign on wall says the best fish tacos in OC. I like the fish tacos for sure. But I think the SHRIMP tacos are better. Plenty of shrimp. Great fresh flavor. Service is pretty fast. Clean location. We got 2 fish & 2 shrimp tacos. Side of chips. ... Bean and cheese burrito. Reg and a large Jamaica for UNDER $50. Pretty good deal for these days. read more

I very much enjoyed the fish tacos here, they're legit and far better than anything else in the area other than some food trucks I've had. The breading has a nice crunch that isn't greasy. The guacamole here is also fantastic and had a great amount of lime juice, very flavorful. A real hidden gem. read more

Fish tacos were quite good, everything else (carne asada, carnitas) were just ok. I would stick w fish tacos only, esp on Taco Tue (~$4 special). read more

Likes: + Yummy food. Love Taco Tuesdays. + Efficient service. Polite, helpful staff. + Ample parking, with various entrances and exits. + On Tue I got full off of $14 worth of food. + One advantage this shop has over my fav shop is that it has cabbage and tomatoes in each taco. Healthy ingredients. . The culinary style (of their fish taco) resembles DelTaco's fish tacos. . The TT tacos here are lil more expensive, at $3 - 3.50 per taco, vs the other shop's $1.50/taco. Granted, the taco here at Las Cotijas are a lil bigger. . At my fav Taco Tues shop, I get full off about the same worth of food. 8 smaller tacos $1.50 each. Gripes: - The cashier offers sauces, rather than having a sauce bar for you to pour your own. I prefer the sauce bar at my fav shop, cuz I can grab a lotta lemons, diced onions, and cucumber slices. - Also, the sauce packets here are hard to tear open. I should've used scissors every time. The other shop puts sauces in containers with lids that are easy to pop open. - The food tastes good, but for me the design is similar to DelTaco but slightly better, but not as good as Bandido. - Only four TT options: fish, asada, chicken, carnitas. My fav shop has ~10 options. read more

Fantastic fish tacos with great service - prices are right too - they use quality fish for their tacos and have other delightful dishes too!

This is Tustin's best kept secret and the best fish tacos, better than Hole Mole and Baja Fish tacos. The fish is seasoned well, they are big and easy to hold, the salsas are good too. We've been to the Anaheim location several times and didn't make the connection that this Low key shop was their sister restaurant. But that's not all. The beans are also really, really delicious. Don't just come in and order a taco. Please try the beans. Happy to make this our new go-to fish taco spot! I will come back and try their other items too...with a side of beans! read more

Had a two taco plate: potato & shrimp with rice and beans. Shrimp taco fell apart and didn't have any flavor. Only knew it was shrimp because I could see the shrimp. Potato taco was better because it was a hard shell and had a bit more flavor. I would not order either again. I should've just gone to Jalapeños.... read more

Rude money hungry staff with just average food. Nothing special, taco shop ambiance looking to charge you as much as they can.

This spot never disappoints! I've taken my whole family here and we all keep coming back for me. My two favorites are the crunchy beef tacos - better than any others I've had in a long time. And the beef or chicken enchilada which comes with a mole sauce that is absolutely delicious! Staff is always super friendly and happy to greet you. The spot is tiny but cozy good to come in and eat there or take your food to go. read more

If you're craving amazing fish tacos, look no further than Los Cotijas Taco Shop! I stopped by recently and ordered Combo #11, which comes with two fish tacos, rice, and beans--and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The fish tacos were perfectly crispy on the outside while staying flaky and tender inside. Each bite was packed with fresh flavors, topped with crisp cabbage, creamy sauce, and a squeeze of lime that brought everything together. The rice and beans were solid, adding to the authentic and satisfying meal. For the price, portion, and quality, this spot is unbeatable. It's the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more. If you're in the area and love Baja-style fish tacos, Los Cotijas is a must-try. Great Vibe and Service. read more

I dropped by here after looking for a bite to eat before heading to an event at the library nearby. I'm glad Yelp recommended this spot. Get the fish tacos. The fish tacos were a nice and hot and crispy. The tacos may seem a bit pricey at $4+ but they were stuffed and not small like street tacos. They were well worth the cost. I also had a carne asada taco. Service was quick and there is a lot of seating inside. There is also a small patio area out in front too if you want to sit there with a dog or something. read more

I have been here quite a few times as I frequent this shopping center often. To me, the food is kind of mediocre. I will say that the best day to go is on Taco Tuesday due to the deals. They have a good variety of tacos, but they do seem to run out of items early, especially on Taco Tuesday. I personally do not believe that these are the best fish tacos in the OC. They are good, but honestly, I feel like Holy Mole's and Taco Factory is both better than here. I will say that the taco size and portion are really big, hard to finish any more than about 3 tacos at one sitting. Also, their fish tacos only come fried, no grilled ones which can be a problem for those on a fried food restricted diet or just a personal preference. The Carne Asada was ok, the Al Pastor was a bit greasy to all 4 of us that went. Chicken was dry, overcooked. Beans tasted like out of a can and not fresh. I think that it is worth going to try this place for yourself. I don't think that you will find it to be mind-blowing good, but a decent casual stop if you are in the shopping center anyway. Hope you find this review useful. read more

I have been to both of their locations and let me tell you that the food is amazing at both locations. It is a family ran business which in my opinion makes it more welcoming and makes you feel right at home. Their red salsa is one of my favorite salsas that I've had to this day and their fish tacos are so delicious that it keeps me coming back for more. If you are in the area and are wanting to trying some delicious food Los Cotijas is the place. read more

Old school business of selling amazing street food! Tacos, the works! Service is great, chill and inviting ambiance Must try for sure

The food is always amazing and staff is great. Not a big fancy corporation but a mom and pop restaurant friendly atmosphere

Los Cotijas Taco Shop offers solid, no-frills fish tacos at a reasonable price. Conveniently located in the most familiar plaza (to me at least) in Tustin. The fried fish was crispy and light, holding up well against the toppings. The tacos included shredded cabbage, which added a nice crunch and balanced the richness of the fish and creamy sauce. The red salsa, provided in plastic packets, had a respectable kick. Two halves of like to squeeze until your heart is happy. The tortilla was larger than expected, tasting somewhere between corn and flour--almost burrito-like sized so clearly enjoyable. I had placed an order on the phone and swooped by to pick it up but the place was packed. I also got a horchata for the road which added to the tacos in a palate cleansing way. read more

We came here to see if the fish taco was really a contender for "Best Fish Taco" in Orange County... If it's not the best then it is very, very close to the best... nice crispy deep fried piece of fish in a soft tortilla with a wonderful sauce on top of lettuce and cabbage. Prices are totally reasonable and service is great. Definitely coming back to try other things on the menu! read more

I know this place is know for their fish tacos which are good! But. Nothing beats the taquitos. Their house red hot sauce is delicious!! They have 2 locations Tustin and garden grove service is Great service too. Can't wait to be back! read more

These are single handedly the best fish tacos i've had from a restaurant outside of Mexico period!!!! All the flavors are so well balanced and delicious I was so happy before and even happier after eating these! Service is fairly standard and the ambiance is that of a traditional mexican restaurant in your neighborhood, so it's really all about the flavor of the food. 10/10 so happy I came here !!! read more

This is a good place in old town Tustin. We came here from Laguna and the referral was not a joke. We arrived and the place was clean - I always find that as a good sign. The food was great. Their fish taco is soo good (good batter and not fishy) and the quesadilla is ok (it looks more like a burrito). Thank you for a great service read more

He even allowed us to sit few minutes to eat our tacos. The fish tacos are one of the best here but this review goes to Elijah for outstanding customer service he was very kind to my mom as well. Thank you so much we will be back for sure . Everything was spotless and clean . read more

I was happy to find out that there was a Los Cotijas Taco Shop #2 in Tustin. It's walking distance from where we live. We used to live in Orange and had to go to Garden Grove whenever we felt like fish tacos. They claim to be "OC's Best Fish Taco". At first, I thought it was delicious and good, but was unsure about it being the best. However, after living in Orange County for a while now and trying A LOT of taco places, I believe that "OC's Best Fish Taco" is an accurate statement. Whenever I have a hankering for fish tacos, I always come here. The beans are so tasty, too. Their rice is not my favorite, but it's edible and good. NOTE: This place is CASH ONLY. read more

Came here for dinner today. This isn't our first time here . We have been coming here for a while every so often. Today we were in the mood for fish tacos and they have some pretty darn good ones. I ordered the two fish taco combo with rice and beans and my son ordered the two sopes de carne asada combo with rice and beans and my husband ordered two shrimp tacos. My husband loved his tacos and my son enjoyed his sopes also. They have some pretty good salsa for their tacos. They also have some pretty good pickled carrots! Service here is always great ! The guys that helped us today were pretty friendly and attentive. The restaurant is nice and clean also. If you're in the mood for some good and legit Mexican food I would recommend this place. I will take a picture of my fish tacos next time. read more

Having lived in the area for 30 years, I feel remiss in never tasting "OC's Best Fish Taco" before. Hubby and I had lunch here recently. It's in a shopping center that we've dined at, but not this particular place. I tried the asada as well as the fish tacos. Both were tasty, generous portions. We'll be back! read more

"Oh no! What could improve?" -Yelp Everything could improve. My husband and I had lunch here yesterday, we were both really looking forward to it because we love Baja fish tacos. Needless to say it was a huge let down. The fish was bland, overly battered, and soggy. The "fish sauce" tasted like straight mayo, also bland and too overpowering. We also ordered a crunchy potato taco and my husband ordered a wet burrito. The crunchy taco was ok, also bland. It basically tasted like mashed potatoes with a lot of black pepper. The chicken in the burrito was bland and gamey. We wish they had an option for a basic red or green wet burrito instead of the mole option. Overall food was in desperate need of seasoning. Service was mediocre. It was our first time here so we were asking a few extra questions and the guy seemed to be very annoyed. There was no one in line behind us but he still seemed like he was in a rush. Ambiance is ok, a bit small but there is outside seating which is nice. After all of this, both my husband and I got really sick. Most likely food poisoning. This might be TMI but it started off with nausea, luckily neither of us threw up but then it gave us the sh*ts and horrible stomach aches. Still been dealing with it today. Hopefully it goes away by tomorrow. Super debilitating, it is now 4:40 pm as I'm writing this review, we had lunch yesterday around 1 pm and we've been in bed all day trying to sleep it off. We have not had any food today, just drank some pepto and had some water. Would not recommend anyone come here. Also! Definitely not the best fish taco in OC. read more

A fairly small taco shop with generous portions, and they do not lack in taste. I ordered one fish taco and my boyfriend ordered the taquito special just to try it out, and it was surprisingly filling! Their fish tacos and taquitos are pretty big in size, they both have a nice crunch when you bite into them, and something about their crema tied so well with our food. Will definitely return to this spot. read more

Small taco shop that's easy to miss since it's tucked in the back corner of a plaza. First time trying fish tacos at this location and they were ok. I had the #11 combo, 2 fish tacos, rice, beans, and chips for ~$13. Feels pricey for what I got, and did not include a drink. The tacos were ok, not bad but not great. Inside there were four small tables, no self-serve salsa bar, and it's cash only unfortunately. With all the minor inconveniences combined, I would skip this place. read more
