Best chili verde I've ever had. Friendly people, great food, and a serve yourself fountain drink. Excellent. Five stars

I'm at Cotijas at least once a week (honestly, sometimes more!) and they never miss. I've tried a huge portion of the menu at this point and everything has been incredible, but I have to give a special shout-out to my new favorite: the Steak and Chicken Fajitas. The flavors are always spot on, the portions are generous, and the quality is consistent every single time. If you're in Colton and looking for a go-to spot, this is it. Check out the photo of my latest meal, it tastes even better than it looks! read more

Cotija's Taco Shop - Menu 5/24/2024 - Mexican Near Me - Colton, California

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. read more

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. read more

It was empty when i got there (sometimes a red flag) but a few more lunch crowd came in afterwards... you know a place is fire by a few key indicators. This place had them all! Holy goodness that Torta left an indention in my soul and has taken the top spot of all Tortas ever eaten. I will be back, but after a long nap. Do not sleep on this place! read more

Went through the drive-thru so I dont really know what its like inside. Service was what you'd expect for a drive-thru, order pay and whatever. I got my usual Vegetarian Burrito, but I wasnt expecting it to be the size of both of my fists stacked on top of each other. The quantity doesnt shirk the quality and is the best Vegetarian burrito that ive had in the local area with a Drive-thru. Would definitely come back again. read more

Food is okay. It's expensive as well for what it is. I ordered a burrito and it was falling apart. Very hard to eat.

Great taquitos and crunchy tacos. Salsa had good flavor and not too spicy. I will definitely be back

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 :) read more

Nice sized burritos and soft tacos (the regular ones and not the street tacos). Expecting rice and beans with your burrito? Not going find it here. Only meat, pico de gallo and guacamole the way it should be. Only negative is they have a 3% credit card surcharge that they pass along to you which the cashier did not mention when I was paying. read more

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. read more

Uhm all I have to say is.. if you want a big wet burrito come here. It's huge! Came here as a recommendation of friends who love this place. The salsa really adds more flavor don't be afraid to use some. The establishment gives that authentic feel of old school. What stood out during our visit was this ships captain. The service was an example of exactly what should happen when a situation occurs. There was another customer who was a little livid. The manager stepped in right away and handled the problem with a calming ease. It was such an outstanding testament of integrity. Salsa check, giant food check, great manager check! read more

IYKYK... local Mexican spot in Colton for burritos and quesadillas. They do have a drive-thru as well, but it's easier/faster if you go in to the establishment. Parking: ample We have always gotten their burritos here and have not been disappointed. Also, if you go inside the restaurant, you can get ample sauces and limes. They have a wide selection of sauces- red, green, salsa. They also have limes, lemons, and jalapenos. read more

first time visitor, a bit overwhelmed with the drivethru menu, hard to read the choices in time to order. However, I went with the standard option, bean and cheese burrito and rolled beef tacos w/ guac. EXCELLENT shredded beef, guac and the beans were great. I will study the above pictured menu and be better prepared on my return visits, which will be frequent!!! read more

Local spot in Colton that used to be an old Taco Bell turned into a taco spot with a lot of options. I wanted to grab food to eat at home so I used the drive thru. The menu had a lot of options and it looked like the California burrito was really popular so I got their special that also came with 3 rolled tacos for $18.99 including a drink. The service seemed chill and was straight forward when it came to their options. Ambiance seemed a little empty when I saw through the window a couple people sitting down. Overall it seems like a family style restaurant and the food was okay but not crazy enough where I crave it to come back. read more

Came here thinking it was going to be good because of the reviews boy was I wrong. Never go based off reviews.

So I only really went through the Drive Thru so I don't know what it's like inside. I order what I usually get. I don't really need to check the menu if they have this 9/10 times. A Vegetarian Burrito, Quesadilla and Horchata. No one in the drive thru and it went by really fast. Got up to the window asked for some Salsa Verde and I had my food relatively quickly after I got my card back. I usually expect large portions from places like this, but I wasn't expecting how thick the burrito and quesadilla was going to be. Absolutely delicious and everything else tastes great. I'm definitely going here again whenever I'm driving through the area. read more

Oh my God. Quality food. Best burrito and Mexican food in town. Service is classy with friendly home style food. The employees treat you like family.

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with a friendly vibe, look no further. Cotijas taco shop is a must-try! read more

First off, the staff was very nice but the food itself was not very good. Everything seemed to not have much seasoning, and the price was good for the amount of food, but the food was not good enough for me to want to eat all of it. The location is also in a random plaza along the freeway so might be good for a pitstop when driving through but I do not know if I would go out of my way or recommend here beyond that. read more

I stopped here to grab a quick bite and while the service was great, the food was sub-par. I ordered the Chile Arellano Enchilada combo, which was soggy and unflavorful. The cheese wasn't melted as well, but nonetheless it wasn't horrible. For $13 this wasn't what I was expecting. read more
