    Breakfast burrito without potatoes and grilled fior crispiness!  Yum!
    Ben C.

    Went in for a late night breakfast burrito and it was awesome. The gentleman working there at 2:30 AM was awesome and so friendly!! Its rare to go to a 24 hour mexican restaurant where they are not only friendly, but the food was on point.. I want to give a shout out for this and definitely have my late night burrito spot!

    Packed and sealed  hot sauces.
    Ed P.

    The rolled taco are high quality meat and the confidence in eating sealed hot sauces is comforting in this age of germ transmission! Great for thought and for this reason this will be my new go to for Mexican food.

    Beef rolled tacos with cheese and guacamole. They don't skimp on the cheese and guac.

    Aloha all! It's Taco time and I'm back at Cotixan Mexican Food for 5 rolled tacos with cheese and guacamole. Cotixan doesn't skimp on cheese and guacamole and the beef is always tender and juicy. Add some red or green sauce to elevate the flavor. It's always a great meal for lunch or dinner.

    My favorite spot for carne asada fries! Love the fact that it is drive thru! This time I ordered the combo plates and they were delicious. I def prefer the carnitas over carne asada. It also comes with 3 tortillas. I was able to make 3 tacos and still have half the box left to eat. The people are always super nice and friendly. I don't usually go inside but they do have large table seatings and salsa bar. I always recommend this place when people ask where to go.

    Still best mex food and value. See menu board prices as of 7/2025 I drive past 3 mex restaurants to go here. Pros: all burritos are good and large! Staff friendly. Orange mex salsa is the bomb! Cons: nada.....

    A must have!!!

    A restaurant I visit once a month. Try it, you'll like it. And it won't break the bank!

    Birria Taco
    Trevor T.

    Always reliable and great drive thru. They are open 24/7 which is so clutch. I ordered the birria taco which was not the best birria taco ever, but definitely satisfied my craving. Also ordered the super breakfast burrito which is MASSIVE!!! Comes with bacon, eggs, potatoes, beans, and cheese. You can't go wrong at Cotixan. Would rather support this business then the giant food chains on El Camino Real like Chipotle, McDonald's, and Chic-Fil-A. Use cash and help this business out!

    Carnitas plate, chips & salsa & hard taco shredded beef. Corn & flour tortillas so good remind me of my grandmother's food. Thank you
    Spring K.

    This place is a hidden gem plenty of food that's incredible. I plan to come here every time I'm in town, my new favorite place. You won't be disappointed, my favorite is the sear on the carnitas with lil bits of fat make it ridiculously yummy!!!

    Rolled tacos
    Christina M.

    Still my favorite north county Mexican food spot! If you want rolled tacos w actual tasty beef in them, come here. My husband loves the sift and turf burrito, he just tried it and was like dang this is good! The staff is ALWAYS friendly and kind. We love coming through here!

    Watch out and look at your charges on your credit card. I got charged $90.50 for 3 rolled tacos that should have been $7.94.

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

The parking lot has plentiful parking but was completely full as I was leaving around 12pm. There were tons of order pick-up spots and 20-minute max parking spots that help with the flow. The restaurant was impeccably clean with a growing line of lunch-goers. The workers were very efficient and the line moved quickly. I also noticed the apparent owner/manager talking to regulars and greeting customers as they walked in, which I really liked to see! I was served my order to-go in less than 10 minutes and ended up unexpectedly using the other 10 minutes after taking my first bite--after that it was hard to stop. The burrito was the perfect size (not too large and not too small). My original breakfast burrito was wrapped in a fresh hand-made tortilla filled with fluffy eggs, the perfect amount of bacon, cheese, soft fresh potatoes, topped with the avocado salsa verde which went perfectly with everything. I even ended up sipping the salsa (it was that good) between bites of the burrito. I was also blown away by the clean and fully stocked salsa bar. So many options (including non-spicy ones for those with gastric limitations too!) and they even offered radishes, carrots, and pickled onions individually wrapped with care. Everything tasted fresh and home-made. After 7 years being away from San Diego, Los Tacos delivered exactly what I had been missing. This location really blew me away and I will definitely be back to see what else it has to offer.

Got to the restaurant and the hosts were too busy messing around to properly greet us. Once I got their attention I let them know we were there and they said they'd have us seated shortly. A LITERAL HOUR later we got a table. Seeing that it took so long to be sat (well past our expected duration) you'd think service would be fast! Nope. Our server didn't check in with us for over 10 minutes. Next (finally) came the chips. We put in our entire order as soon as we could (as it was now almost 1.5 hours past when we thought we would be eating). Drinks came in random shifts, waters were NOT refilled. Now, to be 100% honest, the food was GREAT! Fantastic quality, great selection, even our pickiest kid was happy with her meal. So I do give credit where credit is due. The food was fantastic. But the customer service was incredibly lacking. Visit at your own risk!

Having set my Apple Maps before reading the description of the restaurant, my wife and I set our course on the way back from the San Diego Zoo. I didn't want to get home too late and the parking situation for the better restaurants near the zoo didn't look promising so we decided to go further away from San Diego to find a place on the way home near the 5 freeway. Cancun may not look like much but the food is pretty freaking amazing. My surf and turf burrito filled with generous amounts of shrimp and carne asada was incredible. Adding sour cream and guacamole just put it on another level. No burritos like this near my home. My wife's shrimp plate was also a winner. Lots of shrimp. My wife's only gripe was not enough rice and beans. Even the side of corn tortillas was moist and tasty. I'm not sure if they make their own tortillas but it seemed like it. Even the french fries are incredible. Nice and crispy but not dry. I thought I'd still be hungry after just the burrito but I had no idea what a monster it is. Even after eating 3/4 of it, the remainder was still heavy. The older lady working the register is so sweet. A little hard to understand since she has a thick accent but very nice and helpful. The cook was cool too. Very happy when I stopped before leaving to tell them the food was "delicioso". Don't let the gas station scare you away. The food is jammin'! I plan on stopping by again when I attend Comic-con next year.
