This restaurant is casual and laid-back, typical of local taco stands rather than a sit-down restaurant. There's no formal waitstaff or upscale decor. It offers basic seating and a simple setup. One thing that stands out is the salsa bar, which offers multiple salsas, radishes, and pickled jalapenos. I always like when a restaurant offers a salsa bar, as it allows me to douse my tacos with as much salsa as I want. This restaurant has a wide variety of options to choose from, but I have only tried their carne asada tacos and their horchata. The carne asada is usually tender, decently flavorful, and plentiful in terms of portion size. This isn't a gourmet steak taco, but rather a classic, satisfying street-taco experience from a small local taco shop. Their red salsa perfectly complements the carne asada. Adding lime to the tacos takes them to the next level! Tip: I don't think these are listed on the menu, but you can order grilled serrano peppers. They add a nice kick to the already savory red salsa. Their horchata is made in-house and is refreshing, flavorful, and authentic. It's so good that I sometimes order an extra one to take home. This is the real deal, not the powdered stuff. I've never had an issue with the service at this restaurant. I've only ever seen one employee, and she has always been friendly and helpful during every visit. One downside is that parking can be difficult to find, especially during the lunch rush. It's located in a small shopping center with very limited parking. Overall, this restaurant has a casual, laid-back vibe, excellent service, an extensive menu, generous portions, flavorful food, and absolutely delicious horchata.

Paying top dollar for a less than mediocre burrito sucks, and god forbid you ask for no rice and beans, they'll charge you 3 bucks extra. And it all can be forgiven if the quality of the al pastor was good. But it wasn't. The meat was hard and dry and I'm sure it was old and that's why they throw it in the food you don't "see". Very disappointed as this was my first time coming here, won't ever be back. The service was quick and fast the cashier was sweet but the quality and price for food was ridiculous read more

Tacos El Cosas - Al pastor burrito with guacamole (they forgot to add the guacamole) - Mexican Near Me - Chatsworth, California

Really good tacos but the price is too high. I ordered the plate with 3 tacos, rice and beans for $16! Plus another dollar because I used a debit card Delicious food but it is too much of a luxury for me these days read more

I've always passed by this place and finally decided to try it. It was decent but I thought it was pricey compared to other taco places. Because they are street tacos you need a few to fill up. So my total added up pretty fast. I ordered three different types of tacos and a burrito so we could all taste test and try different things from this place. The flavors were just average. Nothing special. I asked if they had a burrito with avocado or guacamole but she said no. I like flavors and sauces. I wish they had more to the food or options to add. If I was hungry and in that parking lot I would maybe go back but it's not something I would crave and have to have again. And I highly dislike being charged extra money to pay by credit card. That alone might make me not want to go back. read more

So so cheap on giving salsa, they won't give you extra salsa for the chips or no salsa for the tacos, you have to choose one or the other, sad to be in business and can't afford to give at least some salsa! And worse they did not even try to sell me some extra, ouch! Guess they don't buy enough tomatoes to serve a proper meal! read more

I only come here for take out, specifically their breakfast burritos. Authentic, really good flavor. If you call in advance it will be ready by the time you get there. Even the chips they give you are made there and they are great, the champurrado is awesome too. I wouldn't recommend as a sit down place. read more

I came in for the first time because I had been craving a breakfast burrito. Quick google search pointed me in this direction. 10/10 The staff were great! The girl at the register was patient while I decided which meat option (there's plenty). The lady sweeping and cleaning the tables was friendly. It made you feel like you're in your Tia's kitchen. For the burrito you get to pick between traditional ham, bacon, chorizo or any of their meats like asada, al pastor and such. I went with ham mainly cus I was overwhelmed but I am not disappointed. It's a huge portion! It has egg, potato, your choice of meat, onion, cheese and salsa. The best part is that it's seasoned. One of my issues with breakfast burritos is that the eggs and potatoes are always bland but not here! Salsa has a good kick to it (not spicy). I will definitely be coming back! I'll just make sure to bring cash with me because there's a $1 fee to pay with your card. read more

I have been to multiple restaurants around the valley and they have the best machaca burrito in town.

Probably the best tacos I've ever had in my life been coming here for the last 15 years and I'm so happy it's nearby

Do not eat here. I ate here a couple months ago and I got the stomach bug. I thought it maybe could've been something else I ate so I gave it another shot yesterday. I ate their tacos and I woke up this morning sick with a stomach ache, chills, and diarrhea. I read other reviews on google and some of them said that they got sick from eating there. I don't know what they are doing with their meat but obviously it's bad and not clean. Don't do it! read more

When I tell you this is the best restaurant I've ever been too, I mean it. Amazing food, and service. When I was eating my asade taco, I remembered the taste of my grandma's old recipe, it tasted so gooddd. I highly recommend this place, and they won't disappoint. read more

Absolutely delicious would recommend. The frijoles, arroz, quesadillas con carne, y tacos son muy bueno. The service was great, it was fast and the staff were nice. I loved the pictures plastered across the walls and the prices for the food was good. The prices were low for the amount of food you received. This is a family business that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good Mexican dish. read more

Great food. Stopped in while on a bike ride. Had a hard shell shredded beef taco and cheese enchilada combo with a bottle of water. $17. A little pricy, a lot messy, but I was rewarded with a delicious taco. Enchilada was great too. My friend loved his 3 soft pastor tacos and hard shell beef taco. $14. And they brought him a glass of ice water. Indoor seating. Mexican news on tv. Friendly. Highly recommend. read more

My daughter's team has been using them for their parties. I meet my wife there for lunch becsuse she works close to there. But this time I went to support a local small business that was open during quarantine. I got a burrito, but on a whim I also got some asada fries, so good. read more

Really good food , burritos are the best ! Definitely wish they were open till later but definitely recommend trying this place out

I never knew this place was here. The burrito de Tripas is very good and was the asada burrito.The lady at the register is super friendly.Very fast service. read more

Bring on the heat! Tacos El Cosas is as real as it gets. This is a fantastic authentic restaurant that captures the diverse flavors of Mexico. If you're a meat eater you'll enjoy the delicacies of all the stewed meats, vegetarians will have fun exploring beyond plain old quesadillas and venture into exotic dishes such as cactus and potatoes with eggs. The portions are generous, the quality is so fresh, everything is expertly made by true artisans. This is one of my new favorite restaurants. It's casual and clean. Call me a romantic but I think this would be a cute super casual chill date spot like before a hike or after the beach. Items we love: the aquas de coco or coconut milk drink. El Pastor tacos, beef tacos, carnitas tacos... Their beef taquitos!!!! The cactus dish. The entire salsa bar (warning it is extremely spicy, high quality and delicious)! There is plenty of parking in their private lot. Great for groups, takes credit cards, vegetarian friendly, takes credit cards. read more

Best breakfast burritos in the valley! It's probably the best breakfast burrito I ever had. I can only imagine what the other food tastes like. Im deeply in love with the Asada breakfast burrito. Someone definitely made it with love that day read more

Tacos El Cosas - Mexican Near Me - Chatsworth, California

I was in the mood for Mexican, but always looking for some new gem here in the SFV, so I took to yelp and near the top was Tacos El Cosas. Since it wasn't far, and based on the good reviews, I decided to give it a try. Located in the same mall as a 7-11 at the corner of Devoshire and Topanga just past Los Toros if you're heading West on Devonshire. Keep your eyes peeled, because you could drive right on buy it if you're not paying close attention. The place was pretty much empty considering it was around 7PM or so. The staff was courteous. I oped for the Carne Asada French Fries, and my wife a variety selection of steak and chicken tacos. Both were totally delicious and we cleaned our plates. It's always fun to find a new to you, mom & pop type restaurant in the neighborhood. read more

Sadly, I was very critical on this review almost immediately. I walked into the restaurant with $25, I figured that would be enough for lunch for two people, It wasn't, I had to go back and get $5 from my car. I don't mind spending the money, but for tacos, spending almost $30, it better be good. They got two stars because the girls at the front were very nice and the place was clean. It was about 2/3pm. Not a single soul in there, that should have been a red flag. Lol. Apparently, I got charged an additional $2.95 because I ordered lengua taco instead of whatever they wanted to give me. I didn't get a receipt, I only found out because I asked why it was so much. Food: not a fan. I've had way better tacos at the taco truck. My boyfriend was completely dissatisfied. I ordered the burrito and taco combo, and four tacos, one horchata and one Fanta. A bit salty and lacked carne asada flavor on the burrito, I think the carne asada was at least two days old. The tortillas seemed like they were just taken out of the plastic bag and not put on the grill to soften them up. My boyfriend said they were stale. Sadly, the meat was not fresh. The side of grilled onions was done in old oil, you can taste it.. so it had a really bad old oil after taste. Oohh.. plus, they charge you $2.95 for the avocado salsa!!! For less than 2oz!!! Not even the local taco truck will charge you that! I passed on the salsa. I won't be back. read more

Been going to this spot for several years now! Really great tasting, authentic Mexican food! Service is always good especially from the owners themselves! They are kind and welcome you like family! It is not overpriced, but rather priced just right especially since the quality of food is very good! The home made chiles are an excellent addition to any plate they make! Food is also always prepared very quick! read more

Tacos El Cosas... why do I love you so much? Thanks again for reminding me why you guys are the best taco spot in chatsworth. Yum. Thanks for today! 5+ stars! read more

INFECTED MEAT - Diseases. They gave me infected meat on July 3rd, 2019. I got shigellosis after my boyfriend brought home 5 of their carne asada tacos. It took 2 1/2 days to show the symptoms but I am experiencing extreme abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea + blood. It hasn't been a great week with this intense pain, my stomach is inflamed, which causes gastritis - pain in stomach, indigestion, heartburn, loss of appetite. My intestines are inflamed, which causes: bleeding ulcers that cause blood to show up in stool, pain, cramping, bloating & painful digestion. This place needs to be shut down before they spread more virus's. Always remember, you don't know who's hands prepped/made your food, you don't know if they washed them, & if the animal was infected prior to cooking/consumption you don't know if they cooked the entire infection out of the animal. read more

If you are going to charge a $1.00 fee to use a credit card for bills under $12.00 dollars. The establishment should verbally state that fact ! Now for the food, I had a burrito, it was fine. Nothing bad to say about it. Also nothing great to say about it. I am just concerned that the fee should be called when they are as high as a dollar for the use of a credit card. I am so pissed I will not return. read more

The tacos are fine, the rice and beans are fine, but these tacos cost about triple the market rate. I've been going for years, and I've never gotten three tacos and rice & beans for anywhere near even $10. An example: I recently went in and ordered a three taco combo and a can of soda, which ran me $14.96 or so. I then received, despite having ordered a combination, just three tacos (plus the soda). I walked out stunned, but came back a few minutes later (I had walked next door to grab something else), and when I explained in Spanish (in order to minimize the chance of a misunderstanding) the mistake, I was charged $5.75 for a full side of rice and beans, instead of just the difference, bringing my total to close to $21, or close to $24 with tip. For three decent tacos, a side of rice and beans, and a can of soda. Tl;dr: if you have any alternatives, patronize them; Tacos El Abuelo Nacho is a great alternative after 7pm, for example read more

This place is solid, and they are open late (until 11pm) which is a big plus for the Northwest Valley. There aren't many late night choices in the the Chatsworth area and I don't do fast food, so I was happy to find Tacos El Cosas open after finishing a night mountain bike ride in the area. For some reason I had never noticed this place, even though I have driven by it countless times. It is next to the 7-11 at the corner of Devonshire and Topanga. I was really hungry after my ride so I ordered 4 tacos with rice and beans. I eat a lot of Mexican food, and always order a Carne Asada Taco, Carnitas Taco, and a Pastor Taco with rice and beans when trying a a mexican restaurant for the first time. I can learn a lot about a place from this order...quality and seasoning of the meat, whether they are generous in their portions, etc. I was extra hungry so I did a 3 taco combo, plus added an additional Pastor taco. Tacos El Cosas did not disappoint! They are generous with the amount of meat they put in the tacos and the flavor was good. The carne asada was chopped into small pieces, but not too small and it had good flavor. The carnitas was cut into medium sized pieces, and although the meat is good quality there isn't a lot of flavor. Note, that I order the tacos plain so I can really taste the meat. The carnitas was still good though as I ate it with the rice and beans. And finally the Pastor tacos were really good! I really love the flavor of their Pastor! Very moist and not too spicy. Their are some grilled onions mixed in that add a layer of sweetness as well. I have been back several times, usually eating there, but sometimes taking the food to go, and the place is consistent. In fact, I am slightly addicted to the Pastor Tacos. The burritos are really big and filling as well. Another item which I haven't seen at other places is the Nopales con Huevos. This is eggs scrambled with cactus paddles and potatoes. It also comes with rice and beans and is a great value at $5.50. This is a breakfast item (I hear that breakfast is the busiest time for this restaurant), but they always make it for me at night when I ask. I really love this dish! The cactus has the look and consistency of grilled green pepper slices, and the flavor is unique. Take the bitterness away from a green pepper and give it a slight tartness...it is hard to describe, but so good! I highly recommend this, and it's a good sized meal in itself. The restaurant is brightly lit an clean. They have a TV playing Novellas and the decor is very basic. There are several maps on the wall and some old photos. All of the employees that I have dealt with are very nice. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would! Honestly, how hard is it to make a burrito?? First off the impression I get is if you are not of Hispanic descent they obviously don't care about your business. The gentleman taking our order spoke perfectly fine to me in English so why would my order get made COMPLETELY WRONG??? I ordered a chicken burrito with no onions, cilantro, or salsa. Also added sour cream. Had handfuls of onions in it with no sour cream and then to beat it all, there was a chicken bone I pulled out of it that was about an inch long......WOW really??? How could you miss that smdh. Oh and I posted the pic just so you could see! Got my buddy a carne asada burrito. His had guacamole and sour cream added but once again neither one was in the burrito. His tasted so bad that he literally just threw it in the garbage! So this place charged me for things I DID NOT get and for things I didn't even want. I think anyone who would ever go here is a complete fool. I don't want a refund and don't want any of your free food. All I want is to NEVER eat there again and I promise you I won't! read more

Tacos El Cosas - Mexican Near Me - Chatsworth, California

Ordered 2 chicken tacos , 2 pastor = $12 Not worth it. This came with no sides they gave me a total of 6 chips. I used to come here for the asada fries, they are no longer of value. Just greasy and flavorless The quality was sadly terrible! The tacos were flavorless, the chicken had a fishy taste and smelled of grease. The pastor was chewy and burnt. I took one bite and truly could not take another. I lost my appetite all together. I don't know what is going on at this place but there food has taken a plunge and it's disappointing since I love to support local taquerias but this one has been crossed off. Alsoo who puts franks red hot at a taqueria? read more

I just came here today 10/20/19. The guy in the front was beyond rude and did not care for me or my family. I asked if there was more salsa and he told me, " well how much salsa do you need", but very abrupt. Mind you there was no salsa out! Food was disgusting! And dry!!! The lady cook in the back was very sweet and felt bad for her. Would not recommend! NASTY. read more

Simple review. Was looking for tacos. Used Yelp after spotting this place. Reviews said Carne Asada tacos were good, so that's what I ordered. These were perfect tacos. Wow Place was clean, including the bathroom. Fresh little salsa bar, friendly people and tacos were great. I will probably expand, but for now, why not be happy with the Carne Asada. It was true wow. read more

Zero stars- charged me $22.50 for a "carne asada" burrito, three rolled tacos and a horchata. I honestly think it's cat food! There was a little meat at the top that I ate and then discovered the rest of the burrito was canned beans rice and some mystery meat that seriously reminds me of cat food and smells like it too. Seriously gross-avoid! read more
