I was very surprised that this plain, humble little spot had such a flavorful Carnitas burrito. Not only was the flavor delicious, but the carnitas were moist and not greasy at all. The beans were refried and so tasty just like I expect for any burrito. Good sized and very generous amount of carnitas. (Not at all like some places that make their burritos full of rice, beans and a tiny scoop of meat.) The green salsa was so bomb too. I will be returning to try something else, because if the carnitas were so good right before closing...their other dishes must be bomb.com. Sandra helped me and she was so nice and friendly! Jesus was the man in the kitchen and he too was very nice. Great customer service!! I'm so glad I found this little gem and so close to home too. Since I'm new to the area I've been visiting a LOT of Mexican food spots. This is so far my favorite. read more

Taqueria Cotija - Carne asada Nerve - Mexican Near Me - Ontario, California

When I first moved to Upland , this was my go to place for Mexican food. I fell in love with their asada tacos instantly. Now that I'm back in town, I decided to stop buy for some great food. I ordered 8 asada tacos and a large jamaica. The tacos were just ok. Didn't seem to have much flavor. As for the jamaica, it was HORRIBLE! I had to double check my drink to make sure it was what I ordered. It taste like I was drinking syrup and ice. Their salsa bar wasn't much of a bar. They only had a red and green sauce, limes, onions and cilantro. Plenty of bags out but only 3 cups with 2 tops for salsa. read more

Taqueria Cotija - 4 asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - Ontario, California

Hard working chef tonight. When I walked in it smelled so good. There was carne asada cooking. We had carne asada burritos and taquitos. The burrito was good. The frijoles taste really good so that means they might be really bad for you. I would come back and try something else since this was my 1st time here. I gave it 4 stars because the taquitos could have been hotter. read more

Ordered 4 taquito plate. The guacamole has a sour taste looks like green water no texture at all the taste of the guacamole is not authentic. Rice and beans are ok at best. Two stars for friendly s read more

Ok, so I went to this place because of the great reviews, but they all wrong, I order the taquitos with the rice and beans, the rice was a day old as the beans. The salad or "lettuce" wet on something sweet, I got the RUNS as soon as I left the place. Stay away.. Trust me read more

Let me tell you about them carne asada fries...the best you'll find around these parts!!! They have other really good food here too and I have never had anything negative to say. I've been coming here for almost 10yrs for the fries and have brought friends and turned them on to this place too. I first tried carne asada fries at Alfredo's then got introduced to this place. I've tried other places but I love this place so much they can't compare. read more

Stopped in on a Thursday evening around 5:30. A gentleman stood talking to the sole employee behind the counter, and left as I approached. Otherwise, the place was empty. A TV on the wall played noticias. I ordered an assortment of tacos--asada, pastor, pollo, carnitas. The cook-top was clean and the kitchen idle. The tacos were ready pretty quickly, so I'm pretty sure there was no actual cooking, just reheating. The chicken and asada cut to a tiny dice, so the fact they were a bit dry not so noticeable. Still tasty. One of my carnitas tacos included some shreds that were very dry--nearly jerky status. The pastor was pretty good, a bit sweet. All in all, a fairly satisfying bunch of tacos. I'll bet they taste much better when the griddle is hopping and the meat is freshly cooked. For 1.45 each, they could also be stuffed a bit more generously with meat. The gentleman was friendly and the rest of the menu looked to have some promising items. read more

I love this place, their burritos are the bomb.com. Their beans, rice, tortillas and meat are homemade, the flavor says it all. I am Mexican, and my mom's food is hard to beat so I am not usually impressed with Mexican restaurant food, but this place always leaves me wanting more. When I come here I struggle deciding between a carne asada burrito or a bean and cheese burrito, this is how delicious their beans are. If you are looking for authentic, this is the spot. The only thing I wish they would work on is their closing hours, especially on the weekends. This would take them to the next level. It would have people like . . . King Taco who? read more

came down here with my girl and made a good choice by ordering the asada fries and she got a burrito which was pretty bomb and big. The horchata is cinnamony in a good way. would recommend to come down and try out read more

I've been coming here for nearly 10 years. Most other places I go to does not compare to their food portions and flavor. I travel a lot for work all over California and this is definitely a hidden gem. I always get some type of Carne Asada, weather its nachos, burritos, or tacos. I strongly suggest one of those. Good luck on finishing the nacho plate, it's at least two meals worth of food. I have always given this place 5 stars and their on my speed dial for my to-go orders! Lol read more

The wet burrito is the absolute best. I have been going here for over 15 years. The owners are great people.

I judge a good Mexican place based on a simple bean and cheese burrito with a side of rice. If they have good beans and rice then the place is solid to me. Their bean and cheese was pretty good. The beans are on the soupier and thinner side with tons of cheese, but not bad. Overall, it's a good place to get your Mexican fix. read more

Favorite taco place. They do change who cooks the food at times and they will taste diff that's the only bad part once was too salty but I don't think that person works there anymore. There's an older man that makes the food delicious the owner a sweetheart. The asada burrito is good and tacos. read more

Best Tacos Al Pastor in town!! Super savory. The Asada is really good if you are lucky to get it fresh otherwise it can be dry cause they chop it so fine it dries out quick. Tortas are ok. I once got a "soggy" torta cause they added so much beans. Taquitos plate is really good, too. The service is always great! And the prices are good. But sucks to have so many Bums outside cause if 7/11. read more

Love this little place. The owner is such a nice lady and the food is delicious! I'll always pick the Cotija over King Taco anyday!

The wet burrito is to die for ! Enchilada sauce was okay, kinda sweet but still good. Great customer service. You can also make your own vegan or vegetarian plates if needed. Will be going back for sure ! read more

So i was confused about the 5 stars... The food was not too good. The chicken is diced up so tiny that the pieces are hard and over cooked. Same for the asada. It did not taste very good. Didnt make me sick but just was not good. We tried asada fries, burrito and chicken enchiladas as well as the pastor. None any good. It straight sucked bad. read more

ordered the carnitas nachos, they were gross that carnitas were days old probably nothing looked fresh and inside this joint smelled old and it was hot. The carne asada tacos were nasty had no flavor, go find better Mexican food else where. read more

Love this place. Their food is excellent. Service is good and very friendly. The owner goes out of his way to make you happy and even sometimes it makes us also I like when he doesn't have it out. My only complaint is that he doesn't have the avocado salsa out 90% of the time. Other than that I'm very happy with this place and continually and repeatedly go back. read more

This has become my "neighborhood" source for good Mexican food. Don't know what they do, but the flavor is "just right" for me. Good price, with nice little bennies like getting chips or roasted onions... I sometimes stop there after jogging for those nights when it's too hot to cook, or when I'm lazy. read more

Love the crispy tacos. Ya they're just deep fried shredded beef but better than any taco bell/del taco BS. Haven't tried much else but one day I will. read more
