Went in through the drive-thru. Order carne asade fries. It was hot and tasty. Thanks. You are my favorite Cotixan in all San Diego County.

Chicken tortilla soup is the Best. They don’t have a salsa bar but give corn (or flour) tortillas, a container of onions and cilantro, fresh lime. Plus a handful of salsas. Lots of chunky chicken and veggies. Other places have given me the soup only and I have to ask for all that Cotixan provides.

Amazing breakfast burritos, cheap in price but not in portions. I even added more meat at it still wasn’t more than 10 bucks. Seriously for anywhere in the state this is an absolute steal, and they aren’t skimping on anything. They were more than filling! Flavors were phenomenal and just what I was craving after several bland restaurants before this.

Such great service at this location and the portion sizes are very generous. The side order of tortilla chips and salsa are the best I’ve ever had, they’re cooked to order and come out piping hot with delicious salsa.

I’ve been coming here for at least 7 years now and I thought I’d finally write a review. There’s these two guys who work the register here at night and they get excited every time they see me or my sister. They’re really cool and the food is also amazing every time they’re working. I’ve even brought a bag of Tapatio flavored Doritos a few times and they made the nachos on those. I think my favorite part about this restaurant is their appreciation for regulars, such as myself.

The food is good, but the prices are a bit high for the quality. It used to be a better deal, but they’ve raised their prices significantly starting ~5 years ago.

Great “Codie” fries… haha. That’s what we used to call them in 1997! The salsa bar was solid. The service was good (maybe could’ve been a little more prompt).

This place has a drive thru that I can’t seem to stop driving thru! I love a good carnitas burrito, and they do not disappoint! I also enjoy their nachos. The servings are large and the food is fresh. I love it!
