Nicest quesadilla ever! The staff were so helpful with choosing what I wanted. Thanks so much will be back so many times

Temporarily, I no longer have a kitchen to cook out of....which is making me "cook sick" (I just love my OWN style of cooking vs fast food places) so I went to Cotixan for my deep longing of Quesadillas made with cooked chorizo inside (like a Queso Fundido) I made these for myself & my now Late Papa's breakfast....So I casually asked if they would sell me a cooked side of chorizo with my plain quesadilla....and MIRA! Voila! Instant almost self-made Quesadilla! Gracias con todo mi corazon a Los Chefs y La senorita linda en Cotixan! Esta Mexicana regresera'! 👍✌️💞😁 Dios me Los Bendiga! 🙏

I come here specifically for their Chile relleno burrito, and it’s consistently outstanding. The pepper is prepared with care, deseeded, properly battered, and filled with just the right amount of cheese. The attention to detail sets this place apart, since many others miss at least one of those steps. For a fast-food option, its well crafted, and I’d highly recommend trying it if you want a burrito that truly delivers.

Cotixan Mexican Food is my favorite spot for a burrito any time of day! The food is always fresh, hot, and totally customizable. Service is quick, and you can’t beat that they’re open 24/7. Perfect for late-night cravings or a quick meal anytime!

Solid Mexican food at a great price and it's always open. What else do we need in life?

Best tacos in the area. Awesome portions. The boyfriend usually gets 3-4 tacos at most places. 2 are enough here and they’re bomb! Bring napkins! Birria is amazing!! Drive through 24/7 so it’s a great spot after night beach excursions! Free refills on drinks if you go inside and they have the Coke machines with all the flavors which I love!

The Cotixan Mexican food restaurant, next to Valvoline has great food & a fast drive through. I have not been let down there by the taste and quality of the food. They have a clean sit down area, but a smallish parking lot. Caution do not confuse this place with Kotija Jr. in Leucadia. That place has been a let down, no matter what I have ordered.

Best food after a long drive and looking for food. Got a quesidilla and it's very cheesy and exactly how I like it. Although it is easy to miss where to enter so keep a look out. Quick service through drive thru

This is a lovely little take away with good inside seating. The people working the restaurant are friendly and smile a lot. The chef is excellent, the food is delicious. Had the Birria tacos, huge serving of birria inside. The Cotixan Fries, absolutely delicious heaped full of meat, spices, pico de gallo, guac and sour cream on a bed of fries. Huge portion. Next time had the birria taco again with the carnitas quesadilla. Again huge portion, absolutely spot on. Highly recommend this place.

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.

It doesn't look like it but it has the best California burrito out there. Amazing meat with a great salsa!

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). They didn’t complain though I was barefoot from the beach. Also got a chicken soup, some fish tacos, and some carne tacos. Amazing that this spot is open at 3am and delicious AF!

Cotixan is a well-known local franchise specializing in Mexican food, primarily focused on drive-thru service, making it a great spot for a quick meal on the go. However, the dine-in experience is also enjoyable, with a cozy atmosphere and plenty of natural sunlight streaming in during the afternoon. Unlike some other Mexican spots, Cotixan doesn’t offer Tuesday specials or Happy Hour deals—prices remain the same every day. That said, they are famous for their crazy huge portions. The Al Pastor Taco and Carne Asada Taco are loaded with meat, almost spilling out of the tortillas thanks to their generous packaging. The Al Pastor, while flavorful, can feel a bit dry, and unfortunately, there’s no pineapple included to balance the texture. The Carne Asada is decent, though nothing extraordinary. The Fish Taco stands out with two deep-fried fish strips on each taco, topped with fresh sliced cabbage for a nice crunch. They also offer two different sauces, both of which complement the tacos well. While the restaurant doesn’t have an outdoor dining area, making it less pet-friendly, the drive-thru provides a convenient option for those dining with pets. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite on the go or sitting down to enjoy a sunny afternoon meal, Cotixan delivers on portion size and classic Mexican flavors.

Just average Mexican fare. Got the quesadilla with carne asada. It was pretty huge so you get your money’s worth just from the portion size alone. Otherwise just a simple Mexican spot.

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. Had to drop it down a notch 11/26 after ordering Chicken Taco SALAD. Service was awesome, but there were about 7 thin strands of lettuce. Next time I’ll ask for more lettuce, less beans and fat. Undeniably delicious (yummy salsas) but I truly wanted SALAD with chicken and a wee bit of beans, sour cream, cheese, guacamole ( was delicious! Real avocados!!!) but not a salad by any stretch of the meaning of the word. It’s what I would call a stoned salad. Perfect munchie food. Amazing crispy shell.

I always drive by this place and finally had the chance to try it out late the other night. I was driving home and it was one of few places open around 2am. I ordered a super breakfast burrito and it was indeed super. Much larger than breakfast burritos from some of my other normal places and the price was fair. No comment on the service since it was drive-thru and 2am. Will be back to try out the rest of their me u in the future.

Food’s expensive, but decent. The salsa is not good. Doubt if we’ll be back.

Burrito was ice cold, floppy, difficult to eat. I asked for it smothered four times and it was not. Guy on the intercom never told me to pull forward so I sat there for a bit thinking he was inputting the order. Quite bad.

I stopped here for the first time since I moved here several years ago. I ordered a take out Machaca plate which came to just under $20. The food was so bland and the Machaca was so rubbery, I couldn’t eat it. After trying to make a meal of the beans and rice finally I gave up. Honestly, I have never been so disappointed in a meal.
