    The food was excellent. My family have eaten at Cotija's for several yrs and the consistency of the food and service has been top notched. The salsa is great, the chips are thin and crisp. The tamales are superb. If you want to have some, go early because they run out. I keep hoping they will at some point stay open for dinner. Try them you wont be disappointed.

    Cotija's is a wonderful restaurant. The service is spectacular and the food is delicious. The best part however, is the house hot sauce, it's the best I've ever had.

    Their Salsa Verde was lovely. For my meal I had the Carne Asada with chicken. It was delicious. I am so glad they give a good portion size, as I will get to have it for my dinner as well. Would most come back! Staff was very friendly
