El Cotixan Mexican Food #1 - El Cajon

Best Mexican food ever. It’s clean and staff is friendly. Fish tacos rice and beans are amazing. My boys ordered the carne asada fries and nachos and they loved it.

This was our first time there and it was some of the best Mexican food we have had in a very long time. The customer service was awesome. We will definitely be eating there again.

First time I went there and the customer service was outstanding and very welcoming. The food Im was great! I will definitely be returning soon!

It's OK, customer service was great everything else had issues. There are better options nearby.Food:Birria quesodilla was sloppy. Granted its Birria and supposed to be but it was just a soggy mess and could not be eaten with out a fork. Flavor was mostly salt.Bean and cheese burrito had almost no flavor and I often judge a taco shop on the mastery of the basics.Salsa game had a lot of choices but most were pretty weak on flavor and heat.Service:1 older guy amd he was handling 7 people at the same time. Doing cooking, counter, and service. Hats off to that guy.Atmosphere:Mostly bright red and white paint to give the illusion of personality. Honestly the original style had way more personality. This feels like if McDonald's did a taco shop.Additional:Patio dinning available but tons of homeless outside make that less than desirable.They are super easy to access and lots of parking are a definite plus.The open doors contribute to a mass of flies that just stay in the shop, that's gross.Final review:I would prefer not to eat here. Maybe take out if a friend really liked that spot, but would not be my first through fifth choice.

Owner is super nice, food is good. Their homemade salsa some of the best I’ve had. Clean curious and fast. Will eat here often when I’m in the area
