Cotija's Mexican Food

About

Cotija's Mexican Food on Chula Vista's Third Avenue covers a broad counter-service Mexican menu spanning breakfast plates, seafood cocktails, and the signature shrimp burrito from a location between H Street and Naples Street. The burritos roll in oversized flour tortillas filled with carne asada, carnitas, or beer-battered shrimp, a protein range that covers more ground than the specialty sandwiches built at Tlaloc Deli elsewhere in Chula Vista. Chile relleno plates, enchilada suizas, and camarón al mojo de ajo extend the menu into sit-down-caliber entrees despite the counter-service format. Rolled tacos arrive five to an order with guacamole, lettuce, and shredded cheese — a Chula Vista taco-shop benchmark supplied through the same regional produce channels that stock Carnival Supermarket on the South Bay grocery circuit. The carne asada fries layer grilled skirt steak over thick-cut fries with house chipotle crema, pico de gallo, Cotija cheese crumbles, and guacamole in a single-plate build exceeding 1,200 calories.
