Cotijas Taco Shop in San Carlos serves counter-style Mexican food at 7285 Navajo Rd, San Diego, CA 92119, on the same Navajo Road commercial strip that anchors the neighborhood's dining and retail corridor. The breakfast burrito menu runs all day and includes a dozen builds — eggs with fries and beans, carne asada with eggs and fries, hash brown with sausage and cheese, and a chilaquiles burrito that wraps red- or green-sauced tortilla chips with scrambled eggs. Rolled tacos and the California Burrito are the two highest-volume items on the regular menu, and a Philly Cheesesteak Burrito filled with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella sets this location apart from other Cotijas outposts across San Diego. Navajo Road runs north toward the Cowles Mountain trailhead and south toward the I-8, and the morning traffic from Honey Haven across the street frequently crosses over for a breakfast burrito once the coffee run is done. Carne asada fries load grilled steak over a bed of chips with American cheese, guacamole, and shredded cotija, and the shrimp burrito wraps sauteed shrimp with rice, chipotle sauce, and guacamole inside a flour tortilla. The 92119 ZIP places the shop within the San Carlos residential grid, where Cowles Mountain hikers and Lake Murray joggers drive the weekend breakfast traffic that peaks between 9 and 11 on Saturdays. Tostadas come on a fried flour shell with bean spread, lettuce, Mexican salsa, and cheese, and the fajita plate — pollo or carne asada — arrives sizzling with grilled California peppers, onions, and mushrooms alongside rice, beans, and tortillas. Menudo is available as a weekend soup option, and the agua fresca selection rotates through horchata, Jamaica, and seasonal fruit flavors. The same Navajo Road block feeds into Mountain Mike's Pizza and other San Carlos neighborhood restaurants, creating a multi-cuisine dining strip that runs from the Cowles Mountain trailhead south to Jackson Drive. Indoor and outdoor seating accommodate both solo counter-service pickups and small groups, and delivery is available through Grubhub, DoorDash, and Uber Eats for orders within the San Carlos delivery radius.
