Orange County’s Best Fish Taco

Our story

Bringing Authentic Mexican Flavors to the Heart of America

At Los Cotijas Taco Shop, we have a story deeply rooted in the hopes and dreams of Mexican immigrants who sought a better life in the United States. Our founders embarked on a journey filled with perseverance, hard work, and a passion for Mexican cuisine that has shaped our identity today.
In the early days of their arrival to the United States, our owners worked tirelessly, taking on job after job, dedicated to providing for their family and embracing the American Dream. However, their love for the authentic flavors of their homeland and a burning desire to share it with others never wavered.
In 1988, fueled by their unwavering determination, our owners decided to turn their dream into reality. They opened the first Los Cotijas Taco Shop in Garden Grove. It was a humble establishment, but it harbored their vision of creating a community gathering place where people could indulge in delicious, traditional Mexican cuisine.
The journey was far from easy. Over the years, our founders faced numerous obstacles and weathered through difficult eras. However, their unwavering commitment to providing the best food and service possible kept them pushing forward. Their dedication never faltered, even during lean times and fierce competition.
Los Cotijas Taco Shop quickly became a neighborhood favorite, not only for its mouthwatering dishes but also for the warm and inviting atmosphere that was infused into our establishment. The aroma of our sizzling carne asada, the comforting taste of our freshly made mole sauce, and the vibrant colors of our handcrafted salsas became synonymous with the true essence of Mexican cuisine.
Through the ups and downs, Los Cotijas Taco Shop has never compromised its commitment to authenticity. Our recipes have been passed down through generations, honoring the traditional techniques and flavors that capture the essence of Mexico. Each dish we serve is a testament to the rich culinary heritage our founders brought from their homeland.
Today, as we look back on our journey, we are humbled by the love and support shown to us by our loyal customers. With multiple locations in Orange County, Los Cotijas continues to grow while never losing sight of our roots. We owe our success to the unwavering dedication and perseverance of our founders, who continue to inspire us every day.
Whether you are a long-time customer or just discovering us, we invite you to join us on this flavorful adventure
