Super good food, plenty in a plate order, open salsa bar. Great price overall and especially in this part of town. PARKING on their premise!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Zachery Spiegel · Sep 2025

Carne asada fries were a HUGE portion. Cali burrito was normal proportion. Both were okay. The guacamole was the main thing keeping it down, it had raw white onion in it which I don't prefer and just gave you that onion crunch randomly. The salsa was just okay and almost had a little off taste to it.

I have had two Fish burritos so far and my husband has had a few also. They have always been great, with a lot of fish. It is our favorite place to get Fish burritos. My husband has had the Fish & Chips burrito which he likes a lot. The Nachos Supreme is large with a lot of meat. Kotija Jr. is not a fancy place to eat, so don’t expect the people behind the counter to wait on you like a server in a restaurant. They have always been decent and friendly, so I don’t know what other reviewers are talking about when they say they are rude or have an attitude.
