Kotija used to be good food for a good price. Now, the sizes of everything have shrunk, and the prices have gone up 30%. The service has also gone down. They seemed to have changed their employees. The new ones are a little rude and non accommodating for special orders like the old employees were.

I gave it 3 stars only because I have actually never eaten there but frequent the 7/11 next door but it always smells good and has customers eating or waiting in line there and that area is kinda boogie meaning the annual house income is much higher than the average in california so it has to be decent at the very least

I haven't been to all the locations but so far having only been to two I am extremely satisfied with this restaurant. I started to really give the fish taco some thought after I went to the first location and I can't stop getting fish tacos now.
