Review: El Cotixan - San Diego

Ever get a craving for something that you have to have or else you just might die? Well, I had a craving like that for some good burritos. What better place to get burritos than in San Diego, right? And so at midnight, I (accompanied by two equally starving friends) left Irvine to fulfill these hunger pangs.



Our mileage at the start of the trip. These numbers were significantly higher by the time we got back to Irvine.

About an hour and half later, we arrived at El Cotixan (affectionally referred to by locals and college students as Coti's) where we ordered three large California burritos with french fries and no potatoes, thank you.


Oh the glory. This bad boy is stuffed with cheese, french fries, carne asada beef, onions, cilantro, and most important of all, Coti's famous orange sauce.


CJ and I are extremely happy, regardless of the fact that it's almost 2:00 AM. Burritos make everything better!


KG and the orange sauce. Rumor has it that this sauce goes bad after one day...to prevent people from replicating it (?). Not sure if this is a legitimate rumor, but this sauce is good nonetheless.



And as if we weren't crazy enough, we went down to La Jolla Shores to look at the seals, listen to the waves, and contemplate our existence in the context of the grander scheme of life. Deep stuff for 4:00 AM.

I highly, HIGHLY recommend El Coti's for a good California burrito. Regardless of where you're at or what time it is. Because El Coti's is so worth it.
