    I wish I took a pic before I sliced it. Good burrito!
    Christian D.

    My girlfriend and I have been here a couple times (once for breakfast and once for lunch). I remember ordering their torta and it was HUGE. Came in today after playing Yugioh at Anime Imports, and decided to get the California burrito. I thought it was a little suspicious that it was $22, but whatever. I got it pretty quickly, and the thing is the size of my forearm. Massive burrito! I just had a maybe 1/4 of it, and I'm stuffed. Normally, I'm skeptical about big foods, but the burrito was pretty good! Now I have lunch for the weekend lol

    Jumbo al pastor spinach wrapped $16.99

    This was my first time at La Mordida after passing by a lot. On a rainy Monday night, right after walking in I smelled a musty smell. I think it was from the black rugs they had inside that got wet from all the rain and people coming in and out. Really bad smell that had me running out after getting my take out order. As far as the menu, they have something for everyone. The jumbo spinach wrapped al pastor burrito was pretty oily after unwrapping foil. For the title of jumbo, there wasn't a lot of protein in it. For the super nachos, the guac wasn't fresh. For the amount of toppings in it, there wasn't enough chips. Free chips and salsa. But like others said the salsas have no flavor or spice. At least the service was nice. Order at the counter and wait for your food. Parking lot

    Food was very tasty. Nachos were great. Love the salsa bar. They have a habanero onion mix. Was hella good. Tacos are great they have taco Tuesday special and a burrito Thursday special. Most definitely be coming back. This was my second time eating here.

    First off so everyone knows their Vegetarian Burritos aren't Vegetarian they have Chicken stock in all the rice. You also need to request beans w/out Lard.. So this isn't Vegetarian..Also they fry the chips in the same oil as the Poultry,Pork and Chicken. On Top of everything the Lady at the cashier was not able to understand my order got the 2 Spinach Tortillas wrong on top on not have the knowledge to answer the questions about Vegetarian Orders. This Place looks great but doesn't care about the preference of people's beliefs about the Die they live and maintain.

    Cabeza and lengua tacos

    I was visiting my brother's family in Pacifica and this is one of their favorite spots and now one of my favorites! To start, their service is friendly and the have a solid spread for their salsa bar. They have a nice outdoor patio area but it was sadly fly season so we didn't chance it outside. I will say I've been here once before and ordered something else (honestly don't recall what specifically) but now that I've had their tacos I must sing their praises! I'm a sucker for cabeza (head) and lengua (tongue) tacos and these ones hit the spot! The meat is incredibly tender and truly a must order if you stop by! Their taco sizes are pretty reasonable (not street taco sizes) so 3 tacos was plenty for me. The tacos came with roasted green onion and jalapeno which were perfection and warmed my AZ native soul. Chef kisses all around! I loved this spot and will definitely be back!

    Finally came back to try something different. I ordered the regular burrito with fish and honey order carnitas plate. Our burrito was huge and honey carnitas plate (lots of meat) Carnitas was not dry. Would definitely order it again.

    If you're in Pacifica and craving authentic Mexican food, La Mordida is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, lively, and welcoming--like you've just stepped into a hidden gem where passion for great food truly shines. The flavors are outstanding across the board. The tacos are perfectly balanced with fresh ingredients, tender, well-seasoned meat, and handmade tortillas that elevate every bite. Their salsas bring the perfect mix of heat and flavor, and you can tell everything is made with care and authenticity. The portions are generous without sacrificing quality, and every dish comes out beautifully presented. What really makes La Mordida special is the overall experience. The service is friendly and attentive, making you feel genuinely appreciated as a guest. Whether you're stopping in for a casual meal or a relaxed dinner after a day by the coast, it's the kind of place that keeps you coming back. La Mordida isn't just great Mexican food--it's comfort, culture, and quality all in one. Easily one of Pacifica's best spots for bold flavors and a memorable meal.

    I love this restaurant, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what the logo is supposed to be. It looks like a duck wearing a sombrero trying to eat the letter A. Can someone tell me what it is?

    The duck is taking a bite, and the way the duck is painted, its face looks like the word "LA" -- so La mordida (mordida = bite) one of the employees explained this to me. She doesn't understand how non-Latinos have so much trouble with this.

Although it was counter service to order and we sat ourselves, they brought our meals to our table on cute plates and boy were they full. You could smell the seasonings as they were brought to your table. Everything was fresh and when I say delicious, I mean delicious! My family absolutely devoured their plates. Really good portions and I ended up having to bring home my leftovers. My son has been here in the past visit visiting his auntie and highly recommends the breakfast burritos. I caught myself swinging my feet under the table and humming like a little kid as I ate. It felt like the entire staff said goodbye to us as we left. We will definitely be returning absolutely delicious food. The only downfall is not the restaurant itself. It's the parking and the Absolutely crappy drivers who don't know how to park outside just a heads up.

We very rarely go here, though. It had been a very long time, over a decade, since we ordered food from them, so I nearly forgot why they are not one of our usual spots. DJ told me that the food is underwhelming, that's why. I didn't remember this, so I gave them another try on October 3, 2025. We had an appointment at Banfield, but I was starving. So I decided to drop in very quickly for something little and easy to eat while at the vet appointment. The small eatery, of likely a maximum occupancy of around sixty to seventy persons in the dining room, appeared to be semi-clean. Tables looked like they could have used a good wiping, but I wasn't concerned about that since I was ordering take-out. They have a chips and salsa bar at the end of the dining room which looked decent enough to trust the offerings, but, again, the counters could have used a wipe-down. I initially was going to order a taco or two, but decided that a tamal would be easier to eat without making a mess. According to a posted sign at the counter, tamales, sweet corn or chicken, are supposed to be $3.50 each. I say "supposed to be" because despite what their sign says, my receipt shows me that I was actually charged $3.64 for one, plus tax. Not cool. It's only a $0.14 difference, but this should never happen, ever. I recall pointing out the price difference to the cashier to which I was given some bogus response. I was too much in a hurry to get into a debate with her. As for the taste, the flavour of the chicken was not bad, but overall, the tamale was DRY. My tamal had a thin layer of sauce on top and the inside could have used some kind of moisture, either from cheese or sauce. After the appointment at Banfield, for the convenience, I returned to Guerrero's #2 to buy dinner for the family (Super Burrito for $15.08, Veggie Burrito for $13.00, Taco Plate for $18.20 + a Flauta for $3.00, and 2 Large Horchatas for $10.40, totaling $65.58 inclusive of tax). DJ reiterated that the food was meh...and I finally remembered how we found their menu items to be subpar. Service is usually fairly quick and decently friendly, though. I will refer to this yelp review of mine to serve as a reminder as to why we don't frequent Guerrero's Taqueria #2, in case I forget again.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The chicken taco ($5.99) was good, but there was no wow factor. The chicken had decent flavor, but everything else felt pretty basic for a nearly $6 taco. The crunchy taco ($5.99) was probably the most disappointing. It reminded me of a small supermarket-style hard taco shell. The chopped steak inside was actually good, but it was heavily covered in shredded cheese. Then there's the Super Taco ($7.99). This one is a skip for me. It was loaded with cheese and watery guacamole, while the al pastor was drenched in sauce and seasoning. There was so much going on that I couldn't really appreciate the meat itself. That's roughly $20 for three tacos before tax... and ultimately, they still felt like fairly basic tacos made with basic ingredients. We also ordered the chicken quesadilla, and I'll give them this: it was MASSIVE. Definitely not lacking in portion size. But again, there was so much cheese, and the chicken was diced so finely that I found myself questioning the overall quality and freshness rather than appreciating the chicken. Surprisingly, my favorite part of the meal was the complimentary chips and green salsa. The green salsa had a nice kick and great flavor. Interestingly, though, our two cups tasted completely different one was flavorful and spicy, while the other was noticeably bland. After everything, we somehow walked out spending around $45 after tipping at checkout. That's where this place loses me. I'm willing to pay more for good food, and I understand restaurant prices have gone up everywhere. But when you're charging $5.99-$7.99 per taco, the quality has to justify it. The food wasn't terrible. It just wasn't memorable enough for the price. If you're coming here expecting elevated tacos to match the elevated price, I would temper those expectations.
