They have a little of everything one may want from a Mexican restaurant! Staff was friendly! We ordered flautas, tacos, and fajitas and it all came out delicious! read more

Great food here, though expect a bit of a wait as it's popular and they are making the food fresh. My chef cousin likes it here, and a Mexican friend also said this is the only taqueria she eats at. I haven't had anything disappoint me. I intend on trying everything on the menu. Specials: Taco Tuesday $2.75 Al pastor and chicken Burrito Thursday $10 chicken, Carnitas, Al pastor read more

Monday 10/12/2026 around 7:20pm I visited this restaurant with my family , hoping to enjoy a nice family meal. Unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. From the beginning, there were a few issues with the service. My shrimp cocktail was served without a spoon, and even after asking for one, I ended up having to get up and find one myself. However, the most concerning part happened while I was eating. I bit down on something hard and, to my surprise, discovered a penny inside my shrimp cocktail. It hurt my mouth, injured the roof of my mouth, and even caused a little bleeding. I immediately informed the staff, but other than expressing surprise, I felt the situation wasn't taken as seriously as it should have been. As I was leaving, I was told that I had been given a refund. However, I had paid in cash and hadn't received any money back. When I returned to clarify this, the employee was about to open the register, but I chose to leave. I want to make something very clear: This was never about the money. I'm not writing this review to hurt the business or get anyone in trouble. I understand that mistakes happen, and I would never want someone to lose their job over this. My only intention is to encourage the restaurant to pay closer attention, not only to customer service but, most importantly, to food preparation and safety. A small oversight can lead to a serious injury. I sincerely hope the management takes this feedback constructively and makes sure something like this doesn't happen to another customer. Everyone deserves to enjoy a safe and pleasant meal with their family. read more

First timer. I ordered milensa de pollo torta. The cashier must have heard wrong so when I got my torta it was carne. When I went to ask they said they don't make chicken. Ugh so I ordered chicken tostada. It was ok. Nothing out of ordinary. My husband said his torta was ok. The nachos were good. The restaurant had lots of sitting outside and inside. There is a parking lot too. read more

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 read more

Visited this spot a number of times, placing larger orders and they have been a decent experience each time but today's visit was a disappointment. A simple order of a single chicken quesadilla for my daughter should not have taken 20 min. especially when they were calling people who ordered after me to pick up their larger orders 10 min. into waiting. I asked where is my order after 15 min. and I was told it's still being made. 5 min. later another employee is trying to hand me an order that wasn't even mine and when I showed my receipt, he says, no this isn't yours. After 20 min. I was finally handed my little order without any sort of acknowledgement that it took longer than usual. I suspect my order was added to someone else's by mistake and only made mine when I had asked the status of mine. read more

We had a delicious dinner tonight. I had the super burrito-chili verde and my partner had the hot plate with enchiladas-carne asada . Both were delicious. We were surprised how fresh everything tasted. The lettuce actually crunched it was so fresh. It felt like someone made everything that day and it was excellent. The atmosphere was busy and casual. I can't wait to go back and try something new. read more

Anything you order is going to be delicious! I love the chips, watermelon, and salsa bar. The salsas have so much flavor too. My favorite would be the huarache de asada but with no red salsa. read more

We come here all the time because it is hands down the best taqueria in Pacifica and I have lived here my whole life. The food is made flavorful, fast and consistently well. Their salsas are perfection. The staff is friendly and talented. Honestly my favorite place in Pacifica. read more

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. read more

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! read more

The burrito was a bit too soupy for me, and I thought the carne asada could've had more flavor. This is a pretty average taqueria and you could probably find a lot of these around. Would I go back? Sure. But definitely not in my top 10. read more

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 read more

I've tried the burritos, tacos & most recently the camarones a la diabla & for the price and quality I wouldn't recommend this as my go to spot. If speaking local to Pacifica, I'd prefer La Perla or Taqueria Pacifica. The shrimp and chicken burritos are good but a bit plain & the tacos were decent. I was very disappointed with the camarones a la diabla. Two plates plus tax came out to be $50 and there was absolutely no spice to the sauce. It felt like I was eating sweet and sour sauce. I buy camarones a la diabla specifically for the delicious spicy sauce so I was let down. Service has always been kind and quick & and the environment is always welcoming. If this is the only Taqueria that you can go to, I'd recommend getting the tacos or one of their speciality plates. read more

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. read more

I passed by this restaurant many times and wanted to go there. Finally I got a chance to eat. The chicken fajita was very tasty, with a little bit of smokiness and you can really taste the char-boiled. The sauces were too spicy for me but I'm sure a lot of people would like it like that. read more

I love this place but tonight I had a bit of a confusing experience. I asked for two tacos made vegan - veggie taco without dairy . He brought it to me and said it was vegetarian it's not vegan. So I said, but there's no cheese or cream and he said, but they make the rice with consommé- so if they make the rice with chicken or beef broth, then it's not even vegetarian. I'm not sure I understand that at all. It's really too bad, their chips are amazing. Their salsa are terrific, but if the rice is not even vegetarian, then there's nothing vegan aside from just a bean taco... read more

Was in Pacifica for work and needed a quick bite to eat. Had the Chorizo b.fast burrito at a very respectable $12. The Chorizo was not oily and had an added touch of crunchy French fries inside. Complementary warm chips with 3 different types of salsas. Plenty of parking. Would come back again if I'm in the area. read more

I ordered about $150 worth of food and left a $20 bill for tip. The food got everyone sick immediately. Beware! Never coming back.

I was craving tacos and was close by so decided to stop by and order a few for my little girl and I. We ordered 3 tacos - chicken, fish and carne asada as well as a chicken quesadilla, horchata and picked up some nachos and salsa. Service was incredibly friendly and quick! I love that you can pick up your own chips and that they have their own salsa bar. My little girl said the tacos were soooo good and I agree. I'll definitely be back. read more

Wow! These prices are outrageous. The food is good. The prices definitely have me second guessing and staying away.

Grab lunch here with friends. Excellent spot for tacos in Pacifica. Authentic tacos and fresh chips and salsa. Always hard to find a taco spot with orange salsa (sorry not sure what else to call it) but that salsa is excellent. Very generous with the meat toppings. The chips are fresh tasting. Service here is great and friendly. Parking is easy with the huge lot. The carne asada is tender and flavorful. Now I know where to get tacos in the Pacifica area. read more
