    A family run restaurant that makes just run-of-the-mill quality food. Which does not seem to deter locals from patronizing. My visit was at noon and the tables were nearly full and the take out orders were plentiful. My generous size hamburger was merely okay. Actually the 6 ounce meat patty was flavorless. I told Barbara that it was merely meat-like texture, actually a little rubbery chewy for ground beef. I added Cholula hot sauce to make it tasty enough to finish, even though I was hungry. Side of Cole slaw also was just okay, nothing special. Bambie noted for the quality, the prices seemed a bit elevated. The rent in this shopping center must be high. Nice server was helpful, cheerful and attentive. Dining room looks 1960's vintage. Bathroom is old but clean. Next time I'm driving while hungry through Pacifica, I'll seek out another eatery.

    A nice breakfast/lunch spot. We had breakfast and it was well worth the cost. Nice staff too.

    Sunrise Cafe & Grill 1241 Linda Mar Shopping Ctr, Pacifica, CA 94044 (650) 359-3811 sunrise-cafe-and-grill.wa-cafe.com Weekend of August 3rd. * This year I made sure to have breakfast at Sunrise before leaving Pacifica. * Danger! Danger! There is a Ross Department store nearby. * Warmly greeted and offered coffee 1 minute after I sat down. * I ordered what was recommended the most by the locals I spoke with. The Joe's Special- Ground beef, Italian sausage, onions, mushrooms, and spinach. I requested for extra extra feta cheese. A must for my omelette is feta cheese. Extra crispy on my hash browns. Wheat buttered toast. * My coffee cup was never empty, she was very kind enough to make sure it was always filled. Thank you. * A must when in Pacifica. Breakfast at Sunrise. Lunch at The Breakers. Dinner at Nick's.

    Huevos Rancheros, no hashbrowns

    I love how local and convenient this place. I sometimes forget it is in town. Came in here for a quick breakfast and left full after a hearty breakfast with a decent amount of breakfast choices. Everything was cooked to perfection, the portions hearty and wait staff friendly. The ambiance is your typical diner, clean and all the condiments on the table. There was only one chef so it took a hot minute for us to get food, but everything was served hot and delicious. We will be back more often!

    Came here for breakfast on accident. Originally wanted to go to another spot where they had fresh brewed coffee but wait was too long. When we got here, thankfully got seated right away. The menu options are like any other mom and pop shop very simple, no boujee coffee and also no kids menu. Place is small and can get loud (we did have my twin nephews so we contributed to the loudness that day). Our server Maria was friendly. She was a little busy and we could tell. I will say our breakfast tasted good and fresh (you know what I mean). Our overall experience was good. I was thinking 3***for this spot. I asked my sis in law what I should rate the place, she said 4****.

    Now open for dine-in. Perfect breakfast after mass.

    Lived in Pacifica for over 20 years and this is my first time visiting this cafe. Looking to find a quick breakfast meal and found this open for dine-in. Came just after 10am and was seated immediately. Host and waitresses are very friendly and attentive to your needs. Water and coffee is always filled. Great menu selection; better than Denny's in food and service! Will definitely come back again to try other meals in menu

    Small old school diner. Nice basic breakfast but $20 for the basic with 3 eggs a bit steep! Additionally, the place is small with the kitchen on back wall so can get a bit loud in "kitchen" - But if you want a nice simple breakfast - eggs cooked just like you asked , hash browns- browned up perfectly - meat and toast-with great service while hanging with the locals - you can't go wrong!

    Wow. What a great find. We walked by it a few times and never noticed it. Going in transported me back to my childhood with long counter and leather booths. Service is exceptional. 1 line cook calm and cool gets food out fast . Food portions are large even drinks are large. I can't wait to come back

    Added a little Cholula!

    Every visit to Pacifica, CA, we have breakfast at Sunrise Cafe. They have the BEST omelets! There is an option to "create your own" omelette, which is the route we take. I have egg whites, Spinach, broccoli, feta, and zucchini with avocado on top. Ohhhh man!!! It doesn't get any better than this! I must confess, there was another breakfast cafe next to our hotel which we tried when I was told, "I can make that kind of omelette for you" from the owner. I truly felt like I was cheating on Sunrise Cafe! Well, let's just say, we will continue to have breakfast at Sunrise because the other place didn't make my omelette like Sunrise can! I will never cheat on Sunrise Cafe again. Oh and I must say, at Sunrise, you can have home potatoes or hash browns, whichever You Like! Sunrise will do it Right! I swear, it's the Best Way to Start Your Day!!!

    Limón is one of my favorites, and I've been to a couple of their other locations over the years…read more The Burlingame location is right on the main street, with plenty of seating both inside and outside. The staff are always friendly and attentive. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, with the half chicken as our main course. It comes with two sides, and this time we went with double salad, but the fries and plantains are also great options. The ceviche had wonderful flavor with fresh toppings and delicious house-made plantain chips. The green beans were cooked perfectly, still crisp and topped with garlic and ginger that added great flavor. I've tried all of the empanadas, but this time I went with the veggie truffle mushroom, and it was delicious. The dipping sauce that comes with both the empanadas and the chicken is so yummy! My absolute favorite dish is the truffle mac and cheese. It's rich, creamy, and incredibly flavorful without feeling too heavy. The truffle is perfectly balanced and makes it one of the best! Limón continues to be one of my go-to spots because the food is consistently fresh and flavorful!

The salad and french fries were crowded on the plate. The presentation was not easy on the eyes. The french fries were cold and not fresh like they have been sitting there a long time. The waiter was not the most upbeat and friendly . He wasn't very attentive, and came as the meal was at the end, asking if everything is ok? My husband and son were still eating when they took my plate and daughters when they were still eating their meal. Usually when people are all finished, then you clear the table. We were outside eating and it was fine. It was rather cold, the waiter could have asked if we wanted the heat lamp turned on. Overall, I will continue to go to the Walnut Creek location where the service, ambiance, and food is top notch .

Everything I've tried has been delicious, and the sauces are seriously amazing. They make their own chimichurri sauce, a super spicy habanero sauce, and a creamy white sauce that somehow makes every bite even better. The fresh juices are also worth trying. You can tell they're actually fresh. This spot is flavorful, memorable, and absolutely worth going out of your way for.

They have a variety of options , including salads, bowls, wraps and sandwiches. They also had multiple customizable options for vegetarians or vegans that included impossible patty, broccoli or veggies . I got the Quesawrap with Maduros ( plantains ) and veggies options. It came with a side salad as well. Unfortunately , they made the wrap with some seafood or meat , the 1st time. Luckily ,I checked before eating and notified the staff. They made a new one for me and comped off some amount from the bill. The staff was very friendly. They also have a bunch of interesting sauces . Would try this place again

Location is hidden behind a tree and it's nice because it gives it a feel of "hidden away". It is a small but still spacious location. So much cute decorations on the wall that it truly feels like you are transported somewhere else. We got seated immediately as soon as we walked in. We got water for the table why we waited for the rest of the party. we ordered: -elote tots 10/10 they were so good and the tots gave it a nice crunchy feeling -Chilaquiles (no meat but yes egg) 10/10 they have red or green sauce we went with green -Pozole my tio always orders this anytime it's on the menu and he said it was great. -civiche de camaron 8/10 I enjoyed them but I wish they had a bit more flavor, I kept asking for peoples lime or hot sauce to give it just that extra flavor -Maz main my aunt said the salad alone was a bit dry and the dressing it came with thick like spread instead of dressing so she was just "ok" with it. They also have really good mocktails. Its a nice location that can please anyone that is pescatarian, vegetarian or willing to try something new with the different meat options

We ordered the shared appetizer plate which had great presentation and decent flavor and variety. I'm not sure why the tamale is an extra $5 rather than just being included in this plate, since it didn't really add that much. I was also surprised that the chips and salsa were so pricey for a relatively small portion, while other places give chips and salsa for free. The pork plate I ordered had good variety with the tortillas and plantains, and I liked the flavor of the rice and beans, but the meat itself was salty and didn't have much depth of flavor. Maybe that's just how the dish is but I wasn't impressed. A lot of my friends' food was burnt, dry, or both. One of them had to send the fish tacos back because they were fried to a dark brown color and tasted burnt. Portions were fair for the price. The service was also just okay, not super welcoming, warm, or accommodating. I do like the ambiance of the restaurant. Based on the food quality I don't think I'll be back.

The happy hour menu was pretty awesome as well. If you aren't interested in food but looking for a place to get drinks, the cocktails here are also on point. South San Francisco is a stones throw from where we live and even though there are some solid casual spots, we don't find too many places in this area where you can get amazing food, craft cocktails, and this kind of ambiance. With that being said we were ecstatic to discover this hidden gem. It checks all the boxes!! We ordered the Caesar salad, pozole, burger & Fries, and beef tacos from the happy hour menu. Everything was so good and I am not just saying that! The Caesar salad came served with slices of avocado. Not traditional, but absolutely delicious and nicely dressed. The burger was beautiful and juicy and cooked to perfection. It came served with those french fries that have that extra layer of crispiness.on them. I call them 'next level fries' because that's what they are. My favorite thing, hands down, were the tacos. Oh my God... the tacos!! There are a lot of great Taquerias in the Bay Area but this place can contend. I'm serious. Perfect crispy tacos that came served with this beautiful salsa verde. Truthfully we ordered so much food but the tacos were so good we got another order of them. I ordered a Paloma and it was the perfect drink to go with my tacos. This was our first and only time eating here, but this will definitely be a regular spot for us. I hope moving forward this place stays as wonderful as our experience was tonight. It's such a joy to have an experience like this that doesn't require us driving to San Mateo or San Francisco. It's about time we had places like this in this area. The staff that helped us was also wonderful. The young lady who served us was friendly and helpful with the menu, the bussers were great and there was another lady who checked in on us and helped us throughout the meal. Great service, great staff, terrific food. Please keep up the good work.

I'm an al pastor burrito guy and this one was way too heavy on the spice/seasoning and kinda overpowered everything. Also there was barely any trace of tater tots which I was really looking forward to. My daughters ate the asada and said it was just ok. One thing is that the burritos are smaller than your super at El Farolito but they do pack it in there and it's pretty filling! The birria was actually pretty good and they gave a couple different sauces and cabbage and I would recommend it. I was also looking forward to eating the churro donuts on the drive back home because I thought they would be hot n good but that wasn't the case. They musta pulled them out from under a warming lamp because they were barely lukewarm to cold so that was a fail. Overall, it's not bad, but definitely pricier than most of the other popular Mex spots and now that I think about it, I probably won't go back because of it. There's plenty good Mex around for a lot less $$. I coulda gotten 3 super burritos from Farolito for $35 vs ~$75 that I paid at Suavecito.
