The quesabirria was disappointing but when i was ordering a lot of the other food looked really good and the salsa had amazing flavor. This spot has potential but i think I need to order more strategically here. read more

Went for Lunch Food - 5/5. Tortilla chips were crisp and I enjoyed the large variety of salsa they offered. Each of them tasted vibrantly fresh with varying degrees of spice. Carne asada had great char marks and nice flavor from the marinade. The grilled vegetables had nice color also. Rice was fluffy, beans were creamy and they all combined well in the warm tortillas. Service - 4/5. Friendly and quick service. Value - 5/5. The prices are very reasonable with most items being in the single digits and plates such as the carne asada being in the low to mid 10s. Delicious food at a great price! Parking - Street (Free) read more

Wow. Just wow! We love finding new spots in Pacifica and we finally made our way to taqueria Pacifica. 10/10 bang for your buck, 10/10 flavors, and 10/10 speedy service. We got the birria tacos that were packed with juicy meat and the consome was so savory and delicious. We also got a quesadilla marina (corn quesadilla with shrimp) that was stuffed full of tender shrimp. Extra points for the tasty salsa options! We will be back soon. read more

Great taqueria a few blocks from the Pacifica Pier. Grab some food to take to the Pier or a great spot to rest and eat after spending time on the Pier or Beach. Quesabirria tacos are delicious they also have breakfast burrito's and plates. read more

Taqueria Pacifica - Chorizo Breakfast Burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Pacifica, California

We were happy to find this great spot for tasty tacos and burritos in Pacifica. The staff is friendly and suggested food that met my very strict (at that time) diet. I jealously watched my bestie eat her birria tacos, and even indulged in one small bite myself. The birria here is delicious! Otherwise I stuck with my limited option of a breakfast burrito w/just egg and cheese, which actually tasted quite yummy (and I was super hungry). I was very happy that the tortilla was fresh and the eggs were made-to-order. We ate on the sunny patio behind the restaurant, I think the patio is shared with the business next door. There was also lots of seating inside the taqueria. The restaurant is clean, and I want to mention again how friendly and kind the staff were. I would return here again for sure, hopefully when I can enjoy the full extent of the menu options. read more

Just wanted to hop on here to say that even 1 year later, I still love this place! So much so that I brought my dog and he thoroughly enjoyed himself! Ordered him a chicken and steak taco with nothing on it & as you can see from the picture -- he was very excited to dig in! I ordered a supreme quesadilla and it was SOO good! read more

Let me be clear we are not knowledgeable about how Mexican food is supposed to taste. We went here because the reviews were good and ordered the birria tacos and also the chile relleno burrito. Both were delicious to us. We took out and brought it home and had it with margaritas. The birria was super juicy before we sauced the critters, and after we dipped it in the consommé, we then wanted to DRINK the consommé without dipping. The chile relleno in the burrito was stuffed with cheese and the whole thing was just perfectly balanced in terms of flavor- beans, rice, chile relleno, and soft tortilla in every bite. We live just few blocks from El Farolito and their burritos never made us feel this good in terms of eating experience. If you're in Pacifica, this is definitely a lunch or dinner place that will not disappoint. read more

Yummy food and good service! A nice place to eat. They have a big screen TV too! the soccer game was on and everyone was enjoying it!

Oh wow. That was delicious. We were looking for a place along our route for something seafood related. Found this place, got the super shrimp burrito, and it felt like there were multiple shrimp in every bite. Definitely recommend that you stop here if you find yourself in Pacifica, CA! read more

Taqueria Pacifica - Muy rica comida. 100% recomendado. - Mexican Near Me - Pacifica, California

Felt like the carne asada was overcooked. The chile verde and grilled chicken was good. Came around 4 pm and the salsa bar was out. Positive there is salsa bar and free chips with order $9 or more. I asked about the verde and she said no more. 30 mins later all the salsa was out and they refilled one of the salsa but took a while because they do it on demand. Should have these salsa stocked for the day to refill. Felt like low staff - 3 guys 1 gal. Gal took food order and line was almost out the door. One of the guys brought the food. Since they are so short staffed busy fulfilling orders, no time to clean tables. Some customers they cant clean up after themselves leaves their dirty dishes on table and walks away when there is a cart where you just take the dishes to. Saw new patrons have to take other peoples dishes and clean up after themselves so they can use the table. read more

We had high hopes but this taqueria was disappointing to say the least. We ordered a simple meal of super nachos and a burrito. We waited almost 40 minutes for our small meal, when only 3-4 orders were ahead of us. Carne asada was bland. Nachos are basically sitting soggy in bean soup. Their "salsa" was watered down tomato sauce. The reason for such low rating is their nonexistent customer service. What was EXTREMELY annoying was that we had repeatedly asked the lady taking our orders FIVE times if she could clean the outside table for us (it was dirty, food speckled the table and used napkins everywhere and hello - COVID?) and she happily agreed. I said thanks! So we waited. And waited. And waited. 40 minutes passed and she didn't even bring our orders to us like she did with the other customers. She called our number and waited for us to pick it up. Our table? Left dirty and still unattended. You do know you can leave the cash register for a minute so you can care for customers that you so proudly boast your service about, right? We were too hungry to complain about the cleanliness of our environment. The food only tasted decent because we were basically starving. Have no idea why this place has 4 stars. Do yourself a favor and save your money. read more

I came here with my friend he's been coming here since the year 2000 when it was named Grano De Oro. They changed the name and remodeled it very clean and have outdoor seating in the back. The food was delicious. I had a super burrito with two kinds of meat, Al pastor and Carnitas. It was delicious the orange sauce is fire! Oh, the nice thing is you get free drink chips and salsa with your super burrito. That's a plus. Thank you, Taqueria Pacifica, for being the happy ending post-hike. read more

The green salsa is amazing. Veggie burrito 4/5. Chips 3/5. Service 5/5. Ambiance 5/5.

I come here all the time with my stepdad, he's half-Mexican and he loves the place, like me. I'm not Mexican, but maybe I was in another life, because it's my favorite kind of food. I recently became Vegetarian, well, 2 years ago, and the nice thing about Mexican food is that there are still a lot of things for you to eat if you don't eat meat. A lot of places have given up using lard, including this one. Yay! So I'm good if I want to eat refried beans or cheese enchiladas, which are two of my favorite dishes. There's a difference between a Vegetarian and a Vegan. Vegans don't eat any animal products. Vegetarians still eat cheeses and other dairy products that can be produced without, well, killing animals. If anything had to die for me to eat it, I'm not touching it. I'm not much of a cook, so I was a year or two into being a Vegetarian before I found out from one of the Mexican restaurants that lard comes from animals, so I make it a point of asking now before I order my food. Happily, Taqueria Pacifica is lard-free! I also love the rice here, the flavor is wonderful, it's very tasty. The stewed Pinto Beans are awesome. It's really inexpensive to buy a medium or large tub of rice. I often buy a large tub of Pinto Beans to take home for 2 or three meals. It only costs $6 for a whole quart of them. If you like to eat them in a bowl like I do, be sure to ask for some extra liquid in the tub. I finally remembered to ask them do that last the last time that my stepdad and I went to get food. When I was eating them, I almost cried because they tasted just like the Pinto Beans that Mom used to make. We just lost her in December. I got my stepdad to try some, and we spent the rest of the meal talking about what a great cook she was and how much we missed her. I think that the name change was a really good move on their part because they are a different restaurant than the old place, and in my opinion, the best Mexican place in Pacifica. I think that Taqueria Pacifica is the perfect name. read more

Holy Smokes!!! Drove over from South Bay to visit family and thought to stop by this location, nostalgic for us having grown up in the area. Ordered a carne asada super burrito, carne asada tacos, and a shrimp quesadilla. Everything was perfectly seasoned (looking for a food orgasm for your taste buds and palate?) The salsas provide a fresh and balanced flavor (we tried the hot red and green salsas). Job well done, Taqueria Pacifica. We haven't found a taqueria that knows how to season their meats with this much flavor in a LONG time. Chef's kiss read more

Half of the food was good and the other half was way over cooked. It was a disappointing dinner.

The restaurant came under new management during the pandemic, and they no longer cook my favorite type of meat - chile colorado (pork in red sauce). The quality went down noticeably after the old lady who'd been there for 30+ years gave the place up. It's still a pretty good little local taqueria, but I had to downgrade it to 4 stars from my original 5 due to this change in ownership and decline in quality. read more

We enjoyed the carne asada and pollo asado tacos. Also carne asada super quesadillas and chile relleno. Salsa was spicy good! Spacious room

Quesabirra tacos now available here! I did not see on menu, but asked the cashier and said they now serve! $9.99 for 3 tacos, consommé and some sides (limes, salsa, chips). Great deal, great tacos! read more

Amazing! Really authentic Mexican food - coming from a Latinx foodie. Highly recommend the torta al pastor.

I love this place. It's my guilty pleasure to go here after the gym and it absolutely delivers every time.

If you decide to stop by you will find out the price listed on the menu will not match the same price you pay at the counter. The restaurant is light and airy and you will definitely not be disappointed on how quickly the staff serves the food, however, majority of the value is in the location not so much the food. This is a wonderful place to enjoy the atmosphere, and practice your Spanish. read more

The food was good but only got 4 out of 5 things from my order. Had to wait another 15 mins for food to be ready too. Yet still missed a dish. Didn't realize till I got home. Called but no pick up. Wasn't worth my time to drive back to Pacifica from SF. I'm sure they have my number and probably should have realized they had an extra dish but didn't care to do anything about it. Oh well. read more

Came here for Carne Asada Fries. Looked very Promising after reading reviews and seeing pictures but upon seeing them prepare our order it was literally just steak fries with carne asada, melted microwaved cheese and sour cream . When we asked if there's any pico de gallo or guacamole included, they charged us $3 for a dinky small saucer cup that you normally use for the build your own salsa bar. I know times are rough, but you won't gain great rapport from skimping your own guests. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Pacifica! What a gem! I am a regular at Taqueria Pacifica. My favorites are the veggie tostada plate and the regular chili relleno burrito with refried beans, both topped with the amazing green salsa from the salsa bar. Bonus points for being next to Table Wine and sharing an outdoor patio with them. Really friendly employees too! read more

We picked up tacos from here on a Sunday evening and enjoyed our meal! The food was tasty, the staff was friendly, and the food was prepared in a reasonable amount of time. My husband and I each had three tacos and found that a decent amount of food for a meal - we each got the following: 1) Chili verde taco - tender, delicious pork - our favorite! 2) Chicken taco - very flavorful 3) Shrimp taco - the shrimp tasted fresh and the portion was generous, but it was a bit lacking in seasoning The service was reasonably fast and friendly. We really appreciated the fact that they labeled the takeout box containing the tacos without onions "no onions" for clarity. The tacos held up well as takeout and were in good shape when we got home and ate them 45 minutes later. The microwaveable takeout containers were helpful and convenient. The prices are good and the location, near the Pacifica pier, is convenient (we had just gone to the pier to watch the sunset). This is a good spot and we look forward to returning! read more

New owners/staff is not good at all. Took so long 23 minutes to get my order of 3 tacos and 1 overpriced shrimp quesedillo. Then they come out to my truck and asked me if they gave me 2 bags??? Of what??? The food was very mediocre. Blah. I'm going to stay at the loyal to the one at the Manor exit and never coming back here again! These guys don't even have Pico de Gallo (fresh) salsa!!! read more

We had the chorizo breakfast burrito and the asada burrito. Both were amazing and one of the best breakfast burritos I've had in awhile. The chorizo was not too salty and had a good crispness to it. The salsas they had were all great and complemented the burritos really well. This place is definitely worth visiting while in Pacifica. read more

First time eating from here. It wasn't horrible but definitely not the best taqueria in Pacifica. Carne asada burrito was unremarkable. Not a whole lot of flavor to it, even the salsa itself. Carne was good (minimal cartilage); something I can be pretty particular about. The beans were undercooked while the rice was over cooked and split but still very dry. Unfortunately that's what most of the burrito was filled with so it really takes away from it. Same goes for the grilled chicken burrito though the meat wasn't as good. Lot of cartilage unfortunately. When trying new places, I usually always get the most known / basic dishes to start out; figuring they are the most practiced dishes and most likely to be made the best. It's what makes me hesitant to return to try something else on the menu. "If a breakfast shop can't get an egg right they must not be that great" kind of mentality. read more

I have been ordering food at this location since it was El Grano de Oro. I was at first skeptical about new ownership because I loved the ladies and cooks from the El Grano days. I would like to say KUDOS to this new ownership for persevering through 2 years of COVID and having to build a new reputation on top of that. I usually order the Chile Relleno burrito, Bean and Cheese burrito, and Taco Salad. I am quite satisfied with all the items I have ordered and eaten. And continue to return weekly. Obviously my taste buds are satisfied and would say the food is delicious! Love their pico de gallo. Their chips and salsa bar is delicious too with a green tomatillo, red salsa, and special orange fiery salsa along with pickled radishes, pickled onions/jalapeños, fresh limes, pickled jalapeños. read more

Got a steak/shrimp quesadilla and birria tacos. All delicious. I love all of the hot sauces- especially the green one. You can walk up and grab chips and salsa on your own after you order.
