Restaurants in Pacifica

“Great food and love supporting local Pacifica restaurants!”

“My first time ordering door dash for this restaurant and it did not disappoint!! I ordered 6 dishes total and it was only a little over $100 subtotal, wow, can't get this amount of food anywhere else in the bay area!! All the dishes came piping hot (thanks to the door dash driver) and each container was filled to the brim! I felt like this $100 was well spent, I'm so glad I found this little gem. You guys just earned another loyal returning customers :) please stay in business so I don't have to cook as much!”

“Such a warm and welcoming place! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and they even gave free juice to the kids, which made them so happy. The food was fresh, flavorful, moist, and absolutely delicious—the best meal we’ve had on our entire San Francisco trip. Highly recommend this spot for both the food and the amazing hospitality!”

“Superb 4 star in my book.”

“I didn’t expect the hot pot place in Pacifica was good but wow~~~
We were looking for some hot food after an hour watching whales by the beach.
We found this place on Google maps and gave it a try.
$40 per person for AYCE hot pot and grill which is great price in Bay Area.
We ordered about 40 items most were good and fresh.
The lady waitress was very friendly giving us suggestions. We definitely will come back!”

“Food is good and good size portions”

“Gillian & Gina run a beautiful business. My favorite thing to do is to make a reservation and bring friends to get the traditional Afternoon Tea Service. They also offer a more casual walk-up menu. This menu includes assorted Tea Sandwiches, Scones served with Clotted Cream and Preserves, Crumpets served with Meyer Lemon Curd, Assorted Sweets and a large variety of Loose-Leaf Teas. Everything is delicious. Also this past year they have been generously hosting Pop Ups for local makers. They also have lots of treasures for sale. Lovey's is a wonderful place.”

“Fun surfer punk dive bar with cheap drinks and outdoor patio, complete with surfboards. Free popcorn and occasional handcrafted wood oven Italian pizza for sale outside. Surprisingly, many big names have played at this tiny beach venue, like The Mummies & Supersuckers! This place continues to create new memories for me each time!”

“La atención y la comida muy buena”

“Great wines and lite bites”

“An absolute gem! The food and drink, the people, the vibes, and the decor are all amazing. Love that we have Golden Sol in Pacifica. Get ya mind, body, and soul right!”

“This restaurant deserves 10 stars! It is the best Chinese restaurant in the Bay area.”

“Revisited this spot & still so good. Tried the vegan iced Thai tea for the first time and it was delicious!! The alternative is coconut milk fyi. My go to is the pork ban mi but most items I’ve had are good. A perf little spot after spending the day in Pacifica surf or hiking. Ps. Love that they are always blasting the jams in there!

Dietary restrictions: Vegan options for drinks!”

“Good prices comparatively, the tofu sandwich was $9. To make it vegan get it with no mayo. The tofu was marinated and saucy so the sandwich was still moist. Small amount of seating inside. They can also make tofu spring rolls and tofu noodles (not on the menu but they have a picture of it on the wall).”

“We stopped in recently for tacos from Guerrero's Taqueria. I had the grilled chicken and El Pastor tacos and both were very good. They offer complimentary chips and salsa and the salsa was also very good. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about.”

“Amazing coffee , amazing bagels, amazing people, amazing location. I went on Monday morning the two young men working there were amazing very respectful very good energy. Thank you, you guys made my day better 💕💕😘”

“Best bran muffins and I love the pumpkin pie.”

“Closest place to get a coffee and watch the waves and whales. Chili link was decent.”

“I had the bulletproof coffee, light roast with half and half. It is so delicious even with no sweetener. I highly recommend you stop in, the staff is super friendly and fast.”

“their chocolate cream pie is rich and tasty!”

“Friendly staff and yummy tea. Thank you”

“Family owned sushi spot worth visiting! The food took a bit but that's because the food is prepared by the grandfather. He puts alot into his food and it shows. It's small place that could be easily missed. Great sushi and we would love to come again when in the area.”

“Great friendly cafe, right on Pacifica’s beach. Lots of whale watching and hang gliders nearby. Super music on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am until 4pm.”

“Such a great menu! These guys are the best!”

“Cute place, friendly service, nice atmosphere, great white hot chocolate.”

“good food Coffey and people”

“Yum… Can’t get enough of P-Town Coffee n Tea.”

“Breaker’s is a great comfortable place to get a broad variety of “comfort food” at a reasonable price. Staff are very welcoming and attentive. Portions are definitely biased towards large. Our favorites are Crab Panini, Patty Melt, and Monte Christo. Definitely an affordable casual good quality restaurant close to picturesque scenery with numerous hiking trails.”

“Came here for the first time and I’m impressed! The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the beef teriyaki and it was cooked perfectly — tender, flavorful, and the sauce was spot on. The presentation was beautiful as well. My wife had the Sushi Salmon Paradise and loved every bite, and my father devoured the Megabite roll. We also had the tempura string beans with onions — crispy, light, and just downright delicious. This place is a welcome addition to the neighborhood — you’ve got to try it!”

“Longboard Bar and the people of Pacifica are a whole vibe. I cannot express this deep enough. Nestled along the coast, this venue is spacious, the service and hospitality of the bartenders is on point, and the people, oh the people. I'm from the city and I didn't know they got down like that.!!! Super chill or super hype within reason. You have to go!”

“Customer service is great!”

“The meat was tender and smokey with rich flavor. The ribs were tasty. My wife liked the brisket, it was moist and had good texture. The beans were ordinary. The slaw was good. Everyone liked the corn bread.”

“Stopped in on Monday, Indigenous People's Day when they seemed to be one of the few restaurants open. So happy we did. Our waiter, David, made excellent low-cal suggestions, was prompt, attentive, and remembered our names. Everyone was exceptionally welcoming. Very close to Pacifica Beach. Highly recommend.”

“I’ve been a fan of The Green Enchilada for many years. The owners and staff are phenomenally warm and will remember you. I’ve been here countless times since before the expansion into the neighboring unit and always bring out-of-town visitors for lunch or dinner. I’ve never had an issue ordering vegan options.”

“Found this gem on a random Wednesday waiting to drop off my. Bestie at the airport after flight was delayed. Highly recommend this place!! Cheap, STRONG drinks. If you are not a professional do not attempt this maneuver without a designated driver!!! Outstanding specialty cocktail menu. Everyone was super friendly. We even got free pizza (that was delicious) from next door.. Didn’t get the bartenders names but they were awesome. After playing Scotty doesn’t know 3 times on the jukebox I k ow they won’t forget us. Even the guy that came in to clean their taps was great. Outdoor patio was cute but it was raining so we didn’t get to enjoy it. Will definitely be back with reinforcements.”

“I had their americano, and on another day I had their Guatemalan coffee with a little bit of sugar. Man they know what they are doing. Loved their coffee ☕️ so much that I had to leave a review! ?”

“This place is wonderful! I've tried almost everything on the menu, standout items are xiaolongbao, fresh cucumber salad, zha-jiang noodles, and spicy wontons. All of the vegetable dishes are good, but the spicy green beans are my favorite. I live in the neighborhood so I go every week, one of the best places in linda mar.”

“The food is amazing! Armando is a FANTASTIC server!!”

“Great vegetarian options and sauces 😋”

“I just wish they were open Sundays!!”

“Everything are so delicious, I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends.”

“You have to try it. The place is great, the service is very good but the food is amazingly good. Healthy oriental food and self cooking on a spicy-based soup hot pot (or not spicy) with unlimited entrees and appetizers. For dessert, tey the mango sherbet. The Pacifica view right off highway 1 is amazing 👏”

“Great pho, pork chops, wonton noodles soup 🍜 and wide option of rice plates and dry vermicelli bowls. I’m so glad we have a great Vietnamese restaurant in Pacifica. Highly recommend.”

“Here on vacation, saw the reviews of this place, and so glad we stopped by to try. It's take out only, owned and operated by a nice couple. Family of 4 was only $58. The food was hot, tasty, and enough of a portion size to fill you up. We will definately come back next time we are in town.”

“Tea World is my favorite boba shop in Pacifica.”

“Great staff, excellent customer service.”

“I had my birthday dinner with friends there. The Owner and Staff was so accommodating and attentive! We all had a wonderful time! The food was fresh, flavorful, and felt authentic. The whole place has such a warm, welcoming vibe. Thank for making my birthday special!”

“Claire and Suna are sweet and welcoming. I have been a customer for a handful of months now and they make me feel like family. I enjoy their coffee (latte), their hot turkey sandwich is solid and açaí bowls.”

“It was a delight finding your place! We looked at 2 other places before you... one scared us, 😆 and one was just not for us! We found your little place! Burgers were great! Onion rings awesome!! Atmosphere 💯! Thank you”

“Lots of hazy IPAs (or foggy IPAs as they call them) at reasonable prices for a craft brewery. The beers and food come out quickly using their QR code ordering system. I recommend the seasoned tater tots.”

“What I appreciate most about this cozy local gem is the delicious honest food, staff and ambiance. It’s just an honest to goodness great place that’s been here for decades and I truly respect that, in an era where most restaurants get too fancy with chaotic music and weird fusion menus for the sake of being “cool.” But not here. This husband and wife team deserve all the patronage, they are hardworking and genuinely friendly folks. Upon entering, the wife came out from back, greeted us right away and offered us to pick any table. We ordered some beer, Tom Yum Koong and Pad Thai. Fairly basic items but there was something special about each of them. The beer was ICE cold and also came with a frosty mug. I don’t know why most restaurants/bars don’t offer the frosty mug anymore but it’s a detail that shows an extra level of thoughtfulness for their customers. Next, the Tom Yum Koong soup, which came out quickly. Note: a medium level heat is still fairly tolerable. The highlight of this soup was a surprising slight sweetness, we couldn’t place where from but it was pleasant and overall delicious. Lastly, the well plated shrimp Pad Thai with generous sauce had excellent depth of flavor. We were so impressed with a tasty affordable dinner, which came out to less than $60. I also appreciated the little tamarind candy that came with the bill. Parking is easy as there’s a small lot in front and street parking. There are so many small details to love at Pacifica Thai. We look forward to returning soon!”

“i seldom dine-in in this place but always when i crave for some pizza and especially a great delicious pasta VIVA ITALIANO IS THE BEST @ pacifica, ca. They served always the food freshly cooked and it’s really delicious and the people that worked there are friendly. Worth everything!”

“Great food and love supporting local Pacifica restaurants!”

“My son took me here for lunch - we’d been meaning to try it. We were very pleased - amazing view with tiered tables so other guests aren’t blocking the view. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious and nicely presented. As a nice addition, there was a pianist playing while we dined which added to the ambience. We will come back because it was such a nice treat. One of those places that makes me love living in California!”

“the people are tu nice,❤️👌 everything it's clean 👍🏼🍻👌”

“Our first time here. Wanted to try a different Japanese restaurant vs our usual. Parking was convenient. They have a small parking lot on the back. We ordered to share: caterpillar sushi roll, chicken karage ( not twice fried)and vegetable tempura. (Thicker battered). But not bad. We each ordered: Tonkatsu Don, bento box salmon and chicken teriyaki , bento box tonkatsu and sesame chicken chicken udon, and nabeyaki udon. Drinks: Sapporo beer. Overall, food was good and they came super fast. While eating, I noticed they had a lot of orders Togo. Quite busy with take outs. We definitely will come back.”

“The señorita bread is incredible! We will definitely be back for more. The person working the register when we visited last night was extremely warm and helpful!”

“Wonderful stop for a healthy and delicious lunch! As a family we struggle a lot with finding good places to eat when we're out, and this one was simply - THE ONE! best we've ever experienced in terms of taste, freshness, variety, healthy options and overall satisfaction. Looking up a branch closer to our house”

“good food with huge serves.. very casual.”

“My 6 friends and I arrived and the place was empty to our surprise, but we received amazing service from all employees, including the cooks! Portions were generous and food was amazing.”

“This small cafe is a local family owned and operated business. During busy days, you can tell they keep providing the best service possible. Nancy is kind and friendly, usually the only waittress. It's a nice small place and they do rearrange a couple of tables for bigger parties. We've tried various plates from here, but the following 2 are top favorites (there was a 3rd but forgot to take a picture). The following is the Maya Burger ( added bacon and egg) highly recommended and is available after 11 AM. The other is a banana French toast that was superior in taste compared to many other places in the Bay Area. Lastly, the Dollar size pancakes are ones that you should try. During all of our visits, here have always been a 5 out of 5 for the food and service, even during busy hours, and we understand that is extremely difficult for a small business to do every day. Yes, they open every day, and the shopping center has various places to check out after a nice meal.”

“Bonito lugar con linda vista Asia el mar”

“Great place for families. and go to after kids games. Val & Max very customer oriented.”

“I've been dining at this restaurant for club events for several years. Our club receives a varied menu: prime rib, Chicken Cordon Bleu, salmon or surf and turf. The price of our meals include wine, hors d'oeuvres, dessert and gratuity. That's pretty reasonable given today's expensive eateries. The staff is friendly, personable and professional. Food is prepared quickly and efficiently. I recommend this restaurant for small parties/groups. 😊”

“The best place to eat Hot & sour soup in pacifica.”

“5star...best homemade food, prices and portions on the Coast!”

“I love pad Thai pad see Ew bbq chicken bbq libs for 5star”

“The service and food are 5 star.. This is the only place I know where if you ask just for a meat burrito nothing else in it , you will get a regular size burrito full of meat not like other places where the size of the burrito reduces to a small roll. They are very generous with the quantity and chips and salsa are unlimited , food tastes fresh and delicious .”

“They might close before 9? Walked in Friday night at 7:20pm and most of the lights were out (but their door was open). Asked if they were open and a older gentleman gestured for us to sit. (Update: Tried to go at 7:40pm another night and they were already shut down tighter than a drum. It's like they're allergic to money.)

Food was good but service was odd. Like if you didn't grow up with a surly, emotionally distant Asian mom like I did, you may feel uncomfortable. For instance, the first thing out of her mouth was not "welcome" or simply "hi," but "no more buffet." Not sure if they meant "today" or "*ever*," but I didn't ask...?

I think the woman was the chef and not only the waitress because she walked between the kitchen and the fridge (just out in the dining room) a lot as well as served us, while the man mostly just sat there.

Garlic chicken, mo hinga (fish soup), and pork curry were great. The mo hinga was not fishy and was topped with delicious fried lentils that were like a crunchier version of tempura flakes. The pork curry included hunks of soft, gelatinous tendon (not fat but you might get confused) and came with rice. The rice noodles were a bit thin and on the cusp of becoming too soft.

Tea leaf salad was good too but not as good as at Rangoon Ruby. You have to mix it a lot or the clumps of tea will be too salty.

I feel a little snubbed that another reviewer got homemade chili sauce but we got a bottle of Huy Fong sriracha, lol.

Portions and prices are reasonable. Two of us polished off 4 dishes.

Shan noodles are apparently the dish to get at Burmese, according to Eater San Francisco, but I didn't notice they had it until later.

The menu has no prices and the bill apparently includes tax and doesn't charge any B.S. fees. We tipped well and paid cash because I couldn't trust Maps saying they take card and communication was a bit difficult.”

“Highest quality bagels! Incredible service.”

“Super delish! Service is good....”

“Great all around restaurant! appraiser's, pizza, and dinners! Great Family Place!”

“This is the perfect place to get a great bite of food and a tasty beer. Relaxed environment with a friendly Seahorse / ocean vibe. Owner is welcoming and makes some incredible food. They have tv, music, fireplace and games. Check it out when you’re in the area! 10/10.”

“One of the few fast food options with real vegetables available and all at a reasonable price. The new app brings some much appreciated discounts for repeat customers. This particular location can be fairly generous with portions but once in a while you will get one of the smaller servers who also thinks smaller portions of food is acceptable but I would disagree. Service is fast and almost never out of any of the main dishes or available mostly fresh in a few minutes of ordering. Thank you to all staff for providing good service at one of the few options for health concerned people.”

“My favorite Chinese restaurant. We eat there each time I visit my family at Daly City and they also do home delivery!”

“Ok, so, I love a good pozole, but I also have some stomach issues that make it so I can’t really process hot spicy food well, so I often can’t find a pozole that works for me and still is deep and rich like I want. Their pozole here is a rare and delicious exception! It’s rich deep broth sings and the hot oil is in the side so I was able to dig in and have an amazing lunch before heading to the beach to chill out for a bit. I’ll be back, often.

I also had their carnitas burrito and it slapped pretty hard too.

That said, the quesadilla was just a bit meh.”

“Great Sandwiches n Chowder 👍🏽”

“The staff at the Oceana Blvd. Starbucks is awesome!! They are very personable, remember your name and what you like to drink. They wished me a happy birthday the day before my birthday ( when I used my birthday reward) Then on my birthday they wished me a happy birthday again. Good job!!!”
