50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Moss Beach

“This establishment is my preferred choice for lunch. I typically order the super burrito with extra cheese and no sour cream. The burrito is both satisfying and does not induce post-meal fatigue. I have been a loyal customer for an extended period. I highly recommend visiting this location to sample their exceptional cuisine.“

“I was there with my daughter and we both have great appetite. plates have plenty of food and it was delicious so much that my daughter bought extra hot sauce she really enjoyed it well so do I. highly recommended and I will visit you guys again whenever I go back to California.“

“Great crispy carnitas. Huge and well constructed burritos. Amazing salsa bar. This is a perfect taqueria.

When we went it was crowded and took a while to receive food. To me this is a good thing, because they took their time to prepare good food. Also parking was somewhat hard to find in its industrial neighborhood. Plan accordingly!“

“I've tried all the vegetarian burritos in town, and La Perla has the best. All ingredients of a super burrito (minus meat) and comes with extra veggies inside - peppers, onions, and spinach fajita style - rather than just a regular burrito, but with less, like most places do. It stands out among the Mexican restaurants in town for vegetarian options. Very good homemade salsas“

“We got 2 super burritos and one regular quesadilla. Ordered on the kiosk and the food came within 5 minutes. A few tables of seating and good vibes and music. The burrito was a good portion and super stuffed. They give you a free churro if you leave them a google review“

“Let's start with the amazing food I had ,lets add the perfect service that it was provided by Marta Melendez, her smile and attitude was the best part ! Thank you Marta for your excellent service, the food was amazing ?! Marta keep the smile on her face ,even that I was a super busy day she was making us feel happy with her service! A big plus ,for the restaurant for having people like Marta!“

“La Tapatia makes The Best " Carnitas " I've ever tasted "Muy Bueno" I buy Some at least 4x a month with freshly made Corn Tortillas ummmm 👍“

“Eat here you will not regret it“

“First time trying the food at this spot and all I can say is that I got surprised, I ordered an alambre and when I got home it overpass my expectations, not only that flavor is good but the presentation was amazing, I'll be back for sure!“

“I go out of my way to get La Mordida' salsa. Generous self serve salsa bar, delicious Chipotle, Verde, pickled jalapeños and carrots, and spicy peppers and mango salsa (I miss the spicy cucumber salad they used to have all the time. The vegetarian options are good, sometimes just all right, but they are very consistent and everything is very fresh. I can make a whole side dish out of their salsa bar while I wait for my order, which makes this my favorite taqueria in town. The one star is missing from my review in atmosphere, only because it's usually quite loud so I only do to-go. I've only sat inside to eat once or twice. The staff is wonderful, helpful, and kind, even with language barriers. Never gotten my order wrong“

“My son and I YELPED for Mexican food.Good Mexican Food, and decided to give this place a try. I had the Spicy Shrimp Plate, and my son had the Steak and Spicy Prawns. They also provide Tortilla Chips and a Salsa Bar. The guy who cooked our food, knows how to cook! My shrimp was absolutely a balance of green/red peppers, onions, in a slightly sweet, savory and mildly spicy sauce. The Rice was done just right(not dried out).The Black Beans, were tender, with just the right amount of salt. The Iceberg lettuce and sliced radish was cold, fresh and crispy— Served with a dollop of sour cream, avocado sauce; a slice of tomato and sprinkle of Mexican cheese top the salad - it did a nice job to balance the heat of the main course. Everything was well executed. The overall indoor atmosphere is very clean, simple and no frills. Love their neon menu signage. And, their prices are reasonable. Thank you for the delicious meal. We will be back.“

“This took me far too long to write, but I wanted to find the right words to say. My husband and I had been waiting two long years to get married. We postponed twice because of the pandemic and in the course of that time changed our venue to San Benito House. Let me tell you, that was the BEST decision we ever made. Not only is the venue itself incredibly beautiful and the food so delicious, but Kai and his staff bent over backwards for us and all of our guests. Kai is the ultimate hype guy and he took what normally would have been a stressful event to plan, and made it so easy and fun. I would (and will) recommend that anyone who is wanting a Half Moon Bay wedding, that this is the ultimate place to go. Our guests are still talking about the day and if we could, we’d do it 1000 times over just to experience the magic again. Thank you, thank you, thank you! To Kai and the incredible staff, you are truly THE BEST.“

“Picked up two veggie burritos today and it was under $20 y’all. The burritos were massive and had all kinds of good stuff like beans, rice, lettuce, sour cream and fresh guacamole. Also came with free chips and salsa. Service was lovely over the phone and at pickup. Will definitely be back for the value!“

“Cochinita is a wonderful place to enjoy a delicious meal. The food was flavorful, fresh, and well prepared, and the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making the whole experience enjoyable. I had a great time and would definitely come back again.“

“I sorta don't want to receive this because I want it all to myself. A bit behind and off the road, these tacos were great!! Had a couple of beers and tacos after a long hike above the coast. Service was a bit slow for tacos but nothing horrible (~10mins). Very nice staff and free chips and salsa inside (self service).“

“This place has the best quesadillas in the Bay Area. I have been coming here for over 20 years and even when I lived across the bay I would come back to try the quesadillas. The burritos are very good as well. The 49er burrito is delicious. The workers are the friendliest kindest people. This is a family owned delicious hidden gem in SSF. A legendary historic friendly spot“

“second time here, love the Ramon Biria with a side order of Quesabiria.“

“Their flavor is top tier and always generous! I always look forward to this food truck being in the area - definitely gets busy around lunch time but it goes by fast, and absolutely worth the quick wait. You can call in your order ahead of time as well. Their quality of food is so good - very flavorful! Just go here and stop second guessing it - here you will be full and happy :)“

“Authentic incredible eats. If you’re lucky enough to pass by and grab a bite , don’t miss the quesabirria plate, fried chicken and curly fries, as well as the tacos. Very generous with the guacamole and the best food and service. Thank you and can’t wait to be back during our annual trip to HMB“

“Great experience at Los Metates. I ordered tripa tacos, nicely crispy, and carnitas tacos—both were delicious and full of flavor.
My husband ordered carnitas tacos as well, and even though I don’t remember the other one he chose, I know he loved them because he devoured them!

The service was good; the girl who helped us was friendly and attentive. The place is calm and comfortable, with tables available to sit and enjoy your food.
Definitely a spot we would come back to.“

“HOLY COW!! This taco truck is fantastic. Ate here 5 times and everytime hit harder than the last. The ladies running it are super nice and helpful. The tacos are so tasty (may need a little more meat) and made to perfection. The gordita is a force to be reckoned with, bursting with flavor and so worth its weight in gold. All around great food truck... can of diet coke $4 was the only meh moment for me.“

“La atención y la comida muy buena“

“This may be our new favorite spot. Easier for us to get to. We've tried the Super Prawn Burrito and carne asada super nachos. I recommend both. The chips have the perfect crunch/crisp. Salsas are all great too. I was too hungry so no photos this time. Will definitely be back.“

“Feel like you need to deport yourself in San Bruno? Head over and indulge yourself out here out to Mexico! Had an amazing experience here for a to go order. Ordered the super burritos and fish tacos. Your value goes a long way! There’s a help yourself salsa bar too. I can’t wait to try more out again.“

“I had the Cabeza quesadilla and it was 🔥🔥🔥 the best cabeza I've ever had and I've had my fair share of good one's even some great one's... but this one is hands down the best I've ever had 🤤🤤🤤 definitely will be back! Thank you to the cooks and the customer service 🔥🙌🏾💯“

“un sabor authentic Mexicano. tortillas hechas a mano. Todo muy sabroso.“

“Food is good but the reviews need to be updated so badly. We stopped here thinking it'd be cheap only to find out the only menu photos are from 6 years ago and prices are dramatically raised now. Still got stuff just would've been nice to have been aware ahead of time... One star off for that only otherwise a great place imo“

“I was there on Saturday with hubby just trying to find Gallina but I guess they changed the name. This location is in close proximity to the beach. The burrito was delicious, but it's quite expensive. I was surprised when I got there, as their prices were higher than on their website. The cashier was not friendly either. The one who handed my order was pleasant and quite engaged. It was packed; it might be quite a popular spot. They have a salsa bar with unlimited salsa and chips, which is nice. I'd recommend this because of the salsa bar and delicious food, but they need to update their online pricing and improve customer service.. When I say that their burrito is delicious it's really is… I am quite picky and my Mexican hubby is too. Our favorite burrito is at Joya taqueria and it's comparable wit them… it's the regular carne asada with everything on it burrito.“

“Great food and love supporting local Pacifica restaurants!“

“muy buen servicio exelente tacos todo muy rico recomendable“

“Best tacos I've ever had. I've also had the super burrito and the ceviche. Everything here is excellent and tastes so fresh. The fruit juice and horchata are also worth trying. If you're debating where to get lunch or a late night bite, congrats you've found the spot, you need to go here.“

“I placed an order for 10 tacos and holy moly were they good!!! I got 4 tripe, 4 carnitas, 2 chorizo and 2 carne asada and they were all fantastic!!! The tacos were loaded with meat and I have zero complaints. The girl serving the food from this truck was also super friendly.“

“There are not enough words to express how amazing this restaurant and its staff is! The food is amazing and the staff are so kind. My favorite thing from there are the bean and cheese pupusas, and the pork ones! If there was a way to give them ten stars I would!“

“second time here, love the Ramon Biria with a side order of Quesabiria.“

“Wow, they have great food! The portions are large, and the flavors are wonderful. So many choices for proteins, toppings and salsa. My pollo verde meat was flavorful and very tender. I would definitely seek out this restaurant when in the area again. It's that good!! I wish I took photos.“

“These guys are exactly what we we’re looking for! Great margarita’s and really good food!“

“nice food and cold beer.“

“Delicious food great atmosphere“

“Been putting off this small but annoying issue with my oven for way too long. Finally gave them a call for some routine maintenance and they came through quickly. Diagnosed what was wrong in no time and had it fixed without any fuss. Feeling so relieved not to stress over it anymore!“

“The best tasting Mexican food ever! I always order their Cabeza De Res burrito. Very few Mexican food trucks sell cows head. But this taco truck introduced me to this very flavorful dish. Please don’t hesitate to give tips, they always makes me feel so happy with their “piping hot foods” and free crispy warm nachos.“

“Awesome place to grab lunch or dinner! The food is very well made and fresh, and it’s nice that they offer a burger as well! Highly recommend the tacos made with fresh pressed corn tortillas and a variety of meats. The crispy tripe was awesome! And loved the pastor, lengua, and carnitas as well. Go check them out asap!“

“Great food. Fantastic value. Don’t tell people, it’s already too popular 😃“

“Love the burritos here. Now I have a favorite place here at UCSF every other Thursday Great service and food!“

“Found this place when I worked for grub hub. It has become my go to burrito place. Prices fair, people friendly and great at what they do. Have not had a bad meal so they're consistent. Prices - I like them. Affordable on a semi low budget. 👍👍Check em out.“

“Place has amazing food and service!!“

“I’ve been going to Celia’s since I was a kid, never been disappointed I love every location I’ve been to, Daly City is my go to because it’s so close to me, always have tables available, games on, drinks flowing, service impeccable! Food phenomenal! Sopas are my number one meal because it taste exactly like my moms. Enchiladas and crunchy tacos are next and after that anything else on the menu I’ve ever had, I never had any kind of issues with they are always delicious. Drinks like margaritas are always a favorite too! Can’t go wrong with Celia’s special and a Cadillac margaritas are favorites here. I’ve celebrated it all here at this location as well, birthdays, graduations, engagements, you name it many many wonderful memories here 🥰“
