Restaurants in Pacifica

“This is our first time here and we'll be back soon.

The food and service are excellent.

They serve gnocchi 3 ways. We opted for the creamy pesto sauce. The gnocchi was cooked to perfection and the sauce was out of this world.

We also had the chicken parmesan. This is a dish I cook at home and it's a big hit with the family, but I have to say that Buona Italia's sauce was so good, I wish I could replicate it.

For dessert we had home-made cannoli and it was probably the best we've had.

Our server, Arturo, was super friendly and helpful. I wanted to pull up a chair and invite him to join us.

Vegetarian options: Salads, gnocchi, and pastas”

“Awesome food, so fresh and hot right to your plate. Friendly staff, very clean and bathroom very clean and smells good. This is how all taco spots should hit! Good music and best chips!”

“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!”

“Second time here and it was just as good as the first! Came in on a Monday night for dinner and they were packed, but no line which was great.

Went with their pork broth and I gotta say it had great flavor and their beef ribeye was tender! You can taste the quality in their meats. The grill and side dishes are always a plus.

The restaurant is on the smaller side but awesome atmosphere, attentive service and good people there! Will be back!”

“Food is always and consistently great! Truffle beef mushroom fried rice is a must. The eggplant dish’s are so flavorful and don’t forget to Korean chicken wings. I just about tried everything on the menu, you won’t be disappointed.”

“Food is good and good size portions”

“Restaurant it's small but at cozy. Decorations it's unique, the plates on the wall accentuate the atmosphere along with the turkey eyes.
I order a chicken shawarma wrap comes with salad and dip. Additionally they bring bread (Turkish) so delicious.”

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

“La atención y la comida muy buena”

“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.”

“Great wines and lite bites”

“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!”

“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!”

“good food Coffey and people”

“Live Music! View of ocean, sunset, birds and hang gliders!”

“Definitely my go to when I am in the area. Good amount of seating and great atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful. The quality of my latte was better than most.”

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

“I wish I had taken pics of everyone loving these burritos! Omg! Sooo amazing! I'm so glad we were able to get breakfast burritos even after lunch! Highly recommend Guerrero's! Wish we had it in Texas!”

“Food is really good and we especially love the grilled beef heart & shrimp rice (the sauce is delicious ?). Everyone in restaurant is friendly and welcoming, and the outdoor seating is dog-friendly. ”

“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!”

“Sweet local vietnamese place. Kind and welcoming staff. Best to order a sandwhich to go and then enjoy it while facing the ocean. BEWARE SEAGULLS!

Vegetarian options: There are two vegetarian options.”

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

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

“Highest quality bagels! Incredible service.”

“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.”

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

“Vegetarian, don’t come here. Meat paradise.

Karaoke machines have multiple languages and nationalities of songs, but download rate was too slow and microphone was out of batteries.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Oh my god! Absolutely love this place!! The food was amazing, the miso soup hit, and the service was just the cherry on top. We had the lovely old woman who served us with amazing humor and sass, it was just lovely interacting with her. The food was so good, we had the vegetable tempura dinner (amazing), the Charlie Brown roll (real crab!!!), the Kani Kosen (bomb), and the spicy tuna roll (I’m not a huge raw fish fan but the flavor was great)!”

“their chocolate cream pie is rich and tasty!”

“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! ?”

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

“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.”

“Fantastic Japanese experience at Sushi Kashiwa! The sushi was incredibly fresh, and each bite was packed with flavor. The ambiance feels authentic and cozy, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. I can't wait to go back for more delicious sushi!?”

“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.”

“I just wish they were open Sundays!!”

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

“While they aren't the fastest, they make pretty darn good sandwiches!

Ok...what does that opening sentence truly mean?

Well, I don't think my wife and I have ever gotten a sandwich from this spot that we didn't enjoy. Their veggies are usually very fresh and they truly make good sandwiches. They just take a long time to do it.

Last night, we decided that we wanted sandwiches for dinner and I drove into Linda Mar to get them (our other sandwich shop is Mr. Pickles and you can read that review here as well).

It appears I got there just before closing as the person who took my order said that they were only taking "to-go" orders. She didn't say it in any fashion that was off-putting...just stating it as fact. That was at about 6:40pm.

Our order was two sandwiches.

The order came out at 7:22pm, but it was perfectly made and my wife said, "It's exactly the taste I was craving."

42 minutes was quite a bit of time to make two sandwiches, but the taste was worth the wait.

The time was similar other times we've ordered from there.

Give them a shot, but plan a little time for them to make the sandwiches.

Vegetarian options: Veggie Sandwich”

“Friendly staff and yummy tea. Thank you”

“Love the food and the vibes at this authentic Thai "mom and pop" old neighborhood fixture! It's not a fancy place, but it's delicious and full of character from the sweet woman and endearingly grumpy man who run it every day. Love to come (and bring friends) whenever we are passing by.

Vegetarian options: Lots of veg options, & it seems you also ask for veg instead of meat (like in a curry dish)”

“Even the small to-go order fills the large bowl with some left in the containers too! Five Spice Chicken Noodle Soup Oasis Vietnamese Cuisine Delicious Phở!”

“Taqueria Pacifica: A Hidden Gem!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Taqueria Pacifica, and so glad we did! The reviews are spot on! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by a clean and inviting atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home.

But the real star of the show was the food. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. The flavors were bold and authentic, and the portions were generous. Whether you're craving tacos, burritos, or enchiladas, Taqueria Pacifica has something to satisfy your cravings.

If you're looking for a casual and delicious Mexican dining experience, I highly recommend giving Taqueria Pacifica a try. You won't be disappointed!”

“Customer service is great!”

“Fantastic experience with the restaurant. Fat delicious burger all the ingredients are homemade very tasty and savory got my taste buds going crazy . I highly recommend this restaurant. It completely satisfied my hunger”

“Amazing family restaurant with exceptional customer service. Everyone is super pleasant and want your dining experience to be heartwarming. Go home with your belly’s full! Totally my go to for family dinners and take out pizza for a beach day!”

“These sisters treat us like family when we come by for our weekend coffee fix! Not only are they incredibly kind, they're also very conscious of the ingredients they use in their foods. I recommend trying anything with their house granola; it's got whole cashews and pumpkin seeds that add a great crunch to their organic acai bowls. Oh! And their baba ganoush is the best in town ?
They're far enough from the beach that you can escape the hustle and bustle of the weekend crowd, but still within walking distance.”

“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.”

“It's the best of the best tasty and delicious coffee drinks!”

“Pulled up, service was AMAZING, staff is cool as hell. Everyone is friendly, helpful, funny, immediately made us feel like locals. Great pours. Daniel was an amazing bartender. If you need a chill spot to kick back and enjoy drinks this is the spot!”

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

“This was my first visit to this storefront Trattoria. While this isn't an attractive venue, it is quite comfortable. All the white tablecloth tabletops make it warm and welcoming. The food is well prepared. There is an ample menu. The caprese salad, Pollo Saltimbocca, and limoncello cake were fantastic. All portions are very generous. Except for the cake. I could have eaten an entire cake, instead of just a slice! Our waiter, Eduardo, was attentive but never intrusive. I'll be back soon.

Parking: 761 Hickey Blvd. - In the Fairmont Shopping Center of Daly City

Kid-friendliness: Children are welcome”

“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.”

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

“Cute spot. Love the Halloween decor they put up. Came here upon recommendations from someone who used to live the area. Have been here twice now. I don't eat Mexican food often, so my opinion may be biased, but this is probably one of my default Mexican places to go to. If I only had one fault, while it might just be due to the price of rent in the area, the price is a little more than I would expect. And after confirming with the person who referred, the location does seem to have raised prices over the years. Unfortunate, but does not deter from stopping by for quick and good burritos and qusadillas whenever in the area”

“If you are a sushi lover I recommend this place.
The sushi from this place is delicious. This place has the best sushi in Pacifica. I recommend the SCREENING ALASKA AND THE CHIRASHI DON. Everything is delicious. But those 2 are my favorite.”

“Bonito lugar con linda vista Asia el mar”

“We love this place and come here every time we’re in Pacifica. There’s friendly atmosphere, outside tables, and good healthy food. We usually get a burrito- which are tasty and big, and this time we added a tamale which I really enjoyed as well. I’ve tried quite a few things here and loved them all. I’m mostly vegetarian and husband loves meat and this place is great for both of us.

Vegetarian options: Is easy to have a great vegetarian meal here. I love the veggie burrito options.”

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

“Ok, I got there and thought the prices were high until I got my beautiful bussin plate o food!! Wow! I could have shared my plate with 2 other ppl. This is a family own business. I could tell. Momma served me, son was finishing up his plate o food next to ne at the bar and when he was finished he went to the back to clean up, and dad made all the food at the grill. Such a warm, cozy, family atmosphere! Everyone was taken care of! ✨️ ? I ate on that French toast all day! So tasty, too!! ?

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.”

“We love it here! Their ranch is the best, it's to die for!!! The workers are so sweet and take good care of us!! 10/5 star experience for sure! Love our besties at wingstop especially Delcy! God sent!🫶”

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

“Super delish! Service is good....”

“Very nicely decorated! Very friendly and down to earth.”

“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!!!”

“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!”

“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!”

“as a latino I really love this place. the food is a little greasy and messy and that's how I like it. The quesabirrias are very good, quessadillas are a little sloppy, the carne asada is nice and charred. free chips, salsa, and pickled jalapeños.
the restaurant is not a fancy place to eat and I think that's great.”
