If you’re craving real Mexican comfort food by the coast, Pacifica Taqueria delivers every time. My grilled chicken plate (about $20) came with perfectly cooked chicken, fluffy Spanish rice, and creamy refried beans — classic, flavorful, and balanced. Bonus: the leftovers the next day were somehow even better.
While you wait, hit the free build-your-own chips, cheese, and various salsas bar — a rare and welcome touch that sets the tone for what’s coming. The menu is huge, covering everything from breakfast favorites with traditional Spanish flair to tacos, burritos, and full family platters.
The interior seats around 40, simple and clean with that old-school white kitchen-floor vibe. Two outdoor patio tables add another dozen spots for sunny afternoons. Service is friendly, authentic, and genuine — the kind of place where you feel like a regular after your first visit.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a local, low-key, authentic Mexican meal done right.

It’s another wannabe Mexican food place. Calling this place a taqueria is a travesty — overpriced, putrid, strangely prepared food. The service lacks friendliness and there’s an oily film everywhere. lol

Hella smack. All their salas are fire. Burritos and tacos were very good. Meats were seasoned well.

Just tried this place. No judgment, but here's my experience: I ordered a chili relleno burrito and a Superburrito with chicken with whole beans. Order was fast, people were nice, taqueria was clean and quaint. Brought the order home and this was what was in the bag: A carne asada quesadilla and a carnitas burrito. With refried beans. I don't eat pork so I tossed it. Didn'tt go back to complain because I have stuff to do. I ate part of the quesadilla. It was pretty good. Very salty.

Been coming to this taqueria since I was 15. I've had 1 bad experience which was a regular shrimp burrito. Just not for me. Other than that it's a great place.

What makes this little taco spot so special is the small patio that’s outside. That makes it great. The food is standardly. Awesome and full-blown Mexican cuisine.—-another place with atmosphere and cool folks walking around
