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!

Love this place. The food is delicious (my fav is eggplant #45). The waitress lady is very kind and welcoming. We love the grumpy man as well. We come here every time we are in Pacifica.

Finally tried Pacifica Thai! It was yummy! The mango sticky rice was my fave. We also got pad Thai, coconut ginger fried rice and asparagus with chicken, shrimp, and crab. Everything was delish and huge portions. The lady who took out to go order was very friendly and efficient. Def recommend and we’ll be back!
The staff was very knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations! The curry was absolutely phenomenal - not too spicy! The mango sticky rice was fabulous. We'll definitely be back!
Great Thai food with vegetarian options. The person serving us was so kind with a smile 🥹
The food was so delish! Will definitely be going back
