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.
Excellent food, even better people. The owner really cares about the food they make. I’ve been coming here for years. Meaty Asada Fries are awesome.

Such delicious food and very generous portions!! Tried giving 4.5 stars but wasn’t able. Between 4&5 definitely closer to a 5! Highly recommend.

Sizable menu with many options, including vegetarian options and some less common items, such as the potato and bean burrito (get it with extra fresh veggies, cheese, and salsas - it is much better than it sounds!) Almost everything is very customizable, but the posted menu in the restaurant does not list all of the options, so check the online menu and know what to ask for. Meal plates (chile relleno, enchilada, etc.) are ample and great for a solid meal after a day at the beach or hiking. Ask for the spicy salsa! They are currently expanding for more indoor seating, but many customers get their items to go. Ample parking in the Manor Plaza lot, and very conveniently located to Hwy 1 (Manor exit) if you are visiting Pacifica.

This location is like a hole in the wall but their food, portions and food is not bad. We ordered to share: Aguadita ( Chicken and cilantro soup). It was delicious. Not salty. Perfect. We each ordered: carnitas burrito, black fish ( tilapia) burrito, lomo burrito reg, lomo burrito with avocado, and carnitas tacos platter. The burritos were huge. I only ate half of my lomo burrito, and my mom ate half of her tilapia burrito. The meat was all tender (steak and carnitas). We definitely will be back and we would not order the soup next time. It was too much food. The guys was super nice, and super accommodating and super friendly.

LOVE this place! I’m vegan and my significant other is not, and there are many options for both of us. The food is great, as well as the service. We love the healthier options they offer. Highly recommend stopping in!

Delicious! I have ordered take out from here multiple times. The Rotisserie Chicken meal is such a great meal for my family. High quality ingredients and big servings. I have tried both the chicken and the cheese tamales they are really good and a big size. I like tamales with lots of masa so it suits my preference. The chicken tamale has big chunks of chicken. The taco salad is also delicious with or without protein and such good ingredients.

This is a fairly new restaurant that serves Mexican and a couple of Peruvian dishes. I tried the aguadito de pollo which has a good flavor, and the lomo saltado which was prepared with precooked meat that is used for the tacos and burritos. I was told that eventually they may use fresh meat to prepared the lomo. I had asked if they would be flambeing the meat, and the answer was affirmative. Not! They are eager to please, but need to get a bit more authentic. The picture of their sancocho/sopa de res looked promising. I may try it next time. Other than that, I would probably stick to tacos.
I really like this little spot, a rare find of any full meal that can be made vegan/vegetarian in the area. Highly recommend the charred tofu, maybe skip the grilled veggies. I have never had an issue but from reading other reviews I would suggest reiterating if you do not want any meat/dairy/etc (not everyone is so clear about what vegan means). Keep in mind it’s not their primary focus on the menu!
We have been coming here for several years off and on -- it was a nice place to get away to on the weekend for some decent food. However, today we ordered the tamales, and were so disappointed -- soggy, small, and the cheese inside tasted off. This place unfortunately has gone downhill in terms of freshness and food quality. It was also over $60 for just two people -- ridiculous for what you get now.

Great food and the great staff! The lomo saltado, the roasted chicken and the salmon burrito are our favorites. They three different sauces for the tortilla chips are awesome!
This place is one of my favorites. I’ve only been going here for 6 months, but they’ve been around. And I’m sad I didn’t discover them sooner. Their food is delicious, and their portions are amazing for the price. On top of that, their staff is very friendly, and I love that. They deserve all the tips! I can’t wait to go back.
Enchiladas were good but nachos were the star of the show! The chips were incredible highly recommend
This is a great spot, with original flavors. We live around the corner and could always count on Green Enchilada for a delicious/filling meal (especially for vegan & vegetarian)! Friendly and fast service as well.
This place is great, I live nearby and eat here often. The burritos are creative and delicious, with great vegan and vegetarian options. A little pricy but the quality is worth it. The Peruvian fusion burrito is my favorite - tofu, soy sauce, french fries, and veggies make for a great combo.
