I had a Muy deliciosa shrimp cocktail and my friend enjoyed shrimp tostada. The shrimp cocktail was one of the best I've had! Food and Ambiance were great! Had to wait almost 10 minutes though after our food was prepared. Saw it on the counter. But there was only one serving. "Very nice guy." Need more help....
A little pricey but these are the best burritos in town. The portions are huge! It's a must have every time I'm in Pacifica visiting family. The ordering line can get a little cramped. It's a well lit casual family taqueria. Order your food "here or to go" get out the way and wait. The service is adequate enough. I will also say I get the feeling the staff deals with alot of customer crap in this area. If you know - you know.
The food is fantastic Its a local place they took order just as you arrive and before you get seated so you have to place your order then find a table! The order line gets busy easy as the only person taking in person orders are also in charge of taking phone orders. The feel and vibe is very nice and super noisy. Overall its fun place to eat with friends. They do have bar as well. Keep in mind that The food portion is pretty big.
La Playa is a staple for me whenever I visit Pacifica. Today we had the chicken tortilla soup, chicken enchiladas (one red and one green), and 2 margaritas (one skinny and one Cadillac). The food is consistent and the service is always great! Pedro, at the bar, is always there to greet you with a smile and provide any recommendations. I can't wait to come back again soon.
I love their burrito!!! This place looked like well established and known for locals. Location is great near the beach and plenty of parking. The guys that work there are seemed nice enough. There were helpful during my visit and a good place to hang out.
