A lovely authentic Mexican restaurant on the beach. Delicious food especially fajitas that you can order with veggies, chicken and prawns. A little bland but could source it up with delicious salsa. The spicy one is really hot, so much it up with regular salsa to normalize the heat. The portions are quite big and may be good enough for two to share. Side of chips and salsa is offered for no cost. The drinks are mostly variety of margaritas and mojitos. Mango chilli margarita is the best which was served with a 50ml of Don Julio dripping in the glass. Very strong drink that is perfect for hot dinner days. The service is impeccable. Pedro is a cashier and a server who has worked here for 33 years. That reflects that this is a home business which cares about it's workers. I appreciate such restaurants and will always recommend visiting them. La playa is a must visit in Pacifica. The devil's is traditional Mexican which reflects authentic Mexican culture and vibe of a decent restaurant great for families and...

The worst Mexican food. I came here Sept 22 with a friend and our 2 babies. We first got are sodas that tasted like bleach and a water for are 1 year olds and the water was brown!! Yes BROWN we did not end up giving it to them. We ordered nachos with the driest beans and smothers in a thick layer of fake cheese. As well as 1 regular chicken taco 1 grilled chicken taco and 2 asada tacos and a side of rice. The regular chicken taco was so bland it had no seasoning what's so ever. And the grilled chicken was like bland jerky. The asada tacos where ok but I only ended up eating one because I lost my appetite when I took a large bite of Spanish rice to have it taste like spaghetti. 🤮 yuck!!! at this point we ended up just packing up and leaving and going to Safeway across the street to fend for ourselves. Do not be fooled this place is not worth the price we paid and the food...

I don’t know where everyone is getting that the food is good my whole family came here as we are regular visitors to Pacifica we love the beach and the small town it was our first time trying this place I got beef nachos and the chips were covered in grease and the cheese tasted weird it was hard to swallow because of the off taste the meat was good but everything else just made me gag my sister got the mole and it tasted like they dumped salt into it my mom got a dinner plate with enchilada and taquito and it was just super mush not tasty at all not to mention on their menu they have “gringoland” like wth is that? I’m kinda offended will never go to this place again ever really disappointed for my first time...

Beachside Mexican restaurant with a stand alone bar and ample indoor and outdoor seating. Just a 2 minute walk from the beach. Quite possibly the best burritos in the entire Bay Area. We specifically come here for them. If you get them, you must order the skirt steak! They are fire grilled and charred to perfection. You won’t regret. They also have a bar in the back which serves beer and cocktails. The margaritas here are great and don’t taste fake at all. The servers here know what they’re doing for sure. The huge plus here is that you can simply walk around the restaurant and the beach is right there. It’s a wonderful location and this restaurant is HIGHLY recommended.

“Best tostada ever” -my girlfriend I’ve been here several times and consistently get great service and delicious food, prepared as requested. Prices are very reasonable, portions are generous, and overall experience is good. My only criticism is the noise level indoors. When the restaurant is full it’s louder than I like, but I don’t hear others fussing about it so it might just be me.
