My girlfriend and I have been here a couple times (once for breakfast and once for lunch). I remember ordering their torta and it was HUGE. Came in today after playing Yugioh at Anime Imports, and decided to get the California burrito. I thought it was a little suspicious that it was $22, but whatever. I got it pretty quickly, and the thing is the size of my forearm. Massive burrito! I just had a maybe 1/4 of it, and I'm stuffed. Normally, I'm skeptical about big foods, but the burrito was pretty good! Now I have lunch for the weekend lol read more

La Mordida Taqueria - I wish I took a pic before I sliced it. Good burrito! - Mexican Near Me - Pacifica, California

This was my first time at La Mordida after passing by a lot. On a rainy Monday night, right after walking in I smelled a musty smell. I think it was from the black rugs they had inside that got wet from all the rain and people coming in and out. Really bad smell that had me running out after getting my take out order. As far as the menu, they have something for everyone. The jumbo spinach wrapped al pastor burrito was pretty oily after unwrapping foil. For the title of jumbo, there wasn't a lot of protein in it. For the super nachos, the guac wasn't fresh. For the amount of toppings in it, there wasn't enough chips. Free chips and salsa. But like others said the salsas have no flavor or spice. At least the service was nice. Order at the counter and wait for your food. Parking lot read more

I mean they have fresh free chips! Those chips are bomb! Salsa not so much Spice was not on point I web Tuesday taco specials Only pork or chicken For the tacos I got both Go with chicken if you're doing the specials I felt the pork was too salty But I did get a steak taco and it was ok The chips and chicken taco was the star of the show read more

Visited this spot a number of times, placing larger orders and they have been a decent experience each time but today's visit was a disappointment. A simple order of a single chicken quesadilla for my daughter should not have taken 20 min. especially when they were calling people who ordered after me to pick up their larger orders 10 min. into waiting. I asked where is my order after 15 min. and I was told it's still being made. 5 min. later another employee is trying to hand me an order that wasn't even mine and when I showed my receipt, he says, no this isn't yours. After 20 min. I was finally handed my little order without any sort of acknowledgement that it took longer than usual. I suspect my order was added to someone else's by mistake and only made mine when I had asked the status of mine. read more

The burrito was a bit too soupy for me, and I thought the carne asada could've had more flavor. This is a pretty average taqueria and you could probably find a lot of these around. Would I go back? Sure. But definitely not in my top 10. read more

Finally came back to try something different. I ordered the regular burrito with fish and honey order carnitas plate. Our burrito was huge and honey carnitas plate (lots of meat) Carnitas was not dry. Would definitely order it again. read more

I passed by this restaurant many times and wanted to go there. Finally I got a chance to eat. The chicken fajita was very tasty, with a little bit of smokiness and you can really taste the char-boiled. The sauces were too spicy for me but I'm sure a lot of people would like it like that. read more

I was visiting my brother's family in Pacifica and this is one of their favorite spots and now one of my favorites! To start, their service is friendly and the have a solid spread for their salsa bar. They have a nice outdoor patio area but it was sadly fly season so we didn't chance it outside. I will say I've been here once before and ordered something else (honestly don't recall what specifically) but now that I've had their tacos I must sing their praises! I'm a sucker for cabeza (head) and lengua (tongue) tacos and these ones hit the spot! The meat is incredibly tender and truly a must order if you stop by! Their taco sizes are pretty reasonable (not street taco sizes) so 3 tacos was plenty for me. The tacos came with roasted green onion and jalapeno which were perfection and warmed my AZ native soul. Chef kisses all around! I loved this spot and will definitely be back! read more

La Mordida Taqueria - Cabeza and lengua tacos - Mexican Near Me - Pacifica, California

I've tried the burritos, tacos & most recently the camarones a la diabla & for the price and quality I wouldn't recommend this as my go to spot. If speaking local to Pacifica, I'd prefer La Perla or Taqueria Pacifica. The shrimp and chicken burritos are good but a bit plain & the tacos were decent. I was very disappointed with the camarones a la diabla. Two plates plus tax came out to be $50 and there was absolutely no spice to the sauce. It felt like I was eating sweet and sour sauce. I buy camarones a la diabla specifically for the delicious spicy sauce so I was let down. Service has always been kind and quick & and the environment is always welcoming. If this is the only Taqueria that you can go to, I'd recommend getting the tacos or one of their speciality plates. read more

Was in Pacifica for work and needed a quick bite to eat. Had the Chorizo b.fast burrito at a very respectable $12. The Chorizo was not oily and had an added touch of crunchy French fries inside. Complementary warm chips with 3 different types of salsas. Plenty of parking. Would come back again if I'm in the area. read more

Great place especially for late night eats. Restaurant kept pretty clean. Service is fast and staff are friendly. Their California burrito is huge. I typically will share that with someone it's so big. Love their crazy fries also. One of my go to spots. read more

I was craving tacos and was close by so decided to stop by and order a few for my little girl and I. We ordered 3 tacos - chicken, fish and carne asada as well as a chicken quesadilla, horchata and picked up some nachos and salsa. Service was incredibly friendly and quick! I love that you can pick up your own chips and that they have their own salsa bar. My little girl said the tacos were soooo good and I agree. I'll definitely be back. read more

Grab lunch here with friends. Excellent spot for tacos in Pacifica. Authentic tacos and fresh chips and salsa. Always hard to find a taco spot with orange salsa (sorry not sure what else to call it) but that salsa is excellent. Very generous with the meat toppings. The chips are fresh tasting. Service here is great and friendly. Parking is easy with the huge lot. The carne asada is tender and flavorful. Now I know where to get tacos in the Pacifica area. read more

Always fresh. Always flavorful. Super consistent and worth the wait. I had the Marina Fajitas plate this last time and the shrimp was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I saved the tortillas for a later meal and filled myself up with the plate of Spanish rice and refried beans. I don't think I've been there post pandemic, but the old Taco Bell overhead menus have been updated and modernized. read more

La Mordida Taqueria - Chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Pacifica, California

Friendly staff, clean salsa bar and a good selection of flavors, each done well. I went in to order one item, a super taco. I felt $7 was a little steep for a taco but whatever. I asked for no guacamole and no lettuce, keep the sour cream , cheese and pico. Between the two of us (cashier and I) we repeated it 3 times- no guacamole and no lettuce. I get it to go. When I get home, open the plate- there's guacamole, pico and cheese. I had to throw it away b/c I'm allergic. Extremely disappointed. I will not be going back. read more

The tacos are the only good thing at this taqueria. The rest of the food is disgusting. There's an overwhelming smell of cleaning solution, Fabuloso perhaps? Anywho the orde is so strong that when I was eating my enchiladas I sensed a chemical taste. With that being said I will only do tacos from here if there's no other choice but other than that I'd skip this place. read more

I came to dinner at this place. The cashier couldn't remember what drink I ordered, so I had to repeat it several times. It wasn't the first time that had happened. The food took too long to come out, but it was okay. After eating, my friend stood up and walked to the cashier and ordered churros. We waited for the churros for 30 minutes, and we thought it was weird that they were taking too long to make some churros. My friend went to the cashier to ask about the churros, and she literally said they were out of churros. She charged for the churros, and she didn't know they were out of churros. She gave the money back, but we waited too long for something that wasn't available. read more

Got a super shrimp burrito and the shrimp weren't seasoned or sautéed, only boiled with no flavor. All the shrimp seemed to be packed in a lump on one side of the burrito and even tho I got a super burrito it had no guac in it. The burrito made me feel sick because it had a fishy shrimp flavor from lack of seasoning or prep just thrown in the burrito. read more

Consistently impressed! This restaurant has never failed us when it comes to both packaging and food quality. Every order arrives neat, secure, and still perfectly fresh. You can tell they put real thought into presentation and making sure the food travels well. The flavor and quality are always on point, reliable, delicious, and truly worth it. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates consistency and care in every meal! La Mordida!!!! read more

I door dashed an asada chile rellano burrito and there was zero steak in it. This is not the first time they've stiffed me.

Very good food will recommend to all of my friends 10/10 food will go again the tacos are the best

Long overdue review for La Mordida - on top of my long list of favorite Bay Area taquerias! Amazing salsa bar with many fresh selections and very friendly service. I've gone here multiple times and the food has always been top notch to the point where it's become a craving. You can't really go wrong with what you order here. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating and great drink selections. read more

La Mordida Taqueria - Pickles for the taking - Mexican Near Me - Pacifica, California

My mom ordered a super al pastor burrito that didn't have fully formed meat. Just crumbs. It was mostly rice and refried beans. The cashier was unfriendly and dismissive. $17.99! What a rip off. I'm thinking they ran out of meat and shouldn't have taken the order to begin with. I don't mind spending money for a quality burrito, but this was basura! My mom was pissed! She won't be back! read more

Service was good even late. The salsa bar was shut down for the night. One of us had an asada torta which was underwhelming one had th two Item plate with one asada taco And one chili Ellen. Beans and rice were cold and not edible. Asada again not the greatest. Chili relleno had no sauce and I was unable to eat it as I couldn't cut through the tough pepper. I ended up Just eating chips. The server was trying to ready for closing by moping while we were eating and the chemicals were very strong read more

My favorite taqueria. I especially like michelada cocktails, they are tasty and presented awesomely. Margaritas are good, too. As for food, I think I tried everything, and Super Quesadilla is still my favorite. Oh forgot about whole fried fish, so tasty. Great place. read more

Food is great but serving is getting smaller and smaller everytime I order here. I always order the two taco plate but the meat and rice is just less and less everytime. It is not worth the money to just pay for the beans. Please, food flavor and service/staff are really food. But the amount of food for the price we pay you is no longer right. read more

Food was good not great however it was way too spicy for my taste even the soups and the service was a little slow

I am mad. I just spent $28.00 on a Jumbo Carnitas burrito, and a horchata. That $28.00 included a tip. The burrito was jumbo alright. It had 3 very small pieces of carnitas. Where was the meat???? The rest was filler.. rice, beans, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole. It was almost a veggie burrito. Not pleased at all. Actually feeling ripped off.. read more

Charges 75 cents for cheese on a taco and gives you less than 1/2 a gram of cheese! The pastor was decent, but the lengua was trash. Not flavor and not tender. Pretty chewy and wet. read more

It actually deserves 0 stars. they messed up on my order twice (no cheese, no crema, 2 enchiladas and it came out with cheese, crema, only 1 enchilada, and it had only cheese). After the initial mistake, we asked it to be corrected and it took 20-30 min and they still had cheese. They use poor AI-generated art, which gave me the creeps as the eyes were messed up and looked soulless. I'm also disappointed that a small business would exploit other small creators' IP and use AI generated anything. Like to have nice wall art, you don't have to go the AI-generated route; you can just get some cheap framed prints from Marshall's or thrift or even commission someone if you have money. But to use AI-generated art that exploits small creators as a small business is unnecessarily expensive and it's distasteful, both in appearance and vibe Besides all that, the food was not great compared to other Mexican places in the area. Enchiladas were soggy with minimal sauce, rice was flavorless. Their bin of chips and mortar of salsa was also just out in the open by the open door, not covered or sealed or kept food-safe by anything Unsurprisingly, I got food poisoning soon after eating here and it's so bad that I have to call in sick and I'm not functional. read more

The super suiza quesadilla is small for a "large" sized tortilla... the disappointment was REAL. Specially for the price .

The food was horrible. I ordered a huarache with no salsa and it came out with salsa. When I asked to remove it they held my food hostage for about 20 minutes and came back with nothing but onion on top. The cook also didn't add the sour cream that came with the huarache and said that since I didn't want salsa, he thought I didn't want sour cream, but had the sour cream ready on the side because he knew we were going to ask for it. When this was addressed the cook laughed out loud and asked to speak to the manager they did not want to give that information to me. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more
