The Green Enchilada

Fantastic chicken mole burrito!!! Huge, couldn’t finish it all! A must go if you are in the area!

the old man and i decided to try it out. we actually enjoyed it. its definitely more of a «healthier» spin on Mexican food. i loved the fact that there were Mole burritos etc. yummy. we will come here again.

Went here for the first time on my way home from the long Memorial Day weekend. I was hungry and saw this little place so I decided to give it a try. I got a regular shrimp burrito, $ 12. A little pricy but let me tell you it was delicious and organic. A little disappointed that it didn’t come with chips and salsa like other places. Staff is super friendly which is always a plus. I will definitely be back.

I definitely went to the wrong place. I was looking for the taqueria, and came upon this joint. It appeared to serve Mexican Food, which was all I really wanted. When I walked in, there wasn’t a Mexican to be seen. First red flag. I couldn’t believe the price of the tacos! Due to the price, I figured they would be delicious at a minimum. No such luck. When I got them, I thought I had been given a toddler serving. And the quality was just mehh. Not impressed. My dad said his burrito was decent. He is Mexican, and lives in Pacifica. I’m half Mexican, and just want good authentic Mexican food. This is not the place for that. Next time I’ll go to the actual taqueria a quarter mile away… By the way, the price is absurd here. Where’s the taco truck?!!

The green enchiladas at the Green Enchilada are the single best thing I’ve eaten in my life. Maybe I was especially hungry tonight, but we got the family meal again, brought it home, and I just had a huge plate of chicken enchiladas with tomatillo sauce, rice, beans, and vegetables. The green sauce is sweet and savory and crazy delicious. I could put it on a plate full of wooden twigs and asphalt shingles and you would eat them and thank me.

Vegetarians: this place is for you! The grilled vegetable is just amazing! Great food, reasonably priced, and the perfect go to place after a hike in Pacifica. There’s not too much room in the café if you have more than two people in your party, but take out in also an option. Absolutely going to come back many times!

Came here the other day and got the taco salad as usual. It was great and I have to give them credit for having the best Mexican food in Pacifica imo. They still struggle a bit with customer service and getting the food out kinda slow, but that bowl was perfect and the shell is delicious! I didn’t used to get it with black beans, but they really taste so much better than pinto or retried. The food has a good amount of flavor and isn’t too salty, so although it’s not authentic, aka greasy, I’m a fan and was perhaps a bit harsh in my first review.

great little Mexican spot in Pacifica right along the coast that uses all organic ingredients. food was super good. best for to-​go orders.

This is a nice small shop in the Manor shopping center. There was plenty of parking, it wasn’t packed and the lady helped us was very nice. I would highly recommend this place if you’re in the area, plus its healthy.

First time after many friends suggested eating here. Ordered Carnitas super burrito and Carne Asada nachos.
Unfortunately, we were VERY disappointed. The food was VERY bland – no spice at all. You would get more flavor from Taco Bell (yuck) than this place. I was expecting something close to what you would expect at a authentic Mexican restaurant.

I go here often for tacos, burritos, and nachos. It costs a bit more, but it is worth it because it is organic and well-​prepared. The restaurant is always clean. Friendly staff.
I had the Pacifica Salad once and it was weird. Stick to the traditional and you can’t go wrong here. Make sure to get the chips and salsa! Top notch.

The Green Enchilada is our guilty pleasure every time we go to Pacifica — Hey, as the sign says it, «Don’t panic, it’s organic»! And delicious. And not expensive. So what are you waiting for? Go get either their Mexican food or one of their delicious roast chicken ;-)
You have to go to the back of the store to order your food — this is also where the healthy fresh fruit juice are stored — and you can see the cooks working on other patrons’ meals. You can either eat inside, outside, or order to go.
We usually order quesadilla (cheese, prawns or with roasted veggies, depending of the mood) and/​or a grilled chicken to go, with the fresh fruits juice of the day. Count between 10 and 20 minutes for the food to be ready, depending of the length of the line ;-)
Server and cooks change every time we go there, but food is always fresh and taste amazing — must be the Green Enchilada’s signature ;-)

I just ate here with my boyfriend.
Time and day: 6:00pm on a Thursday
Wait time for food: ~15 minutes
Ambiance: Casual
I ordered the Fifty/​Fifty Enchilada plate with the mole enchilada and Verde enchilada, side of brown rice and black beans. I’m a sucker for Verde sauces and mole, these were delicious! The Verde sauce wasn’t sickeningly salty like some places. The spiciness levels awarded flavor and heat tolerable to someone sensitive to spice as myself. The mole was sweeter than what I’m used to, but still quite a unique and yummy taste. It was great!
My boyfriend had a massive carnitas super burrito, which he gobbled up almost faster than I could eat my enchilada plate.
Definitely will return!

I was visiting some friends in Pacifico and I had a craving of Mexican food. My friend and I are vegetarians and we usually don’t eat everywhere. At first I was really hesitant about this place because it looks like a whole in the wall but let me tell you it was amazing!!! I ordered a burrito and carne Asada fries (minus the meat). I’ve never experience such great food.
Must go if u live in San Francisco or visiting !!!

At some pint this was the place to go, I loved it.
Now it’s there, its hella expensive and it’s tasteless.
I can respect the organic aspect, the mom and pop’s aspect and that’s were it ends. It’s too expensive, you don’t get chips or salsa when you order your $ 50 meal for 2 – 3, it’s gone downhill, and the blandness, well… It’s not worth the money.

Great food, great service! Hard to find solid organic places to eat that also tastes good. This is one.

My big complaint about the green enchilada is that they not only didn’t listen to me that I could not eat a burrito with sour cream or cheese as well as I did not want a super burrito. They still created a burrito I had to throw away because it was filled with sour cream!
Before I paid I said wow over $ 14.00 for a burrito, I did not want a super burrito, in which she replied I did not get a super burrito and the extra $$$ is for adding veggies. So I sucked it up and paid. The only thing they got right was no rice, which only meant their was less burrito to throw away! When someone says they can’t eat dairy, including sour cream and cheese they really can’t eat dairy!!! Usually I would forgive for a mistake but since I double checked before I left I won’t, and I will never go back. Besides I am an idiot for paying almost for 15 dollars for a burrito in the first place. So no stars for this restaurant from me and no stars for me for paying such a ridiculous price for something i did not order! Should have opened up the burrito before I drove home.

My favorite restaurant in Pacifica! We are notorious for showing up a half hour before closing and they are so nice and the food is excellent. When I’m in the mood for Mexican food and am way too lazy to head into SF, this is the place. The rotisserie chicken is yum.

I’ve been here a couple of times and loving the food. I’ve tried something different each time. Really really love their ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ enchiladas. The nachos were good but not my favorite. I just moved to Pacifica and glad I found this place. The people are super nice too.

Was headed to Safeway to get coffee at the Starbucks inside but decided to grab lunch instead.
Glad I did. Ordered my food, after ordering the cashier offered me chips & salsa. When I was about to sit down she offered me a horchata free of charge. Thought was was really nice of her.
When the cook brought my quesadilla out he insisted I try the house hot sauce witch was really good.
Only reason I give 4 stars is because it’s my first time here. If it’s good food the second time around I’d good 5 stars
