Organic meats, beans, cheeses and tortillas, oh my! All this and more can be found at Pacifica’s own Green Enchilada in the Pacific Manor Shopping Center.

Pacific Manor Shopping Center is a quick trip from Skyline and conveniently, you can enjoy its close proximity to some nice beaches. It’s great for when you have time for lunch,

just want to catch your breath for a few minutes, and hit the beach with a good meal.

The Green Enchilada serves traditional and not-so-traditional Mexican food with organic ingredients. So far, I haven’t tried anything from the place that I haven’t liked. The price is slightly higher than other taquerias in Pacifica, but with the freshness, tastiness and safer food, you can’t go wrong.

The staff has been very friendly every time I’ve gone and I’ve never left hungry. The restaurant itself is kind of small, but the seats outside are nice on a temperate day. I, personally, like to take my meal down to the beach and listen to the waves to relax my body and spirit while I chow down. The Enchilada platter is a great deal and can generally feed a small family with its six enchiladas, pint of rice, pint of beans, accoutrements for the enchiladas and decent amount of mixed vegetables. Their chips and salsa are really good as well and are one of my favorite things about eating there.

The Green Enchilada has quickly become my favorite Mexican eatery in Pacifica and will likely remain as such for a long time. If you go yourself, I’d definitely recommend the nachos as they are the best I’ve ever had, hands down. If you decide to go with a burrito, I’d suggest the pork al Pastor because it has a great flavor that’s hard to beat.
