Crashing waves, surfers jogging by in half-zipped wetsuits, a frozen drink in hand—no, you’re not draining your PTO at an all-inclusive resort, it’s the Taco Bell Cantina in Pacifica. If you live in the Bay, you know the lore behind this place. What started as an A&W on Highway 1 in the 60s is now unironically dubbed the world’s most beautiful Taco Bell. And it’s true. The back patio faces the Pacific, and there’s just a railing stopping you and your Baja Blast Freeze from tumbling onto the sand. During sunset and the lunch rush, hordes of all ages pack in daily, jostling for photos with their commemorative plastic cups. But this is still a Taco Bell. The food is exactly what you’d expect from the fast food chain, though you’d be lucky to eat this close to the water at any restaurant. Coming to the Cantina is a requirement for anyone who likes long walks on the beach and/or sacrificing their stomach lining to a few packets of Diablo Sauce. Here, you can stare out at the Pacific and get existential while inhaling a chalupa, or on the rare occasion, get married.
