- GGunnarLos Angeles •38 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe enjoyed a birthday lunch at Pacifica Del Mar. As usual, the food was fantastic and the service impeccable. As San Diego residents since 1982, we are going to sorely miss this restaurant after its closure in the next couple of months. It is a legendary San Diego county institution. We wish the ownership and all staff the very best in the years to come. We want to thank you all!More infoPacifica Del Mar$$$$• Seafood• Del Mar•4.7
