The food is amazing but Jason was a terrible waiter. I am Colombian and finding Colombian empanadas in sf isn’t easy. So I was super psyched to visit Pacifico and finally get some. The fotos of the empanadas looked correct and I saw “empanadas” on the dinner menu so I didn’t think twice and ordered them. I was shocked when regular flour baked empanadas arrived at the table. When I pointed this out to the server he told me the ones I saw in the foto were from the brunch menu but that both were “Colombian”. This is a crazy statement because if you look at both menus they clearly distinguish between “Colombian empanadas” (corn masa, fried) and the regular “empanadas” (flour masa, baked) at dinner. However again when I pointed this out he doubled down!! The audacity of correcting me on my own culture, especially when it’s very clear on the menu. I could have dealt w the disappointment if he hadn’t gaslit me. This difference isn’t just a preference it’s cultural accuracy. As someone from this culture it was disappointing to have a server confidently contradict my knowledge of my own country’s food, especially when their own menus correctly make this distinction! The pop up food is incredible but Jason works for the parent restaurant (b side) and seems totally disinterested in the actual food or cultures being served by the popup. Service: 1
