Deuxième fois à el Pacifico. Les tacos birria , c'est juste les meilleurs que j'ai mangé.
La terrasse était pleine, on a décidé d'aller au bar, & on a passé une super soirée grâce à Étoile, super barmaid, ultra sympathique qui a su rendre notre 2e visite meilleure que la première!
Top place pour la nourriture mexicaine!

Definitely some of the smallest tacos I've ever had. I ordered the pastor tacos, & each one had only a tiny piece of pineapple while being much saltier than expected. I also ordered a margarita, but it was filled with so much ice that there was very little actual cocktail. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially considering the price.
