Reviews for El Pacifico describe a warm, cozy Mexican spot where the menu shines on birria, ceviche and a variety of tacos, with birria and fish tacos often highlighted as standouts. The ceviche, including a mango habanero version, is praised for freshness and balance, while the shrimp tacos are flavorful though one note mentions shrimp can be overcooked when crowds are large. Calamari is beloved and pork and ribeye tacos are reliably tasty with generous meat and good seasoning. Service is described as friendly and attentive, though it can be slow during busy periods; the terrace adds to a welcoming atmosphere and the decor is frequently described as charming. Value is repeatedly mentioned, especially during happy hour, with margaritas and other drinks earning praise for being strong and well balanced. Overall, El Pacifico comes across as a top local choice for authentic Mexican dining in the area, a hidden gem for many and a reliable spot to enjoy flavorful, well-prepared dishes and a convivial vibe.

We took the regular ceviche & the mango & habanero one, both were excellent, the calamares are really good as well, as a main I took the birria tacos, they were packed with meat & served with a little bowl to dip in, best Pina Colada I had in a while. Shout out to the little spicy sauce they serve, it's hot, but oh so good!

Nous ne connaissions pas l'endroit & l'étroite devanture du El Pacifico ne nous avait pas préparé à y trouver un si beau restaurant. Nous avons adoré l'ambiance feutrée & cosy. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de belles photos de l'endroit & du bar; je vous assure que c'est magnifique! La cuisine est excellente, les tacos birria sont vraiment un gros coup de coeur. Le Ceviche aussi. Ce n'est vraiment pas cher en plus.

Got the mango habanero ceviche & birria tacos. Both tasted fresh & there was a lot of fish in the ceviche but wasn't spicy at all. Drinks were good, service is great. Would come back!

J'ai vraiment aimé le aguachile & la birria est la meilleure que j'ai goûté à Montréal. La quesadilla rosarito est délicieuse. Les mojitos, paloma & les mezcalita sont très bons aussi!
