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!

Le restaurant mexicain préféré de mon partenaire & moi! Toute la carte y est délicieuse !
Nos choix de prédilections sont l'aguachile, les nachos, les tacos birria, & la quesadilla rosarito. Accompagné du michelada, & de la sangria rouge. On sort toujours en roulant !
Conseil: s'asseoir au bar ou en avant, si les tables au fond sont occupées le bruit y est plus assourdissant qu'en avant.

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.
