Review Summary

El Pacifico is widely regarded as a hidden gem in the Hochelaga neighborhood, praised for its authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine, particularly the birria tacos and ceviche. Guests frequently highlight the cozy, intimate decor and the quality of the cocktails, especially the margaritas and palomas. While the service is often described as warm, professional, and efficient, some visitors note that it can occasionally be slow during peak hours. The restaurant offers good value for the price, though some diners suggest being mindful of the final bill to ensure advertised specials are correctly applied. Despite the establishment being occasionally noisy, the overall consensus is that it provides a high-quality dining experience with flavorful, fresh ingredients that keep patrons eager to return.

What a gem this place is! The excellent service is refreshing & the dishes are simply delectable!

I have celiac disease &, in my excitement at the delights on the menu, ordered the tacos al pescado. It arrived, beautifully presented, & I realized it was breaded. Totally my fault for ordering without looking. But the staff immediately offered to replace it with one of their many gluten-free options.

Their ceviche (I chose the mango habanero) is the best in Montreal & rivals even the best restaurants in Lima.

Ceviche is good but really needed some spice, good thing they make an EXCELLENT hot sauce. Quite spicy, soooo addicting. Really took the ceviche to a perfect level of texture & flavour. The ribeye tacos were lightly seasoned but really good! Great with the green & hot sauce!

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.
