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.

Le Paloma est excellent, je goûte ce cocktail partout & ici c'est un sans faute.
Les tacos al Pastor sont très bons, mais gagneraient à offrir un petit peu plus de bouts d'ananas.
On a demandé des churros sans cannelle (qui vient par défaut malheureusement) & ils nous les ont fait, ce qui a été très apprécié.
Très bon rapport qualité prix & décor sympa. Bruyant mais on s'entendait parler quand même.

Bouffe succulente. Service aimable. Joli local. Beau choix de cocktails, mais ajouter vins & mousseux à la carte serait certainement apprécié.

Service was good. The ceviche had a lot of fish which is good but it was lacking a bit in flavour. Didn't taste like much. The drinks were good & was at a good price especially with happy hour. (10$ for a cocktail). The tacos were good however they were not worth the price tag. 3 small tacos for 15$. I would expect for this size to be around 9$ to 12$ or to at least have a fourth one. You can get 4 tacos for the close to the same price at taco lakalaka. Overall a good experience but I would not return due to the price.
