Review Summary

El Pacifico delivers a flavorful mix of Mexican inspired dishes, with ceviche often praised for texture and taste, and a spicy house hot sauce that adds heat and is highly appreciated; the menu also features ribeye and birria tacos along with fish and shrimp options and calamari, with sauces that elevate the dishes. Portions vary, some meat servings are generous while a few plates are more modest, and a few seafood items can arrive a touch overcooked, but overall quality remains high and flavors stay authentic. The service is friendly and attentive, though it can be slow during busy periods, and the atmosphere is described as cozy and inviting with a pleasant terrace option. Drinks and cocktails including margaritas are well received and the overall value is considered good, making El Pacifico a reliable go-to for flavorful Mexican style dining.

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.

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!

Omg je suis en amour, avec ma blonde mais aussi avec El pacifico. Troisième visite & toujours aussi satisfait! Le service est excellent (sourire & rapidité), les drinks me donnent le goût de danser & la nourriture est sublime! Essayez le ceviche habanero ( cuidado caliente!), le sebaste québécois rend honneur aux saveurs mexicaines! 10/10

This place is incredible. Accept no substitutions, no competitors. The Mango Habanero Ceviche, the Aguachile, the Biria tacos & the Al Pastor were all heavenly. Price is perfect for the amount of work that clearly goes into this food. Guys, don't change anything.

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!
