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.

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!

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!
