Reviews for El Pacifico describe a warm, cozy Mexican spot where the menu shines on birria, ceviche and a variety of tacos, with birria and fish tacos often highlighted as standouts. The ceviche, including a mango habanero version, is praised for freshness and balance, while the shrimp tacos are flavorful though one note mentions shrimp can be overcooked when crowds are large. Calamari is beloved and pork and ribeye tacos are reliably tasty with generous meat and good seasoning. Service is described as friendly and attentive, though it can be slow during busy periods; the terrace adds to a welcoming atmosphere and the decor is frequently described as charming. Value is repeatedly mentioned, especially during happy hour, with margaritas and other drinks earning praise for being strong and well balanced. Overall, El Pacifico comes across as a top local choice for authentic Mexican dining in the area, a hidden gem for many and a reliable spot to enjoy flavorful, well-prepared dishes and a convivial vibe.

a perfect weeknight dinner spot; cozier, more intimate & upscale than other places in the neighborhood, but the prices are very reasonable - especially on tuesdays! great food!

I am not sure whether this is simply a recurring honest mistake or a shady practice on purpose, but they advertise a lot of different specials to entire people to come in, yet then when you check your bill at the end, you've been charged full price for the items (sometimes double the advertised special price). The food is good, so it's worth coming, but make sure you check your bill carefully, or ask in advance if they'l be honouring their advertised prices for a given item.

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.

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.
