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.
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.
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!
A very quaint taco eatery which was a short walk from where we were staying.
The service was impeccable, even finding us a table despite no reservation & it was busy!
The tacos were specstular! We had fish tacos, shrimp tacos, pulled beef tacos, pork tacos.
The fish tacos were heavenly! Very good.
The shrimp tacos, the shrimp was a tad overcooked, but still good.
The pulled beef tacos were also very tasty.
The pork tacos, the meat was a bit dry.
Overall, really good food. It took quite some time for our meals to arrive, not sure if that was due to the volume of customers in the restaurant at the time.
The shrimp tacos were so flavourful, the fish tacos were delicious, & the calamari was so soft & buttery... Someone in that kitchen really knows what they are doing. Service is friendly but can be slow, but listen if you're going to cook shrimp like that... you take your time working whatever magic y'all are doing back there!!
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.
Nous avons pris les tacos au porc & au rib eye & c'était délicieux ! Beaucoup de viande, bien assaisonné & le prix est raisonnable. Pour mon goût personnel j'aurais pris un peu plus de légumes dans les tacos peut-être une tortilla un peu plus grande parce que ça déborde de partout ! Je met 4 pour l'ambiance parce que c'était bruyant, donc difficile de discuter. Les coktails ont l'air bons & abordables. À essayer.
Très bons tacos, viande goûtue, sauce délicieuse, rien d'écoeurant contrairement à d'autres places côté Beaubien / St Hubert, service agréable. Une belle place pour manger mexicain !

I went there a year ago, I was just coming back from Mexico & I felt the tacos were so close to want I had tasted there, it was delicious.
I really love what they have done with this restaurant, the decoration is nice.
Wow!❤??🔥✨ mais quelle belle expérience ici ce soir avec l'homme de ma vie!
C'était tellement authentique que mon chum n'arrêtait pas de parler anglais avec le serveur.☺?
Le mijoto incroyable & happy hour prix spécial. La guacamole extraordinaire , les chips fraîches miam!🥑🤩
Ensuite le boeuf effiloché, el pastor (porc, ananas) & moi j'ai pris les tacos avec crevettes panés. 🫠🫶 extra pico de gallo.
