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.
TOUS était délicieux ! Prix abordable. Le ceviche mango & habanero, les quesadillas, sopa de tortillas, le tostada etaient trooooop bon. La viande est bien assaisonnée & de qualité ! J'ajoute dans mes top restos mexicains définitivement.
On a bien apprécié le happy-hour pour les drinks de 17-19H.
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.
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.
Food is amazing! The drinks are great too, it's a small cozy place, very cute decorated, perfect spot for a date!
The service is nice but a little slow, that's the only thing I think they could improve.
I will definitely come back!
11/10 pour la nourriture, les boissons (surtout celles à base de mezcal) & l'excellent service de Natalia, qui était une hôte chaleureuse & organisée malgré l'achalandage. C'est notre nouveau spot préféré d'Hochelaga
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!
Excellent service ! Un énorme merci à Diego, notre serveur, qui a réagi super vite & avec beaucoup de sang-froid quand mon ami s'est étouffé en mangeant. Il a géré la situation avec calme & professionnalisme, ça nous a vraiment rassurés. En plus, le service & l'ambiance étaient parfaits. On reviendra sans hésiter ! Diego +1000 Aura points
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!
