Review Summary

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. The restaurant offers good value for the price, though some diners suggest being mindful of the final bill to ensure advertised specials are correctly applied. Despite the establishment being occasionally noisy, the overall consensus is that it provides a high-quality dining experience with flavorful, fresh ingredients that keep patrons eager to return.

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!

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.
