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.
Beau petit resto mexicain avec une terasse. Un tout petit menu choix tres restreints. Par contre, les trois sortes de taco que nous avons pris étaient excellents !! Malheureusement, les assiettes sont vraiment petites & aucun accompagnement. Je suis donc restée sur ma faim & ne suis pas une personne qui mange beaucoup. Je suis arrivée a la maison & j'avais encore faim. Les margaritas sont très bons mais petits (profitez des prix réduits jusqu'à 19h). Service lent & pas tres efficace.
TRES heureuse d'avoir enfin un resto mexican de qualité dans le quartier. C'était franchement délicieux quoi qu'un peu salé je dois l'avouer. J'y retournerai sans hésitation dans tous les cas !

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.
Super belle découverte, je recommande absolument. Endroit chaleureux & accueillant avec un bon service & de bons petits cocktail. Le ceviche était délicieux & leurs tacos, miam!!
