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.
Un petit restaurant bien sympathique dans Hochelaga. La cuisine était vraiment bonne, même si pour le prix on aimerait un peu plus, c'est léger. Le service était plutôt gentil mais pas parfait! A découvri
Love this place. I've been twice & everything is delicious & inexpensive. The service & vibe are also great. I hope it stays like this because it's officially my new go-to spot. Margs are $5 on Thurdays!
Parmi tous les restaurants mexicains du quartier, il est de loins le meilleur!
Plats préparés avec attention, savoureux!
Ambiance & service parfait.
Prix abordable. Beaucoup plus comme un petit bistro qu'on retrouverait à Mexico city qu'un restaurant de tacos de Quintana Roo
Omg je suis en amour, avec ma blonde mais aussi avec El pacifico. Troisième visite & toujours aussi satisfait! Le service est excellent (sourire & rapidité), les drinks me donnent le goût de danser & la nourriture est sublime! Essayez le ceviche habanero ( cuidado caliente!), le sebaste québécois rend honneur aux saveurs mexicaines! 10/10
Une super surprise. La décoration est magnifique, le service excellent & la nourriture parfaite. Un rapport qualité-prix imbattable, surtout les mardi où tacos sont à 3$ chaque.

Ceviche was delicious, our tacos tasted authentic which says alot. Margs hit the spot, all in all a great place to enjoy authentic Mexican in a lively but quaint lil resto bar.
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.
