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 !

La meilleure cuisine mexicaine que j'ai mangée, les tacos birria sont exceptionnels. Les cocktails sont aussi très bons.
