Great service, food was excellent, staff were very attentive. Recommend a jug or two of margaritas and the fajitas. Good time was had by all.
Solid Mexican food, decent service. Food was a little stodgy but about what you would expect from a Mexican restaurant and service acceptable on time
The cocktails here are fantastic! They make an excellent mojito and gorgeous caipirinhas. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious- I ordered the Degustation Pacifico which was a sampler dish and I didn't want it to end. This is great authentic Mexican food, with a great atmosphere at a reasonable price.
Great location close to convent garden. Lovely atmosphere with great food and wonderful cocktail menu. The staff were really helpful providing a good knowledge of both food and drinks menu followed by good service
Haven't eaten such bad overpriced Mexican food in my life. Service poor, waiting staff seem uninterested This used to be good I will not return
The manager of cafe Pacifico was excellent , and the service we receivied was brilliant. The food for vegetarian was very good choice for vegetarian.
It was perfect , great food and drink for the right price .... So full now ... Looking forward to going back there sometime soon
Good good Good atmosphere Choice of drinks Great tasting dishes A bit closely placed tables with uncomfortable chairs but you r here to eat Desserts are yummy
Amazing food, service, cocktails and atmosphere. My favourite restaurant in London.
A very pleasant experience with good service and excellent food. At lunchtime it was good to be able to converse with my friends as later in the day when it is more crowded it is often impossible to hear oneself think!
Fantastic! Really enjoyed! The pitcher of margarita we ordered was very weak but was still very good. Food was delivered quickly and was very hot. Great experience. Guacamole was awesome!!
Really good enviroment, friendly staff, cheap price, good food also good coctails, real mexican feeeling, good latin music, easy to get there, near to the station
Good food, closest thing to Mexican I can get. Service is always respectable. No problem with booking. Seated promptly. Staff friendly and responsive. Thank you
Very expensive for rubbery tortillas and very little meat for the fajitas. Service okay and timely. Busy lively restaurant. The Margarittas are excellent as they always were.
This was the second time that we came to this restaurant and unfortunately it was a completely different experience this time round. We had to wait a long time before even our drinks order was taken. The menu/head chef has clearly changed since we were there 6 months ago as the portions had been dramatically reduced in size but still with the hefty price points. We had a Mojito served with just ice and rum, which we were shocked by considering its one of the more popular cocktails! To top it off 5 out of 6 of us were unwell shortly after the meal had finished.
food v good, and so was the atmosphere. Service not exceptional but oh well...no one is perfect I guess. Good choice of music by the way :)
Great food - extremely poor service. The waiting staff were rude to us - we booked a table of 8 for 19:30 and they informed us they would need the table back for 21:30. When we arrived the table wasn't ready - which is not so much of a problem, we could wait. Following this and during the night, when we asked staff who were standing around talking near us to take a drinks order - they said 'just one minute please' and then ignored us. We asked for the dessert menus and again the waitress ignored us and delivered these when we grabbed her attention 10 minutes later. At 21:40 we had to grab her attention to take a dessert order because apparently the table was required back by 21:30??? Anyway, it was a shame as the food really is good there and reasonably priced for central London - don't expect the service to be the same.
I've been eating at this restaurant for 25 years when I visit London. This visit was very good, new items to try, especially the vegetarian enchiladas.
Great night out, lively and value for money. Staff was friendly and food was good, although I missed the audible sizzle of the sizzling plate when it arrived.
Authentic Mexican food but we thought it was very loud and busy. Great for a big boozy group function but not ideal for catching up with close friends or a date.
Excellent service, delicious food and amazing atmosphere. We went New Year's Eve and I definitely loved the fact that it was not a set menu.
Booked a table for Thursday evening and the restaurant was already very busy. Unfortuantely the food was at best, average, and we had to ask for our drinks twice. Also the restaurant was incredibly noisy and we pretty much had to shout to make ourselves heard, so we left pretty soon after our mains.
Good food good atmosphere good location always visit this place when in London. Staff friendly and helpful the home salsa is excellent my favourite meal is chimichanga
I think i said on a previous review in November that after eating at Cafe Pacifico for 30 years i had not had one bad meal. I would like to change that as the meal on Saturday was dreadfull. I will offcourse go back shocked that the quality could drop so far, hope they getback to were they normally are.
Lovely restaurant serving things like tacos/enchiladas etc. The margarita cocktail was very authentic. We also had a beer with fish and celery sauce! Favourite thing = mole sauce. Yum!
Great atmosphere - very lively, food was as you would expect from a Mexican Restaurant & good waitress service. Definitely worth a night out. Book ahead.
First class meal great service good value for money good atmosphere very highly recommend in great location for getting into Covent Garden to extend your evening
Flavorful food and tasty drinks. Great atmosphere, but it can get loud on a Friday or Saturday night, if you're trying to have a conversation. They also go so heavy on the ice in the Margaritas, that it only takes a few sips to finish. To bad, because they taste great. Be nice if they weren't so skimpy on the chips. Still a good dinner or lunch out.
Absolutely great - fantastic food and excellent service in a great atmosphere !! Prices are sensible too - not rediculously expensive for Covent Garden - we will be back !!
Great atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Food was very good too. Will go again.
Really good place, tables too close together, good food though
Nice place with good food. Value was good as we had a voucher. Would be keen to work my way through cocktail menu next time. Laid back vibe. Service was good but then slow to get the bill. Our waitress was very helpful explaining the menu and options.
Good food - big portions. Lunch menu is great value. I will go back, it's a very handy location in Covent Garden too. Relaxed atmosphere.
Fantastic staff extremely helpful and friendly. Fantastic food would highly recommend.
Got seated earlier than our reservation and amazing service considering how full the restaurant was.
Amazing food really good cocktails - large and flavoursome and prob the best value for money in covent garden and surrounding area. Love to go again.
Food was great-just the right level of spice, very fresh--service was outstanding--noise was a bit over the top. We had appetisers, drinks (daquiri didn't seem to have much alcohol) and mains.
My son wanted to come here to celebrate his 18 with family and friends. This place is great! Food / drink / staff / service all top notch! ( though the portions have gotten a bit smaller )
Lovely food, authentic Mexican cuisine and the restaurant has a wide choice of for both food and drinks. The service was excellent and so was the presentation of food.
Fantastic time at cafe pacifico for my sisters hen do. Great food, great service and lots of fun! The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
