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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
