" This place is hitting all the right notes! The ambiance makes it feel like an adventurous escape, and then there's the mouthwatering food. The ceviche was vibrant and refreshing, and I enjoyed every bite. Service was friendly and warm too. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent seafood, particularly the fish dishes! The freshness is unmatched, and I love that there's a Mexican flair to all of it. However, I wouldn’t recommend coming here if you’re pressed for time; it takes a while to get your food and drinks. " (*Curated Review*)

" Surprisingly wonderful seafood! We opted for the mixed platter, which included everything from shrimp to octopus, all seasoned to perfection. The vibrant atmosphere made it an enjoyable dining experience. Service was prompt, and our drinks were never empty! Highly recommend. " (*Curated Review*)

" Totally satisfied with our visit! My friends and I ordered various seafood dishes, and they were exceptionally fresh. The chilaquiles had a lovely kick to them, and excellent cocktails to wash it down. The only downside was the tables were a bit close together, making it hard to have private conversations. Would definitely recommend to seafood lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Restaurant El Pacifico expecting an authentic experience and while the food delivered on that front, the service indeed left much to be desired. My friends and I got there pretty early and were quite surprised by how long it took for the food to arrive. It took nearly 40 minutes for our appetizers to hit the table! The shrimp cocktail was brilliant and the overall flavor of the main dishes was just what we hoped for, but we struggled with calling our server over to get checks too when we were done. It’s hard to enjoy your meal fully when service drags. I’m giving them 3 stars for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. The food was good but far from spectacular, and I expected more authentic flavors given the restaurant's reputation. The service was slow, and I felt like we were just another number to the staff. I won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience here was subpar. While the ambiance is lively, the service was slow and inattentive. My order was wrong, and it took too long for them to rectify it. But the food, once it arrived, was delightful, especially the shrimp ceviche which was fresh and tangy. Regrettably, the service left a bad taste, and I’m not sure if I’d return. " (*Curated Review*)
