Café Pacifico

Food was fantastic, prompt, and they had the service to match!

Yummy guacamole, cocktails and nice service. Unfortunately we didn’t rate the main food due to flavour and freshness...we had the vegetarian options. It was also quite pricey...lucky for First Table discount or we would have been disappointed.

We visited as a party of 4 for pre theatre lunch.
We were greeted and seated at our small table. The restaurant was not overly busy, the music was quite loud but did not drown conversation.
Drinks orders were taken and arrived promptly.
The food arrived in good time as well. The table was too small for all the dishes served to us until we discovered hidden pull up sections which extended the table which added more space.
My husband and I both had fajitas costing £19.50 each. In my opinion there were far too many onions and peppers. If I wanted a vegetarian fajita I would have ordered one.
The other two members of our party had burritos which were very nice.
The only other bug bear I have is when restaurants automatically add service charge to your bill, I know it’s optional, but I feel so what embarrassed asking them to remove it, they waiting staff certainly didn’t warrant the charge they added.
Would I return, probably, it’s close to Covent Garden and easily accessible.

Fantastic experience... Helpful as my husband has quite tricky food intolerances. The atmosphere is fun,welcoming and overall a great choice in London.

Without a doubt the best Mexican restaurant in London! Highly recommended!

Great experience. Food is amazing. And service was great. Loved this place. Will definitely go back. A bit loud but it was a busy Friday so didn’t really bother me. Will be going back soon.

Cafe Pacifico was a real hit for us as we ate before going to the Savoy theatre. The food was tasty and service excellent. We would have no hesitation in going again with or without the First Table discount. Thank you.

Service was friendly and prompt and the food was very good.
I would definitely go back.

First time to the restaurant and absolutely wonderful! The service, ambience and food. Sorry I didn’t get the names of the two people who saw to us throughout the meal, but they’re a real asset to this place!

It was a great late booking and brilliant to get 50% off. Food was great and fast. No complaints. Would do again for sure!!!

Very cosy and nice restaurant, amazing food! Will come back here definitely!

It was great experienced

Amazing food, lovely service, couldn’t recommend enough

Took my daughter for a night out booked the ahead. The service and food was excellent which really made it a special evening Thank you

I really enjoyed the chimichanga, and the starter platter was excellent

I've been to Cafe Pacifico a number of times and they never disappoint. Tasty food, my favourites are beef fajitas and pork tacos. Service is always prompt and friendly. They always forget the FF discount but rectify the bill once mentioned (so we remind them when asking for the bill). Great experience over all!

Delicious food

Delicious food on a lively atmosphere. Great location, minutes from Covent Garden. Will go again.

Great experience at Cafe Pacifico! The margarita cocktails were amazing. Food was great and the staff were very attentive. Loved the decor too!

Fantastic restaurant with yummy food! Very quick service and a great location by Covent Garden. Would definitely visit again

We had a lovely meal, the fajitas were especially good as were the cocktails! Great, speedy service, too.

Fantastic food and fantastic initial service, but once the host at the front door had shown us the table the wait staff were not interested at all. They looked bored and over worked although there weren't too many people in the restaurant when we ate.

The food was ok, very much tex-mex style. We ordered a large range of dishes but thought the sweet potato fries were done the best, which isn’t great considering they are specialising in Mexican food. The enfrijoladas were also tasty so I’d recommend those. The duck tacos were not good, it tasted like a cheap cut of meat and there wasn’t a standout flavour in them. The portions do not reflect the price! My favourite part was the margaritas, so I would recommend going there for a drink but nothing more.

I’ve been many times before and loved and recommend this to others. I was appalled by my experience this time. I was embarrassed i’d taken friends there. Price have gone up loads. Left to wait ages to order. Food is usually quick, Which is why we went pre theatre. We had to chase and chase the food. The waitress was extremely rude to my friend who did this. Both in what she said and her body language. Took an hour! We had to ask for the bill more than once as we needed to eat and run. My veg fajitas were raw as they’d rushed our order, raw broccoli is impossible to bite! Not the required number of wraps for everyone, so i just had one less. Couldn’t be bothered to complain and wait again, we were too late. Bill didn’t have discount on! Another wait. And huffy staff. Won’t be returning. Lost a customer who has been going over 12 years. Please avoid!

Lively venue but not too loud, complimentary nachos on arrival, excellent amounts of cheese on the dishes!

Great cocktails and guacamole.

We had a great time at Cafe Pacifico! The food was delicious, particularly the duck tacos and the beef/vegetable fajitas - fantastic! This was my first time using First Table and I will definitely be using again - I needed to alter my booking from 3 people to 4, and first table responded to my email query almost immediately and rebooked the table for me to include the change, meaning the offer was for all of us. Thank you First Table and thank you Cafe Pacifico!

Good food and great vibe. Nice cocktails. Staff were busy and forgotten our mains which was fine as we were enjoying ourselves.

Lovely Mexican restaurant that you know is going to be good when you walk in and it is filled with Spanish speaking staff and customers. Food and service were exceptional! Would definitely recommend.

I really enjoyed the food and the staff was very friendly.

We were greeted quite quickly and shown our table. We ordered margaritas which they were amazing but can’t say the same for the food. Guacamole was plain and missing some taste and lime. The sharing mix platter was ok, but some came cold. My boyfriend ordered el pastor tacos, it was delivered in quite a funky way, but the meat was chewy and not tasty. I had to secretly take some out. The tortillas were dry and hard around the edges. I ordered enfrijoladas, it was good in all of them. We were asked at least 4 times if everything was ok, but I don’t like to complain. So all in all, I wouldn’t go to cafe Pacifico if I want to have a tasty Mexican food, but would only go for margaritas.

Great service and tasty food! Will be back, thank you!

The food and service was excellent. Very busy and popular. Duck tacos very very tasty. Would love to return.

Lovely first experience at cafe pacifico. Servers were friendly, was quickly shown to our table and lovely choice of food on the menu. Food was quick to arrive and decent size portions I.e good value for money.

Fantastic food, vibe and service. I can understand why the margaritas there have won awards- they are so very tasty!

The food was delicious - particularly the duck tacos. One of the dishes we ordered was forgotten but the cocktails were incredible.

Had a wonderful time at Cafe Pacifico last night, went out to celebrate fathers day with the family. The service was excellent even thought the place was busy. Food was delicious - would highly recommend the burrito and the quesadilla.
The homemade lemonade was very refreshing! Overall a great experience and I will certainly be returning.

Really good Mexican food and nice venue!

The food was lovely although maybe not the most authentic which is a shame as there seems to be a distinct lack of authentic Mexican food in London! The service was amazing and everyone was delightful from start to finish! Good selection of beers and the decor is very cool. Would go back as they seem to have a large selection of cocktails and the ambiance was awesome!

Cafe Pacifico is one of my favourite places in Covent Garden. Vibrant, lively and energetic. Friendly prompt attentive staff. Fabulous food! Fajitas are my go-to item on the menu, love preparing my own warps and filling with sauces. Great cocktail list too. Highly recommended!

A great midweek meal at Cafe Pacifco... a great find with the huge amount of Mexican on offer in London. I had the chicken chimichangas which were delish but total food envy of my pal who has the duck and blueberry tacos. Would go back for sure!

Cool venue with very tasty food and great drinks selection. The cocktail menu is extensive and not just your standard cocktails. The food as well was fantastic and a little bit different to a normal Mexican restaurant, we tried the duck tacos for example which were fantastic. Would definitely return here again and try other things from the menu.

Good place for the lovers of Mexican food aficionados, otherwise you won't enjoy. In regards to the food itself, I ordered tacos with the duck that was dry, with an excessive amount of greenery underneath. Mushrooms were again dry whereas you expected them to be succulent. But again - that's Mexican thing I assume. The way they do lets put it that way.

Cafe Pacifico is always a joy to return. Attentive and prompt service. Delicious food. This time we went for 2 sharing degustation plates - one from the starters and another from the mains. Both were very good. Will be back for more!

Moderately priced given the central location. Quite noisy but would be fine for an early dinner or drinks before theatre etc.

Excellent Strawberry Margarita and very good duck tacos and chimichanga. The complimentary nachos with salsa at the beginning were also nice. Service was quick and friendly.

Cafe Pacifico is one of my favourites. The food is always fresh and tasty. The menu is quite extensive so I’m still go though, trying everything it has to offer. This time I had chimichanga and fajitas (sizzling hot, my favourite). The place is big and the staff are friendly and attentive. Always a pleasure to return. Would highly recommend to everyone!

Food was delicious with lots of variety on the menu!

Good portions sizes. Nachos were tasty.

Food was delicious! Service very slow as it was understandably very busy, but great place if you've got plenty of time to enjoy!
