  Not great

  Current

  I've been here twice and have not been impressed. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't completely unhappy about the whole thing, but I don't think this place is the best Mexican you can get. Plus the staff aren't that friendly, and it is expensive, for what it is. You can definitely do better than this, I just haven't found it yet.

  Tasty and filling

  Current

  We scanned the dinner menu before sitting down for lunch and realised it could be quite expensive if you're not dining during the middle of the day.
  
  Having said that, the lunch special menu featured a number of spicy, filling, tasty dishes for £6.50 each. Add in a wonderful starter - the Taquitos with shredded beef were amazing - and you have a great meal for just under a tenner.
  
  Only downside is the day we went, the place was hopping so getting served, getting the cheque and paying took ages. What should have been about 40 minutes was well over 90.

  Avoid!

  Current

  I'm sorry to say that we had a bad time at Cafe Pacifico. We were constantly rushed, couldn't hear each other speak, and were not allowed to leave the table at the same time in case we were 'runners'. How insulting.
  Added to that, the food is the worst kind of fake Mexican I have ever seen: microwaved rice, processed cheese, flavourless sauce which could easily have been Italian or any other tomato-based number.
  All in all, weak drinks, aggressive staff, laughable food and a non-optional 'optional service charge' which they in no way deserved. A real shame. A waste of an evening.
  I cannot recommend this place in any way.

  If you're a fan of Mexican food, then you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't try this place out.
  Large portions of excellent, authentic tasting mexican food at reasonable prices, and really great (and strong) cocktails.
  My favourite restaurant in London, period.
  If you have any space after your main meal, you could to a lot worse than to try out the Cafe Pacifico on the desert menu.

  Visit Mexico via Covent Garden

  Current

  Cafe Pacifico is a hip, bustling bar and open restaurant just off Covent Garden. Fabulous frozen margaritas, famous hot sauce and a wide-ranging authentic menu. The ambiance is vibrant and it's a great place for a fun night out and for groups. Though, be warned, it's charm is well known and you will usually wait an hour for a table... lucky, in true South American style, you can run a tab at the bar while you wait ;-)

  Best Mexican in London

  Current

  Cafe Pacifico is, hands down, the best Mexican food you can find in London. It's right by Covent Garden tube station, so very central, and always busy. The cocktails are strong, authentic and tasty (though quite expensive), and the food is invariably delicious. The portions are quite large, so there is really no need for a starter, though what would a Mexican meal be without the nachos dripping with cheese, guacamole and sour cream be, right? It has the feel of old Mexico, in that it is a little scruffy on the inside, though not in a "cheap" way, more in an "authentic" way. If you like Mexican food, drink and ambience, you'll be hard-pressed to find a menu item you don't like here.
