Food was great with cocktails, wine and three courses, but received the worst service of my life with a waiter bringing us wrong dish at every course - shrimp ceviches when the speical was snapper ceviche, salmon instead of mahi mahi, and wrong dessert too - ALL were specials taboot. The waiter was less than forgiving and manager nearly laughed at how poor their service was giving us practically zero accomodation. First time I ever stiffed a waiter and hopefully the only time. I loved the food when I finally got the right dish, but the service was so dreadful I can't be bothered to return.

    A return visit and this time the food and service proved better. Seafood is the best choice and the bar mixes a mean mojito. Primarily a young crowd, but enough of a mix to make everyone feel comfortable.

  • I stumbled across this restaurant when I was in CT and I am happy I did. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautify.

    Don’t go to New Haven for Yale… go for Pacifico… you will not be disappointed.

    A different kind of mexican, cuban and spanish fusion. Some times not very integrated concept. Like the food, buts not so much, they have fresh ingredients do, and simple menu. Regular cocktails and in general is average restaurant to hang.

  • big gray mouse running back and forth under my bench and tables located on second floor corner, mouse dropping etc. lost appetite, over priced for portions size, waitress misrepresented in describing food during ordering, sick the next morning. 1st floor was smokey from open kitchen, cloths reaked from smoke. save your money, spend it elsewhere.

  • EEKS - a MOUSE!! Went to Pacifico for 1st time on Sat, 1/28/12, & was shocked to see a large gray mouse while waiting to order. We sat on 2nd floor dining room against the wall & my friend was sitting on the bench when I saw a large mouse dart out from behind the bench, over to a table, & then back behind the bench. We informed waitress & she had waiters put cardboard behind bench & under gaps on floor. Food was overpriced for small portions!
