Pacifico Reviews
We had a delicious dinner and dining experience. We will definitely go back.
Had an early dinner there. Music did not reflect hispanic ambiance; techno bar flavor, instead. A shame.
Food bill reflected $2.00 charge for ice in a drink. Ridiculous! Server was friendly and attentive.
Terrible terrible service. Went with a group a 3 people which made it a party of 4. There were 3 other parties in the restaurant. With four servers in the restaurant. So it was basically empty. The hostess refused to allow me and my party to enter the restaurant without masks, so we went and got masks. The entire time we were there the Bartender did not have her mask on. (Which I have a photo of) Neither did the bus boy. We had to keep flagging down the server in order to order...read full review

Pacifico is a restaurant with a limited menu, but the food is great, featuring standout dishes like duck quesadillas and fish tacos. The Sunday brunch offers a fantastic deal. While parking can be a challenge in downtown New Haven, Pacifico is worth visiting multiple times for its delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant specializes in retro Latin cuisine, and the cocktails, such as margaritas and mojitos, are tasty. Customers have praised the impeccable service, with servers providing excellent recommendations and helping to navigate the menu. The food, including guacamole con chicharron, Paella Palomino, and Churrasco A La Parrilla, has been described as having incredible flavors. The paella is well prepared, and the sauce used for the cauliflower tapa is delightful. Desserts, especially the flourless chocolate cake, are highly praised. Some guests mentioned that seating upstairs can feel isolating, but overall, the experience is enjoyable. The portions are generous, and the food is flavorful, making Pacifico a great choice for date nights or special occasions. With its convenient location near the Shubert theater, many customers have found their visits to Pacifico to be memorable, often returning just for the food and great service.
