Decided to give this place a try, based off of others reviews. The empty parking lot should have been a sign for us to keep driving. The huge restaurant was empty. Service was fast (again, we were the only ones there). We ordered tacos, quesadillas, and the Azteca special. Tacos were okay. The Azteca special was way too salty and smothered in too much cheese sauce. Quesadillas were fine. Nothing special about this place.

Was excited for 1st time. Appetizer was cold in the middle, service was slow with only 3 tables occupied, the entree was actually good.

Pacifico Mexican Bar & Grill shines for its prime location, vibrant atmosphere, and its ability to comfortably accommodate a large number of guests. Its setting in a bustling area adds a layer of convenience and charm to the dining experience that is hard to match.The inviting ambiance of the restaurant is one of its biggest draws, creating a lively and visually appealing environment suitable for both casual meals and larger celebrations. During my visit, I opted for a beef chimichanga with guacamole on the side. The guacamole stood out for its chunkiness and freshness, indicative of the high-quality ingredients used. While the meal was enjoyable, it fell slightly short when compared to other local dining experiences, particularly in terms of culinary excellence. Additionally, the chips left something to be desired, being thick, hard, and served at room temperature.The cost of the meal, coming to $24 for one person, is another aspect to consider. While not exorbitant, it is a bit on the higher side relative to the overall dining experience, especially when comparing it to other options in the area. This price point, coupled with the mixed feelings about the food compared to local competitors, suggests that while Pacifico Mexican Bar & Grill offers a lot in atmosphere and location, the value might not fully meet everyone’s expectations for the price.Nonetheless, the restaurant’s strengths—particularly its atmosphere, strategic location, and spaciousness—make it a noteworthy choice for those looking to enjoy Mexican cuisine in a vibrant setting. Pacifico Mexican Bar & Grill is well-suited for hosting large groups or for enjoying a lively dine-out experience, with a mindful consideration of its pricing.

We went here on Valentine's Day. The place wasn't busy at all, which should have been the first clue we should have avoided it.I ordered the Enchiladas Supreme. It was 1 bean, 1 cheese, 1 chicken, & 1 beef enchilada. I'm sorry to say they were absolutely flavorless and borderline repulsive. The bean burrito tasted like the beans came straight out of a can. There was nothing flavorful about this at all. I've even had better beans out of a can.The cheese enchilada was made from some gross Velveeta type cheese that stuck inside my mouth and was nasty and made me feel sick. This was nothing like any cheese enchilada I've had at any other Mexican restaurant or in Mexico. Also completely flavorless.The chicken enchilada was the only one that was somewhat palatable but very very bland.The beef enchilada, I don't even know what to say. I don't know what they used to flavor the beef because this was not a Mexican flavor like any I've had before, there was no flavor at all. This was not even Tex-Mex, it was so bland I don't have words for it. I would have preferred Taco Bell meat at this point.When it came time for the check, they dropped off the check and we pulled out our wallet to pay and ask the waiter if we paid here at the table or if there was a register to pay at and he said here at the table and walked away. He saw us pull out our wallet to pay so we assumed he'd be right back but it was 15 minutes before he came back. I was about ready to just leave at that point and find someone else to pay with because I was so sick of sitting there. They weren't busy and there was almost nobody else in the restaurant.I didn't finish more than half of my food and this is the first time that I can remember not even bringing my leftovers home. When he came to clear away the table, he didn't even ask me if I wanted a box. I wonder if it's that common that people don't bring the leftovers home? I can't imagine anybody would want to bring these leftovers back home with them. Overall I am so grossed out by this place and will never return. It's not even Tex-Mex food, it's just disgusting.
Very good service, everything is delicious and good prices.

Food is pretty good but the margaritas are definitely lacking as every time I’ve went they were totally different and filled with soda at the end which is an automatic F.
