I’ve been to Pacifico a few times but this is the first time I’ve ordered more than just their tapas.
The tapas were delicious and there were a ton to pick from. Highly recommend the yucca fries. The pork belly was also good. Overall, we felt that the tapas prices were pretty high for what you get.
The entrees were actually priced somewhat fairly, and were delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked and it went well with the potatoes, while the branzini was crispy and the mussel sauce flavorful.
Dessert was good but also pricey for the size of cake- I believe $10 per piece.
Their drinks are delicious as always, and on par with how much cocktails in neighboring restaurants cost.
Service was great as always and the ambiance is always great.

Delicious food! We sat on the bar for happy hour, had beer, Margaritas & tapas - Cauliflower, Fish Tacos, Chicken Enchilada, Arepa vegetariana. Every single dish was delicious. Loved the food. Bar tender Diana is very friendly & helpful. The sitting is cozy, lovely & warm ambiance. I recommend Pacifico & definitely will visit again.

Great dining experience the ambience is on point. We got a table outside by the heaters and it was great. The food was amazing and expensive but worth it. Plan to spend some money but your taste buds will love this place.
We got the fish tacos and they were great (3), oysters were great , pork belly was my favorite it was so tasty and perfectly cooked. Yukon fries were good , quesadillas were juicy and full of flavor I just think they could be bigger for the price. Salmon tarter was surprisingly good yes the salmon is raw but you won’t know because it’s full of Flavor. stay away from the calamari , for the price that’s way too small and that’s a bit disappointing, even the pork belly portion was bigger ! I think once they correct that it would be perfect.
Drinks were great also but twice servers tried to give us orders for other people , one person didn’t get his order asked for the manager and left. They need to get it together and number the tables to avoid this confusion but we had a 5 star experience regardless.

Happy hour done right - they no longer have oysters on happy hours but the food was very delicious. Happy hour goes from 3 to 6pm and you can only have it at the bar. We ordered fish taco and fries which were fresh and crispy! We also ordered sangria and margaritas off the happy hour menu - sangria was the only thing that was disappointing (it tasted watered down) Octopus was probably the best part of the meal! It was very well done. Overall, good atmosphere, good service and great food! Would recommend.

My favorite restaurant in New Haven. The food is always fresh, delicious, and presentation is gorgeous. Lovely cocktails. Friendly, un-rushed service.

Fantastic experience! We have been wanting to try Pacifico for a while. It definitely lived up to our expectations! Staff is super professional and friendly. Food is amazing. Really great Latin cuisine. Nice selection of choices. Drinks are also quite good!

The food is excellent especially the entrees and fish. The tapas portion are smaller and perfect for 2 people, but for groups I would recommend ordering more tapas than expected. And the drinks are very smooth but not as strong.

I went here last night with my friend for my birthday. The filet mignon says it is served with fries, an egg, rice, etc. I'm expecting to get a beautiful plate with a medium rare filet mignon (customary cooking style for filets) with an egg on top, and all the sides nicely placed all around the plate. Instead, it is all jumbled together in a big soggy cylindrical mess with an egg on top. Yes they put it in a cylinder container so the food had nice "shape" and "presentation" but honestly...a filet mignon is a very simple meal---don't overcomplicate it. Gordon Ramsay would have had a field day if I had tweeted him a photo of what I ate last night at Pacifico. Why on earth would you ever cut up a beautiful piece of meat like filet mignon, and take nice crispy fries and fluffy rice and mix it all together and make it a soggy mess? It just doesn't make any sense. Keep the meat whole, keep the fries separate, rice, etc. It was so gross. I felt like I was eating leftovers for the family dog. I would love a refund.

I have a lot of dietary restrictions and had to request a custom off-menu dinner. Everything was delicious and was done perfectly, I'm happy I can now add Pacifico to the small list of local restaurants that can accommodate my diet.

Used to be a favorite spot to go to... but the quality of food has gone downhill and paying $12 for our coconut mojitos is just not worth it anymore.... 2 drinks each, and 3 tapas, $85.00

The waiter ( Rafat ) was extremely kind and accompanying. Always attentive and even after I spilled my drink extremely helpful. Thank you!

The food is good, and the smoke show cocktail is great. The service not so much and if you come for a later dinner it feels like they rush you to clear the table for the bar crowd. My husband ordered a beer that never came and as soon as we stood they rushed the table to take the chairs away. Maybe we will go back for lunch, the grilled octopus and duck quesadilla were awesome but the service was not good. Inconsistent and slow at times, not at those prices!

Bartender Danny was great! Helped pick out wine and food. Dates con tocino (bacon wrapped dates with blue cheese, almond, chocolate vinaigrette) were phenomenal!

I was pretty disappointed with their New Years Eve Celebration. The dinner even though was good, did not showcase the type of restaurant that I love. Pacifico is one of my favorite spots. I thought my friends would love it too. Unfortunately, both of my friends had food allergies and the menu was very limited, there was no option to order what is usually on the menu, so that was unfortunate. Other than that the food as always was very flavorful and the drinks were great. I hope next year, they atleast have more options with a price option.

Best meal that I’ve had in 3 weeks across 5 states: FL, NC, DC, MA, and CT. The wine pairing recommendation was also spot on! Thank you!
