Profile

With its backyard-barbecue vibe and spacious leafy deck, Pacifico feels much farther than half a block from the Smith Street fray. Owner Jimmy Mamary (of Patois, Schnäck, and Gowanus Yacht Club fame) built the place on a lot once used for parking off-duty frankfurter carts, but the “glorified taco stand” menu (flank-steak fajitas, chile rellenos, and chorizo skewers) doesn’t conjure up any dirty-water-dog ghosts. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Yucca Fries...

The food is consistently stellar. The service is sometimes good or sometimes lacking, it depends who the server is. I usually opt for indoor seating and the service is better. The onion and chorizo app is to die for... and so are the yucca fries, delish!

Buzz Kill

Do not expect service here, which may have to do with the recent new ownership. Since the outdoor seating is so tempting, I've been 3 times now, but on my last attempt we walked out before receiving the drinks. To start, we ordered over $30 of appetizers and beverages; the waitress rudely told us that we may have to give up our table since we weren't eating "dinner." (It was 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon and the place was empty.) The guacamole is above average, but overpriced and not worth the aggravation. If you're looking for tasty tacos and tequila in a relaxed outdoor setting, El Pacifico will not live up to expectation but surely kill your weekend buzz.
