Fiesta-Ready Dining in London

Cafe Pacifico in Covent Garden feels like walking into a fun Mexican fiesta right in the heart of London. This lively Tex-Mex restaurant is full of energy, making it a great spot for a night out with friends. For 43 years, this vibrant place has been the backdrop for countless fun parties, fueled by a passion as fiery as Mexican spice!

Ambiance:
With its vibrant decor and buzzing atmosphere, you’ll feel the party vibes from the moment you walk in. The colorful surroundings and upbeat ambiance make Cafe Pacifico a go-to destination in Covent Garden for groups ready to dive into some serious fun.

Service:
Service at Cafe Pacifico was a mixed bag. The staff was friendly, bringing plenty of good vibes to the tables, but every now and then, they seemed to get caught up in the whirlwind of fun, leading to a few delays and little mix-ups.

The energy here is always high, but during peak hours, it can feel more like a lively carnival—sometimes chaotic.

Drinks:
Whether you’re sipping on a zesty margarita or diving into a tequila flight, the drinks here are all about keeping the party going.

They actually started in 1982, serving fresh Mexican food and also as the UK’s first tequila bar!

Price: ££
You can do Wallet-friendly fiesta!

What I Ordered:

  • Quesadillas with Chicken
  • *Baja Style Sea Bass and King Prawn Tacos
  • Chimichanga

Quesadillas with Chicken

Quesadillas with Chicken Cafe Pacifico
Quesadillas with Chicken £11.5

This dish is perfect for anyone craving a Tex-Mex classic. The quesadillas were oozing with gooey melted cheese—there was a seriously cheesy fiesta happening inside! The crispy tortillas were the perfect crunchy counterpart, making every bite a celebration.

Served with a tangy salsa, but honestly, these quesadillas were a party all on their own. It’s a comforting, hearty option that’s great for sharing or enjoying on your own.

*Baja Style Sea Bass and King Prawn Tacos

Baja Style Sea Bass and King Prawn Tacos Cafe Pacifico
Baja Style Sea Bass and King Prawn Tacos £18.5

These tacos were a crunchy dream! The sea bass was perfectly cooked, flaky, and seasoned with a zesty blend of spices that gave it a delightful kick. The king prawns were plump and juicy, adding a succulent touch to each bite.

Topped off with a creamy, tangy sauce that pulled it all together, these tacos were a flavor explosion. Each taco was packed with fun and flavor!

Chimichanga

Chimichanga Cafe Pacifico
Chimichanga £15.95

It was a deep-fried delight packed with mouthwatering fillings that satisfied my Tex-Mex cravings in the best way possible.

The chimichanga was served with fresh guacamole, tangy salsa, and sour cream, which added a refreshing contrast to the rich, savory filling. The combination of the crunchy exterior and the gooey, delicious interior made for a mouthwatering experience that hit all the right notes.

Also, I couldn’t get enough of those tasty side beans and finished every last bite myself—pure Tex-Mex joy!

Conclusion:

Cafe Pacifico is the perfect spot for anyone craving Tex-Mex flavors with a side of fun! It’s not about strict authenticity here—it’s all about bringing the fun to your plate. So, if you’re in the mood for bold flavors and good times, Cafe Pacifico is a place to visit!

Tips from Hanako:

  • They’ve got a Halal menu ready to roll! Just check it out here and get the party started.
  • With plenty of space to spread out, you don’t need to book ahead unless you’re throwing a mega bash!
