In Mexico, Pacifico is a beer, but on the corner of Pacific and Smith Streets it is a Mexican oasis amidst a sea of Asian and Italian restaurants. With string lighting and clay tiles adorning the walls, it's hard to remember Pacifico is in Brooklyn.
The menu lists classic Mexican favorites like enchiladas, fajitas, and tacos as well as new twists such as chorizo steamed mussels, macaroni and cheese, and crab cakes. Each appetizer, entree, and side dish rings in at $15 or less to keep your wallet and your belly full.
However, the real allure of Pacifico is not the food. Sangria is offered in both red and white versions in varying sizes of pitchers. The house margaritas have the strength of twenty Mexicans and, if you're not careful, will knock you out of your chair. Order a solo margarita for $6 or a pitcher to share with a lot of friends for $32. During happy hour from 4pm-7pm Monday through Friday, enjoy a margarita for just $4 or a bottle of beer for $3. Happy hour specials are good at the bar and tables, so feel free to sit on the patio or in one of the three cozy dining areas.
Weekend Brunch also offers great drinks specials with Bloody Marys, margaritas, and draft and bottle beers for $4 and mimosas and bellinis for $3 each.
Keep Pacifico on your radar for upcoming Cinco de Mayo, which is NOT Mexican Independence Day. They are rumored to have a raging party with great drink specials.
Subway Directions: Take the F or G trains to Bergen Street then walk two blocks North on Smith Street to Pacific Street. Or, take the A or C trains to Hoyt-Schermerhorn then walk three blocks South on Hoyt to Pacific, turn right and walk one block to Smith Street.
