Friday Night Dinner: Cafe Pacifico
We had visited Cafe Pacifico a few times in the past already, but we hadn't been back for a while, nor written up a review.
As it was a warm day, having Mexican food seemed like a good idea, and starting with a large margarita an even better one.
Cafe Pacifico has fairly standard items on their menu, not nearly as adventurous as Polanco where we dined a few weeks ago. We started our meal to share a couple of Empanadas, with a flavourful filling and a subtle chipotle salsa on the side.
By now our margarita was empty, and we ordered another one while waiting for our main, for which my wife picked the Chicken Chimichanga with black beans. A lovely dollop of guacamole and cream was perched on top. I chose the Sea Bass and King Prawn Tacos. These came in "tempura style" (i.e.: battered and fried), and were served with grilled pineapple, some red onions, and a slightly spicy mayonnaise.
After our mains, we were eventually given the dessert menu. We were quite eying up the churros, but it took so long for staff to return that by that time we had changed our mind and decided not to have any.
In my opinion, there could have been a little more spice and flavour in most of the dishes, and service wasn't the speediest. But it's still a reasonable option for a meal after a hard day of shopping in Covent Garden. We would also have benefitted from ordering a bottle of margaritas, instead of 4 individual large glasses.
