Mexcal Cantina Pacifico

This place was OK, the food was good, the menu was OK I wasn't really impressed but I'm sure that this place has a lot of potential. I went on a very slow night, I think we were the only customers in the place and it's just one large open room, it's kind of strange, seems like there should be a stage or something for a band but no. I know this used to be the old Joe's crab shack and it's like they just gutted it and added tables covering the entire space. The bar reaches across the room so finding a seat at the bar shouldn't be a problem. We had fajitas for two, they were really good and fresh, everything was fresh. I wasn't really impressed with the salsa, it was nothing special and the chips were very hard, I like fresh crisp chips but not everyone does. The bartender was really sweet, we had talked about where she was from, she was from Columbia and I think most of the people that work there are also from Columbia. The bathrooms were clean no complaints there... The parking is a little annoying so just make sure you park in the parking lot of the actual restaurant because if you park next-door at saltgrass the security guard says he will have your car towed. Honestly I'll probably never go back but this is not really my style, so I'm not gonna say that I wouldn't recommend it I just wouldn't recommend it for myself. I did see an outdoor patio area but on the night I was there it was freezing so that wouldn't have worked, probably would be a fun little spot when the weather is better.

I really hope their food gets better! $20 shrimp cocktail that looked like a bowl of ketchup? Not even my dog would eat it! The octopus tostada was awful! No flavor at all! The fish ceviche tostada was good, but I'm definitely not going back for years because they are pretty expensive and it's gonna be a hit or miss! If they can't even get the soft drinks to taste well, don't expect much from their food!

WoW! This place is amazing! It's beautifully decorated and their patio is beautiful! The Selena tribute is so gorgeous! Then go inside to see this huge dining area with plenty of tables to serve large or small groups. A well-stocked bar with plenty to choose from! The service is friendly and prompt! We were with a large group celebrating a birthday and the staff was on point with their service! We were waited on promptly and given great service. She brought our drinks, water, and food out fast despite us arriving late and adding our order in. Once the food came out, it was brought hot and fresh and OMG was it delicious! Those fajitas are so tasty and tender! Oh and if you visit on a Friday night, you're in for a real treat! A real BANDA comes through with all of the 25+ members playing horns, trumpets, and tubas! Oh, it's a sight and a wonderful sound to hear!

First time visit loved all the screens available for football games on Sunday! Family atmosphere very welcoming. Food was delicious will definitely return! Great service, prompt & fast.

I was looking forward to this place as I pass it up often , but damn thee service was ass! Overpriced watered down drinks as well /: not to mention the bartender , Mayra was it ? She was rude & entitled af. Literally would probably only come to enjoy the banda but even then ide rather just go to a different spot considering how ass the service was .

Any place that greets you with a larger than life image of Selena has to be great, right? Absolutely right! There's even a cocktail named after her! And, the cocktails are tasty, with many to choose from. The apps also came in many varieties, including chicharrones, tilapia, shrimp, and octopus. (I plan to try the tilapia chicharrones next time!)The food comes at a great price point and the servings are generous. The service was at the 22% level. But the winner for the experience was the live music followed by the DJ. Thursday nights are jumping here! I plan to check out the crowd on Saturday. The fight will be shown!

The scenery of this place alone is enough for you to want to try! The bright purple sign drew my sis and I in for lunch and the enchiladas for were delicious. However the shrimp salad , where the shrimp were immaculate was dryly Served with ranch. Server was attentive. Authentic bartenders making delicious drinks, one of the best piña coladas in the city! Pros:Authentic MexicanMenu in Spanish Ambiance is a cool Mexican vibeMexican music played only Clean restrooms Plenty of seating and space Bar extends Scenery very nice Plenty of photo ops Pina coladaHappy hourCons:Needs to design a better cohesively designed menu Option to make the salad with a vinaigrette or lime ranch dressing.

Stephanie at the bar was amazing! Great service and drinks! Great ambiance!! Also, great selection of alcohol

Well, after one of our tournaments, we were looking for a place for all of us to go eat and we stumbled upon this beautiful restaurant. It's out on I 45 and it was the old Joe's Crab shack. As far as the looks of this restaurant. It is gorgeous. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors. A beautiful bar. The service was very good. The waiters waitresses host, etc. they were all so very very nice. There was about 10 of us. We mainly ordered the Mexican food - the fajitas and flautas and quesadillas with the beans and rice and pico de gallo. Our beef / chicken fajitas for one was plenty for the two of us. The chicken was very flavorful. The beef was pretty tender. The charro beans were so good. They were flavored so well. The rice was good. The pico de gallo left a little to be desired but they did put a pepper that they grilled on top of the fajitas and let me tell you it was hot. There was definitely a kick behind it. One of the ladies got the salmon and she said it was excellent. I took a picture of the top of the salmon plate but not from the side so you can't see that this salmon fillet is about 2 1/2 inches thick. It was a lot and she said it was flavored so well. The flautas were good. The quesadillas, they said the beef was very tender. A Friend got the enchiladas and he really really liked them . So the amount of food you get is a lot for the price. The prices are medium. They're not super expensive. There was a lady that came around took pictures of our table, and then she came back with them in a frame and offered for us to buy them for $20 apiece. So that's why they're taking your picture. We think this place is probably more known for their seafood. They have a lot and one of our guys said he will definitely be coming back to try the octopus. He said it looked really good. So, if you're in the mood for Mexican food and you're at I 45 go ahead and go by. Just the beauty alone the Murial of Selena and Freda are done so well. The patio has a humongous TV on it. So great for game days and race days things like that. Really good for large parties. I think we'll definitely go back.

The food taste good and my waitress was very attentive but my food was burnt. Queso is water but has flavor . Beautifully set up inside
