El Pacifico has good Mexican food. The service is prompt and quick, which is abnormal for Grand Lake. They recently did some minor remodeling and it looks great. The restaurant is family friendly and convenient in downtown.

Love the food... Love the owners... Love the atmosphere... Highly recommend! Been going there on a regular basis for a few years now and really love and appreciate the efforts the owners are putting into remodeling and updating the dining/dancing/music areas. Great job, Charlie and Maria!

This is the first time I have been to Grand Lake, and El Pacifico is the place to celebrate a special occasion! Not only is the food delicious and the margaritas EXCELLENT! But, the company and atmosphere is perfect for a fun, warm, and relaxing evening. My advice is to sit down and enjoy being in a mountain town. Take... More

The charm of El Pacifico is unmatched by any in Grand Lake. We don't understand some of these more negative reviews -- they obviously choose not to enjoy the charm! The food is fantastic, Bob (the weekend entertainment) provides endless amounts of entertainment in the form of comedic asides to wonderful songs. Maria and Charlie run a wonderful and magical...

The service is adequate, but nothing notable. You'll get what you ordered, but not particularly quickly nor by anyone noticeably happy to be at work. The margaritas are not very good, so skip those. The food is of average quality and portion size. They are the only mexican food place in Grand Lake and will do in a pinch, but... More

This our favorite place when we come to Grand Lake. We have a second home there and always make it a point to come and eat at this wonderful restaurant. Maria and Charlie are very nice owners who always come and see us when we come in. We also really enjoy Bob, who plays music on most weekend nights. Food... More

We eat at El Pacifico every Friday. Maria and Charlie, the owners, have a daily special during the week, that you can't beat! Today we had chimicangas with green chili that were delicious! It's the best deal in town! You know the food is fresh and tasty. The service is very good! If you're in Grand Lake during the week,... More

Food was served warm at best. How hard is it to serve hot rice and beans along with the entree? Do not waste your time here for the money spent.

You'll enjoy your eating experience at this restaurant. The food is delicious, and the green chile is fantastic. The only place to eat Mexican food in Grand County! The margaritas will make you smile. They are pricey but worth every penny. It is family owned and operated. Not a chain restaurant. A must when eating in Grand Lake. It's located... More
