One of the first Mexican restaurants in Lebanon and the story continues Pacifico was there when Beirut wasn't even known for its nightlife.  Pacifico is one of the first Mexican restaurants and bar in town.  Monot Street didn't survive the evolution of time, but Pacifico did, and is still there serving the most authentic food and drinks. I would surely recommend their Mixed Fajitas after a loaded Nachos entree. For drinks, do not think twice, regardless of if it’s a strawberry, lemon, mango or any other fruit flavor, their Margueritas are simply amazing. Make sure not be driving back cause the fun will transport you to a world of dreams.

Pacifico

The motto written on wall - “Salud, amor y pesos, y tiempo para gastarlos” (literally translated to “Health, love and money, and time to spend it all”) – says a lot about this venue.

Painted in a pale yellow to give off that sort of Latin American colonial feel, Pacifico is about two things - the cocktails and the atmosphere. An older crowd of well-healed Beirutis is meshed with wandering travellers, diplomats and journalists, all of whom know it's the place to be.
 
With service to match the atmosphere, expect to be tipping high. The music ranges from Cuban to jazz and Afro-Latin, making Pacifico the place to go before you hit the clubs.
