This location of Camilas is in a old theater. Its fun to see things be brought back to life. Service is good. Majority of the wait staff is happy to be there. Food is a wide variety and I get something different each time. Can't go wrong with chips & salsa. read more

Food was mediocre. Service was bare minimum. Hostess seemed put out to seat us. It just all felt off the entire meal. The highlight was my guacamole on my enchiladas poblanos. My husband's meal was actually wrong and he didn't even ask for anything special. Bandera Mexicana came with a chicken enchilada and chicken chimichanga but the enchilada was *supposed* to be beef. Waiter did not care. Will we come back? No. Will we remember this meal? Again, no. If you want mediocre, unmentionable Mexican food, come here. read more

Last minute decision to eat here. We were in town for the BBQ/Bluegrass festival (which as it turns out was last weekend LoL!) and a local recommended this Mexican restaurant. Stopped here for lunch. Lunch specials run until 3 pm. Fiautas Mexicanas were delicious. Hot and tasty, one chicken and one shredded beef, with rice and beans. My wife's steak fajitas were also very good. Very generous portions. Service was prompt and friendly. Cervesa nice and cold. Great value for the money. Would definitely recommend. read more

Since Camila's in Eureka is our go-to Mexican restaurant, I expected the same excellent food at the new Pacific location, and I was not disappointed. There are so many menu options that I love, depending on my mood. On this visit, I decided on the Burrito Mayan, which has three different meats in it. So good! The space is beautiful. It's in an old brick movie theater, and it's just a pleasant atmosphere. read more

Big disappointment. Food was very bland and not very hot in temperature. Salsa tasted like tomatoes from a can. Rice was like white rice with veggies, no hint of spanish flavor. Chicken enchilada was dry at sauce was sparse and too sweet. Best part of meal was the chips. On a scale of 1-10, I give a 3. I will not go back. read more

First visit - very good experience ! Great food , good service, cold beer , nice atmosphere .. what else could we ask for? We will be back! read more

The guacamole and salsa were amazing! The service was not intrusive and there was plenty of food to eat. Did I mention the guacamole and salsa were amazing? It was fun to sit in the old theater again, and it brought back memories of when I was a child going to the movies with my family. I saw the first Star Wars movie there! Check it out! read more

The inside of this historic building is well done. The exposed wood in the ceiling is interesting. Glad they put effort into rehabbing the space. Service was good and the food was okay as well. The pork in my burrito was excellent. My wife and my daughter had nachos and both enjoyed them. There was something slightly off putting to me, though, with the taste of the cheese. read more

The food, the service and the price were well above our expectations. We came from Chicago area and we're totally enjoyed our visit to the restaurant. read more

I love the repurpose, but noise travels a lot in this old building. Service was fine. Main course (Pollo Feliz) was ok, but the first thing that has to be right is the chips and salsa and this alone will probably keep me from going back frequently. Cold chips out of a bag and bland salsa. Update: Tried again here a few months later and I'm adding a star back! The salsa was fire! read more

We have been loyal customers at the Eureka location for years, and have to say that the Pacific location offers an amazing ambiance as well as a few different menu options that we loved! The cheese dip and entrees were per usual excellent, and the margaritas were some of the best we've had. Although I think it's not on the menu yet, we were treated to a flight of margs which included watermelon, guava, hibiscus and pineapple. Let's just say that they were all refreshing; not too sour and not too sweet. The pineapple is my new favorite, while the hibiscus was a close second. read more

Cinco estrellas. What can I say... it was my first time at Camila's and it was the best Mexican food I've had in my life. The owner, Alex, stopped by our table to say hi and his wife greeted us at the entrance - they were both so friendly and welcoming despite the restaurant being absolutely hectic on this friday night. We started with chips and salsa - a standard for mexican restaurants but dios mío these were stand-out in comparison to other places in town (*cough* El Agave *cough*) warm and flaky with the perfect crunch, and the fresh salsa was just the cherry on top. Tasty with a slight kick, and in your personal cup - I love a socially distanced salsa. I haven't even mentioned the Margarita Tower, which was 120 oz of the most delicious (and POTENT) margarita, with dehydrated strawberries plus a sugar+salt rimmed glass to top it all off. That was enough to fill SIXTEEN glasses of that stuff. And for the price? Unreal. Unfortunately the water is near undrinkable so all I had for hydration was strawberry lime margarita - I had six cups myself and it was so good I had to taste it twice! Jajaja This is getting long so let me sum up the rest. Primero, GET THE QUESO FUNDIDO. A heap of chorizo and the meltiest sea of cheese. Segundo, I had the Molcajete, which was bursting with flavor and had not one, not two, but FIVE slabs of chicken and steak seasoned to perfection and bordered by a wall of sauteed green peppers which were just to die for. Tercero, everyone in my group scarfed down their meals and praised the quality of the food and generous portion sizes given the very affordable prices. Finalmente, you NEED to come here. They have a commitment to quality and attention to detail that you just can't find anywhere else. The interior is spacious and cozy, our waitress was attentive and made adjustments for my shellfish allergy, and the owner is an absolute hoot. I wish the best to this place and the people giving it life, please come here and support this establishment. read more

This was my second time staying in Pacific and to eat at Camilla's. I struggle to see how they have so many 5 star reviews. Located in an old theater it is clean and neat but feel they failed to capture the potential of the opportunity. A bit sterile overall without an identity. Greeted right away then had to wait for my server. 4 different people walked by without looking at me or any sense of recognition. One finally came back and brought chips and salsa, then after waiting and being passed by several more times my order was finally taken. Probably not as long as it sounds but was frustrated at the lack of communication and basic service skills when the place was not busy. After getting my order my server never came back until another server told him my empty drink was on the corner of the table. No one ever asked how my meal was or if I needed anything else. Staff was friendly and tried, it was just like they had never been taught what to do and or managed to customer expectations. Chips were excellent with a nice salsa, good flavor and consistency. Ordered the Mayan Burrito based on another Yelp review. The beef over powered the other two meats and there was not enough of the queso and enchilada sauce to add flavor. Not sure why but the salad on top actually had a salad dressing added, this seemed out of place to me and the tartness of it took away from the sauces compounding the flavor issue. Rice okay, beans were a bit heavy (maybe overcooked) and the corn bread type third side was a treat. Everything was okay, just nothing to make me want to come back after two similar experiences... read more

My wife and I stopped in for lunch at Camila's Tex-Mex Restaurant in downtown Pacific, MO My wife likes queso and chips for a meal with a side of Mexican rice. This rice is different not orange but very flavorful. I had a # 6 lunch. This is a large burrito, filled with beef covered with a creamy queso sauce. It's served with a side of rice mixed with corn and refried beans which are staples of most Mexican cuisine. A basket of tortilla chips comes early on and comes with a flask of salsa and two small bowls. It was a satisfying and flavorful meal. We both enjoyed it. We will be back! We especially liked the clean just renovated building with tasteful decorations. Worth a visit. read more

I am happy to report that the bad experience I had last time appears to have been a fluke. I returned to Camila's with an open mind and everything they put on the table was amazing. The cold beer and above par fare I expected was back on the menu. The restaurant makes its home in the old Royal Theatre, a single screen movie house until the 1990s. Camila's has done a great job of preserving some of the original lights fixtures, stained glass, and other theater-related antiquities. I saw Star Wars in the same building as a wide-eyed 9-year-old lad, back in 1977. read more

Very attractive and busy place. Menu is very complete with many choices. Food is top notch and service is great. My only problem is when it is busy, it is also very noisy. Hard to hold conversation. Could use some noise dampening. But even that doesn't keep me from coming back. Food, service,variety and cleanliness are super. read more

This looks like a really good place but our experience was terrible. I ordered unsweet tea and noticed no sweetener was on the table. By the time the waiter returned, I had drank half the glass, and I don't like unsweet tea. My wife ordered fajitas and I had a pick three plate. Her beans, rice, and lettuce etc plate arrived with my meal. Attached below are photos of our plates when her fajita plate finally arrived. My wife is Ukrainian and never eats refried beans, but she finished them off before the sizzling plate even arrived. We weren't starving either as we had queso and the shrimp soup. Needless to say we had to box the fajitas since we were both full. No idea whose fault it was, but the waiter did say never to put sweetener on the table unless requested. read more

In town for a dog show at purina farms and found this newly opened restaurant It was a fresh and clean food A great place to eat read more

Service was excellent; however, the food was bland. The only flavor came from the salsa for the chips I added to the enchiladas. They charged for dressing for the taco salad as it is not served with one. Only 50 cents, but just kind of petty and the swipe fee on the credit card will keep me from returning. read more

Bad service and mid food. This restaurant started off good but it's going down hill. They can do better.

4.0 is pushing it with the rating.. very weird vibes as soon as I walk in .. a lot of blank looks.. a lot of waiters laughing while speaking in Spanish while walking by.. Ratings should be almost 2.8 .. I had steak/shrimp/chicken over rice with vegetables .. could be way better with more taste in my opinion others might differ.. read more

The food was excellent and plentiful. The wait staff was efficient and our food and drinks came quickly. Amazingly quick! The only drawback was the atmosphere. Pretty plain and stark so if that matters to you it might not be a good fit. I'd give it a : 5 for food 5 for service 3 for atmosphere read more

Ordered chicken street tacos PLAIN the tacos were cold with a chipotle sauce on them that was even colder! The waiter (who was very hard to understand) was very attentive to refill drinks, chips and sauce that was tasty. The environment was sterile and the food was nothing to write home about or mention. I don't recommend eating there. read more

Let's start at the beginning of our experience. The chips & salsa was very good. We ordered a half pitcher of margaritas which was delicious. Service was great! Our food came out promptly after ordering (we waited to order our main course while we visited with another couple we met there). The entrees were great. We have patronized Camilla's at the Royal multiple times and have been extremely happy with everything each visit. We highly recommend them! read more

Beautiful, old theater turned into a Mexican restaurant. Service was excellent! Very attentive, friendly, right there when needed. Food was fantastic! So many amazing options on the menu it was difficult to decide. Food was hot, flavorful, absolutely delicious! And the masita, which one rarely sees on a menu, was so incredible! Definitely recommend. read more

My husband and I have been a big fan of the location in Eureka. We were so happy Camila's came to our hometown of Pacific.

Way to go Alex and family. read more
