Pez Cantina

The good: the food was amazing, the drinks were strong, and the waitstaff were attentive, efficient, and courteous. We ordered the fish and shrimp tacos, margaritas, and the Moscow mule which were all perfect. Chips and guacamole were on point as well. The mediocre: parking is not great. We just parked randomly at the J2 parking structure for the City National Plaza based on a few reviews I read. This is NOT the garage in which the restaurant provides validation. Proceed to the garage right next to the restaurant on 400 South Hope Street. Our fault but still an annoying 7 minute roundabout walk. The bad: there was some event going on next to us outside that was cordoned off by these flimsy folding wall panels. Apparently, the winds were blessed by the Greek gods themselves and blew one of the walls down on a table next to us, shattering the glass cups and sending a torrent of shards directly onto us. Luckily, no one was hurt, and the waitstaff immediately rushed into action to clean up

The wait staff was fantastic. The patio was warm and cozy. I enjoyed my drink and the chips and salsa were a party in my mouth! However, this place is overpriced. six dollars per taco wasn’t it. Especially when the taco was small, the meat was basic and only had onions and one dry lime to help it out.. if I come bad I’d get something else.

What a great restaurant. I have gone to downtown LA for dinner quite a few times, but never been in a restaurant with such great music. Food was excellent, an exquisite Mexican cuisine with fresh ingredients make the flavors a delightful experience. When you can not stop eating the chips because the chili powder is so delicious, you know you are in the right Mexican restaurant.The outdoor area is great. This place is excellent for a couple's dinner and/or a fun time with friends. Do not forget to get your parking validation!
