" We decided to try Pez Cantina based on a friend's recommendation, and we were not disappointed! The chips and salsa were some of the best I've ever had. I particularly enjoyed the unique flavor of their salsa negra. The outdoor seating was lovely, providing a nice view of the city. Service was prompt and friendly, making our experience quite enjoyable. I’d highly recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pez Cantina exceeded my expectations for a casual Mexican dining spot. The ambience and the service were on-point. I tried the mole, which was nice but a touch too salty. The chips served with the guacamole were fresh, but the portion size felt a tad small for the price. The lively decor was charming; it just felt right for a group night out. Overall, I would recommend it but with a few notes on their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my lunch at Pez Cantina, but I wish the tacos were a bit larger for the price. I ordered the fish tacos and they were tasty, but it felt more like a snack than a meal. The environment was buzzing, which I loved, and the service was friendly. While everything else was good, I might explore other restaurants next time based on portion size. " (*Curated Review*)

" While Pez Cantina gets points for its lively atmosphere, I was left feeling a bit let down by the cuisine. My veggie tacos were modest and didn't showcase that authentic Mexican flair I was expecting. I've had better elsewhere, and for the price, I was hoping for more. The service was decent, but overall, I think there are better options around the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" This year, I chose Pez Cantina for my birthday dinner, and I was overjoyed with the outcome! Each dish was crafted beautifully, particularly the mole and fish tacos. I was amazed by the cocktail selection, too. The vibe was fun, especially since we sat outside under the lights. Perfect for a celebration. Couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pez Cantina is a breath of fresh air in downtown LA! The melodies of the live DJ and the low lighting added to the thoroughly enjoyable experience. I loved the fish tacos and the atmosphere felt unmistakably inviting. The staff were courteous and very friendly. Definitely a place you'll want to spend your happy hours! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pez Cantina has become one of our favorite spots! The moment we walked in, we were enfolded in a lively atmosphere that felt festive. However, while we enjoyed the flavors, I felt that the dishes don’t have as much depth or complexity as some other Mexican spots. Our server was attentive and truly polite, making our evening pleasant even with the minor critiques. Definitely worth trying! " (*Curated Review*)
