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 and replace everything on the table. However, this was a dangerous situation that could’ve been much, much worse.
Overall: the food and atmosphere were great, but I had to take away 2 stars for almost dying.

We stopped by for Saturday brunch. I had the burrito mojado with steak, and my wife and son shared the buttermilk chicken and waffles. The portions were huge. I will definitely stop by this place the next time I am in LA.

The hot salsa was one of the best salsas I have ever had. Great vegetarian options. The cauliflower tacos were delicious. Great place to sit out and dine.

Pez cantina saved the day on Valentine's weekend. We were really happy with the outcome.
We were skeptical to return Because of the fiasco from New years eve when they dropped the ball and the DJ forgot the countdown, they never gave us our champagne or dessert nonetheless, they came through this time around. They had last minute seats available for us and the food was great.

The food here is tasty and down-to-earth. If you want upper scale Mexican food in Bunker Hill that's not "fusion," "deconstructed," or otherwise pretentious, this is a great place.

Loved this place for outdoor dining for a birthday celebration! They had the heaters on and the patio had a fun atmosphere. Food was very good and the wait staff was very attentive.

Celebrating our Birthdays. We really enjoyed the ceviche, whole fish, NY steak, and Jamaica margaritas. Disappointed that the DJ didn't show up and clean up between dishes could have been better.

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!
