This lively and highly seasoned Mexicanstyle surf and turf restaurant boasts a prime location with a patio that serves up epic views of Downtown's most prestigious skyscrapers.

DT Weekly grabbed our amigos and amigas, and headed to Pez Cantina for a mouthwatering culinary experience that began with signature cocktails from the one of our favorite bars.

As we sipped in the sunshine over light conversation, servers began bringing out dishes one by one. The passion of Chef Bret Thompson and wife Lucy Ramirez unriveled passion and dedication to our happiness was revealed with each bite.

Inspired by their repeated travels to Loreto, Baja California, their vision was to bring the spirit and soul of the region and influence of Lucy’s Mexican culinary roots to a restaurant using Bret’s refined skills as a seasoned professional chef. Mission accomplished.

Together, they’ve established PEZ CANTINA as the city’s go-to for a delightful blend of Mexican flavor and culinary creativity.

The generous portions kept coming in the form of dishes like the Red Argentine Shrimp Aguachile with lime, serrano, cucumber, avocado, apple, crispy shallots.

The Spicy Tuna Tostada, we could probably solely exist on, came with piled high seared tuna, avocado crema, chile oil, crispy shallots and sesame.

For a healthy dose of green leafy veggies: the the Pez Mex Salad with Romaine, arugula, corn, black beans, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, pepitas, tortilla strips, queso fresco, & chipotle-lime vinaigrette to share.

The piece de resistance. A scolding hot bubbling pot of delicious righteousness called the Molcajete Surf and Turf. This dish was so unique served in a Mexican cauldron filled with seasoned filet mignon, grilled shrimp, carnitas al pastor, pepper jack cheese, smoky chorizo broth, and a sunny-side-up egg. No better reason for Pez to make the list.
