Chef Bret Thompson and Lucy Thompson Ramirez, together created Pez Cantina as a sustainable Coastal Mexican-style restaurant and bar serving the freshest sea-to-land dishes in an oasis-type atmosphere. Lucy, who's family comes from Guanajuato Mexico, grew up with food and cooking as an integral part of the Ramirez household. Her dream for Pez Cantina was to bring the spirit and soul of her Mexican culinary roots to a restaurant using her husband’s skills as a professional chef.
“This place was a last minute find and so good! The taquitos were the best I have had. Also, the chips with the salsa flight was fun and refreshing. The atmosphere outside with the plants and landscaping made you almost forget you are down town. The server was kind, friendly, and met all needs immediately.”
“We enjoyed hosting a private party. Lucy and her staff are A+. The food and drinks were delicious. It’s a great place for date night, family dinner or a private party. Thank you Pez Cantina!”
“Came here for a business lunch and had exceptional service while sitting on the outdoor patio. The carne asada tacos were good, the guacamole and chips were great, and it’s a nice little Los Angeles view in the financial district. Would recommend and go again for the business lunch. Only thing I’d change is adding printed menus. Scanning the QR code isn’t enjoyable to most people. Very nice overall experience at apex Cantina”
“This place has very delicious food and drinks. I like how much flavor everything has. The drinks are very upscale. The only complaint is some of the items are a bit small in portion for the price point. The staff is very friendly, I recently had an incident where I got a chip in my eye (yes a chip) and someone from the kitchen staff came to help me and checked in on me. I was very grateful for his assistance. So far everything I have tried has been on point, shall return.”
“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.”
