Still just as tasty as downtown LA location ?

Pretty good options. We were there during the special but they guy didn't give the 20% discount. Food was pretty good. Like that there's open tables and other vendors to try so no shortage of food. Casual ambiance, great for groups.

I love the agua frescas but every time I try to come they're closed :( I wish they would expand their hours!

We were excited to check out BLVD market. We decided to try Pez Cantina. We ordered the fish tacos, shrimp tacos and a ceviche tostada. The food looked amazing. Unfortunately, our fish tacos and ceviche were under seasoned. The fish taco were fried well and the tortillas are hand made. But no taste. Not even with the salsa. The shrimp taco on the other hand were way over seasoned. Seemed like they were rolled in pepper. The ceviche had very little fish and absolutely no salt. The food came out quickly and was fresh. We really liked the patio ambiance. Plenty of seating and shade.

We just ordered 2 agua fresca's since we didn't want soda. 1 agua de Jamaica which was watered down and not sweet at all. 1 agua de fresa, sour and watered down as well. I've never had there food and not sure if I will.

I love that the Blvd market is so close to my house but I always forget to go there sometimes. I also noticed that Pez Cantina, which I havent been to yet, had posted a picture of posole verde and I honestly thought it was just tacos and burritos there so I decided to bring my Uncle to come and try for the first time. The posole verde was perfectly seasoned, I'm not a fan of really spicy posole broth so this was great. I also ordered the cauliflower tacos, I'm not vegan or anything but I do like trying those vegetable instead of meat dishes. And my Uncle got the shrimp tacos. The sauces on top looked very interesting because of their different colors and such, but after trying everything I was very impressed. I forgot to take still pics and had to use the ones from my instagram. For working with such a small space, there sure was alot on their menu! Will definitely come back again!

One of the few restaurant options at BLVD MKT- an outdoor food hall in Montebello. The food here is consistently satisfying, and the tastiest when compared to other spots here. I'm a fan of their pescador burrito that has shrimp, rice, black beans, cabbage, and chipotle aioli. The agua frescas are refreshing and a perfect pairing for the food. The customer service has been disappointing every visit. The staff working the register and taking orders seems disinterested. Be sure to ask staff to repeat your order back so you don't end up with wrong items (this has happened multiple times- probably because staff seems uninterested). Pro tip: Sub out black beans with chorizo refried beans for a tastier burrito!

I tried this place for the first time and I was very impressed with how flavorful the pozole and chilaquiles were! I came here on a Sunday and the ambiance was fun and relaxing. I will definitely be back to try the other things on the menu.

When I heard about Posole Verde I was skeptical. I was wrong to doubt. The Pozole Verde is a spicy green love letter to Mexican food. It delights you, challenges you, comforts you, and leaves you satisfied like a child who is hugging his grandma. It's am wonderfully tasty dance between green chili, hominy, and chicken. It's your new favorite soup dish, you just don't know it yet. Oh! I almost forgot the tortilla chips (Normally chips don't get their own paragraph, but Pez Cantina isn't the norm.) The tortilla chips here are perfectly made in house, on the spot, the taste and freshness is undeniable. The salt limon spices they flavor it make these chips stand out. They compliment the Posole Verde perfectly. I haven't tried anything else on the menu yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Make the trip to Montebello. Come enjoy yourself. You deserve it.

Best fish tacos, handmade tortillas, amazing chipotle aioli and salsa! Oh and their radishes are slivered thin, the best - highly recommend!

again, shout out to the yelp homie ashley s for introducing me. I ate here after having 3 tacos from los taquero mucho next door. oh man. a little bit of a mistake. I decided to get a spicy ahi tuna tostada. had avocado crema, tomato, sesame, and crispy shallots. It was a heaping pile of fish with a tostada on top? or i guess you could say it was an inverted tostada. Man. I'm usually not a fan of tuna but this was so good. The fish was mixed in a spicy, sweet, smokey sauce. The radish and shallots provided extra crunch. I definitely want to come back and try everything else on their menu. It's $8 for one thing which... is a little pricy. I'd prob need two or three of those to fill me up which... $24. kinda pricy for one meal but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Since I only got one thing, not much else to say... Staff was alright. Not as friendly as the staff at the taco place. Prob were having a bad day... they opened a little later than everyone else.

Awesome shrimp burrito

Very nice open air dining, good ambiance with upbeat music. The food is great and very tasty. Love, love the Spicy Ahi Tuna tostada. Will be returning for more menu items.

Over priced and low quality seafood mariscos. This dining experience could be at a food truck Street side much better and much cheaper. Mosquitoes have their way with you at this location as well. The service was slow and portions were small. Never again!
