Taco tasted delicious everything homemade. I liked that I was able to order a beer with it. Lady up front was super nice, great place.
Sept 2025 update: Finally back in the neighborhood. Don Pez still here and still incredible food, drink, and service. Great breeze coming through as well, highly recommend

The Al Pastor tacos were some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Nadia and her staff were incredibly hospitable and the outdoor patio is a cute welcoming place to eat some really good food.

Yum, yum, yum! I finally went to Don Pez with a friend who wouldn’t stop raving about their tacos—and wow, they did not disappoint. I was expecting just a typical fish taco, but the reality? Hands down the best fish tacos I’ve ever had!
The variety of options is impressive, the hospitality is warm, and the ambiance is charming—plus, they have adorable outdoor seating.
Now, back to the tacos: the mahi tacos, coconut shrimp tacos, and swordfish tacos are absolute must-tries. Fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying. Highly recommend! 🌮✨

Absolutely fantastic fish tacos served by Mr fish himself Julian and his wife. Come for the fish stay for the tartar sauce and pickled habanero peppers.

I love this spot!! One of my favorites. Tacos are super tasty, and the drinks are delicious! The owner is such a great guy. The staff is super friendly and attentive. They always make sure we are taken care of every time. Highly recommend the halibut & lobster tacos 😋 The huckleberry lemonade & fresh margaritas are top tier!

Stopped in with my mom and we're so glad we did! The tacos were delicious and im from southern California where fish tacos are very common, I was impressed to say the least. We also both had watermelon margaritas w chamoy, reminded me of Mexican candy I used to get growing up near Mexico. Nadia was awesome and even gave us a coconut shrimp slider on the house. Great place 👌 definitely recommend!
Walking down armitage on this beautiful Chicago day. Came across this hidden gem. Ice cold beer and fresh crispy fish taco. Had my name all over it. Yum yum

Size to price just isn’t worth it and the “authentic”’word etched on the glass outside is not accurate. Fish tacos had chunky pickled cucumber pieces which just didn’t work and certainly no Baja taco I’ve ever had, growing up in San Diego and in Baja were fried or topped as such. Just a miss. All the cut work was too big and needs to be pared down to complement such tiny tacos. We tried four different tacos, the steak was fatty, the soy meat was crumbly, and the shrimp too much mayo. Just odd all around. Paloma and aqua Fresca were delicious and service was good. But can’t recommend it for the price. Hard to accept $85 and still hungry and unsatisfied.
