"The ingredient that mainlines this pot de creme straight into your brain's pleasure center is the olive oil skimming across the top that drips down into every spoonful. One word: Divine."

"Hand-pressed flower meringue over a guava cheesecake. It reminded me of the semisweet desserts from Japan. Just an awesome balance of flavors to wow you without overpowering you."

"This is a sweet corn ice cream taco. No matter how full you are after the savories at Pez, everyone has room for this delightful bite."

"Perfect fresh and flaky snapper, without the fishy taste. Just the right amount of seasoning to bring the natural flavors to the forefront; but still strong enough to pair well with all their salsas."

"Pez nails this octopus taco! Perfect al dente toughness and minimal seasoning: just the char from the grill and a little oil drizzle over the chopped pieces. Delicious!"

"What separates Pez's fish taco from the rest is the corn tortilla: perfect consistency and temperature. Close your eyes and you're on a beach in Baja!"
