"Had multiple steak tacos and none matched these! Especially as could order with flour tortillas. Simple but so GOOD!!. The mixed ceviche was so flavorful as well. Was also quieter without music blasting which we were looking for."

"This is one of the oldest bars in Playa and it is perhaps my favorite place. Very professional but fun staff. The drinks are great amd the food is excellent. The original "swing bar" as it has become to be known. You'll have fun here meeting new people from all over the world. Highly recommend as a stop when you're in playa."

"Wonderful ribs!! The service was top and the ribs even better. It's a place you can enjoy people watching and the food was truly brilliant. On the day I chose their ribs without sauce and they did not disappoint. Drop off the bone tender and beautiful tasting, making sure my decision to not have BBQ sauce was well worth it."

"This Place was really delicious! The food was hot and so yummy! The portions are very large and great for sharing! We had Erick as a waiter and he was fantastic at telling us good things to order and also about some cool local places. The atmosphere at Pez Vela was great as well! Mariachi Band, screens with sports on them, outdoor indoor environment with a cool bar that has swings as seats. Definitely a place to re-visit!"
