Had the carne asada tacos and they were good. A little more cilanto would have made them better. Guac needed a little more spice. Need a better selection of salsas.

Everything is freshly made. Tortillas are made right there. Guacamole is excellent. The service is also excellent! My husband were walking around and found Puesto and were very pleased. Very satisfied with our experience and we would come back again!

It's like no other Mexican restaurant you will find. In a supreme class of its own. For example, how many restaurants offer salad options that include mint, hearts of palm, cilantro and some ingredients that I don't know the name for, And now they have a new shrimp salad that is my favorite meal. Their sauces are so unique and... More

Stopped by for lunch after reading the reviews. It stacks up to the good impression we had from the reviews. We had the carnitas, carne asada tacos and the carne asada bowl. Everything was grilled to order, very tasty. I've never seen were the shredded cheese is first placed on the hot grill, as the bottom gets a nice crispy... More

We ate at Puesto last night we found it and decided to go there base on the many positive TripAdvisor reviews. The food was really good and very fresh, not your typical greasy tacos covered in canned salsa and processed cheese. The service was good and they have a fun atmosphere. We will definetly visit there again on our next... More

A little unusual with great tasting food. Grab a quick bite during lunch, or a late snack. The flavors are different than most mexican restaurants.

we were running late & stopped in for tacos prior to a musical event. Menu was a bit confusing, but food delicious ( & messy) but an unexpected dinner for LJ.

My partner and I ate at Puesto's today after reading great reviews on trip advisor and left feeling very unsatisfied. After travelling through Mexico we were really looking forward to enjoying great Mexican food again. The tacos were just okay and for almost $10 for three tacos, we found the place to be extremely overpriced. We do not recommend and... More

We read about Puesto on tripadvisor prior to our vacation and tried the restaurant based on the reviews. We were not disappointed! All the produce is fresh and the coolers are clear so they can display the freshness. Everything, including the tortillas, are made fresh in front of you. It was delicious! You can even order alcoholic drinks and eat... More
