      Puesto is a fantastic spot to check out if you're in the mood for some great vibes, tasty drinks, and modern Mexican food. The atmosphere is super cool and trendy, making it a fun place to hang out.

      I've been here a few times, and each visit has been a winner. The food is consistently delicious, and the creative spin on Mexican classics is always a treat. It's a bit pricier than your usual Mexican spot, but the unique dishes and lively setting make it worth it.

      The service here is top-notch, always attentive and friendly, adding to the overall great experience.

      If you're looking to enjoy some contemporary Mexican flavors in a vibrant setting, Puesto is definitely worth a visit!

      I've always wanted to try this spot as I drove by it a few times when I was in the area. The classic guac tasted so fresh. I got both the Short Rib Quesaburria & Filet Mignon taco. The tacos were a little too salty for me, but tasted fine. Chips were crunchy, a little too salty and the salsa was tasty and not too spicy. The interior was super classy and loved the plating.

      Staff was friendly, plenty of parking in the plaza.

      Heard this place was really good. Came here with some friends for a date night. The place is nice inside and had a great looking bar. Our server was OK, but I think he was serving too many tables. Made the service a little slow. Me and my wife tried almost every taco on the menu and they were all really good. Had the Cadillac Margarita (definitely a must try) and mango margarita which was OK. After dinner which was just after 9 o'clock the bar was already closed on a Friday night. Definitely will come back for the food but might make reservations earlier.

      This restaurant has a very chill vibe from the moment you walk into the door from the glowing bar to the seat surrounded by greenery. Service here was excellent for our server Zayra was very sweet and attentive to us during our whole time there. Food had nice presentation but flavors for short rib birria were different when compared to a traditional taqueria that serves it with consommé on the side. Tortillas were nice and hot wrapped in tin foil. Beef was spicier than I expected but it was a very small portion for the price. The enchiladas tasted like a mole sauce with a drizzle of creamy cheese on top. I wish there were more filling inside it. My one year old enjoyed the kids menu with flour tacos so thats always a plus.

      I would come back for their cocktails because they looked amazing on the other tables however I would have to say the food could be a bit more flavorful as the dishes take on a modern interpretation of their origin.

      Parking is available in front of the restaurant next to Whole foods which has lots of spaces but fills up quickly so get there early. Definitely worth trying if you in the area with a small group of friends to split the tab.

      I visited this restaurant on a Saturday night at 8pm with a friend. Surprisingly, it wasn't busy, and we were seated immediately. Ambiance was great.

      For starters, we enjoyed the passion fruit and mango shrimp ceviche, followed by the short rib enchilada and a selection of three tacos (al pastor, baja fish, and filet mignon). Everything was delicious, but my favorite was the baja fish taco, while my friend loved the ceviche.

      I've had this restaurant saved for a while, and I'm thrilled that I finally had the opportunity to try it out!

      We came here for an early weekday dinner and ordered Nogada guacamole, some fish tacos, and swordfish tacos. We had the puesto perfect and guava margaritas. Everything was great. Mike and Chelsie provided fantastic service.
