The cocktails were excellent!! I also loved the chicharrones!!! The food was good, but needed more seasoning. Please add more salt, garlic, and spices and the food will be excellent!!

It used to be a lot better. I'm not sure what they did? But the drinks weren't very good, the food was mediocre and the menu was extremely limited. Everything we ordered looked like it was already prepared when they brought it out. The lobster tacos and the guacamole especially were noticeable as being prepared early. For the price point, it was disappointing. It's a shame because the ambiance is very nice and I think the servers are trying the best they can. Was there a change of ownership or management that decided to skimp on the food? 🤷♂️

Always love coming to Puesto! Kyle was our server and he was the nicest and most patient. Overall good experience.
Rachel
Such an excellent place for Mexican food! The food is a bit more upscale than other places, and the atmosphere is terrific. Also, a wide array of outstanding gluten free options, well-marked on the menu, made it especially great for us!

We went to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday and everything was great from the food to the service.

We ate at Puesto in February 2025 which was a fantastic evening. Went back last night (10/25/25) and it was the complete opposite. First off the service was terrible. I'm not sure if our server was new or just bad, but he got many things incorrect and did not refill beverages. When the check came we had to ask him to remove items that were wrong, double charged, and things we ordered but did not receive. Very unhappy with the service. Additionally, the food was lack luster compared to previous dining. The menu has been changed and focuses more on tacos and bowls than previous plates like carne asada and mole. And the amount of food you get for the cost just didn't worth it in our opinion. It's really too bad because we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit.

The food portions were a little insane. I wouldn't come here if youre starving that's for sure. I got the enchilada plate and it came with 2 .. for $30 that's crazy. The drinks were decent .
Nikki
Great food, good ambience. The bartender was also our server, he was excellent very attentive! We will be back!
Tammy
Rude does not begin to describe the service. The service could not have been worse. The wait staff was downright hostile. They would not accommodate our needs for splitting the check. They double changed us for our meal. Our food was cold. We did not get water refilled despite asking. Just awful!

Excellent as always...quality dishes as well as great service...highly recommend for any occasion (even a kids menu) Puesto is top notch as good as any Mexican style restaurant...but better!
Love Puesto. A few of the tacos were a little dryer than previous visits (Short Rib, Filet, Pork Carnitas), but overall still really good. The Esquite corn is wonderful, margaritas were excellent as always, and the service came with a smile and pleasant attitude. 1/2 off Taco Tuesday helps as well!
Rhonda
The food is blah and way over rated. 2 cocktails, 2 appetizers and 4 tacos were way over priced. The food and drinks at Palmilla Cocina (Newport) and South of Nicks (Laguna) far exceed this restaurant.

This little place is so cute. I loved the little market side area. I got some sunglasses with a free case. I enjoyed stopping by here in the mornings while on our vacation. It was right outside of The Westin. The coffee was perfect. The staff were kind. I enjoyed banana nut muffins in the mornings & my teen tried a cake pop. I like the outdoor sitting area as well. I wish they had some flavored creamer at the coffee bar area. Otherwise, 10/10.

Wildly overpriced. Decent pastry + coffee + convenience shop vibe. But they do things like they don’t post the price on a bottle of Coke, to find out the price they have to look it up, which takes a minute and turns out they’re selling it for $4.25, which is quite a bit more than if you walked down the block to the Walgreens. Asked why they don’t post prices? “We’ve just never done it”.
