Puesto Los Olivos Irvine

Taco Tuesday is 1/2 price tacos which is a good deal. The chicken Al pastor, carnitas and tamarind shrimp tacos were really good. Drink prices are high.

Anthony rules 🤘

Wife enjoyed the gluten free flautas very tasty. Tacos always a solid choices. Chips and salsa with guacamole
Goes great with a cold beer and margaritas.

Very pretty and nicely styled restaurant upon arrival on a Tuesday evening. Hostess desk was friendly. We sat at the bar to avoid the long wait for a table. We were given menus, discussed what tacos we wanted (1/2 off on Tuesdays). We ordered 2 tacos each (quesabirria, Baja fish, and shrimp) and a bowl of beans and rice. After being ignored for some time, we caught the eye of a bartender and asked if we could place an order. We did and waited about 30 min for our small taco order to arrive. The food finally came. Very SMALL tacos and unimpressive looking. Not very not hot either. The beans and rice were just thrown into a bowl. Everything tasted very mediocre and bland. We then had to track someone down again just to close out and be able to leave. We were there over an hour for an experience that should have taken 30 min tops. Terrible service, extremely overpriced food. Insanely overpriced cocktails as well. I didn’t bother ordering a $20 margarita. I can’t believe those tiny tacos are $12 normally! Total ripoff. I’ll stick to my favorite spot in my own neighborhood in Dana Point, where the tacos are huge, amazing and $3.50, and a margarita is $9.

What can I say about this place? It's only for adults. Not kid-friendly, and safety's not their top priority. Someone broke some class on the main floor. The establishments basically didn't have good safety measures when it came to. I had to pick my child up and walked through the mess cause I did not want his feet to get cut which we had flip-flops so this place is not a flip-flop friendly place. The night that we came was a Tuesday night which was Taco night. One of the best tacos is the mushroom tacos, but be prepared for a wait (and maybe bring some Tums). Happy hour's the way to go - tacos are half off, and the crowd's usually having a good time. Stick to beer, skip the old-fashioned for $17 glass that is as large as the ice that they provide in it. I would recommend coming here for the beer that's on tap but for anything else, I will not be coming here again.

It was good. Something different.. I ordered a salad bowl it was okay. My husband go ceviche it was a bit sweet so that was kinda weird. The taquitos de papa were good. I got to drink a horchata spiked. The vodka was very strong I can nearly taste the horchata. But the atmosphere was good.

Racist experience here. I went here WITH a reservation and multiple walk ins were able to be seated before my group of 4. They were also all white, and my family and I are Mexican. I've seen similar reviews on here with a close experiences. I wouldn't recommend going here if you are a POC.
