Pricey tacos. Incredibly delicious. Chips and salsa are next level. Not cheap.

One of my sons decided to propose to his girlfriend here, where they had their first date. It was AMAZING!

The food here is very delicious and the tacos are so filling and flavorful. I went for taco Tuesday since it was recommended to me by some friends and I would highly recommend. However the service at the host stand was a little uncomfortable. We were asked if we had a reservation and we didn’t, we were just doing a walk in. I believe it might’ve been a manager who then walked up to the host and kept asking him if we had a reservation and we once again said no and she kept saying how there was no room whatsoever but then all of a sudden there was a table? The thing is, the restaurant was pretty empty when we walked in. I understand having reservations for later times specially for taco Tuesday but she seemed irritated that we didn’t have a reservation. I was not aware that a reservation was needed for taco Tuesday and it didn’t say that on the website (from what I saw). It just seemed like it was a bother that we didn’t have a reservation and honestly the vibes were just not great. Our server however was very attentive and friendly which helped cut the tension in the restaurant. At least I know that for next time a reservation is needed.

Chicken tinga tacos, filet mignon, and crispy shrimp tacos. There is a God in heaven, and in that heaven there exists these tacos!

Honestly was very disappointed. The menu is labeled with MANY gluten free items and the are NOT gluten free. Majority of the menu could not be made gluten free as the serve (thankfully) told us the kitchen cross contaminates with gluten, their fryer is the same and the SAUCES they use for the tacos have gluten in it. I normally don't mind not large gluten free options i make it work. But then do not falsely advertise on the menu they are Gluten Free
Food was great. Portions were small (think children's menu); waiter was pleasant: took a long time to get food to our table (over 1/2 hour); waiter came back occasionally to check on our table. Great ambiance but overpriced for the quality and quantity of food. Spent about $100 for 3 people (no drinks) and left hungry .
Service was very slow. We waited a long time to get our order in and the people who sat next to us got seated maybe 15 minutes after us and finished their dinner before us.
The tacos were good but I would not order the beans or rice again. Very average. When our tacos were delivered we did not know which taco was what, and neither did the server. The server had to cut into my wife's food (with her permission) to try and figure out the type of tacos that were plated in front of her at the table. The drinks were ok. We were seated on time so that is a plus. I did not appreciate the 4% mandatory fee. Rather than a fee, prices should be adjusted to account for that 4% otherwise the posted food prices are disingenuous. I have read the fee is to provide medical insurance for employees. That is the price of doing business and I do not want to be nickel and dimed for all expenses the employer must pay. Overall the dining experience was a positive one. The tacos were good and the staff were pleasant. However, given the headache in finding parking when I'm in the mood for Mexican food I will go to Javier's.
Missing order, two checkout machine not working. Long wait, took the waitress 20 minutes to come to our table to order. Waitress gave us side eyes when we don't want to add the missing order due to long wait. The staff that are distributing food has no idea which table the food is belong to, bad service.
Ate here on my birthday and it was great! Our server was a little shy and timid, but the tacos were amazing! The Al pastor chicken taco was my favorite. Will definitely be eating here again when I go back down.

No point there given for this and 12 other reservations book through OpenTable. Multiple emails to both companies have not resolved it. No effort was made on Puestos part and OpenTable also have not awarded any point's to my Puesto rewards. Buyer beware in those rewards point scams.
The restaurant had their heater pumping. Which made for an uncomfortable experience. However the food the service is great. The drinks are fantastic. Definitely going back.
It was my second time dining here. Food and service are decent. Ambience is on the casual side and prices are a little too high for Mexican food. Overall, I recommend this restaurant for any casual dining.
Like always puesto had been amazing. The food was delicious and the drinks were beyond yummy 10/10!
Excellent food, service and drinks! We tried the chef specialty salsas to start with and right away knew the food would be great! We were right! Everything was so delicious. Our waitress was so nice and helpful with what we needed! We will be back for sure!!!
