P1 Nogada Guacamole Avocado sauce with corn chips. It's hard to make this kind of food taste bad. P2 Potato Taquitos It tastes a bit like spring rolls. The sauce on the side dishes is slightly spicy. P3 Baja Fish Tacos It tastes good. The fish is very tender. P4 Filet Mignon Tacos It also tastes good. There is a big piece of beef in it, and you are basically full after eating it. P5 Vegan Mushroom Tacos It's average compared to the previous two tacos. P6 Watermelon Agua Fresca Watermelon juice drink. Refreshing taste.

Puesto absolutely delivers! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was spot-on--upscale and trendy with an almost Amazonian feel, lush and vibrant. The bar is stunning and sets the tone for a fun, elevated dining experience. We started with the chips & molcajete salsa and the classic guac--both super fresh and packed with flavor. Then came the passion fruit & mango shrimp ceviche and yellowfin tuna crudo... just wow. So refreshing, bright, and beautifully plated. The tamarindo shrimp tacos were a flavor bomb--sweet, tangy, and perfectly balanced. But what really made the night was the bartender. We sat at the bar and got completely spoiled with tequila tastings--he walked us through flavor profiles, suggested perfect pairings, and made us feel like VIPs. You can tell they take pride in the experience just as much as the food. Can't wait to come back--Puesto is a whole vibe.

Still great as usual. Tacos are fresh with heavy portions, chips and salsa are a must, and drinks are always top notch. Pricing is a bit on the higher end but we enjoyed every bit of our meal and they're very consistent. Worth the splurge when wanting a bit of an upscale experience. Service and ambiance are always great as well.

Amazing!!! Such a great experience today. Food was up to par. Guava margarita that Luis recommended was absolutely delicious. We started with the potato taquitos and I had the steak arrachera! The atmosphere was breath taking and our server Luis was super helpful. I will be back!

From the moment you step inside Puesto, you enter a space filled with warmth and bomb Mexican food. The blue corn handmade tortillas alone are worth the trip - their authentic texture and flavor provide the perfect foundation for the tacos. While prices are on the higher side, the quality of ingredients and preparation are totally worth the cost. Service was on point - attentive, friendly staff who made the experience even more chill. The entire team created a welcoming vibe. I'm already planning my return visit to try the flights and take advantage of their Taco Tuesday deal. This gem has earned a spot in my regular rotation whenever I'm in the area. If you're looking for Mexican cuisine that's elevated Puesto is a spot that's absolutely worth it
