Mexico City born. California raised. Puesto brings the vibrant soul of CDMX through a Southern California lens-bold, modern Mexican with an edge. Seasonal menus, creative takes, and the best ingredients in the hands of better chefs. Every tortilla starts with organic blue corn, made in-house like it's been since 1200 BC. Puesto is family-founded by the Adler and Lombrozo brothers, first-gen Mexican Americans raised on tamales and tradition. It's a love letter to the flavors they grew up with, reimagined with Mexico City energy and SoCal spirit. Made by food people. For food people.

    We sat in the Captain's Quarters for my girlfriend's birthday and it was a perfect experience. Our bartenders were charming, witty, and really helped make the night. We only really saw the main area on the way in and out, but the overall aesthetic is great and doesn't feel crowded. The Captain's Quarters was a more quiet, intimate setting with a thematically gloomy (in a good way) feel. The drinks were great and the food was outstanding. We went with the karage (my favorite), drunken noodles, and the garlic shrimp and I'd recommend each of them. Finally the ube cheesecake was perfection. I would say that this place has mastered their craft and I look forward to coming again and again.
