About this restaurant

Good for groups
Great for happy hour
Lively

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.

Raspberry drink on cocktail menu was ok kind of watered down. The food was ok use to be better with more options. The churros desert was really sad, only good thing was the ice cream.

The overall experience is genuinely so consistently excellent. Great, unique food, great service (Ricardo). When I go to other restaurants, I often wonder why they can’t/don’t learn from what Puesto does. Was a little sad that the Frozen Horchata is (once again) off the menu…….maybe it will re-return as it has done in the past!

The food is not very good and way overpriced. I was there for lunch. I ordered the Enchiladas Suisa because ii saw it was made with Oaxaca cheese which I love. I received 2 skinny chicken enchiladas—no beans, rice or other sides and had water to drink. If there was cheese in the enchiladas, I could not tell. Lunch cost $31+. That is OUTRAGEOUS. This restaurant does not provide chips and salsa for free. My friends that dined with me had similar experiences. $6 for iced tea! I will never go back.

I really appreciate that they they took us an hour before our reservation and our server was exceptional and friendly and happy. We are a Mexican family of 13 that love authentic food and Puesto we were highly impressed with drinks all all the different platters we ordered. From the appetizers to the food. Rate it 100/100. Will definitely return again. Thank you for the experience and welcoming vibes.
