About this restaurant

Lively
Good for groups
Great for happy hour

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.

Food was good but portions have shrunk since the last time we visited. Margaritas were also very weak. Service was fine though we didn’t get our drinks until after our food arrived.

Beautiful place, nice atmosphere. Needed a bit more diversity on the menu as the tacos were definitely the focus of the menu. They were excellent, but a few more choices seemed logical?

I booked a standard indoor table on OpenTable but was told only the bar or high top in the bar was available. Not a giant issue but just a dimmer on expectations.

Great food and service. Julian was a really good waiter, Brandon is too. Love the tacos, especially the asparagus. Salsa is always great, never too spicy. Guac now has no onions, which is awesome.. always had to ask for no onions previously, now the onions are no more..thanks!
