   It was a great location and amazing indoor ambience. The food was good but tad expensive considering the portion size. Great server and a great time.

   We really enjoyed our food but felt it was pretty expensive. 3 tacos (albeit very good portioned) for $30+ and extra for sides was pretty pricey. We will save it for special occasions but we DO want to come back!

   I have been to this place several times, it seems to be going downhill. We went for a friend’s birthday. We were seated next to a very large party that was so horrifyingly loud we were screaming at each other to just have a conversation. We asked to move, and they did accommodate us, right next to the bathroom. The service was not great and the food was not very good for how expensive it is. I had put in the reservation that it was a birthday, in the past they bring a birthday dessert, not this time. Overall, it was mediocre at best, I think this trip was the nail in the coffin for this place for me.

   Highly dislike the center area of the restaurant. Lighting is just terrible. I’ll never sit in that area again if I return. I thought I’d be okay with it but no. Not sure why we were not seated near the windows since no one on any of them we occupied. Terrible.

    Our server pretty much abandoned our table after we ordered. We had to order our second round of drinks through the bar only to have our server bring them after he abandoned our table to do anything else. Then he just never came back. The appetizer was good but my entree came out barely warm. My $18 passion fruit margarita was super sour. It was my very first time going and it just left a bitter taste in my mouth.

    It was for mother’s day because in Mexico we celebrate it on May 10th. A suggestion maybe in the future to do special deals for mothers day (May 10) giving its a Mexican restaurant. We also got some food items made incorrectly or quality was not great. We always come here, so it was disappointing.

    Puesto has amazing food. I am always satisfied with 2 tacos and no sides. They’re delicious and the drinks are good too. I am a huge fan of the filet mignon tacos. So delicious! And the music of course sounds like my playlist. Bad bunny, JBalvin, Maluma, Shakira, Rosalia love it! And beautiful bar.

    Service not very good. Server stopped at table to ask if all ok and if we need anything . I asked for refill on ice tea which never happened. Server returned much later when we were ready to leave then she asked if we wanted anything I said ice tea but we’re leaving and we want the check. She did apologize and comped the ice tea, but she neglected our table after food was served. Also they were out of white wine. A good restaurant does not sell out of white wine on a Saturday afternoon/evening.

    Flavors are ok, but skimped on protein portions (too little meat in quesadillas and other small plates). We went in for cinco de mayo and left after splitting one app and having two drinks because we felt wildly overcharged. You can get much better value in terms of portion and authenticity at other nearby locations.

    The service by the servers was terrible. We were only a party of two. Took forever to come to the table no intros, didn’t ask if we wanted drinks, no reason why there were two ppl standing there and writing down orders (probably training). Was just what do you want? And that’s it. Otherwise food was good, hostess, manager all good.

    I liked my vegetarian choices. Others in my party that tasted the other options commented that the food tasted great. We are a work from home team and we look forward to catch up when we get together. The music was a bit too loud for us to be able to converse with our team.

    Everything was great but parking is so bad that I’m unlikely to return for dinner. I’ll try lunchtime to see if parking is less horrific. I had to park greater that a quarter of a mile away on some random nearby street.

    The tacos I had were okay not really anything to highlight. The molcajete salsa was the best flavored item I had. The margaritas and drinks in general were really expensive. I had a passion fruit margarita that was really hard to drink since it was so sour. The drink was not worth what I paid. The ambience is loud, so if you’re looking for somewhere quiet, this place is not the vibe. Definitely more energetic after work with friends or co-workers vibe.

    The waiter made a mistake with one of the plates (which is no big deal) but instead of giving us a break since one meal came later than the other three, he charged us for both plates (including the incorrect one). They made the correction after we pointed it out.
