About this restaurant

Lively
Great for happy hour
Good for groups

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.

Tacos, Marg and service were great. I had two “off menu” tacos Hero and Cali. I also had the Puesto Perfect Margarita. We were a little surprised that they don’t offer a Sangria, but they made one that my wife enjoyed.

Puesto is a regular favorite for us for business dinners. And we love the ambience, the drinks and the food. However, this visit left us unsatisified with the food and drink. Tacos were a bit too salty. The carnitas taco in particular was chewy and tough. Margarita Puesto Perfect was too sweet.

Puesto in Santa Clara is definitely not your average taco joint. This place leans upscale, perfect for business lunches or a more refined taco experience. The vibe is modern and polished, with comfortable seating and a setting that’s great for conversation. Now, be warned: the tacos are $10–$12 each and come à la carte. No sides, no combo plates. If I were just grabbing a quick bite, I’d be annoyed paying nearly $30 for two tacos without rice or beans. But in the context of a business meal or nice lunch out, it makes more sense. I tried the short rib tacos and they were incredible. Rich flavor, well-balanced, and clearly made with attention to detail. So while I still love my $2 roadside tacos, Puesto fills a different need—one that involves good food and a nice setting.

$75 for 3 tacos and a cocktail with a shared side of guacamole seems excessive. Wait staff was uninterested and practically non-existent. Will not be returning.

I would only go there on Taco Tuesday where the tacos are half price, because the normal price of the tacos are ridiculously high. Actually their prices on everything are high, they charge you $4 for chips and salsa, $6 for an iced tea , the regular price of the tacos are from 10 to $17 each, and at the end add an extra 4%. We had four lobster tacos ,chips and salsa, and two iced teas and our bill was $57 and that was with the tacos being half price on Tuesday.

The appetizers (esquites and chicharon) were great. However, the fish tacos did not have much flavor. The carnitas were ok but a little tough to eat. The blue corn tortillas felt a little too thick, it seemed to take over the taste of the whole taco. Each taco was approx $10-12 each and they recommend 3 tacos. It does not come with anything else, so I don't think the value was worth it. Esp with some of the tacos were lacking in flavor. This place is pretty popular and generally busy but the food leaves much to be desired.

Takes Mexican cuisine to the next level. Hand made blue corn tortillas are absolutely delicious, and the tacos are so unique and flavorful. Go on Taco Tuesday to sample all of them for half the price!
