Great experience! I went for my birthday last night and the service went above and beyond. They hand wrote me a card and the staff had all signed and I thought that was very sweet. They stored my cake in the fridge and sliced it for me and even provided a candle. I will definitely be coming back in the future! Thank you guys!

Food was delicious, beautiful and enjoyed by all. It was a beautiful day so we sat on patio and it was perfect. Drinks were so good - especially the frozen horchata - OMG - everyone was blown away by how scrumptious that was.

We came for NYE since it was taco Tuesday and Puesto did not disappoint. Tacos are on point and the margaritas are strong and delicious!

Went for Taco Tuesday/ Happy Hour, were very happy with our meal and Puesto margarita. We did not feel that our drinks were watered down despite early dining hour :) We tried lobster, shrimp, fish, mushroom and filet tacos. Lobster and filet were our favorites. Fish and lobster were perfectly cooked, shrimp a bit overdone. We would return in a heartbeat.
