    Overall a good experience for lunch near my work place. Our server was super nice and the place is lively and has a fun vibe. The food was good but a bit pricey, I had 2 tacos $10-12 each.

    The food and drinks were good and the environment was great the only problem I had was that my waiter didn’t inform me he will be leaving for the day and had to wait for the other server for about 20 minutes to get our next drink. Other than that everything was great.

    First time dining here, pricing was a little on the high side especially for tacos but would come back again. Would recommend the carnitas & fish tacos, blended horchata which wasn’t on menu but waiter offered to regular horchata, & the tres leches for dessert. Ambience was a little on the loud side, but maybe because it was an open floor plan & the music was louder than expected. Other thank that service was great, was seated 10 minutes before actual reservation time when I expected to be waiting since it seemed busy & it was Valentine’s Day.

    I've dined at multiple Puesto locations (San Diego, Concord, and now Santa Clara) and they never disappoint. The tacos are exquisite; much fancier than any others I've had before, and at a reasonable price. I recommend asking for the guacamole sample flight, which might not be on the menu, but is a great way to try multiple kinds of guac that are all pretty tasty. In addition to the food quality, the ambiance and service were top notch. This is an excellent choice for coworkers, friends, or date night, although it is a bit on the pricey side.
