   Tasty Mexican food with a slight nouveau twist on things. Service was spotty but food came out quickly. We enjoyed the crab shrimp flautas and the tacos: birria and carnitas. Would come back on a Tue during happy hour for more budget friendly pricing.

   Puesto is a beautiful restaurant with high ceilings, impressive bar and open airy seating (little breezy/cool for winter and sunlight shines into your eyes if you're facing the windows). Services is polite, but mediocre. They only checked in once, and we had to request beverage refills twice. The food presentation is nice. The seasoning and sauces (especially the Tamarind Shrimp Tacos) are tasty and well balanced. Taco proteins were all overcooked (filet and chicken were WELL done and the shrimp and lobster were rubbery and chewy). Vegetarian options ordered were all very nice. The chopped salad, potato taquitos and off menu rice bowl were fresh and well seasoned. The highlight of the meal was the Chilaquiles (chicken on the side). Crisp tortilla chips with salsa roja, crema, queso fresco, Parmigiano-Reggiano, cilantro that was slightly spicy and richly tangy, and we'd definitely order it again. Overall a pleasant lunch, but there's obvious room for improvement, especially for the price ($8-$17 each taco and $14 guacamole).

   Pretty chill for a Saturday night. Service took a minute initially but once our server finally showed up everything was good

   Overall was good. Great service, amazing drinks. Some dishes were extremely good while others were lacking. Chips and salsa were very good. They had different kinds of salsa to accommodate everyone’s spice tolerance. Down side the restaurant was very noisy.
