- CCatherineVIPLondon •11 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoService at the bar was terrific! The bartender, Ruben, I think was his name, was friendly and made a great mocktail and terrific drinks. We each ordered three different tacos, which were excellent, but they took a little while to arrive… perhaps that’s because we had appetizers at the bar beforehand so I guess we expected the food to arrive a little quickly. Overall, a great experience with Mexican food.More infoPuesto at the HeadquartersPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Downtown•4.6

- SSergeyAtlanta Metro •11 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 7, 2024The service was excellent, and the food was fresh and unique. They had some delicious seafood dishes, including raw oysters and Peruvian-influenced ceviches. Everything tasted amazing. The outdoor seating next to the heating lamp created a cozy atmosphere. The only downside was the limited drink selection. They offered a few cocktails but lacked most of the liquors. For instance, they couldn’t make a gin martini. On the positive side, they had a good selection of wines. Overall, we had a great experience with a touch of European charm and Peruvian flavor.More infoCrudo Ceviche & Oyster BarPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Little Italy•4.5
- JJohn PaulSan Diego •10 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 16, 2024Found this restaurant on OpenTable and was not disappointed. The ambiance is incredible and the food matches it perfectly. However, I think the service, at least our server in particular, was extremely helpful and that really made the whole experience that much better for us.More infoCamino RivieraPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Little Italy•4.8
