- BBrianVIPOrange County •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agomy first time at Puesto for dinner with my childhood friends (holiday reunion). food was excellent. Appetizers were priced at about where I expected. Three different kinds of ceviche. I had the skirt steak plate. It was a little pricey for the amount of food. But then again it is the high rent district next to Disneyland. Tacos looked good, probably the better value. The cocktails were a little pricey too. Margaritas ran 17 –20 $20. Again, it is the high rent district. It was not too noisy inside – – could still hold a conversation with those at my table. Service was excellent, and very attentive to our service needs. I’ll go there again, but will order tacos instead.More infoPuesto AnaheimPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Anaheim•4.7
