    This was my second time here. The experience was incredible and the staff was amazing. I wish I had the opportunity to take some food home and not waste but that’s what happens with all you can eat. I didn’t have enough room for dessert but it was my man’s bday, so we had to. The crème brûlée cheesecake was out of this world amazing! We definitely over indulged but it was worth every penny !

    Fantastic, fun time at Puesto Los Olivos again. Food was delicious! We had the salsa bar (all the salsas were fantastic. The table's favorites ended up being the sweet, smoky pineapple and the smoky tomato), classic guacamole and various tacos for Taco Tuesday. I had the Verduras taco with no cheese because I'm vegan. I appreciate that they always accommodate that request. It is delicious! Other people at the table had the filet mignon, short rib and carnitas tacos. The favorite was the short rib taco. The ambiance is fantastic at this location. We sat out on their beautiful, festive patio, with hanging lights and heat lamps. This is always a favorite!
