    We had a reservation to eat at Puesto. But, we chose to sit at the bar because we tend to have a lot of fun sitting at a bar in a restaurant rather than a table. The food was amazing. Unfortunately, the two bartenders were not. Not engaging, difficult to get their attention, even just for a straw or a napkin and utensils. Although, the bar backs were great! Thankful that we were able to get their attention. I would’ve given a five star rating if the bartenders were kind. Because of that, we will not be going back there. Maybe we will try a different location because we did enjoy the food.

    We loved the new items on the menu, the CDMX Rib Eye Taco, the Asparagus Taco, and the new Flan. They’re all winners!

    Wildly overpriced. We eat at restaurants at varying price points but never have I visited a Mexican restaurant where tacos were $10 a piece and an enchilada plate was $30… The food was good but not worth the cost, not even close.

    Thank you for giving us a try and for sharing your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, but we completely understand your concerns about pricing. Our goal is to use high-quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation to create a unique take on Mexican cuisine, but we know that value means something different to everyone. We truly appreciate your perspective—it helps us reflect and continue improving. We hope to welcome you back in the future and provide an experience that feels more aligned with your expectations.
