    We had the most AMAZING time at Puesto. My boyfriend and I came to celebrate our 3 year anniversary and I am so glad we chose this restaurant. Our server was absolutely amazing - if management sees this that guy deserves a raise! We sat next to the gorgeous bar and it was the perfect ambiance. Can't wait to come back

    We were sat by the kitchen which was kinda awkward with all the movement and noise. Food overall was good but not a good value for what we got.

    It was busy and the service was just very slow. Everyone was kind, just not very attentive. Waited about 15min just to order and again to get our check. It seems the prices went up a bit. Food is so good but $12 a taco is a little steep.

    Went here with friends. Margarita tasted like it had a bandaid soaked in it. Strange tasting tequila or something. Very expensive food for very little on the plate. Cold inside restaurant and uncomfortable seat cushions. Hosts and server were great. NO problem there. EVERTHING else, very disappointing. Definitely look elsewhere for good Mexican food and drinks.
