I asked for two items off the menu and was told they didn’t have that available. The food was a little bland and the beer was flat. Service was pretty good.

Our experience at Puntamar was great! You can tell the restaurant was curated with a lot of detail and knowledge about the cuisine. We shared the aguachile and had an assortment of tacos. Recommend for a fun date night or night out with friends!

This was our first time eating here. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious! Great vibe! My husband had the taco plate and I had the branzino. I can’t wait to go back and try something else.

Puntamar has become one of our favorites in the area. Alejandro is a warm and attentive owner and beautifully shares his love for the food he presents. Standouts include the tuna tataki tostadas, the Machu Picchu ceviche, the birria pizza, and the octopus. I always look forward to going back and trying something new or seeing the faces of the new folks we’ve brought with us to dine. I always feel transported to someplace magical when we dine here. Love, love, love this place.
