Puesto is pretty good for what it is. I go here if I want a more modern spin on Mexican food. The food is pretty good and you get a fair enough portion. The service experience is always just “another customer” vibe. It’s pretty much get seated, order your food, get your food, eat and then leave. The servers aren’t rude or anything, just don’t expect genuine concern.

Went with high expectations and had reserved a table although not was not necessary. 10-11 minutes after being seated my server had not shown so moved to the bar area. Ordered ceviche and tacos requesting that ceviche be brought first: obviously that did not happen. Food is above average, service mediocre, hostesses pretentious and unapologetic.

A California chain where the atmosphere actually feels cook! And taco Tuesday is the best - 1/2 price tacos. Great guacamole too! And the margs are the best. Our server was so good!
