    Overall was good. Great service, amazing drinks. Some dishes were extremely good while others were lacking. Chips and salsa were very good. They had different kinds of salsa to accommodate everyone’s spice tolerance. Down side the restaurant was very noisy.

    We were here to celebrate a personal milestone for my spouse. Food was good and everything started off pretty well. The service was terrible and left a bad taste that we would not return or suggest this place to anyone. We were waiting over 20 mins after our main course for our server to check up on us for dessert and nobody turned up. Later she came and we asked for a dessert menu, only for her to return with the check. They were gone so soon that we didn’t get a chance to tell them a second time that we were not ready for check. Did not expect that the place came with rude staff

    Hello Sreedevi, Thank you for visiting us at Puesto Santa Clara and for your choosing us to celebrate your spouse's personal milestone. While I'm thrilled you enjoyed the food you ordered, I'm disappointed you weren't satisfied with the service. We pride ourselves in providing great food and drinks with awesome service to match, but regrettably fell short with the service this time. I'd love to hear more about your last visit in so we can improve the experience for you and future guests. Please be on the lookout for my PM. I look forward to your response and hope to hear back soon. Christian

    Great restaurant with beautiful design, good service and relaxed ambiance. The food is very good and my short ribs enchiladas were tasty but had some bits that were tough and chewy. The chicken enchiladas looked better. My partner was very pleased with the tacos, one with chicken and one with lobster. Food is ordered a la carte and white rice and whole black beans are extra and they are just ok (I prefer Spanish rice and refried pinto beans). There is a full bar that features a few micro brew beers. I had a bottle of nonalcohol Corona and my partner had a mango margarita the he very much enjoyed.

    Hello Andy, Thank you for visiting us at Puesto Santa Clara and for your valued feedback! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed everything about your last dining experience from the food and drinks you ordered to the service you received. The next time you're in order the Mole Enchiladas, it's my favorite plate off our current menu. We look forward to your next visit and hope to see you again soon! Christian
