    Tacos
    Cassandra A.

    My new favorite spot! Tacos are 10/10 and it's convenient for those leaving the gym next door

    Al pastor taco & asada chico tacos
    Sierrah T.

    Just walked in after the gym to check it out and OMG the Al pastor is so good!!! That's always my go-to but it is incredibly flavorful here. The Asada was also delicious, I couldn't figure out which I loved more. The server was also super welcoming and nice. Recommended that those were his favorites. Will definitely come back!

    This place is super expensive, and not authentic food at all!! The owner doesn't give the automated receipt if you request it he makes up excuses to not give it away. Very suspicious!! Review on food... Tostada de Pata: super hard and no flavor at all Gordita de Chicharron: was super oily and hard masa shell, the Chicharron was not cooked the traditional way Tacos de Canasta: not good, super thick handmade tortilla and nothing like a traditional taco de canasta Consome: super watery and missing flavor Pambazo was ok Alambre: didn't come with tortillas they only put one hand made tortilla splitting in Little pieces the taste was reasonable Taco de chorizo was good

    Tacos de asada, pastor, chorizo

    This place is my to go spot whenever I want good authentic Mexican food. The service and people are great. The restaurant is always clean. I drive all the way from Lancaster it's about a 2 to 3 hr drive and it never disappoints. I love coming here for tacos burritos and tortas and anything I've gotten is always well proportioned. Thank you guys and keep doing what you're doing.

    Torta de pierna
    Hugo D.

    Their food is great. Everyone says their food taste good. Their tortas are huge and my respects to anyone who can finish them in one sitting. I love their tacos and gorditas.

    Carne Asada Torta...YUMMY & HUGE!

    Finally tried this little family owned Mexican restaurant in a local shopping center by our house. Wish we would have tried it sooner...we've had the street tacos & carne asada Torta and they were all so yummy!! Everything is so fresh & authentic. The cashier is always so friendly and a Dodgers Fan...YAY!! This is our new go to when we want to get authentic Mexican food to go!!

    So delicious!

    The tacos were really good I recommend the carnitas, pastor, and canasta tacos. The horchata was also very tasty

    Ultimate Nachos with Carnitas
    MyMy T.

    I love this place! First time here right after my scalp massaging appt next door at Hi Lite Hair. Decided to pick up some nachos. Couldn't find it on the menu so I asked the kind gentleman. Looked like he was a one man show. He asked if I wanted everything on there and of course I said yes! He hooked us up big time. It was so good!!! Thank you for your kind service and delicious food.

    A small little family owned Mexican restaurant located right next to a gym. I decided to stop by after a workout and Surprisingly the food was great! There was also complimentary chips and salsa if you dined in. Service was excellent and the food was delicious while being affordable at the same time. 3 Carnitas Tacos - $6

    Chicharron taco de canasta
    Victor M.

    Came here tonight after the gym. Im honestly glad i found this family owned spot! It's rare finding a spot that makes their own tortillas. Despite being short staffed tonight, they provided with top notch service.

    Carne asada and al pastor, delicious

Scotty took what was already a great date night and made it truly memorable. Not only was he the best server we've had since we started dining at Puesto, but I'd go so far as to say he was one of the best servers I've ever had anywhere. Scotty had a calm, understated demeanor that was part of his charm. He was genuine, attentive, extraordinarily kind, and somehow managed to keep my Diet Coke with lime full the entire evening. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and was always there at just the right moment. Best of all, he laughed at my dad jokes. While the food was outstanding, Scotty made the experience even better. His service elevated an already great meal into an exceptional evening. We will absolutely be requesting Scotty's section every time we visit Puesto Anaheim.

The restaurant is located in the middle of Downtown Disney, with the entrance tucked off to the side. Just make sure you don't mistake it for Centrico! The service was amazing from start to finish. We were greeted by a hostess downstairs, who then had another hostess upstairs escort us to our table. Since the dining area is upstairs, you can either take the stairs or use the elevator. Our server, Alyssa, was incredibly attentive and helpful. She gave my fiancée some great recommendations and helped her make a few choices. The gentleman who brought out our food was also very informative and took the time to explain each dish as he delivered it. The food and drinks, from the appetizers all the way to dessert, were amazing. We started with drinks. My fiancée ordered the Maya-Tai, while I got the Sangria. We both enjoyed our drinks, but we ended up ordering two more glasses of the Sangria because we liked it that much! The first food item to arrive was the half-dozen oysters (not pictured because we were too impatient!). They tasted incredibly fresh, although we did encounter some shell debris in a few of them. We also shared the Pulpo Enamorado, which is grilled octopus served with tuna aioli, salsa macha, and pickled vegetables. This was one of our favorite dishes, and I highly recommend it as a shareable small plate. My fiancée ordered the Enchiladas de Pollo--shredded chicken wrapped in corn tortillas and served with salsa verde, avocado, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and queso fresco. I ordered the Lamb Barbacoa, which was slow-cooked and served with a pinto bean purée, mint jocoque, sweet pickled jalapeños, and a side of corn tortillas. Both entrees were absolutely delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Overall, we had an amazing experience. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere all impressed us, and we definitely recommend giving this place a try. We're already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu--and, of course, getting the Sangria again. I highly recommend getting the pitcher if you're dining with a group!

    Background On Chef/Owner: Chef Carlos is the first Mexican-born chef to earn a Michelin star. A…read more2013 contestant on BRAVO's Top Chef and appearing as a judge on cooking shows in the US and Mexico, he's become a widely recognized ambassador of Mexican cuisine throughout the world. "We show people love through food, and food helps them love my homeland." Background On Paseo Restaurant: Through an unfiltered expression of his native food and culture, Chef Carlos brings a true Mexican dining experience to the Downtown Disney District -- taking guests on a multisensory journey to the heart of his home country. From fresh shrimp ceviche to savory cochinita pibil, each dish is thoughtfully and artfully crafted. Contemporary rich woods, custom leathers, lavish greenery, and native accents celebrate Mexico's warm climate and culture. Reservation: They partnered up with open table. You can reserve through their website or on the phone. Location/Parking: Located where Catal use to be located at. It's also near Céntrico and Tiendita. Parking can be found in the Downtown Disney lot. Ambiance/Decor: Nice ambiance with modern furnishings. Main dining area is on the 2nd floor. You can use the elevator or the beautiful staircase. I also like how there was a enclosed glass kitchen, where you can see the kitchen staffers at work. Service: Service was good. Nicole was friendly, attentive, and offered great suggestions. Food came out at a decent time. Food Of Choice: 1) Steak Tartare ($25): Consists of NY strip tartare, charred onion & black truffle aioli, tangerine purée, chives, and 3 triangle cut brioche toast. Thought the steak Tartare was very good! What made the small plate even better was the use of the toasted brioche bread. Kinda reminded me of the bread used for a grilled cheese sandwich. :) 2) Carne Asada ($66): 12 oz new york steak with hoja santa & quesillo doblada, goat cheese fondue, oven-roasted tomatoes, shishito peppers, and fingerling potatoes. Steak was nicely seasoned and tender. Loved the fingerling potatoes. 3) Cochinita pibil ($42): The Guerrero-style pork shank literally fell off the bone and was quite flavorful. My only complaint was that it didn't coming with enough corn tortillas. It only came with 3. If you wanted more, it would be an extra cost. Paseo For Thought: I wouldn't mind coming back to try more food.

It wasn't that the tacos were "bad" it's just they were so lacking in flavor as to be non-existent.

Are you mad at me? Service is really good and drinks are solid and the space is cute. Why 5 stars?

Came in for a little date night on a Saturday evening. The whole staff was friendly and accommodating, always quick to refill drinks or clear empty plates. We started off with some delicious and spicy oysters which were topped with a shrimp! We also had to try the Chori-brussels which are flash fried Brussels sprouts with chorizo, balsamic reduction, and Oaxacan cheese. For drinks we got a Santo Dia, a whiskey based cocktail with watermelon, lime, and fizz served over ice. We also ordered the Spicy margarita which had watermelon habanero, lime, and hibiscus flavors. They were both delicious and refreshing, the spicy marg had a good kick to it. For dinner we got a caesar salad, the ribeye plate, and the Urbana burger. We both loved the dressing on the caesar, it's made in house and it shows. The ribeye was cooked perfectly with a delicious herb butter on top, a really good steak sauce on the side, and thick cut fries. The ribeye wasn't the highest quality but it tasted good, the fries were perfect. My fiancé got the burger which had chorizo, melted queso Oaxaca, and an egg on top. Not gonna lie it was absolutely delish! I want to come back just for the burger. All in all we had a great time and I would definitely come back for some other menu items, especially to try more of their margs and specialty cocktails. Thanks Urbana!
