    Glaring lights

    The food might be ok but they are obnoxious therefore I will never try it. Imagine trying to sleep with this GLARING through your window at almost 2am. They are NOT good neighbors and loudly proclaim the orders that are ready over a speaker. No courtesy no respect for others.

    Siempre pongo mi orden y ordeno la tripa dorada , antes lo hacían bien , ya van 3 veces que ordeno y me lo dan así , me decepciona

    Al pastor and cabeza
    Andy T.

    Been going here a lot recently, their cabeza tacos and al pastor are the best in the area. The cabeza is so fatty and tender and flavorful. Service is standard from any taco truck. They open at 6pm i think everyday? And close late around 12-2am. Many salsas, limes, onions, raddish available for self serve

    Absolutely Amazing food, so good me and my family went back 3 different times in a 5 day trip! The group ordered half the menu and all of it was outstanding! This is a must go to and they are open late night! Friendly as well...

    This truck has moved out of the county. I'll miss their fantastic al pastor, it was easily the best in the area.

    Pretty good for a late night spot, but they were out of some meat options. Will try it again another time for sure.

    I come here for their chilaquiles chingones and they never disappoint! Highly recommend getting it…read morewith scrambled eggs and a side of their handmade tortillas. I usually have enough leftovers to take home and have for lunch the next day. Parking is a bit sparse, but there's residential spots available next door and within walking distance (as well as my favorite romance bookstore, Heartbound Bookshop). All their dishes are made to order, so please have some grace and be patient with their kitchen. As I always say, you can't rush perfection!

    I visited today because we were in the area and were craving menudo. The restaurant was busy, but…read morewe were seated right away, which was a plus. The agua de melón was delicious, and the side of beans was excellent. We also ordered a plain quesadilla, and it was surprisingly really good. The menudo itself was just okay--not bad, but nothing special. The reason I'm giving 2 stars isn't because the staff were rude, but they definitely weren't friendly or welcoming. My biggest concern, however, was what I witnessed with the condiments. When you order menudo, they bring a plate with limes, onions, and chili. I watched two employees clear tables, throw away some items, but keep the unused onions and uncut lime wedges from customers' plates and take them back into the kitchen to be served again. Even if I didn't use all of the onions or limes, that doesn't mean I didn't touch them. Reusing food that has already been on a customer's table is unsanitary and unacceptable. After seeing that, it made me wonder whether other items, like leftover chips, might also be reused. Whether or not that's the case, what I witnessed was enough to make me lose confidence in their food handling practices. Unfortunately, I won't be returning

    I celebrated my 29th birthday here with my family & it reminded me why Puesto has always been one…read moreof my favorite spots. I used to work here years ago so I know how much care goes into the food & drinks. The Puesto Perfect Margarita is still my favorite margarita I've ever had. Everything is made fresh & you can absolutely taste the difference. I always order mine with a sugar rim. It's consistently refreshing, balanced & incredibly smooth. We stopped by on a Monday around 4:30 p.m. just before happy hour ended. It was nice & relaxed when we arrived. It only started getting a little busier as we were leaving. We took advantage of happy hour & ordered a few favorites. The potato taquitos have been one of my go-to menu items for years & are just as delicious as I remembered. Crispy on the outside, flavorful inside & served over a generous bed of fresh guacamole that makes every bite even better. We also tried one of the newer happy hour items the short rib mini burrito served with a green sauce. Both my husband & I really enjoyed it. The short rib was tender & the sauce added the perfect amount of brightness. I was happily snacking on the chips with the molcajete salsa. It's one of my favorite restaurant salsas. I also love the chips with Puesto Perfect guacamole. It makes it hard to stop eating. Since it was my birthday I treated myself to a Tropical Candy Shot. If you like bold flavors definitely order one. It reminded me of a Mexican street candy in shot form with a Tajín rim & a pineapple garnish. It was festive, flavorful & the perfect birthday treat. The sweetest surprise of the evening was the complimentary birthday dessert. A slice of pistachio tres leches cake. I love tres leches but I've never had a pistachio version before. It was incredibly moist & rich without being too heavy. The pistachios added the perfect crunch & nutty flavor. It was one of the highlights of the meal. One small detail I always appreciate is that they bring a pitcher of water to the table. This makes it easy to refill your glass throughout the meal without waiting. It's a thoughtful touch that makes the dining experience feel more comfortable. I'm so glad we came back after not visiting for quite a while. I love the consistently amazing margaritas, delicious happy hour menu, & warm hospitality. The thoughtful birthday surprise made it even better. It was a wonderful way to celebrate. I'll definitely be back! If you're visiting for the first time do yourself a favor & order the Puesto Perfect Margarita & potato taquitos. Also save room for the pistachio tres leches if it's available.

    Food was so good! We basically tried everything. We had the salsa and guacamole flight. Loved their…read morechips too! We had the chicken taquitos, potato flautas, short rib enchilada, steak taco, fried fish taco, carnitas and the chicken tacos! The only thing that took away a star because we had to stand and wait for 15 minutes to be sat. We had a reservation that I made five days ago. They say other parties before us and we had to still stand and wait even with a reservation The restaurant itself is so beautiful! Great spot for dinner with the family!
