    $2 tacos filling and hit the spot $1.50 tacos on Tuesdays $7.50 breakfast burritos. Opens. 9am Wish they had breakfast tacos $12.58 for carne asada tacos a bit steep. I think vip tacos said $10.99 and $7.25 on Fridays

    It's a small joint that looks family owned from the outside. At first look, the menu seems overwhelming but it's actually just the toppings/choices of meat you can put into the item that you want and the prices are included! The service was exceptional. The woman was very respectful to all guests in both Spanish and English, even over the phone, and incredibly quick to clear a line. It kind of reminds me of my mom. She was very clear in explaining how taco Tuesday works to me as well as how pricing is different for certain types of meats in different entrees. They DO have taco Tuesday specials for tacos! It's only catered to tacos hence the name taco Tuesday, so other entrees like burritos or tortas do not get this benefit. Now let's get into the food. I ordered 3 tacos - asada, carnita, and al pastor. I was asked if I wanted "everything" on it - these would be onions and cilantro, and of course we go with the YES. You can also get green or red salsa, tapatio, and lime with your tacos. I went with green salsa and lime. My impression is oh yeah it's good. It's all good. Oh yeah.

    La comida esta muy buena mi hijo le gusta mucho los tacos y los chips que dan con salsa y te sirven bien

    Enchiladas with the extra dry sauce around it. NO BUENO

    Not very good at all. This is not the first time I've been here and usually like their Taco Tuesday. But today was pretty bad, Enchiladas were Sort of dry and the sauce was burnt into the plate as if microwaved too much. My Asada burrito was dry and meat was hard. Barely tasted like an asada burrito. Rolled taquitos we're OK and pushed my review to 2 stars. Not sure I'll be back.

    TEEEEEEEENY tacos!!! It's almost comical how tiny the tacos are. This owner is super frugal and apparently rips off his customers I, personally don't eat food from this place, but my mom does. And she pointed out that the tacos are so tiny, the owner decides to start using the mini tortillas compared to the regular tortillas, how he once did. AND, he sells the mini tortillas AT THE SAME DAMN PRICE as regular tortillas! She says the tacos taste good, just not for the price.

    I live on down the 57 from this place; I pass it every day. I decided to give this place a choice after coming home and being super hungry. When you walk in, you'll notice this place is pretty spacious and is super clean. They've got the usual burritos, tacos and all the Mexican goodies. I went with a burrito de asada. There's a salsa bar to the side with a salsa roja and a green sauce as well as limes. The burrito was big and nice and hot. Packed with flavor from the asada and cilantro and onions and creaminess from the beans. I'll be back to try other dishes for sure

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.

It wasn't that the tacos were "bad" it's just they were so lacking in flavor as to be non-existent. Like, if I already had some flavor in my mouth the taco would have sucked that out as well just to ensure that everything was completely devoid of flavor. Even the chips weren't salted. Are you mad at me? Service is really good and drinks are solid and the space is cute. Why 5 stars? Because the rating system is stupid but this place needs to get someone in the kitchen that is going to actually taste the food they're sending out.

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!
