" El Puesto is uniquely charming; I always enjoy coming here for a quick bite. Try the tacos; they are highly popular for a reason! I often bring my friends here who are new to the area, and they all leave impressed. It’s nice to have a place where the food is authentic, though I’ve noticed the service can greatly vary depending on who’s working that day. Some staff members are incredibly attentive, while others appear to be in a rush. Nevertheless, the food quality keeps me coming back each time! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Puesto has become my favorite place to get tacos. Everything I've ordered has been spot on. Their barbacoa is just phenomenal and the handmade tortillas are the cherry on top! The service, however, could use some polishing as my server had a bit of an attitude. Despite that, I return for the food as the flavors are out of this world! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love authentic Mexican food, El Puesto is not to be missed! The homemade tortillas are the best in the area, and the variety of tacos is impressive. I went there last week for lunch, and although I had to wait a bit, the food made it well worth it. I especially loved their chicharrón taco – it was simply delightful. Friendly staff, but they can be a bit rushed during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about El Puesto, I decided to stop in for breakfast. The moment I walked through the door, I was struck by the smell of fresh tortillas. I ordered the chilaquiles verdes, and they were generously portioned and very flavorful! The beans on the side were perfectly seasoned, but I wish the staff had been a bit more welcoming. I was greeted with a nonchalant attitude, which was disappointing given how delicious the food was. It seems like they could use more help during busy times but overall, the quality of the food makes it worth the visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not gonna lie, when I walked into El Puesto, I was taken aback by how small it was. But that should not deter anyone because the food here is amazing! I recommend trying their signature tacos and the homemade tortillas? Absolutely divine! You will not find anything like this in corporate fast-food chains. The service, while friendly, could use some fine-tuning, especially during peak hours. You get the feeling they are juggling multiple tasks, which might lessen the dining experience a bit. But really, the food is what makes this place shine bright! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived at El Puesto. The exterior is quite unassuming, but as soon as I walked in, I was engulfed by the aroma of freshly made tortillas and savory spices. The tacos I ordered were excellent—highly recommend the carne con chile taco! One of the best I've had. Serving sizes are massive, too; I couldn't finish my dish! The service was friendly, but it is clear that they could improve on their speed, as we waited a little longer for our food than anticipated. Overall, great meal and I will be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I adore El Puesto! The food never fails to impress, especially the tripas! I've been here several times, and each visit has been consistent with great flavors. The ambiance gives off a cozy mom-and-pop feel, which I love. One downside was that I felt slighted by one of the waitresses - she appeared to favor another table. Nonetheless, the delicious food keeps me back! " (*Curated Review*)
