" The drinks here are exceptional. I had a spicy margarita that was incredibly well-prepared. However, I found the portion sizes lacking compared to the price. The atmosphere makes up for it, as it has a fun yet relaxed vibe. Would recommend but be aware of the pricing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to La Puerta on a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint! The carne asada and taco salsa were authentic and flavorful. I also loved the outdoor seating as it added to the ambiance. Will definitely return; they’ve earned a new fan! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found La Puerta a bit too pricey for what I received. The drinks were nice, but I expected more flavor from the food. It wasn’t bad, but I know I can find better options for Mexican food in the area. Atmosphere was nice, though, with a fun vibe. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was blown away by La Puerta! The authentic vibe and delicious tacos transported me straight to Mexico. The carne asada taco was particularly fantastic. Our server was attentive and kept our drinks filled. Highly recommend for anyone seeking quality Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was okay; I think the hype made me have certain expectations. The tacos were small and while the guacamole was fresh, the pricing felt excessive for the amount on the plate. The atmosphere is nice, but food quality is what counts for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an underwhelming experience overall. The food was overpriced for what was provided. The chips were stale, and I wasn’t blown away by the entrees. The server was polite, but it didn’t make up for the disappointment in the food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an okay experience at La Puerta. The food was decent, but it lacked the authentic kick I expected from a Mexican restaurant. While the service was friendly, there was a bit of a wait for our food. The ambiance was nice, and it has a good vibe, but I may explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)
