" I had heard so much about La Puente, I had to try it out. The food was nice, but the experience fell flat. The service was really slow; it took a long time for our orders to be taken and even longer for the food to come out. I tried the shrimp fajitas which were tasty, but the portions were smaller than I expected. The restaurant itself had a nice decor, and I imagine it would be great with family gatherings, just perhaps on a less busy night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to La Puente a couple of times, and each experience has been fairly consistent. I think what stands out is the generous portions. The last time, I ordered the carne asada burrito, and it was massive! However, I felt that it could use more seasoning, and I was a bit let down with the rice that was very plain. The atmosphere had a nice vibe to it, just a little crowded on a Saturday night. Overall, I’d recommend it for portion sizes, but maybe not for the food’s flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nothing like La Puente! The chips and salsa are a must-have starter. I always opt for the enchiladas, made to perfection. The flavors are authentic and really hit the spot. The restaurant can be a bit busy, but that’s a sign of a good place! Staff is generally friendly and accommodating. I've celebrated a few occasions here, and it never disappoints. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Puente has a reputation for big portions, and it is well deserved! I almost didn't finish my burrito—it was enormous! The flavors were fantastic, but I was hoping for a little more spice in the food. The ambience was very friendly, suited for families and big groups. I’ve been here several times and plan to keep coming back for those giant burritos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about La Puente! We come here almost every week. The smothered burrito with cheese is our family's favorite! The children love their tacos, and my husband enjoyed the fajitas. It's a great spot for a casual family dinner. The portions are immense, so be prepared to take some home. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, though it can get busy at times. What really steals the show is the authentic taste—it's like taking a mini trip to Mexico right in Salt Lake City. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Puente is one of the first places I visited when I moved to Salt Lake City, and it hasn't disappointed me yet. I’ve noticed that their smothered burrito is the main attraction, and now I understand why! Big portions and comforting flavors. They also offer specials that keep things exciting. However, their chips could be better, and service can sometimes lag. Still, I'll keep coming back for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon La Puente while looking for a casual dining place, and it turned out to be a major win! We were greeted warmly and seated right away. The food arrived fast. My husband loved the enchiladas, and my beef taco was delicious too! The children loved their chicken nuggets, which was a plus, as they can be picky eaters. However, I wish the menu included more authentic Mexican dishes, but overall, I would say it’s worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)
