" What a fantastic experience we had at Puesto! The vibrant decor and energetic atmosphere made for a great setting. The tacos we chose were unique and tasty—especially the mushroom and carnitas! Service was prompt, and our waiter was very friendly. Overall, a perfect spot to treat yourself to something different. Looking forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Puesto Los Olivos was an interesting experience. The food was tasty, especially the shrimp tacos, but they were quite pricey. I was hoping for a bit more authenticity, as I'm used to more traditional Mexican flavors. The atmosphere was lively and fun, but it could get a bit loud, so it's not the best place for intimate dinners. Service was attentive, though a little slow at times. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Puesto after hearing so many good things. The ambiance is indeed trendy, but I found the food to be a little overrated. The tacos were fine but didn't have the taste explosion I was expecting. Our server was pleasant, but the wait time between courses was a bit long. I might try it again for a casual night out, but I wouldn't prioritize it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally got to visit Puesto, and it did not disappoint! The tacos were absolutely packed with flavor and the handmade tortillas were a nice touch. My friends and I went on Taco Tuesday and took advantage of the discount, which made the experience even better. The service was friendly, though we had to ask for refills a few times. Overall, a delightful evening. I'm definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very disappointing experience at Puesto. The tacos were small and overpriced compared to what I would expect for quality Mexican food. I had the fish taco but couldn't taste much of anything, just soggy. The chips and salsa were nice touches but couldn't save the meal. Our server was friendly but seemed overwhelmed with the crowd. Overall, I wouldn't return, given my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Puesto Los Olivos is a must-visit! The atmosphere is lively and fun, perfect for friends or family gatherings. We loved the shrimp tacos, packed with flavor! Our server was attentive and made great recommendations. It’s a bit pricey, but the quality of food justifies the cost. I will definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Puesto fails to impress. The tacos were underwhelming, and at $9 each, I expected more than what they served. The atmosphere is nice, but that can't make up for the lack of flavor in the food. Service was average, I think they were just really busy. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to try it. " (*Curated Review*)
