" Puesto has a great vibe! Went on a Saturday night, and the place was packed. We tried several different tacos, and while they were quirky and tasty, I found some of the flavors to be a bit overwhelming. My only complaint was the wait time for the food—it took longer than expected. Otherwise, a solid experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have eaten at Puesto multiple times, and each visit has been delightful. Their tacos are a great fusion of modern Mexican cuisine, perfect for anyone looking to try something new. I especially love their shrimp tacos and the unique sauces they offer. It helps that the staff is always friendly and ready to help with recommendations. Will continue to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Okay so I’ll admit I was floored by the good reviews, so I expected a lot. While the ambience was indeed lively and welcoming, the food just didn’t live up to the hype for me. The tacos were decent, but I've had better elsewhere. The service was adequate, but the wait for our food was a bit longer than I’d like. Hopefully, my next visit can change my opinion. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely evening at Puesto! The unique twist on traditional tacos blew me away. I loved the fried cheese wrap, and the drinks were equally impressive. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual and fun, though it did get a bit loud later in the evening. Our server was wonderful and made sure we were happy. Would certainly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Puesto is a delightful dining experience! The atmosphere is cheerful and welcoming, making it a great place to unwind. The tacos were flavorful—especially the vegan options! However, I found the place to be a bit noisy for my liking. Despite this, the high quality of food and service shone through! I'll return for sure. " (*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*)
