" I went to Puerta on a whim and was blown away. The tacos were so flavorful, and the queso dip was delicious as well! I highly recommend the churros for dessert; they were heavenly. The service was good, but we did wait a little long for our drinks. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Puerta twice last month! The first visit was fantastic; I enjoyed the rock shrimp taco and their signature margaritas! On the second visit, however, it took a little longer for us to be seated, and I felt a bit rushed while we were eating. Despite that, the staff was friendly and the flavors didn’t disappoint. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
