    First, I wanna say the service was great, our server John and Bartender Luke are always excellent. We come here often and sometimes as frequently as once a week. One of the reasons we come there so often is we love the margaritas and unfortunately, the margaritas that my wife orders, the hot sauce margarita has been removed from the menu and it’s something that they cannot make any longer. I hear It is one of the favorites for other customers as well. Another thing that we ordered was the flautas appetizer, normally there is a lot of chicken throughout , but something has changed recently. There was only chicken on the inside with like 2 inches on either side with nothing at all. There are other changes to the menu as well, but this just happens to be something that we order regularly. Other than that it was a great experience. Not sure how much we will frequent in the future with the removal of the favorite margarita but we will still be dining here. It seems that something is changing, hopefully for the better. My favorite margarita the Cadillac or the Puesto perfect is excellent and my favorite tacos are the filet mignon all the way. Cheers!

    We had a reservation to eat at Puesto. But, we chose to sit at the bar because we tend to have a lot of fun sitting at a bar in a restaurant rather than a table. The food was amazing. Unfortunately, the two bartenders were not. Not engaging, difficult to get their attention, even just for a straw or a napkin and utensils. Although, the bar backs were great! Thankful that we were able to get their attention. I would’ve given a five star rating if the bartenders were kind. Because of that, we will not be going back there. Maybe we will try a different location because we did enjoy the food.

    We loved the new items on the menu, the CDMX Rib Eye Taco, the Asparagus Taco, and the new Flan. They’re all winners!
