    Been to Puesto chain before. This time at Puesto Park Place. Very nice ambiance. Waiter was good but the food was such a disappointment. The tacos were dry. Spend over $300 on mediocre tacos was such a let down. Will not come back to this location.

    The place is beautiful and that’s what drew me there. I also like Mexican food, but that was very overpriced. It’s hard to find value in an average quality taco that is 3x what it should cost. Food was okay. The $14 guacamole was not fresh and a little brown. The tacos were tasty but very small. And like I said, you can find the same tacos elsewhere or another nice places that give more food and same quality.

    Had to wait quite a while, like an hour for food, which wasn’t super comfortable on the wooden bench but the ambiance was fantastic and music selection fun and hip. I ordered the chicken mole enchiladas and just about died it was the best mole I’ve had in the states! Phenomenal!

    10/10 food can’t complain other than the fact that they used to do complimentary chips but now they don’t??
