   Food, service, music were good. We sat outside so we can talk without loud music. Bathroom were neglected a bit, one stall had no toilet paper. I will go back again.

   The best tacos in SoCal! The Hero taco is a secret menu item with lobster and filet mignon. It is insane!

   Ordered filet mignon taco and it was very tender and flavorful. Would have loved the restaurant more if the tacos weren’t $12 each

   Took over an hour to get our food and very little communication from our waiter.

   We came after the Mother’s Day rush which is why staff was very tired and forgot most of our order. Mostly everything on the menu was also no longer available. I’ve gone to Los puestos on other days and everything is always really good, I would just suggest not going on busy days when the rush has died down since they will probably run out from most things on the menu and staff is ready to leave and go home.

   Dear Yesenia, Thank you for your honest feedback. You're absolutely right—Mother’s Day was an exceptionally busy day for us, and while our team was fully engaged, we clearly didn’t deliver the level of service or availability you’ve come to expect from us. I'm so sorry that this impacted your visit. We appreciate your continued support and hope to welcome you back soon on a smoother day, so we can provide the full Puesto experience you know and love. Best, Ashleigh General Manager, Puesto Los Olivos

   Mother’s Day brunch menu was a bit lacking. Had an issue when the blue fin ceviche was order and the fish was spoiled.

   Originally Puesto was one of our favorite restaurants! Close by, good quality food, fair prices, nice bar, good staff! However the food quality has plummeted while the pricing has skyrocketed. The staff is still nice and pretty responsive and the bar is still solid but pricey! They sell street tacos for twice what they are worth! Their fish tacos are horrid!

While we’re proud of the quality and care we put into our food, we understand that value is personal, and your perspective is important. We’ll share your comments with our culinary team as we continue working to deliver the consistency and experience our guests deserve. Best, Ashleigh General Manager, Puesto Los Olivos

   We love dining at Puesto, especially during Taco Tuesdays. The tacos are always amazing, excellent service and ambiance is very inviting. It’s definitely our favorite place to indulge on tacos. I’ve been eyeing the lobster taco for a while and finally ordered it today, but I wasn’t as impressed as my favorite mushroom or chicken al pastor tacos.

    The mango ceviche was sooooo good! I will do a double order of it next time. Chips, salsa and tacos were perfect! Love Puesto! Our waiter was great as well. We sat outside by the heater and it was really nice.
