   Puesto is a beautiful restaurant with high ceilings, impressive bar and open airy seating (little breezy/cool for winter and sunlight shines into your eyes if you're facing the windows). Services is polite, but mediocre. They only checked in once, and we had to request beverage refills twice. The food presentation is nice. The seasoning and sauces (especially the Tamarind Shrimp Tacos) are tasty and well balanced. Taco proteins were all overcooked (filet and chicken were WELL done and the shrimp and lobster were rubbery and chewy). Vegetarian options ordered were all very nice. The chopped salad, potato taquitos and off menu rice bowl were fresh and well seasoned. The highlight of the meal was the Chilaquiles (chicken on the side). Crisp tortilla chips with salsa roja, crema, queso fresco, Parmigiano-Reggiano, cilantro that was slightly spicy and richly tangy, and we'd definitely order it again. Overall a pleasant lunch, but there's obvious room for improvement, especially for the price ($8-$17 each taco and $14 guacamole).

   Pretty chill for a Saturday night. Service took a minute initially but once our server finally showed up everything was good

   Overall was good. Great service, amazing drinks. Some dishes were extremely good while others were lacking. Chips and salsa were very good. They had different kinds of salsa to accommodate everyone’s spice tolerance. Down side the restaurant was very noisy.

    We were here to celebrate a personal milestone for my spouse. Food was good and everything started off pretty well. The service was terrible and left a bad taste that we would not return or suggest this place to anyone. We were waiting over 20 mins after our main course for our server to check up on us for dessert and nobody turned up. Later she came and we asked for a dessert menu, only for her to return with the check. They were gone so soon that we didn’t get a chance to tell them a second time that we were not ready for check. Did not expect that the place came with rude staff

    Hello Sreedevi, Thank you for visiting us at Puesto Santa Clara and for your choosing us to celebrate your spouse's personal milestone. While I'm thrilled you enjoyed the food you ordered, I'm disappointed you weren't satisfied with the service. We pride ourselves in providing great food and drinks with awesome service to match, but regrettably fell short with the service this time. I'd love to hear more about your last visit in so we can improve the experience for you and future guests. Please be on the lookout for my PM. I look forward to your response and hope to hear back soon. Christian
