   The food is usually top notch. Other than an issue with too old (dead) fish in a ceviche dish, we've had really good luck. The service is always a bit challenging. We ordered the chips and chef salsa (4 specialized salsa's) and received the chips and regular salsa immediately but the 4 additional salsa came after we received our main entrees. They always run out of sparkling water. Considering how much they charge a bottle ($7+) they should just run over to Whole Foods next door and buy the bottles. They would still make a 100%+ profit. Plus -its loud, loud.

   It’s a beautiful restaurant. Our table though was on the side room facing Whole Foods, which is a bit dull compared to the main side

   The food is always spectacular. The filet tacos are what dreams are made of. We came for a group work event and weren’t disappointed.

   Food was good, but service was a bit slow and the waiters switched 1/2 way through our service causing 4 of us in our group to not get our food. The 2nd waiter checked and the kitchen said they’d run all the orders, so we waited like an hour to get enchiladas. They were literally closing as we got our food. Guacamole was great, but service was definitely lacking. Maybe next time!

   A lot of items in the menu are not available even a sparkling water. What restaurant runs out of sparkling water. Waiter have trouble getting our orders correct even though he repeats it after getting them. Twice a server brought food to our table even that we did not order. Food was below par, service needs a lot of improvement, only saving grace is the ambiance of the restaurant. Over all won’t recommend this restaurant not unless they greatly improve how their food tastes, make sure they don’t run out of items in the menu, vastly improve their customer service.

   We enjoyed our lunch at Puesto Santa Clara. The guacamole was very good. I enjoyed my kale salad, and my colleagues enjoyed their taco dishes. The only drawback was the service. We had to ask three times to have our guacamole served, and the service was slow. It was a busy lunch hour, so that may explain the delay. Overall, I recommend Puesto and will return.

    My reservation was for 7pm on Sunday,waited for a table to be ready then waited 40 mins and never got offered water or any waiters to ask us for anything at all We walked out and went somewhere else because the service was absolutely embarrassing I even had asked for an early day from work to make this 7pm work and yet had to settle for something quick elsewhere due to the waiting we had to do (we were limited on time)
