Puesto Santa Clara offers a vibrant atmosphere and "amazing tacos." The restaurant is a hit for its "exceptional margaritas" and "energetic vibe." Taco Tuesday is a must-visit for great value. While some find it pricey, the "outstanding service" and "delicious ceviche" make it a favorite for special occasions. Reservations recommended.

Left restaurant with a really bad impression. My wife and I ordered a tequila that they had advertised and we were told they did not have it. We also ordered a short rib plate only to have the waitress come back five minutes later and say they did not have the short rib plate today Very bad experience

Food (Mole Enchiladas & Baja Fish Tacos), drinks (Horchata & Negra beer) and dessert (Mango Cake) were great. Our server, Jaimie M., was outstanding. Highly recommend Puesto.

Good place. A bit overpriced for the quality of the food but good ambiance and decent service. Drinks were slightly on the diluted side. Overall neutral about going back.

The complaint is about hostesses and seating. They were letting people without reservations arriving after us to get tables before us. This is NOT the first time they are doing this! When asked why we are waiting for 15-20 minutes to get table while walkins without reservations got tables before us, they offered apology and voucher with some discount (we didn’t accept vouchers, just wanted to be seated). We were small party of four. Once we got seated inside, I saw at least few more tables around us where you can seat four people. The food and the waiter was great (as usual).he

The food was mediocre. The mole enchiladas came out cold, with way too much on top of them. I didn't send them back because I felt sorry for the servers - the place was so busy. The flavor was okay. For the price, they should have been amazing. Margaritas are around $18 and my coconut one was the best of the three we ordered. I'm not sure I'd go back. Dinner with one drink each was $232 without the tip.
