Puesto - Huntington Beach

Love Puesto!!! The ambiance both indoor and outdoor are nice and open. Drinks + tacos were real good. They have happy hour Mon-Fri from 3-5pm // 50% off all tacos on Taco Tuesday! 😍 The aesthetics were everything to me. Looking forward to my next girls trip here again!

My buddy told me about this place because he shops around the nearby spots all the time & this was his favorite Restuarant on the lot. I started off with the chips & molcajete salsa(excellent flavor and the chips were super crispy), the puesto perfect guacamole(best quac I’ve ever had period), Esquite(solid street corn) & finished it off with the Tres Leches de cafe(excellent desert with vanilla ice cream) along with a Coffee. I’d definitely come back here again. The bar area(elevator shelves, watch clips) is amazing & the architecture is what makes this spot an excellent place overall.

This restaurant is striking in its design and size. I love all the custom windows and design details. It really feels like a special experience when you enter. I’d say the thing Puesto is know for are their tacos and the melted cheese in them. The tacos are amazing and full of flavor. They have more unique offerings, so this isn’t just your average taco spot. I typically order 3 tacos with no sides. This is usually more than enough to fill me up and I’m a big guy. The only reason this isn’t a 5-star review is due to the price per taco. It just feels a bit much to charge $8, 9 or 10 for a single taco. For what you pay for 3 tacos, you can have a nice steak dinner with sides. The shrimp taco only came with 3 little shrimp and was $10. It was tasty but $10??? My house margarita was also excellent. I love the bar here. They do have happy hour specials during the week so check out the options. If the prices were just a bit more reasonable, I’d make it over here more often vs once every 3 months or so. They really need to do a Two-taco combo with a side at the same prices as what they charge for the 2 tacos.

This review is for drinks. $20 for a Cadillac Margarita with lots of ice is not worth it, my passion fruit juice had also lots of ice in it, I paid $16 for it. On the positive side, it has nice ambiance however I am definitely Not coming back to this place.

Amazing first time experience and super friendly staff! I'll definitely be returning soon with more friends. Horchata is absolutely highly recommended but it can be too sweet for some. I'd also recommend the classic guacamole, super fresh!
