Good was great, table service was a little slow. We wanted to oahe a pitcher but upgrade the tequila and their pos wasn't programmed to do that so we couldn't order it. Their loss of added revenue. Otherwise had an enjoyable time.

Come for the Vibes, Stay for the Pink Taco Aprons Let’s start with the first thing you’ll notice—yes, the servers at Puesto wear black aprons with pink tacos embroidered on them. Funny and and honestly, it sets the tone for what’s to come: trendy, cheeky, and a little unexpected. I was waiting on a friend, and to their credit, the staff was attentive without being overbearing. But be warned: chips and salsa are not complimentary here. The server might upsell it so sweetly that you don’t realize you’re paying for something that’s free at most taquerias. Cute trick, Puesto. At first glance, the menu looks reasonably priced—until you realize that a “taco plate” is just one taco. One. I ordered one with the much-hyped crispy cheese, which sadly wasn’t very crispy at all. The rice and beans? Meh. About as exciting as a Tuesday meeting. Atmosphere-wise, Puesto nails it. The space is open, warm, and full of lively energy. Great for a catch-up with friends or a first date that needs a little background buzz to keep things flowing. My friends were bigger fans than I was—they raved about the filet mignon taco and devoured the tres leches cake. If you’re looking for authentic, abuela-approved Mexican food, this probably isn’t your spot. But if you’re craving California-style Mexican fusion served in a hip setting and don’t mind paying a little more for the ambiance, Puesto delivers. Bonus tip: There’s paid parking in the Westin Hotel structure next door. Convenient, but don’t forget to validate!

A must visit!!! This place is so cute - Price tag is a tad on the expensive side so be aware ahead of time. I had the mango marg, steak tacos and pistachio tres leches!!! All of them were amazing! Be aware the the price is PER TACO! Music was great, service was great, and I would definitely recommend!

A fantastic place whether you have a group of 40+ or a small party. The tacos are absolutely fantastic, enjoy the chips and salsa and do ask for the green salsa if you like jalapeños. The ambience is modern and high- tech, with liquor shelves that come down from the ceiling. The variety of drinks is very nice and the pours are generous. It’s located near Disney but a far cry from the “Disney Vibes”. Located next door to. Westin, it’s a must for adults wanting good food and adult beverages. I recommend reservations.

Great spot for some tacos and margaritas! Our group of 10 made a reservation online and were promptly seated. The tacos amd guacamole were great. Drinks unique and tasty. The whole group had a nice time- would return next time I am in town.

A very neat restaurant close to Disney. The ceviche was awesome! Drinks and food were good, but for what you get the prices were extremely high. Fun restaurant for date night but just know you don’t get a whole lot for what you pay for.

Although the prices are a bit higher, I have to say – you can taste the quality! Everything had that fresh, farm-to-table flavor. I tried the California burrito, and it was delicious! The salsa was so addictive, I couldn’t get enough. The vibe of this place is unmatched, and I loved the unique bar with its moving shelves. Such a cool touch! Definitely worth a visit!
