Reviews for Puesto Mexican Artisan Kitchen & Bar in Irvine, CA

Such a great experience! Definitely a busy place so make a reservation. Happy Hour is M-F 3-5PM. Taco Tuesday's are awesome,... they are all 1/2 off. The house margarita is so yummy and staff are very friendly. Read more

First time here. We ordered different kinds of tacos, only the shrimp taco are really worth it. Other than that. Way too pricey.... With that size of taco.. Plus, no one really cares about our table. We gotta kept asking for waters or any other services. Thelady at our table said she will have a shift and then left. And after that, we got no one to really serve us. Even when we askedfor bills too… Meanwhile, other tables have there stuffs and services. Oh, chips and salsa are free by the way, but you gottaask for them to provide you. Which we asked for like at least three times.. Read more

Upscale food with great service. I had a delicious trio of Carnitas with an Upscale twist this afternoon. The ingredients all... tasted fresh and were cooked perfectly. I didn't have a long wait for lunch and my food was prepared quickly and served hot. Myservice was nothing short of perfect. I feel like the menu is a touch pricy but I was satisfied with my experience as a whole. Idefinitely recommend a visit. Thank you Puesto. Read more

Not so happy with the food but super discontent with the service. Service can break or make reviews. Our service would disappear... to the back and take long to come out to the table area. There were a lot of people standing around the kitchen. Everyone thatcame with us was not happy. Please improve the service. Ps. Taquitos are made with puff pastry. The Littles definitely didn'tlike that. Read more

The salsa here is amazing and full of flavor! One of the best I have ever had. Their Nogada Guac was so fresh with mangoes,... pomegranate, a hint of lime, and walnuts to add to the crunch! The tacos were alright! Quick service. If you are looking for afine, lazy, flavorful Sunday afternoon, here is your place. Read more

Gave it 3 stars due to price on tacos???? We went to Puesto for Taco Tuesday, 1 single taco is $9 (a little over priced for a... small street Taco IMO) i ordered 2 tacos, the mushroom taco and a shrimp taco. I was still hungry so I ordered the shrimp saladtoo! Food was great and the Agua Fresca is delicious. The staff is very nice, well trained on the menu and food allergies, Angiecame to our table and checked on us various times during our dinner, she check to make sure we where enjoying our food, and shemade sure we had water. The mango marg. was delicious, they don't go light on the tequila here!! Read more

Fantastic twist on Mexican cuisine. Everything was top-notch and not at all what I expected. Each taco is like a work of art,... and they taste soooooooo good. The ceviche was also not what I expected, and it blew me away. Worth the trip. Read more

I used to love coming to this place, but it’s gone downhill. Was a regular here even before I lived really close to here. The... service was awesome, the food was better, and the drinks were good. Now they have raised the prices and lowered their portionsizes. The mangers verbally harass other employees in front of other employees and guests. The service has gotten so bad you areleft at table for 20 minutes before a server even greets you. If you sit at the bar thinking maybe your drink will come in under10 minutes…. It won’t. I work in the service industry and have been now for 9 years. I understand once in a while but almostall the time is truly unacceptable. This place really needs to get it’s stuff together. Read more
