Puesto Los Olivos - Irvine (CA)

4 /5 Mel Nguyen: I highly recommend coming with a reservation when they open on the weekend. The restaurant ambiance was perfect since there werent many parties. The interior was green and enhanced the experience. The Hero Taco had good flavor with the exception of the lobster. I would probably just get a steak taco next time and hope to add on saucy onion strings. The Wagyu Brisket Taco was also a good one. It was very spicy but kept you coming back. The meat on the Wagyu Brisket was a bit tough to chew. The Pina Colada is a good drink to get. A good amount of sweet without overdoing it. The bathroom is clean and has multiple stalls. There are free postcards at the hostess stand. There was a 4% surcharge added to our final bill for our party of 4.

5 /5 Li J: Nice place for a late unplanned dinner at almost 9. We got the chips and salsa, a ceviche dish, and the CDMX taco, all are really good. The rice dish is a bit too salty to our taste. Service is superb.

5 /5 Ron Pineda: We had a great lunch at Puesto. The Palomas were amazing and the short rib enchiladas absolutely delicious! Even the tortilla chips and guacamole were amazing! The service and ambiance are excellent. The only thing I didn’t like was them trying to tack on a 4% surcharge on the bill. I asked our server about it and she said they do that because of the increase in minimum wage, but it’s optional so I asked her to please take it off which she graciously did. Their prices are already very high, and they want to add another charge on top of that too??

5 /5 Kevin Kao: Really delicious food. Cali bowl ingredients were very fresh and well seasoned. The steak especially was perfect.
