Puesto – Mexican
Puesto pulses with a vibrant energy where the air is thick with the scent of toasted chiles and the rhythmic crunch of house-made chips dipped into smoky molcajete salsa. Artfully plated mounds of jewel-toned guacamole and zesty passionfruit shrimp ceviche share the table with golden, crispy tacos and flautas that celebrate the bold, soulful flavors of modern Mexican street food. It is a lively destination where every bite—from the comforting warmth of chilaquiles to the delicate snap of a potato taquito—transports diners to a sun-drenched coastal escape.
