Everything about this restaurant is absolutely amazing. From the service to the atmosphere to The friendly smiles and the food, my gosh the food. Stop what you’re doing and come here now because this place is amazing. Me and my husband split the choose three we got the sopes the quesa birria taco and the enchilada. Plus a few margaritas. ❣️ I will have cravings and dreams about this food. They have a location in Southern California Long Beach called Luna and another one in Northern California. Go here and you won’t be disappointed. Plus we have been traveling all day. Staying at the local koa, this is the best treat.

The Food is Phenomenal. I have gone multiple time now and everything has been exquisite. I highly would recommend the Carnitas Michoacán or the Mar y Tierra. Pricing is more than fair for the quality of food you’re getting.

I wish there was an option to give this restaurant 6 stars. The decor is stunning and the atmosphere is an absolute vibe. The food? Some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Flavors so well put together my family was giving each other bites of each other’s food. This place is a gem and our waiter George made excellent recommendations. Our new spot for Mexican food.

What a hidden little gem we recently discovered in close proximity to the 99 freeway so you have no excuse not to pop in while passing through. If you are a local, like us you are sure to be a repeat customer. We went on a Friday and were surprised to see a lunch buffet with a wide range of food items. There was No Wait for a table and Esmeralda took care of us. The wait staff seems to be on top of bringing the food out while it’s still very hot! The fresh tortilla station Hecho a mano (handmade) was a huge plus giving this restaurant a feature that stands out from the rest! I ordered molé chicken enchiladas with beans and rice with café de La Jolla (delish) and Steve ordered the chorizo con huevo scrambled and beans and potatoes with fresh corn tortillas. We will be back and bring our families with us next time. They have a huge bar with a busy bartender, Miguel mixing cocktails as the orders come in. The music (for my taste), was a bit loud for those who want a meal and conversation but it definitely lends to the cheerful vibe and who doesn’t like that? Though you could make out different music blasting from the kitchen as well. We will be back. Enjoy some of the photos I snapped. The presentation was tastefully done.

Wow—this place was a surprising gem! I visited El Puesto Cocina and Lounge on White Lane with a party of four, and from the moment we arrived, we were impressed. Although it wasn’t busy when we got there, the staff seated us within 15 minutes. The environment was welcoming and vibrant, with a live band playing and an overall great vibe.
The staff were on point—friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the entire evening. They made sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us without being overbearing, which really added to the experience.
As for the food: I ordered the Mar y Tierra plate, and it was absolutely delicious—both the steak and shrimp were cooked to perfection. I would rate my dish a 5 out of 5. My mom ordered the basic enchiladas, which were okay but a bit dry inside, likely due to the way the sauce was added. My sister had a chile, bean, and cheese burrito plate, and my dad tried the bass plate with a cactus salad. Both were decent but not standout dishes—I’d rate those around 3 out of 5.
The handmade tortillas were a great touch, and I thoroughly enjoyed the handcrafted margaritas. I tried the mango & chamoy margarita and the Jamaica margarita—both were flavorful, refreshing, and perfectly balanced.
In short, El Puesto impressed us with its ambiance, service, drinks, and standout dishes. I’d definitely return, especially if I’m passing through the area again. It’s a spot worth visiting for the vibes alone!

Truly can’t say enough good things about this place. From the ambiance to the service to the amazing food, everything was top notch. Perfect blend of unique and authentic entrees, with hearty portions. Definitely looking forward to multiple return visits in the future.

The food was really good. Could have used more rice and beans. I received very little and wasn’t full when I finished. The carnitas were very good and received a good amount, just needed a little more rice and beans. Homemade corn tortillas were large and very good. Not too thick like most places. The service could have been better. They weren’t very busy and forgot plates, tortillas and even some drinks. My water or tea were never refilled. Super nice atmosphere but the wonky tables need to be fixed. My tables was lopsided. One end was about 3 inches taller than the other end. As far as prices, figure on $20 and up per person. Bartender was awesome and made all my drinks very well. Nothing watered down and mixed well. Very nice selection of alcohol and was able to make my drink with my preferred bourbon. The music was a bit too loud but bearable. Overall, very nice. We will be back. I don’t like the automatic 18% gratuity for party of 6 or more. Gratuity should be based on service and the service we receive didn’t deserve 18%.

Today was my first time coming here. The place is beautiful. I was excited to try the brunch buffet but was surprised to learn it was only Sundays now. The food was good however my order wasnt complete. The drink was good but too strong. We did not like how the server hardly came to the table. And our checks weren’t shown to us before paying. Overall I would give it another try.

I had an amazing experience at this
restaurant. The food tastes truly authentic—fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and recipes that feel homemade. Every dish was prepared with care, from the perfectly seasoned meats to the delicious handmade tortillas.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made the whole visit even better with their friendly service. If you’re looking for real Mexican food that reminds you of traditional home-style cooking, this place is a must-try.
Highly recommended! ✨
