    Coctel de camaron
    Kathy R.

    Food was delicious and service was good. They did not hold back in filling the plate. No complaints.

    Loved the food! The service was amazing and I honestly loved eating here 10/10.The prices are also very affordable and reasonable for the amount they give you.The ambiance was very lovely loved the way everyone would ask for help

    Huevos a la Mexicana
    Dulse Natalie M.

    I've been here before, food is good. I got the VAMPIRE tacos. Yes you read that correct Vampire tacos, which have cheese, the meat of choice, guacamole, cilantro and onions. See when they said cheese I expected the cheese they use on a quesadilla, stringy. But to my surprise it was a hamburger krafts white cheese! I don't know if they ran out or it's really made with that cheese but that specific cheese made the tacos a bit salty. The tacos were good but every time I bit into it and it had cheese it was salty. It's a good idea but maybe a different cheese would be better than a sandwich cheese. The tacos are small and priced at $2 each. 5/10 My mom tried huevos a la Mexicana and she said they were good and spicy. 8/10 This place isn't that clean. At first glance everything seems to be clean but as you sit there waiting to be served you start noticing that it's not so clean. Cleanliness 3/10 Service 5/10 Food taste 6/10 Price 8/10 Location 8/10 (inside a swap meet Aka flea market) Over all 5.6/10

    The fountain drink machine that she could have served my son from

    (Long detailed review) I had the worst experience today at this restaurant! I went to have lunch with my kids the lady who sat us seemed nice at first but as our lunch continued i noticed a few things that were kind of odd and dont know if it's me over reacting or if we were treated differently by this one server. So first off she asked what we would like to drink we order 2 waters and a sprite . Nothing was unusual until she brought us 2 warm bottled waters and a can of Sprite . No big deal, right ? Well, i was confused at first because everyone in the restaurant had Styrofoam cups with drinks in them . So i asked her for cups with ice she brings them, but what i want to understand is why she did not give us water from the fountain drink machine or soda from the machine . I saw a man come to the register with a cup asking for water, and she filled it up with the cold water, and he didn't pay he said, "Thank you to her, and leave ... so i thought it was odd that she gave him free water and us warm bottled water and charged us for it and not that guy... when we were dining in there and are paying customers? So i said forget it not a big deal until i saw her bring other customers their soda with a cup and ice in it for their bottled soda ! Like what? Am i overreacting for how she treated us ? I mean, i paid my bill, but after noticing those things and how she made us feel, i did not leave a tip at all and will not be returning. (Pictures are of the water she served the guy from the water machine they have sitting next to the aguas frescas) (another pic of what we were served) and another pic of the soda fountain.

    La verdad llevo 2 años trabajando en el Swapmeet y siempre que ordeno enchiladas me las dan con casi nada de pollo , es la pura tortilla casi y sin salsa. Que coraje! Y el pollo que le ponen trae huesos . Que horror la verdad.

    Restaurant in the food court area. They have a good sized menu, but I would definitely recommend the shrimp cocktail since that is what I had. All food seemed good that everyone else had in my group.

She explained the menu thoroughly, answered all of our questions, and was very honest when helping us order, especially when it came to portion sizes.

Because of her outstanding customer service, I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would happily come back again!

I used to work here years ago so I know how much care goes into the food & drinks. The Puesto Perfect Margarita is still my favorite margarita I've ever had. Everything is made fresh & you can absolutely taste the difference. I always order mine with a sugar rim. It's consistently refreshing, balanced & incredibly smooth. We stopped by on a Monday around 4:30 p.m. just before happy hour ended. It was nice & relaxed when we arrived. It only started getting a little busier as we were leaving. We took advantage of happy hour & ordered a few favorites. The potato taquitos have been one of my go-to menu items for years & are just as delicious as I remembered. Crispy on the outside, flavorful inside & served over a generous bed of fresh guacamole that makes every bite even better. We also tried one of the newer happy hour items the short rib mini burrito served with a green sauce. Both my husband & I really enjoyed it. The short rib was tender & the sauce added the perfect amount of brightness. I was happily snacking on the chips with the molcajete salsa. It's one of my favorite restaurant salsas. I also love the chips with Puesto Perfect guacamole. It makes it hard to stop eating. Since it was my birthday I treated myself to a Tropical Candy Shot. If you like bold flavors definitely order one. It reminded me of a Mexican street candy in shot form with a Tajín rim & a pineapple garnish. It was festive, flavorful & the perfect birthday treat. The sweetest surprise of the evening was the complimentary birthday dessert. A slice of pistachio tres leches cake. I love tres leches but I've never had a pistachio version before. It was incredibly moist & rich without being too heavy. The pistachios added the perfect crunch & nutty flavor. It was one of the highlights of the meal. One small detail I always appreciate is that they bring a pitcher of water to the table. This makes it easy to refill your glass throughout the meal without waiting. It's a thoughtful touch that makes the dining experience feel more comfortable. I'm so glad we came back after not visiting for quite a while. I love the consistently amazing margaritas, delicious happy hour menu, & warm hospitality. The thoughtful birthday surprise made it even better. It was a wonderful way to celebrate. I'll definitely be back! If you're visiting for the first time do yourself a favor & order the Puesto Perfect Margarita & potato taquitos. Also save room for the pistachio tres leches if it's available.

I usually have enough leftovers to take home and have for lunch the next day. Parking is a bit sparse, but there's residential spots available next door and within walking distance (as well as my favorite romance bookstore, Heartbound Bookshop). All their dishes are made to order, so please have some grace and be patient with their kitchen. As I always say, you can't rush perfection!

    I visited today because we were in the area and were craving menudo. The restaurant was busy, but…read morewe were seated right away, which was a plus. The agua de melón was delicious, and the side of beans was excellent. We also ordered a plain quesadilla, and it was surprisingly really good. The menudo itself was just okay--not bad, but nothing special. The reason I'm giving 2 stars isn't because the staff were rude, but they definitely weren't friendly or welcoming. My biggest concern, however, was what I witnessed with the condiments. When you order menudo, they bring a plate with limes, onions, and chili. I watched two employees clear tables, throw away some items, but keep the unused onions and uncut lime wedges from customers' plates and take them back into the kitchen to be served again. Even if I didn't use all of the onions or limes, that doesn't mean I didn't touch them. Reusing food that has already been on a customer's table is unsanitary and unacceptable. After seeing that, it made me wonder whether other items, like leftover chips, might also be reused. Whether or not that's the case, what I witnessed was enough to make me lose confidence in their food handling practices. Unfortunately, I won't be returning

    Review #1,082 Posted on 7.8.26…read more We stopped in here for a late night burrito & quesadilla on Sunday night the 5th after driving up from the Bay prior & getting checked into our room. This spot is located in a small strip mall shortly off the freeway on La Palma Ave in Anaheim. The food was really good, I was impressed with the meat portions in our burritos & quesadilla. There was a ton of meat. Both the red & green salsas were hot but still edible too. The rice & beans were quality as well. Highly recommend hitting this local spot up as they stay open late, and serve quality food.

I asked for their Birria tacos, the lady said this location doesn't have the Birria menu. Which is weird because other Yelpers posting a pic of their menu and it's their Birria menu. But alright. I proceeded to order and asked for their street tacos. She didn't tell me this is a cash only location also. So I went to go pick up/pay and when I go in to pay the man says, "cash only." I offered debit card, tap, Zelle. Nope. Cash only. Sucks they don't tell you over the phone. It's not advertised online either. I don't know what it is about this location. But imma keep my business at the Whittier location where they're friendly, offer their Birria menu, and other ways to pay.

    Cool spot with some great margaritas and cocktails!…read more Love this little Mexican restaurant located on the bottom floor of the Packing House. Came in for a little date night on a Saturday evening. The whole staff was friendly and accommodating, always quick to refill drinks or clear empty plates. We started off with some delicious and spicy oysters which were topped with a shrimp! We also had to try the Chori-brussels which are flash fried Brussels sprouts with chorizo, balsamic reduction, and Oaxacan cheese. For drinks we got a Santo Dia, a whiskey based cocktail with watermelon, lime, and fizz served over ice. We also ordered the Spicy margarita which had watermelon habanero, lime, and hibiscus flavors. They were both delicious and refreshing, the spicy marg had a good kick to it. For dinner we got a caesar salad, the ribeye plate, and the Urbana burger. We both loved the dressing on the caesar, it's made in house and it shows. The ribeye was cooked perfectly with a delicious herb butter on top, a really good steak sauce on the side, and thick cut fries. The ribeye wasn't the highest quality but it tasted good, the fries were perfect. My fiancé got the burger which had chorizo, melted queso Oaxaca, and an egg on top. Not gonna lie it was absolutely delish! I want to come back just for the burger. All in all we had a great time and I would definitely come back for some other menu items, especially to try more of their margs and specialty cocktails. Thanks Urbana!

It's on the first level of the packing district. It's a small spot but they make effective use of their space. There were people there but it wasn't full. It took a really long time for our waiter to take our order. We each ordered two tacos from their special and I tried the spicy margarita and my friend had the sangria. The spicy margarita wasn't my favorite and I found that it was wayyyy too spicy. The spicy really overpowered the alcohol and other flavors. The presentation for the drinks was beautiful but the flavor didn't do it for me. My friend didn't seem like she liked the sangria either. The tacos took a really long time to come out. The Al pastor pieces were cut into thick cubes. There was nothing memorable about the tacos. I really wanted to like this spot but it was a complete miss for me.
