    Seafood tacos
    Gabriela M.

    The food was really good . They have great service and nice ambiance. 10/10 would totally recommend!

    Shrimp empanada
    Phi D.

    First time coming here and I had a lunch with a good friend of mine and this was a mid point for the both of us. Omg was this place such a hidden gem! Food came out within minutes from ordering and everything is made in house including the tortilla chips. Their sauce to compliment with the chips are also homemade. They have all sauce to accommodate your level of spice intensity. I tried every one of it and there was no bad one. Just different preferences! The shrimp was butterfly cut and you definitely can taste the freshness. They are huge and was very generous in the amount they gave. Cost was only $22. Avocado was fresh and you can definitely taste the difference. I couldn't rate the shrimp empanada because I was too full after my meal and will eat it later, 10/10 for quality of food The ambiance is super fun and very uplifting. Can definitely bring few friends here. They have few tables that holds up to 6 and some dine in booths holding 4 people. The customer service was great! We kept being followed up to ensure we were being taken care of. I really appreciate how everything came together and will definitely be coming back

    Comida muy rica y fresca muy sabroso servicio 10/10 bien agusto me pase aque despuse del juego de los angels !

    Quesitos

    Exceptional Food & Service! If you are looking for an incredible meal, you have to check this place out! From the moment you walk in, the customer service is top-notch--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious, but the real stars of the show are the quesitos. I'm obsessed with the shrimp and steak tacos; they are served on homemade tortillas with perfectly melted cheese. Every bite is packed with flavor. This place is so good had to write a review since this is our fourth time coming back.

    Shrimp ceviche and pescado ceviche delicious

    Fish taco

    From the parking lot, this place looks small, but when you step inside, it's huge!! Great for big groups. Our server was on top of her game. She was attentive and personable. She got our drink order and chips right away. She checked on us regularly, but not too much. We ordered shrimp ceviche, taco gobernador, oysters and fish taco. Each item was delicious. I asked for guacamole (not on the menu) but our waitress prepared it for us and it was perfect. They have music playing all the time, but it is not loud and overpowering. Good music, good service, good food. Come here!!!

    Marlin Taco
    Fabiola H.

    The new owners are very welcoming and helpful with all the suggestions. This place doesn't fail us every time we come. Fresh delicious seafood! I always order Shrimp ceviche tostadas and never go wrong with them. Campechanas are delicious and fulfilling. Their fresh waters are a must when you come here! We always order the fresh Lemonade water and also the coconut water. They are very refreshing! Today we tried the Marlin taco with cheese and it was tasty! This is a nice relaxing place to bring your family.

    *Under new ownership since 2024 My husband and I would come here when we're dating, we stopped coming for a while but heard it was under new management and it's soooo good! We had tacos de marlin, tacos gobernador, ceviche de pescado and camarón. The service was great. Our waitress was on top of service and very friendly. The food was great and the chilito with the tacos was the cherry on top!

    Amazing service and great food. We will definitely be back. Our favorites are the tacos de pulpo, campechana, and of course, their micheladas.

    Aguachile tostada
    Kenen A.

    5$ tacos , 5$ tostadas de pulpo, pescado, o camaron to start off. Food was fresh and they had a great variety of sauces. The service was great and is under new management the staff makes you feel at home and they actually enjoy talking to you. They have a jukebox playing music making it an overall positive experience in my opinion. Gracias Emer por el buen servicio will be back again!

    Taco de gobernador y taco de marlin
    Mariel A.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Licenciado, and I can confidently say it has AMAZING seafood! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly service with cultured music (Sinaloa style, IYKYK). The menu was a seafood lover's dream - fresh, diverse, and creatively prepared. I was surprised to see that they had tacos. The tacos are marlin, fish, shrimp and tacos gobernador (which are my absolute favorite.) My family is from Sinaloa is the is the closest I've gotten to authentic taste. Will definitely be returning.

    I've been coming here since 2011 and it's such a solid great mariscos spot. Very reasonably priced and just all around. I highly recommend trying them out.

Not just…read morebecause the food was delicious, as usual, but because we had the incredible fortune of having Scotty as our server. Scotty took what was already a great date night and made it truly memorable. Not only was he the best server we've had since we started dining at Puesto, but I'd go so far as to say he was one of the best servers I've ever had anywhere. Scotty had a calm, understated demeanor that was part of his charm. He was genuine, attentive, extraordinarily kind, and somehow managed to keep my Diet Coke with lime full the entire evening. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and was always there at just the right moment. Best of all, he laughed at my dad jokes. While the food was outstanding, Scotty made the experience even better. His service elevated an already great meal into an exceptional evening. We will absolutely be requesting Scotty's section every time we visit Puesto Anaheim.

They say other parties before us and we had to still stand and wait even with a reservation The restaurant itself is so beautiful! Great spot for dinner with the family!

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

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!
