Puesto Huntington Beach

It's a very nice place to eat or celebrate a special event. The value is ok. The food is tasty, although portions are small (probably the way we SHOULD eat). Service is great. I would go back and try other menu items.

Overall, you can't find much to fault the place. Great ambiance, wonderful staff, and delicious food. When I got the bill it was a bit steep, but only in certain items. You can get an entree that is fantastic and a very reasonable price. Their margaritas and cocktails, also very reasonable. The guacamole and sides are a bit overpriced for what you get. But that VERY small tid bit aside, you need to go here. Songs of glory could be written about their salsa. Try not to drink a whole bowl when they bring it out. And their Puesto Perfect Margarita is nothing short of perfection. Everything that hit the table was amazing. James, our server, was an absolute delight. He was so fun, made so many good recommendations, and just kept the whole evening relaxed and flowing perfectly. But there is one thing that I must note, and that is the overall class of the place. I showed up right at our reservation. It was not busy yet, and the hostess was more than happy to adjust our reservation from the original four to a party of five without even a question. She also was more than happy to let me hang out at the bar to wait for the rest of my party with a smile. The bartender happily transferred my tab to my table without issue. The staff was AMAZING. I wish I knew everyone's name, and they're the reason this place makes it worth recommending. Go here, have a great time, and enjoy a relaxing night. Even if you pay a bit too much for the guacamole and esquite (yup, took me two tries to pronounce it right), you won't be disappointed. The food is fantastic, the staff is wonderful, and the ambiance is relaxed and happy. I rarely have such a great experience going out to eat.

Decor is a 5 star. Beautiful curb appeal with stunning bar and seating areas for instagram. Food is terrible, salty and cold. They didn't have a few menu items which is odd bc they have a smaller menu. Service was average. Coffee was bitter and it's called a Oaxaca coffee which it is absolutely not. Drinks were either super salty, super sweet or bland. Overpriced and underwhelming.

This was our first visit to Marila's Mexican Restaurant and we were amazed. The interior was beautiful. The patio area was very nice as well. Tremendous service. Our meals were incredible. Very fair prices. I highly recommend you try Marila's.

Service was lacking. This was my second time visiting. My first visit was exemplary. Service was great, food was good. This time around our server took our order and then we didn't see him again. Other staff members brought our food and the front hostess stepped in with water refills but we ended up having to even flag her down and waited 20 min to get out bill.
