Can only comment on the drinks for now, but we had a great time checking this place out! My boyfriend and I were anxiously waiting for this place to open since we moved into the building next door last year. We stopped in on Valentine's day around 5PM. It was pretty empty when we first got there but got packed pretty quickly. We sat at the bar and ordered a margarita for 2. Complimentary chips and salsa were nice to snack on with our drinks. Second round of drinks, we got the strawberry frozen margarita and a Hurricaine. Of note, the drink menu that they gave us in the restaurant was a little more basic than the one on their website, but I'm sure the bartender can customize orders if you asked. The margaritas are SO delicious...I think it's the liquor they splash in at the end that gives it such a nice taste. Also love the big, fancy glasses that all the drinks come in. The bartenders were so friendly...introduced themselves to each person at the bar and tried to remember everyone's names. At the end, we were really surprised at how affordable our check came out to be. Margarita for 2 was only $12 and a lot of the food items looked reasonably priced for what you get. We weren't hungry enough to get food this time, but the dishes looked really delicious with generous portions.
It's hard not to compare this place to Barrio and Zocalo that are so close by. Seems like Puente is a little more chic and trendy than Zocalo, with a focus on more traditional mexican food compared to Barrio. So happy that this place finally opened up!
