Known for our award-winning Mexican cuisine, signature crispy melted cheese tacos, and margaritas, we're bringing a little taste of Mexico City and Southern California to Music City.

From California to Nashville: The Puesto Story
Every family has recipes. Ours became Puesto.
In 2012, five brothers opened the first Puesto in La Jolla, California, inspired by the food they grew up eating, their love of Mexico City, and a shared passion for bringing people together around great food.
Fourteen years later, we're bringing that same spirit to Nashville.
At Puesto Nashville Yards, you'll find the dishes that made us a California favorite, a vibrant atmosphere inspired by Mexico City, and plenty of reasons to stay for another round.
