Puesto Nashville Pop-Up Events: Get a Taste Before the Grand Opening
Nashville, get ready to meet Puesto before the doors officially open. Ahead of its highly anticipated grand opening this Fall, Puesto Nashville is hosting two exclusive pop-up dinners around the city and giving locals a first taste of the award-winning Mexican restaurant's signature tacos, margaritas, and more. If you've heard the buzz about Puesto's California roots and want to see what all the hype is about, these two nights are your chance.
Puesto Nashville Pop-Up Schedule
Mark your calendars as these are limited, one-night-only events:
- Monday, August 10 | 5:00 PM — Puesto Pop-Up at Sauced Nashville
- Tuesday, August 11 | 5:00 PM — Puesto Pop-Up at Henrietta Red
Both pop-ups kick off at 5 PM, so plan to arrive early — these events tend to draw a crowd fast, especially with a new restaurant opening buzz building across Nashville's food scene.
What Is Puesto?
Puesto is an award-winning, family-owned Mexican restaurant with locations across California, known for its modern take on Mexico City-style cuisine — or as they call it, Mexicano Moderno. Every taco starts with organic, non-GMO blue corn tortillas made in-house daily, a tradition that traces back thousands of years. Add in Puesto's celebrated margarita program and small-batch Puesto Cervecería beers, and it's easy to see why the brand has built such a loyal following on the West Coast — and why Nashville has been eagerly anticipating its arrival.
Menu Favorites to Try at the Pop-Ups
While the full opening menu will debut with the Nashville location, expect these Puesto crowd-pleasers to make an appearance at the pop-up events:
Tacos
- Filet Mignon Taco — Puesto's award-winning taco wrapped in signature crispy melted cheese
Guacamole & Shareables
- Puesto Perfect Guac + Chips — the table-starter no one skips
- Ceviche and tostada options highlighting fresh seafood
Margaritas
Puesto's drink program is built around premium, additive-free tequilas and fresh-squeezed citrus.
- Mango — El Tequileño reposado tequila, mango, fresh lime, Tajín rim
- Neon Cactus — 818 blanco tequila, prickly pear cordial, fresh lime, cactus salt rim
Why You Shouldn't Miss These Pop-Ups
Pop-up events like these are the best way to experience a new restaurant's food and hospitality before the official opening rush. You'll get a preview of the flavors, meet the team, and enjoy an intimate setting at two of Nashville's own beloved restaurants — Sauced Nashville and Henrietta Red — before Puesto has its own doors open in the city.
