Puesto

Rangeen Kitchen

Rangeen Kitchen

Puesto is a Mexican Artisan Restaurant owned and operated by a Mexican American family. Come enjoy our handmade blue corn tortillas, award-winning tacos, burritos with crispy melted cheese, handmade salsas, perfect margaritas and more.

Rangeen Kitchen

Rangeen Kitchen

Rangeen Kitchen

Rangeen is the amalgamation of two worlds- Indian and California. Rangeen means colorful and we are pleased to bring the colors of fresh and flavorful food on your plate. Our masalas or spice blends are made in house and the spices are freshly roasted in small batches. That's what gives the clean and unique flavors to our food. Our food is traditional North Indian  and very close to home. 

The Crack Shack

Rangeen Kitchen

The Crack Shack

 The Crack Shack originally started as a passion project to transform the pristine, local ingredients from the founding team's fine dining restaurant into a more accessible, casual setting. The secret sauce behind the crave-able "SoCal Fried Chicken" is the non-GMO, "beyond free range" birds fresh from Jidori Farms used in our unique sandwiches, bowls, & more.
