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 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.
