About Puerta

Puerta brings Mexican cuisine paired with the freshest ingredients and classic techniques. Our exceptional culinary team is built from a wide variety of culinary experience and knowledge that focuses on unique flavor, nostalgia and approachability. We source many ingredients from Mexico including spirits. Mezcal and tequila will be the focal point in Puerta’s bar program. Whether it is a fresh juiced Margaritas or a pour of Mezcal that you may have never heard of, you can find it here. Late night lounging with a DJ driven atmosphere, or a night out before the night out, we hope that you will join us to experience all that is Puerta.
