SHORT RIB BIRRIA (GF) – short rib, radish, onion, cilantro, Jalisco salsa, avocado, consomé

In addition to the new elements in Puesto’s culinary program, come new cocktails offerings, as the brand’s craft bar program continues to reach new heights. Beau du Bois, Puesto VP of Bar & Spirits, adds a refreshing Honeydew Mezcal Margarita and Ginger Margarita. Guests will also be able to experience a new Cadillac Margarita presentation, which features a mini bottle of Grand Marnier.
