“This is the first time I went there the food was excellent I couldn't wait to get home to eat it it smelled so good all the way home the people were awesome they're very nice and friendly and the food was awesome I never make a comment about anything but today I had to and I'll be back there again for sure I ordered the shrimp scampi and parmesan meatballDietary restrictions: I had the meatball Parmesan it's supposed to have ricotta in it but I couldn't have it so I asked him if they could remove it and they said yes that works for me“
“Well, well, well…Don’t you love it when you’ve discovered a new fave place? This was our first time dining at Puente, and as we tend to do, we TRIED to explore the menu, but there is so much to choose from - fantastic selections because of a varied menu. Firstly, before I get to the food, as a Plant Mama, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the presence of so many houseplants. Just gorgeous, healthy plants that you can tell are loved.We came for happy hour, but tapped into the dinner menu too. Dillon provided excellent service throughout, the wait for our meal components was appropriate, the music was at just the right volume and created the right Latino vibe. We tried sweet fried plantains, yucca fries, guac and salsa, (the chips are fantastic - you know it’s hard to find THE perfect chip!!) the carne asada, red beans and rice, and the Papi Chulo. ??????. Absolutely no room for dessert, which we regret. Sipped on several margaritas between us and I tried the Cocuito-tini - so, so good. We’ll be back soon!“
“Haven’t been here in a while and my friend was taking me for lunch for my birthday. First and foremost our waitress Dawn was one of the most amazing waitress I ever had. She was so attentive and great sense of humor. Got our orders right out to us and the food was fantastic! The prices reasonable and I will be going back A+“
“Who knew this local bar has a legit Taco Tuesday!??Located on West Main St in Meriden is Maloney's Pub. Sad to say I have lived here for 20+ years and just started going to this establishment. I was missing out. Bar staff is very nice, provide good service. Drink prices are reasonable and they have mostly any liquor you want. If they don't they will order it for the next time you go! I knew they served food but general go after the kitchen is closed (after 10pm). I went on a Tuesday and overheard someone ordering tacos. I ordered 2 chicken tacos. So good! The ingredients were so fresh and chicken was seasoned perfectly. I am a huge fan of salsa verde and this was the best I've had. Tacos were $2 a piece & draft beers are $3 on Tuesday. Good food, cheap night!“
“Sat at the bar and shared a couple of beers. Our bartender was very attentive, and checked up on us frequently. The bar area was clean and so was the bathroom. We came at an off time so it wasn’t busy. It was nice that day, they had the garage doors open with some tables sitting in that entry way. A bit too chilly for me, but some people were taking advantage of the fresh air. We didn’t have any food.“
“The dirty wings are absolutely amazing! I was raised in western new york and I really happened to enjoy chicken wings when they are good. I don't get them too often now as I am very skeptic. I was visiting in town and read about these dirty wings over there. They are the real deal.I like my wings crunchy.They did that and they had some sticky to them.It was kind of nice.I got the Buffalo style.They were a medium "heat" , as advertised. One thing I am very particular about is blue cheese. Blue cheese can make or break the chicken wings if they are anywhere on the fence, which these wings are not on the fence, they are down right good. The blue cheese is the real deal.It was delicious. I also ordered a Reuben.It was okay.It was kind of dry for me and didn't have enough thousand island dressing for sure. I've been on a Rubin streek for the last few weeks on the road and this one kind of struck out. The wings were incredible though really. The order too a bit longer than I anticipated with the time I was given. It was not a huge deal as the gift shop is pretty neat and the young lady working in there was very kind and helped pass the time through conversation. It was a pretty happening place in the bar and restaurant area a good place to be with a group. Good vibe for sure.“
