La Puente Mexican Restaurant

Everything we had there was remarkably flavorless, with the exception of the appetizer salsa. My chicken flautas had been overcooked almost to the point of being inedible. The "shredded beef" in my mom's taco salad tasted like canned stew meat. (Not even good canned stew meat.) Cannot believe this place was packed with people waiting. My reluctant conclusion must be that people who are frightened of any kind of authenticity or seasoning must love this place, or they all came because of the coupon like we did. Looking at the other reviews, I can only assume that something happened between 2009 and now to make this restaurant terrible. Or that the fans of La Puente are just clueless blandaholics. There are dozens of superior places to get all kinds of Mexican food. Roll that coupon they sent in your Val-U-Pak mailer and eat it like a twizzler- it'll be more satisfying than your meal at La Puente. more

I read the 2 reviews and decided to go for lunch. My husband and I asked for the thrusday special; "pork" burrito, "beef" enchilada for $7 including drink. The burrito had a thick flour tortilla with a layer of refried beans instead of pork as filling and 3 cubes of hard pork with a sauce topping it. The "beef enchilada" was filled with red enchilada sauce and a little cheese. I honestly could not eat it even though I was so hungry. I felt so frustrated...and I was frustrated enough to right this review, something I have never done before. So watch out for the thrusday special at this place more

Our entire family was very happy when we found out that La Puente had opened up in Draper.We have eaten at a lot of Mexican Restaurants in Utah... but La Puente by far has the best tasting food with great service and the entire staff is very friendly!! Pros: Anwsome Food & Great Service. more

The smothered Chile Verde Burrito's are excellent. Having a location in Draper makes it easy for my family to go there more often. They also have catering and a website that has a menu on it for takeout orders. www.lapuentdrapercom Pros: Great location and atmosphere Cons: None more
