Puesto Introduces “Girl Dinner” Wednesdays
03.15.26
Puesto is giving Wednesdays a new reason to celebrate with the launch of Girl Dinner, a weekly midweek special designed for a fun and relaxed night out.
Available every Wednesday from 3 p.m. to close, Girl Dinner is served on a gold tray and priced at $40 per guest. The chef curated offering includes a Puesto Perfect Margarita, the restaurant’s Baja Fish taco and Filet Mignon taco, along with Puesto Perfect Guacamole and Chips for a well rounded meal.
The Baja Fish taco features wild caught Baja fish served on Puesto’s signature organic, non GMO blue corn tortilla. The Filet Mignon taco highlights tender steak with crispy melted cheese. Freshly made guacamole and house fried chips round out the spread.
The new offering joins Puesto’s lineup of weekly specials and gives guests another reason to gather for a midweek meal. Girl Dinner is available at all Puesto locations. For more information, visit eatpuesto.com.
Puesto recently made another notable move by removing industrial seed oils from its kitchens, becoming the first Mexican restaurant group to operate entirely seed oil free.
Since opening its first Southern California location in 2012, Puesto has focused on ingredient quality, from hand pressed organic, non GMO blue corn tortillas to wild caught Baja fish and wild Mexican shrimp. In 2022, the restaurant introduced an additive free tequila program. Most recently, Puesto eliminated seed oils from its kitchens. Fried menu items are now prepared with Seed Oil Scout approved RSPO certified sustainable palm oil, while non fried items use extra virgin olive oil, olive oil, or avocado oil.

What to Know About Medicare Before 65—Signing Up for Medicare
03.13.26
Signing up for Medicare is an important step in making sure you have the right health coverage at the right time as you approach age 65 or plan for retirement.
If you are already receiving Social Security benefits, you will be automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B starting the month you turn 65. If you need to delay Part B, you must actively decline that coverage.
If you are not receiving Social Security, you will need to sign up for Medicare on your own, and you can begin the process three months before your 65th birthday during your Initial Enrollment Period.
Your Initial Enrollment Period is a seven-month window that begins three months before your 65th birthday month and ends three months after your birthday month.
If you miss your Initial Enrollment Period, you can enroll during the General Enrollment Period, which runs from Jan. 1 through March 31 each year, with coverage beginning July 1.
You may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you delay Medicare because you are covered under an employer group health plan. This Special Enrollment Period begins when that coverage ends and lasts up to eight months.
Many people delay enrolling in Medicare at 65 because they are still working and have group health coverage. However, if your employer has fewer than 20 employees, you may be required to enroll in Medicare even if you are still working. It is important to check with your benefits administrator to understand how your employer coverage works with Medicare so you can avoid gaps in coverage or unexpected issues.
You can enroll in Medicare in person, over the phone or online through the Social Security Administration by visiting www.ssa.gov/benefits/medicare or calling 1-800-772-1213.
Important forms that may be required include the CMS-40B application for enrollment in Medicare Part B and the CMS-L564 request for employment information.
If you have any questions about Medicare, whether for yourself or for a family member, please feel free to reach out to me.
