For dinner, the highlight is the sizzling Fajitas Fundidas, perfect for sharing between two guests. Indulge in chipotle and tamarind glazed Mushrooms, achiote-marinated Chicken Pastor, tomatillo and garlic-marinated Ribeye, jumbo Mexican Shrimp, or the Surf & Turf combination of Shrimp and Ribeye. The menu also boasts Puesto's famous tacos, enveloped in crispy melted cheese and served with a range of mouthwatering fillings, handmade tortillas, and scratch salsas.
Marila's Mexican doesn't stop at lunch and dinner. Experience an exciting Weekend Brunch featuring Mexican breakfast classics with a twist.
