SHEsaysWITHaSMILE.blogspot.com: Best Tacos of our lives! Puesto's in Santa Clara -pathway by sandra mickanen

Wednesday, June 24, 2026

path went something like this:

on our return home from puerto rico [blessed in every way, pix to come];

while at the san jose airport, i perused the literature rack with the curiosity of a tourist; not a local.

and i grabbed a handful of magazines featuring local to me areas; san jose, santa clara, campbell, los gatos..

one of the great results of glancing through each magazine was that i discovered a number of restaurants i had never heard of, or even knew existed..

and so, i tore out a few pages.. with the intent of eventually visiting each restaurant that intrigued me

restaurant #1 to visit: Puesto in Santa Clara
