“As always, the editing is first class; this is most important since editing gives credibility to the publication and pleasure to the reader and the contributor. (…) I know of only one journal that compares with Puentes, and that is Ventana Abierta edited by the eminent Professor Luis Leal and his colleague Professor (Victor) Fuentes at the University of California at Santa Barbara.”
-Rolando Hinojosa-Smith, Ellen Clayton Garwood Professor, The University of Texas

“Es en verdad [Puentes] una revista muy atractiva y con una solidez profesional realmente impresionante”.
-Alfonso Rodríguez, Profesor Emeritus, University of Northern Colorado

“I want to congratulate you as editor and all of your colleagues and supporters who have contributed to producing a professional journal of real distinction. (…) I find in your journal both a higher quality of literary expression and a deeper and more mature historical and social consciousness.”
-Michael P. Predmore, Professor of Modern Hispanic Literature, Stanford University

“Es muy saludable, que Puentes refleje un equilibrio perfecto en relación a nuestro quehacer, académico universitario, bilingüe inglés y español; otorgue correspondencia a la vez, conjuntamente, en nuestro mundo artístico chicano, en plena efervescencia”.
-Miguel Méndez, Profesor Emérito, University of Arizona

“Please know I have enjoyed both the literary texts and the interviews with prominent Chicano writers and critics (…). From who these individuals are, I can tell that your journal serves as a bridge, as well, between the separate generations of creative and literary commentators.”
-Tino Villanueva, Professor of Spanish, Boston University
