- MMarioVIPLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFood was good and drinks were great. I wish I knew the bar back’s name that assisted at the bar where we sat. He was very helpful and attentive to my wife and I throughout our visit. The Cadillac Margarita was good, however I think it’s a little over priced. That would be my only issue.More infoPuesto Mission ValleyPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Mission Valley•4.6

- JJackieLos Angeles •17 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoExcellent food and service. They used to be almost exclusively tacos, but they have now added some other items like burritos and enchiladas. All of the flavors are unique and delicious. I especially love the crispy cheese layer on a lot of the tacos. I wish they had more chicken tacos. My favorite taco now is the chicken al pastor. They have had a couple of chicken ones (even one just recently) and they were delicious.More infoPuesto La JollaPrice: Moderate• Mexican• La Jolla•4.7
