Owned and operated by a Mexican American family whose best memories all include tacos, Puesto is an award-winning Mexican Artisan Kitchen & Bar providing an innovative approach to authentic Mexican flavors. Puesto has garnered national acclaim for its Mexico City-style crispy melted cheese tacos, served on handmade non-GMO, organic, maíz azul stone-ground tortillas.

In addition to tacos, offerings include a selection of fresh catch ceviches, guacamoles, starters and ensaladas, courtesy of Chef/Partner Luisteen Gonzales. The bar program showcases the best of Mexico City through the use of fresh ingredients in our hand crafted cocktails and housemade Micheladas, tequilas, mezcals, house-brewed beers, and Valle de Guadalupe wines you can’t find elsewhere

We’re honored to have been featured by media outlets nationally and internationally, some of which include National Geographic, Huffington Post, Refinery 29, MSN, Insider, Zagat, Eater, Food and Wine, and LA Times.

Very good food. Beautiful outdoor setting. Good drinks. Pretty pricy for what you actually get. No real complaints apart from that.

100% a must go if you are in the area. Salsas, guac, and tacos were all absolutely amazing. Our waitress, Rachel, was very nice and attentive, even with it so busy. We had a great time.

Food was excellent. Service was underwhelming. Server (Melanie) rang up my card under someone else’s table/check. I think she was new. Poured us water and poured all over the table. Someone needs to teach her the twist and pour technique at table side.

The drinks were great. We had classic margs. The guac was also very good. The mains were lackluster and expensive. The grilled fish taco had little to no flavor. The tortillas were cold. We ordered corn to share and it came out 5+ mins before our tacos so it was also cold by the time we ate.

The tacos and margaritas are outstanding. We are also big fans of the perfect guacamole with pecorino Romano cheese. Our severs were also phenomenal with excellent suggestions. We will return when we are in San Diego again.
