treeJuly 6, 2014A must stop in La Jolla. Outstanding street tacos- filet mingon, mahi mahi, carnitas, al pastor, shrimp- grilled cheese in the homemade tortillas & the mole is so savory. pair with a street fruit cup.
Mosh RahmanMarch 12, 2019Best Tacos ever!! I've had Mexican food and tacos my entire life, these might be the tacos I've ever tasted. It's been Voted "Best Tacos in San Diego" for a reason. Seriously must try
Simone CzechAugust 8, 2017Hands down best Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico. The Horchata rocks and get the al pastor tacos and Zucchini ones are wonderful as well. Highly recommend
Adrian BalaguerOctober 13, 2014This place is nice and cosy! Especially the outside part. The ceviche is excellent, the fish is fresh and the preparation tasty and spicy! The potato taco was a bit too sweet for me but still tasty!
Cosmo CatalanoApril 13, 2018Playful, fun tacos, boisterous environment. Go on Tuesday for the Taco Tuesday discount!
Brad HagerMay 21, 2018GREAT tacos, with a lot of choices. Get two or three different ones. The Esquite (grilled corn) is a MUST, so good. A little pricey for tacos but still worth it. Nice, trendy ambiance.
Adrian ChenJuly 26, 2014ONE of the best taco places I've ever been to. The selection of tacos are plenty. You would think that one plate of 3 tacos might not be enough, but they sure are filling tacos. GET FROZEN HORCHATA.
TheDLFebruary 17, 2015Tacos, in this order: Filet Mignon, Chicken al Pastor, Lobster, Chicken Verde. Esquite side. Decent Happy Hour weekly - $3 tacos, $5 margaritas; $2 tacos, $3 cans XX, $5 margaritas on #tacoteusday
Jo PackerAugust 2, 2015Fantastic fresh street style tacos. Lovely little restaurant, great vibe and decor. Helpful staff. Highly recommend. Taco sliders are a great way to explore different combos
Rachel ReaganAugust 8, 2014The most amazing tacos I have ever had. So many choices, and amazingly fresh ingredients. And that soda fountain! I am seriously heartbroken this is so far from where I live.
Karli ScottJuly 21, 2014They just started their full service restaurant and it's the best! I love their tacos and sangria. Get a bottle and share with a good friend! Definitely coming back!
Justin SullivanMay 14, 2016Taco Tuesday is awesome. $2.50 + the up charge on specials (filet, lamb, crab, etc). You'll be surprised at how good the zucchini cactus is.
James GuthrieJuly 26, 2014Fantastic, fresh tacos to make your body happy. Of the ones I've had, filet mignon is #1 and worth the upcharge, but chicken verde is right behind and regular priced.
Matt DavisAugust 23, 2015Even though every meat taco I got tasted like pork they were still good. It had great beers on tap and excellent service. 7 out of 10. It was also kind of pricey.
Blan SaagDecember 3, 2018You definitely should try the tamarindo shrimp taco! Amazing flavor!! And any margarita is also good
Levon MonteDecember 20, 2012So freaking good! Up there with Warhol's! The Pollo Al Pastor bowl and Soyrizo Potato Tacos are amazing! Great Indie music playing adds to the hip look and feel of Puesto.
Lord funkomatic Aka Captain EliNovember 25, 2013Authetic street tacos down to the handmade tortillas, with la Jolla prices. Worth every penny.... Can't put a price on freshness! Oh yeah....PS Dave Matthews band still sucks.
Melissa NashJanuary 2, 2016The chicken verde tacos were my favorite! Also, the piña colada is to die for!
Taco 1- grilled cheese, grass fed carne asada, potatoes w/ rajas. Taco 2 - shrimp, tinga de jamaica, mango habanero. Taco 3 - grilled cheese, chicken breast al pastor, pineapple!
jodijodijodiJuly 11, 2013You can mix and match different kinds of tacos. I got one carne asada and one carnitas - so good!
Come for the fresh, creative tacos and margaritas. Stay for the vibrant, modern and airy atmosphere with friendly service.
Chris TorrezNovember 3, 2014Tacos were very good. I had the fish, al pastor, and carnitas taco. Pretty pricey for three tacos. 12.96- James GuthrieJuly 26, 2014Margaritas are fresh squeezed and perfect. A pitcher of those with a bowl of IG-worthy guacamole makes for a great date.
La Jolla Blue BookFebruary 9, 2012Great Mexican street taco place with lots of Vegetarian choices for non-meat eaters like potatoes and chilies, potatoes and soy chorizo, corn truffle, and zucchini flower.
Amy LeighJanuary 24, 2020Food is fresh and amazing. Lunch deal two tacos an appetizer and dessert drink. A must stop
Eric VenkerJanuary 23, 2015Quiet bar with good margaritas and tacos. Some bartender staff can be slow, so grab a table and be waited on if you have trouble.
Peter McQueenAugust 30, 2016The tacos were good not great...but 30 bucks for 3 tacos and a beer with tip feels un-american.
- Ryan McLeodAugust 19, 2014Awesome veggie options. Fantastic place all around with good ambiance, fresh/simple food, and thoughtful design throughout.
Marta PriegoMarch 16, 2018Amazing carnitas and Gobernador tacos, campechana is also great, friendly customer service, highly recommended restaurant
TylerSeptember 23, 2014It sort of feels like a graphic designer cranked this chain out and doesn't quite belong... The micheladas and vegetarian tacos are where it's at.
Derek BlechingerAugust 13, 2014Brilliant but hard to describe. Comparable to Chipotle but... Better? And they've got an awesome drink menu for a taco shop.
Polina WeitzJune 11, 2017Awesome cocktails and margaritas! Tacos were delicous, and the guacamole is amazing!
Jenny PanosJuly 26, 2015Get the filet minon tacos! The tuna ones need some seasoning... But really good overall.
- Naveed SheikhApril 29, 2017Steak tacos and chicken Al pastor were great. As well as the corn. Wasn't a fan of the lamb.
Lisa Marie FalconeOctober 24, 2017Frozen horchata was amazing! Great vegetarian tacos ! Food was delicious
SalJuly 8, 2015If you want to try different tacos...this is the place! $2 taco tuesday with $3 dos equis can.
Ashley SwappSeptember 28, 2014Pretty much everything is good here. It's chipotle-style choose your own but with better branding and better selections.
So tasty. So fresh and delicious and they make it in front of you. They're the Bennihana of Mexican food!
Andrea PaulSeptember 6, 2014Casual counter service during the week! Really great bowls that you can customize.
