About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
Mexico City born. California raised. Puesto brings the vibrant soul of CDMX through a Southern California lens-bold, modern Mexican with an edge. Seasonal menus, creative takes, and the best ingredients in the hands of better chefs. Every tortilla starts with organic blue corn, made in-house like it's been since 1200 BC. Puesto is family-founded by the Adler and Lombrozo brothers, first-gen Mexican Americans raised on tamales and tradition. It's a love letter to the flavors they grew up with, reimagined with Mexico City energy and SoCal spirit. Made by food people. For food people.

    Whenever we’ve been in San Diego over the past few years at a recurring event at the Harbor, Puesto at the Headquarters is always a dinner stop. And this trip was as delightful as our past visits with great food and drinks plus reasonable prices. FWIW: Don’t miss Taco Tuesdays.

    Booked a table for 4 on Fri for Sat at 5pm. We were seated indoors at 5:05pm. We waited until 5:25 pm and noone came to our table to take our orders (not even drinks), incredible since we were the only people in that room. We got up, walked out with noone noticing or asking questions. We went to the top of the Hyatt and had an amazing evening, the server at the Top of the Hyatt was very attentive, we had drinks within 5 minutes. Puesto management would benefit from some training from Top of the Hyatt employees! Needless to say, we will not be going back to Puesto at the Headquarters anytime soon. It's too bad since this was one of my favorite restaurants in the area.

    The food and drinks were delicious. The service was excellent. The price is pretty high for what you get but that’s San Diego.

    Came to Puesto with friends for my husband and I 5 year wedding anniversary and this place did not disappoint! I had the Suizas Enchiladas, and hubby got the Short Rib Enchiladas, both were AMAZING! Everyone else also loved their food and drinks. The only thing that sucks is if you have a group of 10 people or more they ONLY do one check & add on service fee and 18% tip and tax those as well.
