Menu
the surf and turf taco was amazing!! Also loved the hot sauce marg!
Tacos were BANGIN
Had to wait about 15-20 minutes after my reservation to be sat but the manager came by twice to apologize and thank us for waiting. I really appreciated the attentiveness and communication!! Everyone that worked there was super nice and accommodating!! Will be back soon!!
I liked the staff, food and vibe. Great drinks too!
Outdoor seating was well done and felt safe. Restaurant was busy on a Friday lunch, but we were enjoying the beautiful weather. Service was friendly and attentive. Tacos were fabulous, especially the shrimp and filet options. This was not our first trip and won’t be the last!
Went with a friend who is gluten free and Puesto was very accommodating. Service was helpful and the food was very good. Taco Tuesday specials were a good deal.
We had such delicious food--the guac with parmesan chunks was just so good & the tacos I chose were the chicken al pastor & tamarindo shrimp, both scrumptious. Outdoor seating was perfect with umbrellas to offer shade from the sun.
It was a great experience and very attentive staff.
In short, too expensive for food you can find better at many nearby restaurants and trucks. A single street taco shouldn't be $9. I'd rather have a steak for the cost of $27 worth of 3 street tacos. We couldn't finish half the guacamole, it had so much lime juice in it. And the street corn appetizer uses canned corn, which had too much flavor of an aluminum can. Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed.
Great place for Valentine’s
Their tacos and ceviche never cease to delightful surprise us- it’s like a flavor explosion in your mouth. The dessert menu and tRes Leches in particular can definitely use an upgrade though.
Bday/ Valentine’s Celebration
The tacos truly are unique and amazing
Food was fantastic and the service was great, the background music was also enjoyable though my only nit was a speaker happened to be right above our table such that it was a bit difficult to converse.
it was very very yummy! amazing server and amazing margaritas
Great Margaritas and delicious guacamole, and we were there during happy hour!
We’ve eaten at Puesto in the past and
it has been great. Not this time. The server was not friendly. It took forever for the drinks and food to be served. And when we got the food, it was cold and bland tasting. An overall disappointing dining experience from a restaurant that used to be good.
We had a great experience at Puesto. We love the surf and turf tacos. We also had guac and salsas. The margaritas were amazing. Our waitress was the best.
Safe friendly and the food is amazing!
Great service, great outdoor setup, and awesome happy hour deals!
Their outdoor set-up was great! Would highly recommend especially with limited indoor dining. Make sure to make a reservation for Tuesdays.
Great food and service! Covid-19 conditions require sitting outside but the staff is amazing as well as the food.
Amazing dinner and such an enjoyable atmosphere. Lucas was our server and he was the best!!
Vacation to La Jolla
Phong is dope
Fun night out for a birthday! It was Taco Tuesday and we all tried different taco so we could taste them all, and they were delicious. Guacamole and ceviche were delicious and there house made salsa was also the bomb! I highly recommend Puesto for great Mexican food, Yucatan Peninsula style!
My wife and I had a very enjoyable outdoor meal at Puesto La Jolla celebrating our 23rd Anniversary.
Staff was exceptional.
The food here is exquisite. Favorite place to eat when we want a treat—it is not inexpensive, but it’s worth every penny! Enjoy!
Food was great!!!
Outstanding in nearly everything. Terrific tacos and great booze. With terrific service. A ‘go to’ every time I’m near La Jolla.
Always so tasty. They did a nice job with their outside dining too.
Primera vez y nos encantó, muy rica la comida, muy buen servicio. La comida la tuvieron muy rápido, sin duda volveremos!
Food and Margaritas consistently good
Margaritas always good!
We had an amazing experience w/ the food, service and everything. We’re visiting from Central IL on our 10-year anniversary and this was legitimately the BEST meal we’ve both ever had.... Thank You!
One of our favorite places to go when we are in La Jolla! Even with a limited menu, our vegan son had options to choose from. Food and service is always fantastic!
Great Margaritas!!
What a place, being going for years. A little different with the outdoor setup but the food is excellent, as always.
Great outside dining for lunch. Waiter was helpful with suggestions and food was very good and fresh. Loved our taco combos.
