About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for happy hour
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.

    This place has the best salsa I’ve ever had. The service was really great and I really like the setting and the high ceilings.

    I had a great dinner at Puesto Mission Valley! Since we sat outside—it was quiet enough to have longer conversations. We went on taco Tuesday—so the deals were great! I will be there again!

    Usually better than this. Taco Tuesday so we waited for almost 12 minutes for our reservation to be Honored. Service was average at best. I had to go hunt down more iced tea and never were we checked in during the meal. The tacos were all 10 out of 10. The flan was horrible. No one liked it. The tres leche cake was good. Half priced tacos are astral but the service needs to be the equal to its normal.

    Randall, first and foremost we apologize for the less than Puesto perfect experience you received on Taco Tuesday yesterday. We always strive for above and beyond service and its clear we missed the mark. We appreciate constructive feedback from our loyal guests and would love to make it right. Please respond here and I would love to make a reservation for you and your guests to enjoy complimentary apps and drinks. As always thank you for your support and I hope to hear from you soon!

    We had a wonderful birthday celebration for my 30 year old nephew. The food was amazing, the margaritas were delicious and our server, Jocelyn, was outstanding. Taco Tuesday rocks at Puesto.

    The rib taco was so good, I could’ve eaten 4 of them. Wish they were a tad cheaper, but well worth getting 2. They were so juicy and tender. Get the extra salsas, some pretty unique flavors if you like that kind of thing! The mezcal flight was delicious—will certainly be back for margaritas!
