We ate at Puesto last night we found it and decided to go there base on the many positive TripAdvisor reviews. The food was really good and very fresh, not your typical greasy tacos covered in canned salsa and processed cheese. The service was good and they have a fun atmosphere. We will definetly visit there again on our next... More

A little unusual with great tasting food. Grab a quick bite during lunch, or a late snack. The flavors are different than most mexican restaurants.

we were running late & stopped in for tacos prior to a musical event. Menu was a bit confusing, but food delicious ( & messy) but an unexpected dinner for LJ.

My partner and I ate at Puesto's today after reading great reviews on trip advisor and left feeling very unsatisfied. After travelling through Mexico we were really looking forward to enjoying great Mexican food again. The tacos were just okay and for almost $10 for three tacos, we found the place to be extremely overpriced. We do not recommend and... More

We read about Puesto on tripadvisor prior to our vacation and tried the restaurant based on the reviews. We were not disappointed! All the produce is fresh and the coolers are clear so they can display the freshness. Everything, including the tortillas, are made fresh in front of you. It was delicious! You can even order alcoholic drinks and eat... More

A very good mexican place which i would suggest worth trying if you happen to visit La Jolla. Quick service, healthy food(lot of exotic veggies) and tacos were the best.

This place is great, especially with tired/hungry kids and husband. It is a much better, more exotic, more flavorful version of a fast "healthy mex" chain which our kids also love. The greens for the salads are fresh, with a really nice selection of toppings. We love the new Coconut water that they are serving, as well as the white... More

Visited yesterday after reading reviews and was very dissapointed given the hype on trip advisor. Food was good enough but in essence its a typical fast food outlet

I am staying at Newport Beach area and decided to drive down to San Diego. Wanted to eat at the best mexican restaurant and looked up Tripadvisor and y elp. They both rated this restaurant as the best mexican restaurant. I totally disagree! Its good food but certainly not worthy of #1 rating. I read one person mentioning that it... More
