All the tacos are delish. They are street sized (small). Some can be spicy , so ask beforehand. The atmosphere is trendy here. Great location in the old Police Headquarters. Artwork by Chor Boogie

Their Ahi Ceviche , Lobster Taco , Chicken/Cheese Taco are all to die for! Their Puesto Margarita is delicious too! Can go wrong with the 10 taco for $30 deal! @eatPuesto

Brian Mercado

The tacos are good. They are very different than traditional street tacos in Tijuana because they stuff so much into each taco . Casua cantina style restaurant . Gets packed on Taco Tuesday .

Roger Ma

Just $2 tacos on Taco Tuesdays ! Way better environment than Fred's if you're looking for a cool spot to grub and have a couple drinks!

Lauren Little

Gorgeous, hip restaurant . So excited to have stumbled into this place! You can't pass on the lobster taco . Chicken al pastor has fantastic tinga on it. Highly recommend the strawberry mint agua fresca

Mel G

The tacos were insanely flavorful. I recommend the carnitas , shrimp and pork shoulder tacos . Be sure to have the guac and a piña colada too! One of the best meals I’ve had in SD.

Dominic Gadoury

So the wait was 1 hour 40 minutes, and although that was a bit long - it was SOOO worth it. Amazing food, great service...and what an amazing space (still wish I knew what it once was).

Tamara Flores-Silva

Friendly and quick service . The chicken al pastor bowl with a fried egg was amazing. Bf ordered tacos all which were delicious. He also got the burro Guero drink

John (aka “PHATFoodFan”)

Get the three tacos option for lunch : duck confit , filet mignon and shrimp (air, land, sea). https://www.instagram.com/p/BwGcPvZDjFl/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1mywe4jlqtc6m

MUST have the Conchinita piblini taco and the filet mignon taco ! The best tacos . So much fun on #TacoTuesday. Unlimited complimentary chips and salsa :)

Beverly Ward

Order: shrimp , lobster & Filet tacos are the best! On the side: order the roasted corn . Non-alcohol drinks: frozen horchata & strawberry mint Aqua Frescas

Eater

Puesto provides a seriously stunning setting for a menu that showcases its signature tacos as well as Mexican small plates and inspired craft cocktails .

Joshua Livecchi

Some of the best tacos ! Kind of pricey but if you come on taco Tuesday , it's worth it! Don't forget the margaritas ! The house one is great ( and pretty strong!)

Nino Tasca

Great atmosphere. One step above fast-casual. All tacos I tried were great - with special props to the zucchini and cactus taco . Original combination and excellent taste.

Ece

Loved it! This one looks way more cool than the one in La Jolla! Get filet mignon , chicken verde and lobster tacos ! They all rolled in grilled cheese !

BestTraveller

Try their margarita as a starter. 15 min waiting time although empty tables. Delicious tacos . Each of them amazing.

Derya Özbey

Chicken verde and vegetarian tacos are heavenly delicious. Service is great 👌🏼👌🏼give it a try for home made guacamole as a starter. Enjoy !!

Mezcal El Silencio 🐇

Amazing cocktails with Mezcal El Silencio and the food is one of the best ever!! #TacoTuesday. Beautiful place. Good service . Colorful and tasty. #MezcalElSilencio

Kelly Weaver

tacos (filet, chicken , and octopus were all yummmy) and street corn ...everything was fabulous.

Nicole Rodenbaugh

Go for filet tacos , pistachio sauce is so amazing. Chicken cheese was also a great choice. Stay away from shrimp tacos .

AmateurConcierge

Awesome sit down taco spot . Horchata , guac (with any topic), lobster and tuna tacos whoooo. Skip the corn side it comes burnt

Brian Strauss

Everything is a little too gringo here. Menu is intriguing and not at all traditional, but everything also seemed under seasoned: the carnitas taco was best.

Jordache Johnson

The filet mignon tacos were by far my favorite!

Vicki

The best Al Pastor taco I've had yet. Better than La Puerta's Al Pastor . Also the Chicken Verde and Filet tacos are bomb!

Michael Kalec

Came here while visiting. Loved the tacos , felt authentic . Tasty!

Ms Helene

Roasted tomato salsa , guacamole , shrimp ceviche , corn cotija , grilled shrimp tamarind tacos & tres leches .

Mike Aycock

Mole Taco , carnitas taco and their guacamole are all awesome. I need to go back to try more of the menu!

Reservations for a big party was difficult but our server was so nice! The food and drinks were great

Bread Sun

It's right behind the starbucks at seaport village . I loved the bright and artistic atmosphere and tacos were delicious.

Hermann Brandi

Try the octopus tacos . They are excellent! Agua de Horchata is a must. Beware, chips and salsa area addictive.

Liz Rinehart

Tacos were amazing! Loved the flavor of their Baja fish taco ! Margaritas were also excellent 😉

Chris Rosemond

Delicious street tacos . Al pastor , filet mignon , and tuna are the best. The cactus one was alright too

Avleen Vig

Literally everything here is amazing. It's no wonder this joint is one of the top rated taco places in the country .

Tyler Tremelling

All the tacos were really good, but the filet mignon was on another level.!!

J

Excellent Mexican food , often incredibly busy. Very pleasant location near Seaport Village and the Embarcadero.

Elliott L.

Street tacos were pretty incredible. Soy chorizo was top notch. I would highky recommend.

Stephanie Shaw

I had the Chicken Verde tacos and it tasted great! I was disappointed it wasn't kid friendly - a children's menu was non-existent. The only soda they had was Coke , Diet, or Sprite.

Pim Wessels

Great Mexican food ! Friendly staff . Ask for the taco or the month:-)

Alex Kasemir

Tiny tacos , beautiful restaurant , all the chicken tacos were delicious (and the cheapest)
