A must stop in La Jolla. Outstanding street tacos- filet mingon, mahi mahi , carnitas , al pastor , shrimp - grilled cheese in the homemade tortillas & the mole is so savory. pair with a street fruit cup .

Mosh Rahman

Best Tacos ever!! I've had Mexican food and tacos my entire life, these might be the tacos I've ever tasted. It's been Voted "Best Tacos in San Diego" for a reason. Seriously must try

Simone Czech

Hands down best Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico. The Horchata rocks and get the al pastor tacos and Zucchini ones are wonderful as well . Highly recommend

Adrian Balaguer

This place is nice and cosy! Especially the outside part. The ceviche is excellent, the fish is fresh and the preparation tasty and spicy ! The potato taco was a bit too sweet for me but still tasty!

Brad Hager

GREAT tacos , with a lot of choices. Get two or three different ones. The Esquite (grilled corn ) is a MUST, so good. A little pricey for tacos but still worth it. Nice, trendy ambiance.

Justin Gianninoto

Come for the fresh, creative tacos and margaritas . Stay for the vibrant, modern and airy atmosphere with friendly service .

Cosmo Catalano

Playful, fun tacos , boisterous environment. Go on Tuesday for the Taco Tuesday discount !

Fantastic fresh street style tacos . Lovely little restaurant , great vibe and decor. Helpful staff . Highly recommend. Taco sliders are a great way to explore different combos

El Doosty

Adrian Chen

ONE of the best taco places I've ever been to. The selection of tacos are plenty. You would think that one plate of 3 tacos might not be enough, but they sure are filling tacos . GET FROZEN HORCHATA .

James Guthrie

Fantastic, fresh tacos to make your body happy. Of the ones I've had, filet mignon is #1 and worth the upcharge, but chicken verde is right behind and regular priced.

Lord funkomatic Aka Captain Eli

Authetic street tacos down to the handmade tortillas , with la Jolla prices. Worth every penny.... Can't put a price on freshness! Oh yeah....PS Dave Matthews band still sucks.

Rachel Reagan

The most amazing tacos I have ever had. So many choices, and amazingly fresh ingredients . And that soda fountain ! I am seriously heartbroken this is so far from where I live.

Karli Scott

They just started their full service restaurant and it's the best! I love their tacos and sangria . Get a bottle and share with a good friend! Definitely coming back!

Levon Monte

So freaking good! Up there with Warhol's! The Pollo Al Pastor bowl and Soyrizo Potato Tacos are amazing! Great Indie music playing adds to the hip look and feel of Puesto.

Blan Saag

You definitely should try the tamarindo shrimp taco ! Amazing flavor!! And any margarita is also good

Matt Davis

Even though every meat taco I got tasted like pork they were still good. It had great beers on tap and excellent service. 7 out of 10. It was also kind of pricey .

Justin Sullivan

Taco Tuesday is awesome. $2.50 + the up charge on specials (filet, lamb , crab , etc). You'll be surprised at how good the zucchini cactus is.

Eric A

Taco 1- grilled cheese , grass fed carne asada , potatoes w/ rajas. Taco 2 - shrimp , tinga de jamaica, mango habanero . Taco 3 - grilled cheese , chicken breast al pastor , pineapple !

Great Mexican street taco place with lots of Vegetarian choices for non-meat eaters like potatoes and chilies, potatoes and soy chorizo , corn truffle , and zucchini flower .

Chris Torrez

Tacos were very good. I had the fish , al pastor , and carnitas taco . Pretty pricey for three tacos . 12.96

You can mix and match different kinds of tacos . I got one carne asada and one carnitas - so good!

Sal

If you want to try different tacos...this is the place! $2 taco tuesday with $3 dos equis can.

Margaritas are fresh squeezed and perfect. A pitcher of those with a bowl of IG-worthy guacamole makes for a great date.

Tamarindo Shrimp Tacos are #1 ☝️

The filet and lobster tacos are amazing! Also try the horchatta freeze!

Quiet bar with good margaritas and tacos . Some bartender staff can be slow, so grab a table and be waited on if you have trouble.

Ashley Swapp

Pretty much everything is good here. It's chipotle-style choose your own but with better branding and better selections.

Lisa Marie Falcone

Frozen horchata was amazing! Great vegetarian tacos ! Food was delicious

Ayşem D

My favorite place and so delicious tacco food. It was wonderful restaurant

Derek Blechinger

Brilliant but hard to describe. Comparable to Chipotle but... Better? And they've got an awesome drink menu for a taco shop .

Peter McQueen

The tacos were good not great...but 30 bucks for 3 tacos and a beer with tip feels un-american.

Toia Capelli

3 tacos mix & match: 1. Carnitas , 2. Tuna asada, 3. Filet mignon .

Crystal Moreno

Chicken tacos are awesome! Don't forget to get a frozen horchata too!

Betty

Carnitas tacos FTW! The bowls are huge and can easily be shared.

Jenny Panos

Get the filet minon tacos ! The tuna ones need some seasoning... But really good overall.

Tyler

It sort of feels like a graphic designer cranked this chain out and doesn't quite belong... The micheladas and vegetarian tacos are where it's at.

ALIEN

Yummy tacos , friendly stuff and homey atmosphere . Buon appetito ????

Alex F

Great, cheap , fast, fresh Mexican food . Margaritas and beer . Fruit cups . Great for kids.
