“ Excellent Mexican food in La Jolla! Came here because of its stellar reputation and it did not disappoint. It’s less than a 10 minute walk from La Jolla Cove and surrounded by plenty of shops and stores. Their menu offers a diverse array of tacos and their margaritas are excellent. Special shoutout to their guacamole sampler… some of the best guac I’ve ever had. The pricing is very reasonable relative to the area and the portion sizes are sufficient. The staff and overall service were excellent and came through with suggestions. The outdoor seating makes it a great spot to eat with friends or family while enjoying the San Diego weather. Highly recommend! ”
“ Warm welcoming atmosphere. Knowledgeable wait staff. Described food choices and offered suggestions based on our questions. Salsa for initial chip basket was enjoyed by all four of us. Flautas with chicken was flavourful. Carne burrito was moist and seasoned well. Quac three flight was spicy, cheesy and traditional. Ez parking on Wall Street at the time we were there. Umbrella shades at every outdoor patio seating area. ”
“ We came for lunch. Just popped in with no knowledge of the place. Regular chips and salsa as a starter. Salsa is great. The food was good (steak tacos, lobster tacos) and kids dishes (steak taco, rice and beans, and cheese quesadilla with rice, beans, and fruit. Both adults would have been good with one taco each for lunch. The Puesto margaritas were AMAZING. I felt the crispy onion strings on the lobster taco distracted from the lobster and avocado flavor and mouth. ”
“ Love this place so much that I make sure to stop by every time I’m in San Diego! The flavors and textures in the tacos are perfectly balanced! I also enjoy the salsa flight here. The chips are not bad, but could be a little higher quality to match the rest of the food here. ”
“ Nice place for upscale Mexican in a laid back setting. Service was friendly and welcoming. Food is really good! We had a few different tacos which were all amazing. Watermelon margaritas were so refreshing, ask for level 2 heat if you want to add a little spice. Buen provecho! ”
