Stopped into Puesto in Seaport Village and had such a great experience. It’s one of those spots that feels both local and fancy, perfect for a casual night out or a quick bite. The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming, and the bar had that perfect balance of fun energy and good conversation. Reyna and Damian were fantastic behind the bar. Ive seen Reyna a few times. Shes always on the details, genuinely friendly, attentive, and just on it with everything. They made the whole experience even better. And seriously, the steak tacos are an absolute must. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor. Easily one of my favorite neighborhood go-tos now.

The waiter was amazingly friendly and super helpful. As first time customers he helped us with great recommendations. The aquas frescas were delicious! The food was great and it was a superb reservation.

Their food was so good! It was very fresh and not too heavy on the stomach. They also have very good mocktail and an amazing Arnold palmer you have to try!

Stopped on our way out of town after a conference for lunch. We made a reservation but it wasn't really necessary. Great outdoor seating. We sat inside. I had three of their delicious tacos. I especially enjoy the crispy cheese and the pineapple salsa. We also tried the guacamole trio, and the guac with parmesan is out of this world. I highly recommend it. Leave room for dessert, so you can try the pistachio tres leches cake. It's so worth it. There are so many levels of pistachio. Service was top-notch. Attentive but not over the top. I always try and stop here when I am in town.

Came with a party of 6. Food was perfection and came out hot. Service was delayed a bit but they were busy for a Sunday evening with a big conference in town. Staff very friendly though. Highly recommend. Seating on two floors, try to get a table upstairs overlooking the shops. It’s a cool spot for cocktails too. Delicious mojitos. Got the chicken enchiladas - ate every bite!! My guests loved the short rib and filet tacos as well.

I truly appreciate the authenticity of the dishes in this restaurant. While it is not your typical Mexican dishes they are inspired by real Mexican loved recipes. Someone in my party announced that this was The Best Horchata and I have to agree. It was the creamy and sweet, yet refreshing. We had a variety of the menu items and not one dish disappointed the party. The ingredients and taste were authentically Mexican. No preservative taste anywhere. The Nogada Guacamole, obviously inspired by Chiles en Nogada, was delicious. The Esquite, while in not really a fan of esquite in general, i prefer it on the cob, but this was so good every last crumb was eaten. Totally a great experience. Can't wait to go back. The staff was super friendly and amazing as well. Overall a great experience.

I’m from Michigan, and the first time we visited San Diego, we ended up dining here twice…it was that good! On our next trip back, we made it our birthday lunch spot, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. The service was amazing…our waitress even gave us a free appetizer because we waited (which was only about five minutes!). Super generous and thoughtful. The food was full of flavor, the drinks were great, and it was the perfect way to kick off our trip after getting off the plane. Highly recommend!

Just follow the Pink Puesto truck to the best taco and fun drinks restaurant in San Diego. Love, love, love the tacos! Service was spectacular! Thank you Elsa! We ordered several types of tacos, guacamole, and chips, and some wonderful drinks. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Glad we came here. So close to many hotels and things to do.

Without a single doubt, these are the best tacos I’ve ever had. I got three tacos: Chicken al Pastor, Filet Mignon, and the Ribeye. All three were excellent and I savored every bite. Three was the perfect amount for a meal. The decor in this restaurant was also so cool! Really enjoyed my experience and I would go back in a heartbeat!

Excellent! Came tonight for taco Tuesday- half off all tacos! Some of the best tacos I've ever had! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the filet was over cooked and a bit dry- would have loved it medium rare. Other than that- amazing! The lobster, carnitas, grilled shrimp, tamarindo, quesabirria all excellent! Great sauces too and free chips and salsa! Excellent service. If I come back to SD I'll definitely come back for taco Tuesday!

We chose Puesto for a get together given they have a pup friendly patio , was walkable from our hotel and took reservations. Service was great, delicious watermelon margaritas and the food was tasty. I found pricing to be a bit high for what you were getting/portion (specifically the bowls) Also, we were never offered water for pups which is fine but compared to other pup friendly restaurants felt like a miss (we are spoiled?)

We had lunch at Puesto at The Headquarters and it was excellent! Our server Adrian was super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We ordered a mix of tacos including Lobster, Filet Mignon, Wagyu Brisket, Ribeye, Baja Fish, and Carnitas, and every single one was packed with flavor. The crispy melted cheese and salsas really take them to the next level. The Puesto Guacamole was fresh and nicely seasoned, a solid starter. We had the Michelada and the Coke slushie, both really refreshing and perfect for a midday meal. The only letdown was the Churro Sundae, which looked great but didn’t really taste like churro. It could use more churro pieces, cinnamon sugar, or sauce to bring it together. Overall, the tacos are absolutely on point. Next time, I’d skip the apps and dessert and just stick with tacos and drinks because that’s where Puesto really shines.

We arrived around 3:45pm. There was a conference downtown, so it was busy causing a 30-minute wait for a table for 2. The hostesses were nice and let us know we could order food and/or drinks at these small chairs by the bar. We weren’t able to order because both lines for the bar were so long. However, once our table was ready everything was great. KORDEL was our server and he was attentive, quick, and nice. He asked about food allergies and made great suggestions. The shrimp and filet mignon tacos were our favorites. The rice and beans cost $4 extra, but were worth it. They no longer have happy hour. Instead, they have half-off all tacos from 3pm to close on Taco Tuesday. On Thursday they have another offer that includes half off margaritas. I would only go on a Tuesday because the regular taco prices are wild. ASK FOR KORDEL during your next Taco Tuesday outing.

Good atmosphere and delicious food, though the service can be a bit slow since the place easily gets packed at night. However, we were informed about the two-hour dining limit only near the end of our meal, right after we ordered dessert. We also felt rushed for the check even though our desserts hadn’t been fully served yet.
