Looking for a quick meal mid-Saturday afternoon but wanted quality food in a nice environment. Tried this place and was very pleased that I did.
Very happy to be seated at the bar, rather than wait for a table or booth, and ordered some steak tacos and a local craft beer. The food and drinks were excellent, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the decor was fun. Highly recommended.

Mexican food cravings - 100% satisfied ????✨ we left with our stomachs super full. Everything was just so on point.
Quesadilla ????????
Tacos ????????
Chips and salsa ????
If it wasnt for the fact that there are also so many other great Mexican restaurants in San Diego to try, we’d eat here everyday, twice a day.
Would highly recommend this place. Service was super great too

I’d been disappointed by my San Diego taco experience up until I visited this place. Surf and Turf tacos were excellent, would get them again in a heartbeat. The tortilla chips also appear to be house made and the best I’ve had in a while. And the house margarita was one of the best I’ve ever had. Also tried the carne aside fries since it’s a San Diego thing. It was good and hearty but prob wouldn’t get it again. Good service and cool vibe overall. Recommend one of the comfy booths inside if available.

Quick service. Nice outdoor patio seating. They were accommodating to large group with small kids. I loved there guacamole and potato taquitos. Veggie fries were a surprise hit, soft fries with great mexovan toppings. Other food like tacos had too much guacamole in it, just not something I enjoy in my tacos. Green sauce they had was bomb, went with everything.

Great food. Staff was very kind and accommodating. The general feel of the restaurant is really cool. Didn't use the bathroom, so can't say how clean it was, but the rest of the space was clean. Would hands down go again. Chips and salsa are hands down some of the best I've had in a while.

Went in summer of 2021. The food was incredibly delicious. My mom is typically not a big eater. More often than not, she has trouble finishing half of any plates when not eating at home. But my mom devoured that quesadilla, so this place will get some bonus points just for that. The burrito is also great. Frozen margarita is a must during the summertime.

Best margarita I’ve ever had and such a great vibe. The food was delicious, the drinks delicious, everything delicious. Portions were huge and there was so much selection especially when it comes to tequila and margaritas. The waiter was friendly, constantly checked on us, and split our bill as requested with ease. We barely waited for a table and our food came quickly even with how crowded the restaurant was. Big time recommend for people visiting San Diego. I would 1000% go back. Little pricey for Mexican food but totally worth it.

This place was delicious! But somewhat disorganized... We asked for guac and cocktails to get us started, followed by the mix and match street tacos, and the taqueso carne. We got the tacos well before we got the guac and had to inquire about it 5 times before we received it (right as we were finishing up, so already full). The tacos were delicious! The taqueso ones were a little dry but the rest were great. Wonderful food but could be better organized.

It was my first time to La Puerta and it was incredible!! We sat sat outside on the patio, which it was a beautiful evening. Our server was friendly and personable! Both salsas, which came with chips, were delicious!! I ordered three tacos because it was taco Tuesday. All three were extremely tasty! And the margaritas…on point. La Puerta also has a great happy hour! Stop by and check this place out!!

Stopped at La Puerta for dinner when I was down in San Diego. The reviews said top 10 tacos, but I was eager to see if that was true. The cochinita tacos we're definitely the best ones, but the pastor was also great. The vibe was also great, with mugshots of musicians all over the wall. The staff was friendly.
