Puesto Mission Valley: A Beautiful Mexican Venue for Unforgettable Dining Experiences

Food - Pretty good. Filet mignon tacos were very good. Asparagus tacos needed another flavor to be interesting. Ribeye tacos were only ok - very disappointing because I had expected this to be my favorite. Service - Excellent. Pricing - Not competitive at all. Yes, there are taco Tuesdays but 85% of the week isn’t made up of Tuesdays. These are premium tacos served up at ultra-premium prices. After tax tip, and mandatory 4% surcharge for all parties regardless of size, I paid an average of $15 for each of my three tacos. Overall - Worth a visit to try out, especially if you’re (like me) a visitor from out of town. Hard to recommend it otherwise though because your buck can go much further elsewhere.

Holding back a star due to a service mistake. Overall the experience was great and the food delicious. The margarita was tasty as well. The mistake came when I had asked for no cilantro, was confirmed of no cilantro, yet received cilantro. By the time it was replaced, we were done with the meal and paying out.

Very good food. Fantastic service. Yea, the prices are high. But I’m not taking that into account for the quality of the food. The guacamole flight was a great fun idea and delicious.

Puesto's Chicken Al Pastor with melted cheese, chicken, hibiscus & chipotle tinga, avocado, piña habanero pico are my go to. I also recommend the corn. The menu is not what most consider as traditional Mexican. The flavors are creative and fresh. The bar is also very popular. Go on Taco Tuesday for deep discounts.

We had a wonderful experience at Puesto in San Diego! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish we tried exceeded our expectations. A special shoutout to our server, Genesis, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Her recommendations were spot on and really elevated our meal. Great food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere overall. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Puesto to anyone visiting San Diego

Food and service here is always consistently above average. On my most recent visit our server Ricardo C. recognized us from a previous visit and it really added to the overall pleasant experience. He was very personable, prompt and made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Amazing service and very family friendly. We love coming here!

If possible, visit on Taco Tuesday when all tacos are half off. This makes the prices much more reasonable as they are fairly expensive. We started with chips and salsa and added the salsa bar. We liked the original chips and salsa, but we didn't really care for any of the additional salsas that came with the bar. I then had the chicken and short rib tacos and my daughter had the filet mignon and carnitas tacos. I really liked mine, but she thought her tacos were just ok. The decor and atmosphere was great. We sat out on the patio, and it was a great spot to enjoy the weather. This is a great spot for a girls night out or for after work drinks.

Great experience! Our waiter, Dimitar, was amazing, kind and very attentive, especially with my (new) food allergy. He went out of his way to make sure everything I ordered was safe for me and took the time to double-check, (and triple-check) which I really appreciated. On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious. Excellent service and great food. . . I’ll definitely be back.
