About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Great for happy hour
  • Good for groups
Mexico City born. California raised. Puesto brings the vibrant soul of CDMX through a Southern California lens-bold, modern Mexican with an edge. Seasonal menus, creative takes, and the best ingredients in the hands of better chefs. Every tortilla starts with organic blue corn, made in-house like it's been since 1200 BC. Puesto is family-founded by the Adler and Lombrozo brothers, first-gen Mexican Americans raised on tamales and tradition. It's a love letter to the flavors they grew up with, reimagined with Mexico City energy and SoCal spirit. Made by food people. For food people.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Puesto Mission Valley offers "great food and service," with standout tacos and margaritas. It's a "perfect celebration spot," known for welcoming staff like Ricardo Chavez and Jocelyn. While the menu can be "pricey," Taco Tuesday offers fantastic deals. The atmosphere is "fun" and "bustling," ideal for groups and special occasions.

    I booked a standard indoor table on OpenTable but was told only the bar or high top in the bar was available. Not a giant issue but just a dimmer on expectations.

    Great food and service. Julian was a really good waiter, Brandon is too. Love the tacos, especially the asparagus. Salsa is always great, never too spicy. Guac now has no onions, which is awesome.. always had to ask for no onions previously, now the onions are no more..thanks!

    Service was great! But the food was terrible. I had the Baja Fish and it made feel sick after eating it. Michelada was good.

    Puesto is always a good idea! It's one of those restaurants you can always rely on for great food, great service, and a fun vibe. My friend and I have a tradition of always celebrating birthdays there together, and we've been so incredibly impressed, year after year, with how great of a celebration spot it is! They've gifted us small desserts, small margaritas, and handwritten cards over the years. If you go to the Puesto Mission Valley, make sure you ask for Ricardo Chavez for your server - he's just the best! (Although really, they are all wonderful and friendly.)

    This is one of those places you eat at and regret paying 10$ for a chicken taco. Ambiance is great though.
