some of best food overall is n a while - very well done

Incredible food! The Pastor Quesadilla was one of the most flavorful I’ve had with pineapple, jalapeños, cheese and well seasoned meat..We also got a variety of taco’s- shrimp, steak and carnitas from the regular menu and the steak taco’s from the specials menu(this one was tastier compared to the regular ones). For dessert we got the Flan which is a little thicker than a caramel custard but tasty nevertheless. The service was great too, we had to wait 20min to get seated but it was well worth the wait!

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.

Ordered carne asada tacos and carnitas. Meat was tough and taco was very oily. Not very good. Staff was pleasant and drinks were adequate.

We were in town for 5 days and accidentally started our trip at LA Puerta. They won us over with their awesome hapoy hour, fantastic drinks, and amazing staff and we stopped by almost every day. Special shout outs to Nick, Saba, and Terissa who were brilliant!

Absolutely great Mexican restaurant! Saturday early evening 6 PM. Got no reservation, got table for two immediately though the place was packed. Very friendly and efficient service. Ate the surf n' turf burrito, the best burrito ever had! Highly recommend this place!

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!!

Nothing special to me. Average. Guac is on top of a bed of chips. Didn't like that and carnitas burrito was pretty good I forgot to tell them no fries inside. I didn't care for th hat twist.*** after reading the company's response about cali burritos ususally containing fries inside ...thank you im from Texas. Didn't know. I'll keep this in mind should I return to Cali.

Super good food, small hick-up on the order but handled perfectly. Tacos were really good. I will be back next time in San Diego.
