I teeter on 4 or 5 stars for Puesto. What it makes it worth 5 stars: -This location is gorgeous! They took over the old Gordon Biersch Brewery and transformed it into a beautiful space. It can be rented for events and it's absolutely stunning. -It's also the most convenient to get to this location because of the parking lot accessibility. -The food at Puesto is good! I love the potato taquitos and the delicious dipping sauce it comes with. Other favorites for me include the shrimp taco and shrimp quesadilla. They do shrimp right! -Great service! Staff is friendly and responsive. What makes it worth 4 stars: -The price is just really tough! Especially living in San Diego, the idea of paying $10 for a single taco hurts! On top of that, a $18 margarita is rough! Happy Hour pricing doesn't make a huge impact on the pricing. The food is good, but it's really hard to justify just how much they charge for their food.

Food is excellent - portions could be larger for the price. But I reallly love the quality of the food and the originality of this American Mexican twist of food. Pomegranate in guacamole? sure! Drinks- if you like spicy margs this is my favorite in San Diego. Service- great every time! Servers are attentive and friendly. Ambiance is definitely upscale trendy restaurant. Cute for a girls night. It's pricey for sure, hence 4/5 stars. $100 for 1 cocktail, app + food with tip is way too expensive.

carlos did an amazing job during happy hour kept checking up on us and food came out quickly and good! def coming back

The food was great, especially the new swordfish taco, and the service by Carlos was perfect!

Came for hh on a Thurs and it wasn't too busy right around 3. We got to sit on their back patio. They only have their standard margarita for hh at $10. All the snacks and shares are half off. We decided to split the chips and salsa and pay the extra $1 (for hh) to get the additional four salsas. The margarita is just standard. However their salsas stole the show! Totally worth trying. You get their standard roasted tomato salsa but the extra four we got were the black garlic chili oil, hot salsa, tomatillo salsa and some pineapple flavored one. Our favorite was the chili garlic but they were all so unique and tasted so fresh. Chips tasted homemade too.
