We love cruising the streets of San Diego in our bright beautiful pink truck serving Crispy Melted Cheese Tacos all over this great city

Most of the Puesto menu is gluten free with the exception of the Carne Asada and the Frozen Horchata.  Our Carne Asada is marinated with many delicious flavors including beer, and is our only guisado meat or vegetable that is currently not gluten free.

Please advise our Plancha Chefs of your gluten allergy or any other allergy we should be aware of to ensure we prepare your meal to your needs.

Thank you,

Team Puesto

Best of all, Puesto guests may enjoy 1 FREE TACO per person on May 4th-5th, 2013

Executive Chef Luisteen has cooked up traditional and tender picadillo using Tallgrass Beef. Picadillo is an authentic homestyle Mexican dish prepared with ground beef and diced vegetables.  We’ve named this taco the “Gringo” taco even though it’s exceptionally traditional due to the American fascination with ground beef tacos. We couldn’t succumb to sour cream, hard shells or yellow cheese.

Stop by this Cinco de Mayo weekend and enjoy a Gringo Taco on us, ¡Salud!

Carnitas and Shrimp Tacos, Bowls and Salads:

Carnitas - All Natural Pork, traditionally braised in a copper pot

Grilled Shrimp - Marinated in a house made cilantro sauce.

Drinks: Micheladas and Frozen Margaritas

Thank you for your incredible support and love for Puesto, on to year 2 and brining more Taco Smiles to everyone!

Happy Birthday to us

Enter Jen Queen, Lucien Conner and Ian Ward, three of Adler’s favorite local mixologists who just happened to have recently formed a new cocktail consulting power team dubbed the Queen-Conner-Ward Collective.

Debuting at Puesto the week of February 18 are the mixologists’ spin on traditional micheladas and margaritas. The micheladas are made with Pacifico and come rimmed with a homemade tajin made from chili powder and cayenne, dehydrated lemon, sage, oregano, salt and sugar; a logo glass is included in the price and drinkers can bring it back for $1 off their next michelada.

“The La Jolla community welcomed us from the moment we opened our doors last February and we are so grateful,” Puesto co-owner Eric Adler said. “In 2013 we are looking forward to continuing to feed the hungry residents of La Jolla, while supporting organizations, events and schools. We want to work more closely with the Village Merchants Association to make sure La Jolla receives even more recognition, both from San Diegans and visitors, as a top destination for arts, culture and dining.

Puesto is family-owned. Myself, my brother, Alan, and our cousin, Isi Lombrozo, all live in La Jolla and graduated from La Jolla High, so we have a really special connection to this community and we want to see it continue the growth it has experienced over the last two years, with more restaurants and shops opening up, and more visitors.”

When brothers Alan and Eric Adler first tasted Chef Luis Gonzalez’ tacos, they loved them so much that they wanted to open a restaurant. “We’d tasted his cooking at catered parties in San Diego and Los Angeles, and teamed up with our cousin Isi Lombrozo to open Puesto in February (2012),” Eric Adler said. “We wanted to offer La Jolla an upscale Mexican restaurant serving his street food.” Read more here
