About This Location

The large patios stagger in and out of towering steel doors, which open to original walls exposing layers of history. Internationally acclaimed designer Thomas Schoos has imagined the space as an industrial homage to the streets of Mexico City. Multiple modern murals from artist Chor Boogie lend award-winning San Diego tacos a vibrant backdrop.

Come enjoy authentic Mexican food right in the heart of San Diego's Seaport Village. Puesto offers award-winning tacos and margaritas as well as its own selection of cerveza by acclaimed brewmaster Doug Hasker.
