Puesto at the Headquarters

We arrived around 3:45pm. There was a conference downtown, so it was busy causing a 30-minute wait for a table for 2. The hostesses were nice and let us know we could order food and/or drinks at these small chairs by the bar. We weren’t able to order because both lines for the bar were so long. However, once our table was ready everything was great. KORDEL was our server and he was attentive, quick, and nice. He asked about food allergies and made great suggestions. The shrimp and filet mignon tacos were our favorites. The rice and beans cost $4 extra, but were worth it. They no longer have happy hour. Instead, they have half-off all tacos from 3pm to close on Taco Tuesday. On Thursday they have another offer that includes half off margaritas. I would only go on a Tuesday because the regular taco prices are wild. ASK FOR KORDEL during your next Taco Tuesday outing.

We chose Puesto for a get together given they have a pup friendly patio , was walkable from our hotel and took reservations. Service was great, delicious watermelon margaritas and the food was tasty. I found pricing to be a bit high for what you were getting/portion (specifically the bowls) Also, we were never offered water for pups which is fine but compared to other pup friendly restaurants felt like a miss (we are spoiled?)

We had lunch at Puesto at The Headquarters and it was excellent! Our server Adrian was super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. We ordered a mix of tacos including Lobster, Filet Mignon, Wagyu Brisket, Ribeye, Baja Fish, and Carnitas, and every single one was packed with flavor. The crispy melted cheese and salsas really take them to the next level. The Puesto Guacamole was fresh and nicely seasoned, a solid starter. We had the Michelada and the Coke slushie, both really refreshing and perfect for a midday meal. The only letdown was the Churro Sundae, which looked great but didn’t really taste like churro. It could use more churro pieces, cinnamon sugar, or sauce to bring it together. Overall, the tacos are absolutely on point. Next time, I’d skip the apps and dessert and just stick with tacos and drinks because that’s where Puesto really shines.

Came with a party of 6. Food was perfection and came out hot. Service was delayed a bit but they were busy for a Sunday evening with a big conference in town. Staff very friendly though. Highly recommend. Seating on two floors, try to get a table upstairs overlooking the shops. It’s a cool spot for cocktails too. Delicious mojitos. Got the chicken enchiladas - ate every bite!! My guests loved the short rib and filet tacos as well.

I truly appreciate the authenticity of the dishes in this restaurant. While it is not your typical Mexican dishes they are inspired by real Mexican loved recipes. Someone in my party announced that this was The Best Horchata and I have to agree. It was the creamy and sweet, yet refreshing. We had a variety of the menu items and not one dish disappointed the party. The ingredients and taste were authentically Mexican. No preservative taste anywhere. The Nogada Guacamole, obviously inspired by Chiles en Nogada, was delicious. The Esquite, while in not really a fan of esquite in general, i prefer it on the cob, but this was so good every last crumb was eaten. Totally a great experience. Can't wait to go back. The staff was super friendly and amazing as well. Overall a great experience.

Stopped into Puesto in Seaport Village and had such a great experience. It’s one of those spots that feels both local and fancy, perfect for a casual night out or a quick bite. The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming, and the bar had that perfect balance of fun energy and good conversation. Reyna and Damian were fantastic behind the bar. Ive seen Reyna a few times. Shes always on the details, genuinely friendly, attentive, and just on it with everything. They made the whole experience even better. And seriously, the steak tacos are an absolute must. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor. Easily one of my favorite neighborhood go-tos now.

Just follow the Pink Puesto truck to the best taco and fun drinks restaurant in San Diego. Love, love, love the tacos! Service was spectacular! Thank you Elsa! We ordered several types of tacos, guacamole, and chips, and some wonderful drinks. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Glad we came here. So close to many hotels and things to do.

I’m from Michigan, and the first time we visited San Diego, we ended up dining here twice…it was that good! On our next trip back, we made it our birthday lunch spot, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. The service was amazing…our waitress even gave us a free appetizer because we waited (which was only about five minutes!). Super generous and thoughtful. The food was full of flavor, the drinks were great, and it was the perfect way to kick off our trip after getting off the plane. Highly recommend!
