Born in Mexico City, raised in California. Puesto La Jolla channels the intensity of CDMX street food through a bold Southern California lens. Seasonal menus, creative takes, and the best ingredients in the hands of better chefs. Every tortilla starts with organic blue corn, made in-house like it’s been since 1200 BC. Our award-winning tacos and margaritas turn the flavors we crave—al pastor dripping with pineapple, crispy melted queso, bright citrus, smoky heat—up to 11. This is Mexicano Moderno. Made by food people. For food people.
