• Mexican • Mission Valley

Mexico City born. California raised. Puesto brings the vibrant soul of CDMX through a Southern California lens-bold, modern Mexican with an edge. 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. Puesto is family-founded by the Adler and Lombrozo brothers, first-gen Mexican Americans raised on tamales and tradition. It's a love letter to the flavors they grew up with, reimagined with Mexico City energy and SoCal spirit. Made by food people. For food people.

    From the moment we arrived, the spectacular views had us thinking, "this is going to be great" — and the evening delivered on every front. The food was excellent. I ordered the fresh catch (swordfish) which was perfectly prepared, and my husband tried the yellowtail fish sandwich — a fish neither of us had ever had before. We were both impressed. We ended the meal with the Brookie dessert, which was absolutely delicious. For drinks, my espresso martini was outstanding. The featured cocktail was just okay, but that's a minor note in an otherwise great evening. Our server was friendly and attentive without being intrusive — exactly the right balance. The standout moment of the night, though, was when a blanket was offered for my legs on what had turned into a cool evening. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and truly elevates the experience. Highly recommend — this place thinks of everything!
