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.

    I’m so happy that Joey has expanded to California. I’ve enjoyed Joey in Seattle since my intern days at Microsoft and this was no exception. The location here in La Jolla is beautiful and the service exceptional. We were warmly greeted by the Hostess with a refreshing drink and then our server Kat continued the high level of customer service. She consistently checked on us, made reasonable accommodations to our orders, and just made our lunch enjoyable. She even gave us a surprise dessert and we weren’t celebrating anything special we were just having lunch. More importantly, our food came out hot, quickly, and the portions were perfect. My sister and I ordered the steak frites and the steak was well seasoned and the temperature was perfect. Our Mum had the Joey Burger which she loved. When we left we weren’t celebrating anything sent away with the same warmth with which we were greeted.

    Our experience was wonderful. Gracie was our server and she was outstanding and attentive. The POG cocktail was so tasty. It is made with 100% Hawaiian grown fruit juice. We had calamari for our appetizer and it was the best we've ever had. The baked fish and banana leaf steamed fish and shrimp meals were also excellent. Tender fish, and perfectly cooked and seasoned rice and veggies. A must get is the Hula pie for dessert. It was huge!
