Award-winning Mexican restaurant and taco destination at 1026 Wall St in La Jolla Village, 92037, two blocks from La Jolla Cove — Puesto's original founding location. Founded by first-generation Mexican American brothers in 2012, Puesto is a multiple Tacolandia winner for Best Taco, and was voted Best Mexican, Best Tacos, and Best Margarita by La Jolla Village News readers. Every tortilla is made in-house from organic blue corn, a craft-first approach that shares the Village dining scene with La Corriente La Jolla on Pearl Street, which brings Baja ceviche to the same neighborhood. The open-wall exhibition kitchen and Chor Boogie murals define the lively interior. Signature items: al pastor tacos, crispy melted cheese burritos, filet mignon tacos, and the Puesto Perfect Margarita. Happy hour Mon–Fri 3–5pm. Taco Tuesday half-off tacos from 3pm. Open daily 11am–9pm, Fri–Sat until 10pm — and late-night taco cravings that outlast Puesto's kitchen send locals to Rigoberto's Taco Shop on La Jolla Boulevard, open 24 hours.
