La Puerta was a huge disappointment. The ceviche was average at best and while the chips were fine, the atmosphere completely ruined the experience. The music was absurdly loud and obnoxious, with heavy bass that gave me a headache and made the entire seating area vibrate.
The experience started off poorly with the hostess, who seemed completely unimpressed and sat us down without even speaking to us. The food didn’t get any better. The rice tasted old, the tacos were overly oily, and nothing felt fresh or well executed. I was genuinely upset that on a short two day trip to California, this is what I ended up eating.
The surf and turf tacos and the mix and match tacos were supposed to be the highlight, but they still didn’t redeem the meal. The only thing that was actually good were the refried beans.

Good food, Awful “digital” Drinks menu.
Well, What could have been a good experience was ruined by the beverages menu. First, they only have drinks menu where you have to scan a QR code, once you scan, you are greeted with messy adds (mostly about fish or drinks available elsewhere but even explocit ones if you’re lucky—mot recommended for a family), then once you navigate it successfully, drink menu is not very clear or intiutive at all (certainly not for regulars, they don’t have Margarittas written in the menu)—bad!! When the food came, it was good.
Wouldnt recommend it to a family or friends. May be if you are regular and know what you like, it may work.

Great place! They’re rocking and rolling like a band that has it all. Salsas are flavorful and kicky and the taco/burrito fillings are hits. The agave selections are chart toppers as well.

If i can say one thing, this place has a personality. Yhe atmosphere is great and just gives a vibe I haven’t found elsewhere. Its and warm and homey despite the open air, youd think itd be cold but they keep the place well regulated with the fireplace and patio heaters.
Each of the servers I interacted with where friendly and provided exceptional service.
I tried a few things on their menu and they where absolutely delicious, these items include
Carna Asada- witch made my taste buds sing. Its a safe and delicious option.
Pollo Asado- witch was delicious though the meat wasn’t as falvorfull the garnish balanced it well.
Carnitas- was good and one of their top picks on the menu. I would say if your sensitive to grease then this one might not be for you. Otherwise dig in!
Each of their taco plates comes with rice, rajas con crema (an onion and green pepper mixed with sause), and refried beans. I suggest mixing the rice and rajas con crema together. The rice on its own isn’t anything to brag about and the rajas con crema is kinda off putting on their own; but together they make a nice flaver balence.
Over all this place is definitely worth; and deserves, its ranking for top 10 tacos in the us!

I had takeaway deliveried to me. I had the carnitas burrito and it was really nice. It was really big (didn’t manage to finish it) and had plenty of meat. The chips were good too

This place was really nice. Bar was well put and ample amounts of whiskey and bourbon. Quality was on point as food was crazy good. You must go there. The male bartender didn’t get his name, but he made amazing drinks! You should go and get the 1lb socal burrito.

So glad we picked this for our first night in San Diego! La Puerta had a cool ambiance and reminded me of restaurants I’ve been to in Miami. We ate outside by a little fire and even though slightly chilly outside, the fire kept it warm enough. We loved the food! We started with some of the cochinita flautitas, my husband got one of the quesadillas and loved it all so much he said he wanted to eat here every night. I got the surf & turf tacos and they were also really tasty! The sauce was so good! The churros & ice cream was a great finish. There seemed to be a slight mix-up when our server took a break and the other server didn’t visit us to bring out dessert, but a manager was super helpful and even comped the dessert, which was kind of him. Would definitely recommend stopping in! Reservations are probably recommended although we were able to be seated very quickly without one.

The picture makes no justice to the food. I love it here!! Been here a couple of times and loved everything I’ve tried. The drinks are pretty good and the chips/totopos are freshly made. The sides are so good!! Is rare to see rajas as a side (besides beans and red rice).
They were super nice to my service dogs and brought him treats.

What a great Mexican restaurant when the waiter took a picture of us he also took a selfie of himself so we included it what a great idea. I am not kidding the food was out of this world their burritos are huge and absolutely delicious along with their tacos and guacamole and drinks

Came here at night on a Monday night week day and it was not busy at all. We had the carne asada nachos fries, potato flats and surf and turf tacos and burrito! Loved the live plant wall. Service was quick and friendly. Its street parking so expect to look for parking in the neighborhood.
