La Puerta

Came to San Diego for the day, specifically to try this restaurant, and it didn't disappoint. The service was stellar. First, we ordered chicken soup and unfortunately it was lukewarm but our waiter was really accommodating and removed the charge. The signature carnitas and Pancakes was exceptional in taste and presentation. Also, it's really huge, couldn't even eat a fourth of it, but I will add that it traveled and ate well later. We also enjoyed the pastor quesadilla though I will say that there refried beans and rice were subpar and lacked any distinct flavor. I'll visit here often.

It was our first time eating here. Place was in the Gaslamp district. Tacos did not disappoint. I ordered the Mix 'n' Match signature street tacos. And chose asada, carnitas, and chicken. Meal comes with rice, beans, rajas (removed them). Carnitas and asada tacos were delicious, chicken was ok. My drink was When Doves cry and it was also pretty good. Parking was a block away good for the legs I guess.

We came all the way from Toronto Canada to eat at La Peurta. I discovered it while I was in San Diego last year. I made sure to bring my girlfriend so she can taste American/Mexican food. The carne asada fries are the best that I’ve had from any restaurant. The flavour is exactly what I remembered. Soft and tender beef on top of crispy fries, topped with premium salsa and sour cream. I’m drooling And don’t forget to order margaritas. They don’t taste as strong as they are

Wow, we are really impressed. The Sopa de Pozole, a dish you can't find everywhere, was fantastic. Atmosphere was super lively and relaxing - the menus are printed on reimagined record covers. Such a vibe. Waiters were attentive and friendly. I loved how much guac they put on the tacos. And, as an added bonus, the chips and salsa were delicious. Thanks for a great dining experience!!
