Playing off the success of the La Jolla location, this Puesto in the revitalized police headquarters retail zone is bigger and more upscale with less focus on fast-casual food. Here, the attention turns to craft cocktails, plated presentation and lingering over margaritas. Tacos are everywhere in San Diego, but these kick it up a notch with sustainable, quality ingredients and a twist of cheese fried on to the tortilla... don't cringe, it's delicious. Bright, contemporary art meshes with rustic wood tables. There's seating indoors on two stories as well as on a patio. Still, you go for the tacos more than anything. Vegetarians opt for squash blossom tacos while meat-lovers gravitate to chicken al pastor or the lobster taco.
