This is one of the better Mexican restaurants in the downtown San Diego area. Great environment, the food is amazing and the drink selection is plentiful.

Very good value for the quantity of food. The tacos were decent. We really liked the chips and salsa. The space is very open. Service was very good. I’d go back with friends. There is a bar here too.

Food was absolutely delicious. The shrimp quesadilla was amazing, there was a huge helping of shrimp in there and they were cooked perfectly, which normally doesn’t happen. The guacamole and chips were delicious and the salsa tasted great. The drinks were definitely good, the sangria margaritas mix was interesting to say the least. 100% recommend. Decor gives you a chill feel to enjoy your evening in peace.

Went here for lunch on a Saturday. Please was packed and was Seated at the bar quickly. Ambiance is great for night out. Margaritas are good too! They have a nice selection of tequila at the full service bar. The 2 salsa that came with the chips were absolutely delicious. I had the mix and match tacos. Pollo asada and grilled veggie. They were great and came with some rice and beans. Will definitely make this a staple during my San Diego trips

This was definitely a yummy treat! First and foremost the margaritas were absolutely delicious. The food had generous portions that did not compromise the taste. It was so good that I also had lunch at the other La Puerta location during my stay in San Diego. That speaks volumes!! Two thumbs up!

La Puerta in Gaslamp Quarter, SD – Mexican food on point! Rock n’ Roll decor is very cool! Bar and seating area wallpapered with mug shots of musicians. Bathrooms have more collages of photos in an entertaining way. Love the vibe and the staff very helpful for questions about food or their neighborhood for travelers.

This was recommended as one of the best places to get Mexican in San Diego and that recommendation was spot on! Everything here was delicious, well-priced, and the portions were huge. The 1lb burrito is LITERALLY a pound and our server was so kind/attentive. Also recommend the queso! They do not take reservations so keep that in mind’

La Puerta is a great option when looking for good, authentic Mexican food in the San Diego area! The restaurant itself is narrow and a little limited in seating on busy days such as weekends and during happy hours, but surprisingly we were seated right away around 3:00pm on a Friday, that happened to also be a Padres game day. I think we just got lucky in our timing because the bar area packed in quickly soon after! It is definitely a cool vibe for meeting up with friends and pregaming the Padres game – you may even get to see some cool characters! We ordered the Veggie Fries to start – they were smothered in cheese, grilled onion, poblanos, guacamole and pico de gallo. Honestly the portion of fries would have been enough to fill us up had we not been super hungry, but we also ordered a veggie quesadilla that was huge! Plenty enough to share between 2, maybe even 3 or 4 people! Oh and did I mention how good their margaritas are? Like award-winningly good! Definitely give this place a try!

Cool place with great food and friendly service. We went before a Padres game and it was pretty packed, but the bar staff was friendly and attentive. Great surf and turf tacos and good frozen margaritas. Highly recommend when in Gaslamp.
