Had highly questionable Rubio’s take out during the week and needed to scratch the itch for something authentic. Cocktails are excellent if pricey. Service was great.

You cannot beat La Puerta’s Happy Hour (HH). 3-5 daily. Half off cocktails, appetizers and quesadillas. It gets packed but highly highly recommend you swing by. Cocktails are so good and their chips and guacamole are a MUST! Great shareable dish

I tried the Tijuana (Aka Cesar Salad). Taste was ok, just chicken a little overcooked! But maybe that’s just part of the presentation. I love Tecate on the can! I love the Mexican curious of reutilizing cans… and just add a little bit from home nostalgia

Abel Jimenez
One of our favorite happy hour spots, great drinks, great location in mission hills, friendly staff, food taste is good just wished they added more items to the happy hour menu. Happy hour menu has been the same for almost 3 years since our first visit. Overall great, would give 5 stars if more items on Happy hour.
