La Puerta

What people say

Mexican restaurants are known for their vibrant atmosphere, delicious food, and refreshing drinks. La Puerta in San Diego is no exception. This Mexican restaurant and bar & grill has been recognized as one of the top 5 in CityBeat's annual "Best Of" program in two categories: Best Tequila Bar and Best Happy Hour.

La Puerta's menu boasts a variety of mouth-watering dishes, including their famous Taqueso Tacos - crispy fried cheese with pollo or carne, avocado, and chipotle crema served with sides of rice, beans, and rajas con crema. And if you're looking to host an event, La Puerta's private space disco ball jungle room can accommodate up to 50 people.

But what really sets La Puerta apart is their impressive drink selection. From frozen margaritas to unique cocktails like Tippa My Tongue (made with El Silencio Espadin Mezcal, pineapple juice, ginger syrup, lime juice, and smoked chili bitters) and Welcome to the Jungle (made with Uruapan Anejo Charanda, Pedro Ximenes Sherry, Cynar, a large cube of ice, pinch of salt and lime coin), there's something for everyone.

And let's not forget about their unbeatable happy hour deals - half off all apps, quesadillas, and the entire bar every day from 3-5pm. So whether you're looking for a fun night out or a place to host your next event, La Puerta is definitely worth checking out.
