" La Puerta is an excellent spot for a casual night out with friends. The happy hour deals are unbeatable! I tried their spicy margarita, which was perfectly balanced, and the tacos were very satisfying. I especially loved the fish tacos, which were fresh and flavorful. The only downside was the noise level, which made it a little hard to have a conversation at times. Regardless, the food and drinks more than made up for it, and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I kicked off our weekend with dinner at La Puerta. The service was friendly but the wait times were longer than expected during dinner rush. I ordered the burrito, which was enormous and filling! I'd say it was authentic, packed with flavors, but not quite what I was hoping for. Still, the ambiance was fun, and I could see why it’s a favorite among locals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely experience at La Puerta last week. The decor with celebrity mugshots is quirky and adds to the lively venue. I ordered the Cochinita Pibil tacos, which were delightful – just the right blend of spices. Service was friendly but a bit slow during the peak dinner hour. Apart from the wait, I'd say the food more than made up for it. Will happily return for their happy hour specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried La Puerta and was blown away by the vibrant atmosphere and the delicious food. The burrito I ordered was superb, generously filled with fresh ingredients that were bursting with flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring our drinks were never empty. I highly recommend trying their quesadillas; they were perfectly grilled and came with a mouthwatering salsa. Will definitely visit again on my next trip to San Diego! " (*Curated Review*)

" tried La Puerta last weekend. Let me tell you, the experience is not just about the food but the vibe as well! The lively music and fun decor create such a welcoming environment. The shrimp tacos were fresh and tasty, but the star of the night was definitely the mango margarita! We had to wait a bit for our food to arrive, but it was worth every minute. Overall, this place is a gem in San Diego! " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at La Puerta was a fun experience! The staff was upbeat and welcoming. I noticed how fresh everything tasted! I had the Cochinita Pibil tacos, which were phenomenal in taste. My only complaint would be the wait for a table - it was quite crowded. I can see why though, given the quality of the food. Absolutely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I visited La Puerta, I was amazed by the unique vibe and atmosphere. The dish I ordered was the shrimp and fish tacos; both of them were delightful. Each taco was loaded fresh ingredients. The service was top-notch; our server was cheerful and engaging. The only downside was that it took a while to get a table, but once you're seated, it's worth the wait. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
