La Puerta

Considering that we showed up at 6pm on a Saturday with a group of 8 and no reservation, they worked miracles to get us a table immediately with zero wait. Shawn and Taylor were both stellar. All the food was fresh. The appetizers were yummy, try the potato and cochinita flautitas. All the drinks were good. The tacos were of good portion and very fresh. Came out nice and hot. All of them were yummy—from the pork to the pollo to the carne asada or the shrimp. You can’t go wrong. Pricing was great too. Under $300 for 8 people including tip. We sat outside and it was very pleasant. Indoors seemed deafeningly loud.

Delicious spicy margaritas and tacos. They have a special 3$ taco Tuesday deal. Excellent pork tacos. Would not recommend the shrimp. Drinks are on the pricey side but were very good. The spices margarita was actually spiced which was appreciated. Would recommend and will come back again!

If i can say one thing, this place has a personality. Yhe atmosphere is great and just gives a vibe I haven't found elsewhere. Its and warm and homey despite the open air, youd think itd be cold but they keep the place well regulated with the fireplace and patio heaters. Each of the servers I interacted with where friendly and provided exceptional service. I tried a few things on their menu and they where absolutely delicious, these items include Carna Asada- witch made my taste buds sing. Its a safe and delicious option. Pollo Asado- witch was delicious though the meat wasn't as falvorfull the garnish balanced it well. Carnitas- was good and one of their top picks on the menu. I would say if your sensitive to grease then this one might not be for you. Otherwise dig in! Each of their taco plates comes with rice, rajas con crema (an onion and green pepper mixed with sause), and refried beans. I suggest mixing the rice and rajas con crema together. The rice on its own isn't anything to brag about and the rajas con crema is kinda off putting on their own; but together they make a nice flaver balence. Over all this place is definitely worth; and deserves, its ranking for top 10 tacos in the us!

Good food, Awful “digital” Drinks menu. Well, What could have been a good experience was ruined by the beverages menu. First, they only have drinks menu where you have to scan a QR code, once you scan, you are greeted with messy adds (mostly about fish or drinks available elsewhere but even explocit ones if you’re lucky—mot recommended for a family), then once you navigate it successfully, drink menu is not very clear or intiutive at all (certainly not for regulars, they don’t have Margarittas written in the menu)—bad!! When the food came, it was good. Wouldnt recommend it to a family or friends. May be if you are regular and know what you like, it may work.

La Puerta was a huge disappointment. The ceviche was average at best and while the chips were fine, the atmosphere completely ruined the experience. The music was absurdly loud and obnoxious, with heavy bass that gave me a headache and made the entire seating area vibrate. The experience started off poorly with the hostess, who seemed completely unimpressed and sat us down without even speaking to us. The food didn’t get any better. The rice tasted old, the tacos were overly oily, and nothing felt fresh or well executed. I was genuinely upset that on a short two day trip to California, this is what I ended up eating. The surf and turf tacos and the mix and match tacos were supposed to be the highlight, but they still didn’t redeem the meal. The only thing that was actually good were the refried beans.
