La Jolla Cove absolutely stole my heart! My son and I made it our morning ritual to visit the sea lions every day during our stay, and it quickly became the highlight of our trip. We would sit there for hours, just soaking in the beauty of nature and the sounds of the waves, the sea breeze, and the playful calls of the sea lions echoing across the cove. There’s something so peaceful and grounding about being there; it felt like time slowed down. The view is simply breathtaking, especially in the morning when the mist rolls in over the water. Every day was a little different: some mornings the sea lions were full of energy, barking and diving through the waves, while other days they were sprawled out like total beach bums, sunbathing without a care in the world. On weekends, it does get busier with tourists, but I didn’t mind at all. It made for great people-watching and added a fun, lively energy to the peaceful setting. The location itself is perfect… close to everything yet still feels like a hidden gem of natural beauty. If you visit San Diego, you must experience La Jolla Cove. It’s pure magic, a place where you can truly connect with nature and make memories that stay with you long after you leave.

La Jolla is a California dream—stunning ocean views, plenty of walking, and tons of spots for coffee, food, or dessert. Restrooms are right by the sea lions’ beach, and while parking can be tricky, nearby garages make it doable. Perfect for a day of exploring and soaking in the scenery!

Beautiful panoramic view of beach and shore. Lots of animals and birds to watch. Very cool and breezy at times. Parking is difficult so be prepared to park little far from this place.

Pretty great place to see birds and sea lions with an epic backdrop (if you can get over the smell) I saw a Brant’s Cormorant there and many more birds I will put pictures of below. Definitely should check it out. The sea lions and birds are so abundant and it is such a unique seen. You can park anywhere or walk if you are staying in La Jolla. Enjoy the photographs.

La Jolla Cove is an awesome place to visit near San Diego. It is just a short drive outside of the city and offers some beautiful coastline scenery and marine life. There were multiple sea lions and birds to see and it is a great experience.

should be on the list if visiting sandieog. dream for surfers. they have tours that do surfing and snorkeling. rental equipments available too. parking is very limited and always busy. we had to stroll around for 15min to get parking spot on Wednesday morning, though we got free parking for 3hours. plan your visit either early morning or evening to watch sunrise/sunset as it's picturesque. unfortunately we realized this once we visited it.

Very cute seals 🦭 I was there in the rainy day. It would definitely be better in summer day especially during sunset.

This hike was amazing! 🌊 The entry fee was $20, and we drove all the way up to the top parking lot to start the West Overlook Trail (about 3 miles). The beginning was mostly downhill with incredible ocean views and cool lookout spots. The way back is uphill, so it’s definitely a workout—but worth it. I highly recommend wearing good shoes and bringing plenty of water, especially if you’re hiking midday.

Breathtakingly beautiful and serene! The mountains on one side and the ocean on the other side makes it even more scenic. So many beautiful trails leading to the peaks where you can watch the sunset or sunrise in the most spectacular views. I loved going here and will come back again and again! Hands down 5 star!

Beautiful beach, lot of trails - easy to moderate. Great views. I ended up doing many easy ones just for the views. Some trails can get very crowded and you may not enjoy the experience. Best solution is to go at your own pace and let the stream of people pass!! My best decision was to walk back along the beach after completing the trails. That was more adventurous and thrilling!!

Came here on a Friday afternoon late September. $20 day use fee. Did my hikes from the parking lot across the road from the visitor center. Good amount of parking. I could see it being an issue on really busy days. Porta potties there with hand washing stations. Pretty clean porta potties that didnt smell too bad. Decently warm day but there was a breeze most of the time making it pleasant most of the time. Hiked to Red Butte, Razor Point, Yuma Overlook, and the beach. Took a bit more than an hour including meditation and picture time. Downhill mostly to beach then back uphill to parking lot. Mostly gentle. Nothing too crazy. I am a middle aged guy that sits at a computer working everyday for most of the day and have some mild asthma and still did just fine. Amazing stuff. Although there were plenty of people there, there were still quiet times to enjoy the ambiance and sounds and meditate. Scenery is unreal, and the trails are well marked. Pictures I attach do speak a thousand words and display the incredible scenery. Got my beloved souvenir patch and postcards at the VC, which has no bathrooms or water for water bottle. Highly recommended. I posted lots of pics because this place deserves it.

A stunning place to hike in San Diego! You’ll see animals, geology, gorgeous ocean views, and our famous Torrey Pines. With parking lots both at beach level and on the cliffs, there are many options to start your hikes. There are numerous trails which intersect, so you can meander and never get lost. Whether you want an easy walk or a challenging hillside hike, you’ll find one here. This is a state park and admission at the time of this review was $20 per car. You can park on Torrey Pines Road for free if you can find a spot and walk in. We visited on a Sunday and arrived around 12 o’clock, so it was busy there was still still parking available. When we left at 1:30 it was much emptier, so mornings are definitely the busier time to go. I HIGHLY recommend Torrey pines for sightseeing and hiking. It’s the epitome of natural San Diego!

Fantastic place to walk, hike, jog or run. There is something for everyone. The trails can be narrow in some places and there are some steep areas, but those may have steps. It's so vast that I may have only passed fewer than 25 people in the hour I was there.

This is a must-do in San Diego. As a local, it has the most beautiful views and great hikes. For cyclists, going up Torrey Pines is a right of passage. Not for the faint of heart. Parking can be a bit challenging during the summer but it’s totally worth it. The best sunsets in San San Diego. Bring a picnic or a burrito from Roberto’s which is right around the corner and enjoy the nature!

Windansea Beach is the MOST beautiful little hidden gem! The giant rock structures make it supremely more unique than any other beach that I’ve visited. The shore area is fairly small allowing minimal people to gather there. There are several benches on the side walk to sit and overlook the ocean. The water crashes against the giant rock structures creating a beautiful and majestic scene. This place is really one of a kind and a must see beach.

Such a beautiful hidden gem. The beach was pretty quiet when we visited. Beautiful waves and sunset.

Favourite beach during our stay in San Diego. Calm, nice water entry and a bit more of a private feel than some of the larger beaches. Enjoyed watching the surfers and boogie boarders while relaxing. Parking was easy in November, but I can see how it would be tricky in the busy months.

Beautiful little beach. Mostly street parking. Water was pretty warm today, great for swimming and catching waves. No restrooms. Bring your portable potty and rinser.

Was a nice beach to watch the ocean at sunset. Cloudy but still beautiful. I asked my gf to marry me there so I recommend the beach for a beautiful walk with your loved ones.

Beautiful place to walk on a sunny day with loved ones. I like to go to Trader Joe’s to get a charcuterie board to set up a picnic with my boyfriend. Very relaxing and serene!

This is such a beautiful San Diego beach! One of my favorite things about this location is it has both sandy shore and some cliffs. It's perfect for a mix of beautiful landscape and makes for a stunning sunset spot. Parking is easy to find on the neighborhood streets. It's a large enough beach that even when it's crowded it doesn't feel packed. Such an amazing beach for photos or to just relax ☀️

I had a fantastic time visiting the museum with my boyfriend and his sister. The artwork was captivating, and the scenic setting made it even more special. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy quality time together after brunch. We all had a great time exploring the art and soaking in the beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves contemporary art! Below are a few 50mm film photos I captured during our visit:

This has been on my list of things to see for a while. So glad we finally made it. The building is massive with three floors of exhibits. Very tall ceilings and open space make it airy and the art is not crowded. The floors are numbered oddly since they go under street level...not sure if we even saw the second floor! There are restrooms tucked away down long hallways.. we needed to ask where they were. Elevators available if you don't do stairs. Gorgeous views of L Jolla!

This was my first visit. I live in San Diego, so admission was $20. Children are free. You can check the admission fee at the reception desk. The exterior is small, but the interior is spacious and has a variety of contemporary art works on display, which I enjoyed. There is also a courtyard, and the view of La Jolla is truly beautiful. The best part is that even if you go outside, you can come back in before the entrance closes. Parking is street parking only.

As an avid museum goer, this was a solid museum. There’s a lot of abstract or minimalistic here which isn’t really my favorite but all the artwork here was pretty cool! I came on a Thursday, general admission is typically $25 but one Thursday out of the month admission is FREE! There are 3 floors in the wide concrete building. It’s very accessible for all kinds of people. They have a vast array of artist on display including a WARHOL! They also have a fantastic view of the water near their sculpture garden. They also have an amazing gift shop. I saw some books I’d love to buy along with some pins from the Basiquat and Harring collection. I spent about an hour and a half here and loved and every moment of it.

This was a great gallery. They had a lot of really cool pieces. When I visited, the feature exhibit was of works by Alex Katz. I hadn't heard of him but he had some good works. The rotating permanent collection was good too.

The Museum of Contemporary in San Diego boasts an undeniably stunning location. Perched with panoramic ocean views, it's a feast for the eyes even before you step inside. The on-site restaurant is a definite highlight, offering a delightful dining experience with equally impressive vistas. If you're looking for a picturesque spot to enjoy a meal, this is it. However, the museum itself left much to be desired. While the setting is breathtaking, the art collection felt underwhelming. The variety and uniqueness of the displayed pieces were lacking, and I found myself searching for something to truly capture my attention. Furthermore, the museum felt surprisingly empty during my visit, with numerous vacant spaces, contributing to a somewhat hollow atmosphere. While the location and restaurant are strong draws, the art itself failed to deliver. Ultimately, I cannot recommend this museum as a must-see for tourists or a place I would personally revisit. If you're seeking a scenic dining experience, by all means, check out the restaurant/cafe. But for a fulfilling contemporary art experience, I would suggest exploring other cultural offerings in San Diego.

Food and ambiance were great! Lovely afternoon lunch on the terrace, quiet and serene. Service was attentive and helpful. Food, fresh and flavorful. The ocean view can’t be beat! Highly recommend!

World class para gliding and hand gliding center. Amazing scenic beauty of stiff uneven cliffs and beach. Restaurants and Bar are available. Nice tourist spot. Almost crowded during sun set time. Enjoyed sun set at this beautiful point

Torrey Pines Gliderport in San Diego is a world-famous aviation site perched atop the scenic cliffs of La Jolla, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Known as one of the best coastal soaring locations in the world, it attracts hang gliders, paragliders, and remote-control model sailplane enthusiasts year-round. The site has a rich history dating back to the early 1900s, when aviation pioneers first tested gliders there. Today, visitors can watch colorful paragliders take off and glide effortlessly over the ocean or even take tandem flights with certified instructors. With its combination of adventure, history, and stunning coastal beauty, Torrey Pines Gliderport is a must-visit destination for thrill-seekers and sightseers alike.

Absolutely amazing experience! I was paired up with a very experienced and fun pilot, Alex. He made me feel completely comfortable and safe. But he did some tricks and let me take over for a few minutes as well. The view and the feeling of soaring with the birds is hard to describe. Try it, you won't be disappointed. Do call to check the winds or go early and sign up then hike around the area and come back when you see gliders going up. Brought my gopro and got great video. But they also will take pics of you. Tuesday and Thursday if you pay cash you get those free.

Great walking trails. Loved this. Also access to the beach via stairs. It's a long walk down. Beautiful homes on the cliffs. It's not a difficult hike up and down, but a lot of fun.

Under construction right now beautiful place to walk our dog take a hike have a little snack and listen to the bands that come and play there. Great place to take the kids for the afternoon

Visited this spot to watch the hang gliders and hike the dirt paths. We followed the winding dirt path down to Black’s Beach where we walked along the water averting our eyes from the nude sunbathers. If you aren’t aware, the nudity at Black’s Beach will catch you by surprise. Everyone was minding their own business though, so it was no big deal. The hike back up the cliff was exhausting with the many stairs and steep incline. We stopped by the cafe for some lemonade and then rested on the upper deck while the hang gliders came and went. Watching the whole process over and over made it look easy and very safe. Everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time. The bathrooms were closed when we visited, but there were portapotties available. Mid-day on a Tuesday, the parking lot was pretty full, but I was able to find a spot close to the entrance. I don’t recommend visiting right after a car wash because the parking lot is very dusty and bumpy. The flights are $200-$275 per person for a 20 minute ride and I believe they offer free photographs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Otherwise, you have to pay for the photos they take. Might have to return soon to check “hang gliding” off of my bucket list!

The glider port is a friendly place. I'll be at a little difficult to navigate If it's your first time. Nothing beats the views where you get a up close experience with the pairagliders landing and taking off. Good food and libations can be found as well. There's plenty of trails along the cliffs around the Gliderport.

We visited this restaurant to celebrate our one year anniversary, and while there were some really lovely touches, the overall experience didn’t quite live up to the high expectations, especially given the price point. On the positive side, the team customized our menus with a sweet anniversary message, gave us a beautiful window seat with a view, and never made us feel rushed. The service was decent, and the overall vibe was calm and upscale. That said, for a bill that came out to over $700 for two people (with tip), I expected a higher level of attention to detail and execution. I ordered the surf and turf ($157) with my steak medium rare, but it came out medium well. I typically don’t send things back, but at that price, I wanted it done right. To the restaurant's credit, the waiter apologized, had a new steak prepared, and removed the lobster tail from the bill. Still, it left me feeling underwhelmed. There were other small misses, like the yucca fries my partner and I ordered to share. They came out with truffle oil on them, despite us asking for it on the side. Not a huge deal in isolation, but again, for a high-end experience, I expected more care. Maybe it’s my bias coming from the NYC area, where even mid-range restaurants often deliver a wow factor. While this place might be worth it for a one-time special occasion, I personally left disappointed and wouldn’t rush back.

We visited there 21 years ago and we excited to bring our friends for dinner. I made reservations for 14 a week in advance and was able to get in for a sunset dinner. Located in the beach in LaJolla it is a great place to dine. The service was wonderful and atmosphere was elegant. I had the filet mignon and Cesar salad.

I had the pleasure of dining at The Marine Room and was thoroughly impressed by the exemplary standard of service and cuisine. From the outset, the staff demonstrated impeccable professionalism, offering attentive and courteous service. The atmosphere was refined and elegant, creating a perfect setting for a sophisticated dining experience. The menu was thoughtfully crafted, showcasing exceptional ingredients and culinary creativity. Each course was presented with great attention to detail, and the flavors were memorable. I would highly recommend it to those seeking exceptional cuisine, outstanding service, and an elegant setting.

Worth every penny. From the posh neighbor it sits in next to the Tennis and Beach club to the decor to the food and of course we all go to sit in the lounge and watch the waves. Book for high tide and after the sunset. This gives less reflection while taking photos. Place is amazing. I had the blackened swordfish with an amazing cocktail made with green apples and Grey goose

The restaurant was absolutely amazing — I loved it! The lobster was especially delicious. Highly recommend! The service was wonderful, and the sunset view over the ocean made the experience even more special.

We got a last-minute reservation and they were able to accommodate with a table with great views. The food was better than what I expected, and we started with beets salad, followed by tuna dish, and their famous branzino. We didn’t try any cocktails instead ordered a glass of Prosecco. Also desserts are so good. Overall pricey, but worth it. Fantastic experience and can’t wait to come back for sunset views.

My husband and I had a great time. We had made reservations for the Rising Tide Dinner and we got such a great table by a window. The view was absolutely gorgeous, skies were clear with wisps of clouds and we enjoyed seeing the sunset and the waves. Food was incredible, presented well and it was delicious. Three course meal was so good everything sounded great. We got the Crudo and Steak Tartare to start. 2nd course we got the Chicken with gnocchi and the Spotted Sea Bass. AMAZING. The desserts were so yummy...Strawberry Cheesecake and the S'mores were great. Had a couple drinks each: Sumac Sunset and Rum for the Hills and overall it was such a relaxing outing. Valet wasn't even that expensive $15, well worth it. Will be back for sure!

We stopped by Duke’s La Jolla on our way back to Los Angeles after visiting the La Jolla Cove, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. It happened to be Restaurant Week, so we took advantage of their specials—and wow, the food was fantastic. The poke tacos especially stood out, fresh and full of flavor. We sat in the back overlooking the ocean and mountains, and the view alone was worth the stop calm, scenic, and relaxing. The staff were friendly, attentive, and our server went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. If you’re in La Jolla Cove, I definitely recommend stopping here. Great food, amazing views, and a welcoming atmosphere make Duke’s a must-visit.

My wife and I stopped in for dinner during our first time in the San Diego area and we were very pleased. First, I'd like to say Sean S. was an awesome waiter. From providing recommendations, to being warm and welcoming, it was a delight to have him as our server. The food was very good. We shared the panko crusted calimari and enjoyed our Furikake Ahi Steak and sautéed macadamia nut and herb crusted fish dinner. There's a great selection of beers and cocktails as well, like a virgin lavender pina collada that my wife had. But the real show stealer is the hula pie. Incredible, really left an impression. It's enormous and the hot fudge just brings it all together.

To my surprise, the view of this restaurant is spectacular during sunset. Easy to find. Some street parking but best to come by uber. Came here with a group of 7 for a company group outing. This place is great for big groups, company meal, or romantic dinner. Their outdoor patio dining is where to sit at. I almost felt like I was in Hawaii. The staff were very accommodating as we wanted to sit closer to the ledge to see the water. I didn’t know how everyone’s food tasted but my husband’s and my dishes were good. For appetizers, we tried their ‘crab wontons’ and ‘panko crusted calamari’. I loved the crab wontons had a good amount of filling that you didn’t need the sauce. That is how it should be like. The squid in the calamari could be a tiny bit softer. I think it was a little overcooked but still tasted good with the sauce. We had their Mai Tai and Lavender Colada. The Mai Tai was all alcohol but better that way for the price! Haha The Lavender Colada, you have to add dark rum on top. It was good but did not taste any lavender in it but the coloring. I had their Hot Pot and it was excellent. Flavor of the coconut broth was so good, I finished the soup. It came with a small lobster tail, mussels and white fish. A good balance. My husband’s had the ‘Filet Mignon’. I thought it was cooked well with good seasoning. Didn’t like the corn with it though but then I am not really into corn. They only have two desserts that we liked and that was the Hula pie and Key Lime Pie. Key Lime Pie is the one to get! I love the crust! You just have to be wary if you are not sitting underneath the big umbrellas as outdoor eating attracts the birds. Make sure you are fully underneath the umbrella. Still a great place for service, food and views. Totally recommended this place.

Solid Hawaiian restaurant with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean. Calamari was okay, coconut shrimp was good and the macademia nut crusted fish was the real star. Hula pie was impressive but one note. Go here for the view, food is decent but the view and atmosphere take it to the next level.

We randomly stopped in while passing by it was not to busy the food and service were great! We also where places closer to inside we saw a table leave and asked to move so we can have a view our waitress had no issue moving us before our food came out. She was lovely!!! We had the fish tacos, fish and chips,and a chicken salad they were all sooo good!!! Would definitely eat here again! The drinks were so good as well! Do not pass on them!

Came here because heard the views were amazing. I asked for a table outside assuming it would come with a view, but after being told there was a 15-minute wait, I was seated outside with no view at all. It would have been nice if the hosts had clarified that not all outdoor tables have a view or given the option to wait longer for one. The food was also disappointing — the poke tacos tasted old, and everything came out surprisingly fast, which made me question how fresh it really was. Overall, not the experience I expected from Duke’s given the great reputation and location.

Duke’s La Jolla is a great waterfront patio to enjoy a meal and cocktails. The patio was busy for lunch, but they accommodated us quickly. The service was fast and attentive. The calamari was different than others I’ve tried before, but it was delicious. The tuna bowl was simple, yet executed well. You can look around and see many different types of people enjoying the restaurant. There were people working remote, on a business lunch, or simply enjoying the nice weather.

The restaurant had a sophisticated interior with a stylish, upscale atmosphere—perfect for a nice night out. The ambiance had a great start-of-the-night vibe, making it an enjoyable dining experience. The fish dish was incredibly fresh and flavorful, which made it a standout. The steak was also well-prepared and satisfying. Overall, a great spot for both seafood and steak lovers. Would definitely recommend!

Michelin Guide recognized restaurant located inside the Grande Colonial Hotel. Had a reservation for five on a Sunday for brunch and were seated immediately. It’s $10 for valet parking when you dine at the restaurant, and you need to show your restaurant receipt when picking up the car. We ordered the octopus, sourdough bread, a pecan sticky bun, and tuna crudo for starters. The octopus came with potatoes and a cheese sauce that was tasty. The tuna crudo came in 6 pieces and I liked the citrusy dressing. The pecan sticky bun was a sleeper hit (the candied pecans were particularly good); I only wish that the coffee machine was working so we could’ve had a latte on the side to accompany it. My entree, I had the huevos rancheros. It was quite filling and I took half home for leftovers. We rounded out the meal with the half baked chocolate cake, which had the consistency of a molten lava cake soaked in ice cream - definitely split this with other people. Our waitress was very nice and the vibes were chill.

The food is absolutely amazing and you can tell that the chef truly loves what he does. Every bite is filled with refreshing flavors and each dish sparks a memory

Food was pretty good, although kind of standard brunch, but we could taste some differences in terms of paying attention to the details. Too bad, only breakfast menu was available

Must-have for brunch: Short Rib Toast. Recommend the egg over medium. Perfect. If you’re staying at the Grande Colonial, mention that and get 10% off.

This is a classical style restaurant that does seemingly simple food with great style and exceptional flavor. I had the tuna crudo as a starter and the cod as my main. Both had exceptional balance of a kind that as a European (sorry!) I sometimes found difficult to come by on my trips to the US. But this place can compete with the best of them. The service was immaculate. It was all a pleasant surprise. Happy to come back anytime!

This is not a typical restaurant connected to a hotel! Do not skip it and assume it's a basic spot to eat. This award winning restaurant is so good, we ate here five times on our trip - which we never do. Everything is made in house - from the pastrami to the Cacio E Pepe spaghettini. The flavors here were so familiar, but you could tell they were made with love and thoughtfulness. The most amazing thing we ate all week was the short rib toast with mornay sauce! You can only get it on weekends and only at brunch. The short rib is so good, we were hoping it would be on the dinner menu - but that's how much care they put into their menu- they are making short rib from scratch - just for weekend brunch. If you are a savory fan, this is one of the best things served on Prospect Street. Second savory delight would be the jerk pork belly - flavors you rarely taste together, but oh so good! The service was also top notch - Alex, Pablo and Shelly took very good care of us and always had great recommendations for each meal. You can sit inside, on the busy Prospect St. patio, or on the back patio, with partial ocean views. There is street parking around the area and $10 valet for the restaurant. Please take care of the valet guys too - they deliver old school service, which is so hard to find these days.

This place is the best. My favorite item is the swordfish, always a treat. So so fresh, and it's amazing in a sandwich. (tip: always say yes to Avo) Don't sleep on their clam chowder either, it's the best I've ever had outside of the east coast. And the salads are on point too, can't go wrong really with the protein choice. Fish, shrimp, octopus, scallops all are super delicious. This has been a go-to spot in my family for about 20 years and I just can't get enough!

Such a fresh, vibrant spot! You can see the quality right in the seafood display. The salmon dishes were perfectly cooked , my kiddo loved theirs. My octopus was just a touch chewy, but the flavors were bright and real. It’s counter service, casual, and not pet-friendly, but fair prices and great freshness. Loved the vibe!

Amazing restaurant! Fun atmosphere. Entire staff friendly and helpful. Amazing selection of fresh seafood cooked to order. Sashimi and Pike too! Recommendation- Ask about the "Burro(Burrito) Of The Day". The day we went the Burro special with Sea Bass PLUS SHRIMP, For UNDER $20!!! So good!

Have eaten here so many times but this is my first review. This place literally never fails. Let’s start with the oysters….only got 4 as a little app for myself but I seriously could have eaten 2 dozen. Currently regretting my decision as I devoured my 4 in about 60 seconds. And their mignonette is next level. If you like oysters, do yourself a favor and get these. I got the west coast ones but I’m sure the east coast ones are also FIRE. Moving on to my main dish, got the blackened/cajun salmon plate and this also was next level. Even the freaking side of veggies was amazing. It’s probably not the cheapest seafood in town but it is easily the best. Worth every penny.

My favorite fish taco place in San Diego. The staff is always super nice. I love the outdoor seating when weather is nice. The food is always delicious and fresh. I miss going there so try to go multiple times when I am in San Diego. Delicious😍

I had the catch of the day swordfish regular sandwich with avocado and my partner had the mahi mahi regular sandwich with avocado. Fireeee sandwiches. I loved my swordfish especially. Top 10 sandwiches I had in my life. Would definitely come here for a nice lil Sammy if you like food that's delicious. If you don't like food that delicious idk what to tell you, maybe share some broken shells with the seagulls.

The BEST local Seabass and clam chowder in San Diego. Tried it blackened with Cajun spices with salad and brown rice. Fresh, healthy, amazing! Paired perfectly with their homemade watermelon lemonade. Lulu was very nice and helpful as well. Ten stars!

Excellent Mexican food in La Jolla! Came here because of its stellar reputation and it did not disappoint. It’s less than a 10 minute walk from La Jolla Cove and surrounded by plenty of shops and stores. Their menu offers a diverse array of tacos and their margaritas are excellent. Special shoutout to their guacamole sampler… some of the best guac I’ve ever had. The pricing is very reasonable relative to the area and the portion sizes are sufficient. The staff and overall service were excellent and came through with suggestions. The outdoor seating makes it a great spot to eat with friends or family while enjoying the San Diego weather. Highly recommend!

Warm welcoming atmosphere. Knowledgeable wait staff. Described food choices and offered suggestions based on our questions. Salsa for initial chip basket was enjoyed by all four of us. Flautas with chicken was flavourful. Carne burrito was moist and seasoned well. Quac three flight was spicy, cheesy and traditional. Ez parking on Wall Street at the time we were there. Umbrella shades at every outdoor patio seating area.

We came for lunch. Just popped in with no knowledge of the place. Regular chips and salsa as a starter. Salsa is great. The food was good (steak tacos, lobster tacos) and kids dishes (steak taco, rice and beans, and cheese quesadilla with rice, beans, and fruit. Both adults would have been good with one taco each for lunch. The Puesto margaritas were AMAZING. I felt the crispy onion strings on the lobster taco distracted from the lobster and avocado flavor and mouth.

Love this place so much that I make sure to stop by every time I’m in San Diego! The flavors and textures in the tacos are perfectly balanced! I also enjoy the salsa flight here. The chips are not bad, but could be a little higher quality to match the rest of the food here.

Puesto is a good spot for tacos. I enjoyed them, and the appetizers and shareables were also a solid choice. The meal was enjoyable overall, and I would consider going back again.

We were visiting from Ohio and this was recommended by our uber driver. Food was great, the margaritas were amazing and our server was lovely. Definitely recommend!

I had a great time at puesto La Jolla! Our server was awesome and very helpful with recommendations, The passion fruit ceviche is my new go to;) The margaritas were also delicious and beautifully garnished! We will definitely be back!
