    This place is honestly generational. Tacos seem expensive but idk if I've ever been served a larger taco. Wild stuff. 10/10

    Fish taco
    Deb O.

    Went to the drive-through based on good reviews on Yelp and it's about a 15-minute drive from our neighborhood. We decided to order 2 shrimp tacos and 1 fish taco with Mexican coke and a salad. I requested sauce on the side since we can't handle spicy food. Their tacos are huge! They were really delicious but I was having a hard time finishing it so had to eat the other taco the next day and the rest of the salad. Have tried these type of tacos in Ensenada and they're just as good although the fish taco here was not as crispy as the one in Mexico (maybe they use lard to fry ). Service was good. Will definitely return when I have a craving for seafood tacos!

    The 1st roll of Marlin Taquitos was good. Once we got to the 2nd piece, the sauce and lettuce started tasting like McDonalds Big Mac sauce. The fish taco was recommended to us to try so we got one to share. 2 big pieces of fish and topped off with cabbage, some pico and avocado. It had so much cabbage it was pretty much all we tasted. The fish itself was cooked nicely but the overall taco lacked flavor. The portion is so big that it was hard to take a bite without having it all fall apart. They give you 2 tortillas so you can always split into two tacos. I preferred the tostada mixta out of the 3 items we ordered but tbh I have had better. They pile up the seafood on top of a tostada so of course it became soggy quickly. They give you an additional one on the side. No mayo unless you ask for it. They have a sauce bar with 2 different types of sauces and some limes. If you want the bottled hot sauce, you'll have to ask for that as well.

    We ordered the fish tacos and were pleasantly surprised by how big they were! I initially thought my one taco were the two I ordered . They were delicious, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We also tried the potato taquitos, which were just as good. The restaurant has a nice, laid-back vibe with a cool outdoor seating area. We didn't sit outside this time, but it looked like a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The service was great. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to again and again. Big Bang for your buck!

    Randomly found this on Yelp while I visit SD. Never knew a fast food Mexican place can be this good. They even have a drive thru and outside seating area. Ordered the fish taco and carne asada tacos and a side order of salsa n chips. The tacos came out in a huge size loaded with beef and fish topped with veggies. So fresh and so good. Definitely worth the stop and will be here again if I'm in the area.

    Fried fish
    Joyce R.

    There was a blackout in parts of Mira Mesa so I can't get fried fish. I went here because I heard they have fried fish. It turns out, it's really good and a tad cheaper than El viejon. We tried the fried red snapper and ordered it extra crispy. It came with rice, beans and some veggies. It tastes so fresh. The other food we got there is also really good, like the birria, taquitos, bacon wrapped shrimp. Ask for the mango salsa, it's really good too and the staff are always nice and friendly. All portions as big.

    Camarones Diablo. Enough left over for a snack latter.
    WILLIAM P.

    A first time here. Fantastic authentic ceviche, fish taco and camarones diablo plate with 7 large spicy shrimp. Limited inside seating and seating on the outside patio. No wait service. Order at the counter and they call your number. Large screen TV playing Mexican music videos. Leftovers for snacking latter.

    Shrimp Ceviche
    Maria D.

    This small restaurant is located in a busy street ie Mira Mesa Blvd and Camino Ruiz. Not much seating inside but they also have an outdoor patio seating. They do offer a lot of selection on their menu especially Seafood. They also have a drive thru option. We choose to sit inside. We ordered Ceviche de Camaron Cocido (Cooked Shrimp Ceviche) and Camarones al Moho de Ajo (Shrimp in Garlic sauce). We were impressed with the freshness and flavor of these two dishes. It was fair size amount. Quality and taste is 10 out of 10. Will be back to try other items on their Menu. Come try them out if you have craving for yummy delicious seafood.

    Delicious! Marlin & pulpo tacos
    Vivian P.

    Quick stop for Flavorful tacos and cerveza! Next time I want to try the seafood bowl made to order!

    Anthony R.

    I was so shocked how BIG these tacos are :0 for about $7-8 dollars. The marlin was pretty smoky and the octopus had a great kick of spice. All are loaded with salsa and generous pieces of avocado. The ceviches were so fresh and went very well with the tostadas and the surf n turf fries are amazing!

    My friend and I were driving around looking for a bite to eat when I suggested this spot. At first, she was skeptical--it's in what looks like a converted old car wash, and that just didn't scream "great seafood" to her. But after I showed her the glowing reviews on Yelp and the photos showing how clean and appetizing everything looked, she agreed to give it a shot. We're so glad we did! The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. I ordered the shrimp plate (camarones al mojo de ajo), and she got a taco with a side of esquite (Mexican street corn). That corn was amazing--so much so that I took some home to my mom since you just don't find it up north as often. She was also excited to see Menudo on the menu--her husband is Mexican and will be thrilled to try it when he's back. All in all, this place was a gem of a find. Great food, fast service, and a menu that impressed both of us. Definitely coming back!

    These are not street size tacos - they are huge! I didn't realize that and initially ordered 3. When I saw my friend's taco, I quickly asked the staff to remove one of mine and they kindly obliged. So I ended up with a fried fish taco and a smoked tuna taco. The fried fish was really good and the avocado was the perfect ripeness. I didn't really like the smoked tuna one but that may be more of a personal preference. We sat on the patio which is brightly colored.

    Shrimp tacos on left. Fish tacos, and then marlin tacos on bottom.

    I was a little stunned going in when I saw the tacos were $7.50 but they are actually some of the biggest tacos I've had. I ordered 3 tacos, but split half of one with a friend who had the taquitos because I definitely wouldn't have been able to finish all 3. I had the shrimp, marlin, and fish tacos and they were all great! My friend had the marlin taquitos and enjoyed those too. Everything was prepared fairly quickly and the service was your standard counter service. I'll definitely come back to try more of the menu.

    The 7 Maees soup.a lot of seafood and A LOT OF CARROTS. NOT the best dish here.

I picked a place off Google but when we landed there we were not comfortable stopping to park, so we looked again and decided to check out La Puerta not realizing it was in the Gaslight District. I am not a fan of the Gaslight District, which is why I am so mad!! I'm going to HAVE to go back to the Gaslight District!! The food was AMAZING!! I HIGHLY recommend the Potato Flautitas. It's the kind of dish I'm going to dream about, I'm salivating now just thinking about them. I also did the Pick 3 Street Tacos (and actually ordered a 4th). The Ranchero Shrimp and Grilled Veggie were top notch. The Conchinita was recommended by our waiter, and it was interesting, tasty but different. It could have used a little more pickled onion. The only one I would not recommend (shockingly, I thought it would be the easy pass) was the carne asada. It was too greasy. My husband ordered a carne asada quesadilla and said the same, it was too wet and soaked through the tortilla. But there were no many other delightful options, I would say just don't go traditional. But honestly my favorite thing on the plate was the side dish rajas con crema, seriously, that alone is going to drag me down to the Gaslight District. I'm even considering going to a Padres game just for the excuse. I'm salivating again! As for our waiter, Colin, he was fantastic. Very informative, made great suggestions and seemed genuinely pleased by our satisfaction. He was smiling the whole time, friendly and stayed very present. I highly recommend you get yourself through the door at La Puerta and sit down for a meal ASAP. (We ate the food so fast I forgot to take pictures.)

Ambiance is upscale Mexican and I think it hits, at least for happy hour! Guac and salsa prices were too high for my liking ($13 and $10, respectively) especially as a happy hour item, but to each their own. Overall 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 with a $5 marg as the kicker to round up vs down (for guac and salsa prices).
