Puesto Mission Valley

About Us

Founded in 2012 by food-obsessed brothers, Puesto has grown from a single neighborhood taquería into a familia of 800+ team members, and we're just getting started.

Today, we operate nine restaurants across California and continue to grow. At Puesto, every shift brings a lively, welcoming atmosphere built on outstanding food, expertly balanced cocktails, and memorable hospitality. We're so devoted to craft that we opened our own brewery to brew our beer ourselves.

Most importantly, we believe great teams are built by hiring for attitude and aptitude, training with intention, and promoting from within. When our people grow, we grow.
