Get your fill of handmade cocktails and tacos at the family-owned Mexican spot Puesto, with outposts across San Diego. Crispy tacos stuffed with chipotle chicken and melty cheese get a kick with made-from-scratch salsa, which pairs perfectly with inventive margarita flavors, including honeydew, ginger and hot sauce. Or opt for one of the six varieties of beer from the Cervezería. Cheers!
