    I watch YouTube about this place so I knew what to expect. And it was pretty amazing. If you’d never done it before it’s great for special occasions. The food was really delicious but the downside is you have to cook it yourself. And if you don’t pay attention, you can wind up burning everything or over cooking everything. Of course, the best part was the chocolate fondue. Just awesome. What really made it for me was the kindness and consideration of the staff and how attentive and wonderful they were. Especially down in San Diego. I don’t know about other places, I’ve never been there before, but they were awesome! And the food was edible because I cooked it and because I paid attention. But my aunt and uncle were not so lucky and had overcooked steak. But that’s their fault. Not the restaurants. Thanks for listening.

    I dined at La Puerta around 530pm on a Wednesday which may have contributed to it's mellow ambiance. The service was quick and to the point but felt that the server had my best interest in mind. Once we ordered, the food arrived quickly and the presentation was very nice. The food quality was exceptional and the added 'Rajas' or sliced peppers as an additional to the rice and beans on the side make the experience feel genuine. I'd just returned from a month long stay in Mexico City and my only point of constructive criticism would be to revisit the tortilla for the tacos. In an authentic Mexican restaurant, you wouldn't find a thin corn tortilla but rather one made from a tortilla press. I realize this may be more work for the kitchen staff but I think it would go a long way. Will definitely be returning!
