Located in the historic former San Diego Police Headquarters building, Puesto at The Headquarters sits between Seaport Village, the USS Midway, and the San Diego Convention Center—right in the heart of the waterfront.

Expansive patios unfold through towering steel doors, opening onto original walls that reveal layers of the building’s storied past. Internationally acclaimed designer Thomas Schoos envisioned the space as an industrial homage to the streets of Mexico City, blending raw architectural elements with modern warmth. Vibrant murals by artist Chor Boogie provide a striking backdrop to Puesto’s award-winning tacos.

Known for its elevated take on authentic Mexican cuisine, Puesto serves inventive tacos, craft margaritas, and its own house-brewed cerveza created by acclaimed brewmaster Doug Hasker. Whether you’re dining before a show, meeting friends by the bay, or exploring downtown San Diego, Puesto offers a bold, flavorful experience in a one-of-a-kind setting.
