Piquant flavors of Mexico City come to La Jolla at Puesto

With the recent opening of Puesto, La Jollans only need to go as far as the Village to find Mexican street-style tacos. Owned and operated by brothers Eric and Alan Adler — both La Jolla High School alumni — the restaurant offers authentic fare with fresh, natural ingredients.

Museum Café has contemporary dishes as hip as the art

It should come as no surprise that a restaurant at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego is so picturesque, it could be the subject of a painting.
Located on the street side of the La Jolla museum — with the ocean just around the corner — the Museum Cafe’s patio is charming and framed by wisteria, with vines entwining white columns. Guests sit in orange and silver chairs underneath cream-colored umbrellas and dine on fresh, seasonal California cuisine, as the breeze periodically carries the notes of chimes from a nearby church bell.
