Pueblo started lunch service on the weekends and we were so surprised it was not busy when we went this past Saturday. The Pacific Beach area is usually busy, and we were lucky that we didn't have to wait and service was excellent. They even have their own parking lot around back so that makes it less stressful to have a meal at their establishment. I also made a reservation in advance for eight people but it really wasn't necessary when we went. I think it's very different during dinner service so I still highly recommend making a reservation. They brought out chips and salsa immediately as well as water. My husband and I got there a little bit early ahead of our party so we ordered a couple of drinks while everyone else arrived. They have a huge selection of menu items for both brunch and dinner. We had the ceviche, chicharrones and guacamole. I also ordered the Yucatán salad and my husband got the seafood enchiladas. Both were excellent and highly recommend. The ambience and decor are so cute as well. They have a couple Bougainvillea trees by the entrance and beautiful, colorful murals on their building. So definitely a cute place to take pictures. Very much worth the trip if you are looking for something to eat in the area. read more

I'm giving it 3 stars even though it likely deserves 2.5. The service was great as were the drinks. My wife and I ordered the seafood chili rellano (del mar) and the Bone In Short Rib. Both were tasty - no complaints there specifically. The only problem was for the price the chili rellano was lacking meat and the short rib was very very very fatty- more than it should be. To top everything they charge a 4 percent fee due to "city and state regulations" what a joke. read more

Pueblo - Note the surcharge... - Seafood Near Me - San Diego, California

We went to Pueblo for my good friend's birthday and the service was TERRIBLE. Didn't get one of our appetizers for 35 min. He kept saying "oh the kitchen is still making your corn". It was like canned corn with some cotija. After we ate, we paid our $400+ bill for 5 of us and the server never came back to clear our dishes. We sat and finished our drink and talked for an hour with them in front of us. I finally stacked them to make a point and they still didn't come. We won't be recommending this place. Sad! Btw a clearly paid influencer next to us had the best service. Guess we weren't important enough :( read more

I had family in town and came across this place. The service was good, the drinks were strong and the food was really delicious. My whole family enjoyed their drinks and dishes. I was bummed the rooftop had a private party that night as I would've enjoyed seating up there. Overall, it was an enjoyable evening for my family, and if I'm in the area again I'd come back. read more

PUEBLO @ PACIFIC BEACH Parking is street-only and paid, but my friends and I were able to find a spot around 6:30 PM on a Thursday. It was fairly busy, but manageable. I had never been to this spot before, so I was excited to try something new. The restaurant has a modern vibe with nice decorations outside, including a Christmas tree and dimmed lights. It serves more Americanized Mexican cuisine rather than authentic dishes. We were seated inside and given menus along with chips and salsa. The chips were tasty, with a paprika seasoning I enjoyed, but the salsa was very mild and watery. I ordered the beer-battered fish tacos, which cost about $20 for three tacos, $6 each taco. My friend, who has a cilantro allergy, struggled to find something on the menu and ended up having the fish tacos with some modifications. Unfortunately, the tacos themselves were disappointing. They were dry, lacked flavor, and had too many toppings that overpowered the fish. There weren't limes served, and extra sauce came at an additional $1, which felt unusual for a Mexican restaurant. Overall, the food wasn't very fresh or flavorful, and it felt overpriced for what it was. On the positive side, our server was extremely nice and accommodating, even helping adjust my friend's dish and bringing a brownie ice cream cake for her birthday. The staff were friendly overall, and the restaurant was clean and modern. read more

Came to pick up to.gp food and the waiter was so nice. He was friendly and got my order quickly. The setting is nice with a full bar and rooftop patio that seems to be for private parties and a ground level patio for dining with nice plants. Inside has tvs and cool artwork. I'm easy so chips and salsa and good food and drinks I can wait a second for a table and a server. Not for type a jerks. read more

Pueblo - Menu and bar - Seafood Near Me - San Diego, California

Cute little Americanized Mexican spot with seafood highlights. My friend and I called in here to order take away on Super Bowl Sunday and drove up to find that the restaurant was nearly empty at 3pm. The waiter that helped me with my order was extremely nice and we only had to wait a little. Their menu was a little confusing as online, it looked as if their take away/delivery options were different than their dine-in menu. The salsa was not a huge portion, but was my favorite thing about our meal. Roasted peppers had a really nice flavor! The guacamole was a much larger portion and was also great. Because we also ordered seafood ceviche (which was halibut), they gave us a ton of fresh chips. The chips weren't very seasoned but felt fresh, so we enjoyed them. The ceviche was pretty good but not super noteworthy. My friend ordered beer battered tacos, which she said were pretty good, and we each had an order of the Tijuana street corn (off the cob) which was yummy. Overall, the food was pretty good, but was definitely expensive for what we got. The inside of the restaurant looked pretty large though, and there seemed to be TVs at the bar playing different sports channels, so I could see this being a really solid option for those wanting to dine in conveniently in the area. read more

This is my niece's favorite spot whenever we're visiting San Diego, and we really enjoyed her pick. Everything we ordered was flavorful and beautifully presented. The tacos were packed, the rice and beans were solid, and the seafood dishes were fresh with just the right amount of spice. The ceviche-style dishes were bright and refreshing, and the cocktails were fun without being overly sweet. There were a couple of minor hiccups with unclean silverware and glasses, but they were quickly replaced with clean ones without any issue. One thing to note: when there are large groups drinking, the volume can get pretty loud, so it's not the quietest spot during peak times. That said, the atmosphere is still lively and fun, the service was attentive, and we would probably go to this place whenever we're in town again. read more

Loved the Mexican food here. The chips and salsa are so yum. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal. The servers messed up on several parts of our order (wrong drinks, wrong dish, brought out meals at separate times) but besides that it was good. read more

Pueblo - Fajita plate - Seafood Near Me - San Diego, California

We are visiting from out of town and decided to eat here for our first meal. Outdoor seating was very nice. The staff were friendly. We ordered the stuffed shrimp and daily ceviche for our appetizers, delicious! Best part of the meal. We also ordered the seafood enchiladas and chile relleno Del Mar. These were both described to have shrimp, lobster, and fresh fish. Unfortunately only one of these ingredients was included. Both had only shrimp and IMITATION CRAB. The imitation crab made up the bulk of the filling. Had we known that that was an ingredient, we would've ordered something else. Luckily neither my husband nor I were allergic to it. It really should be listed in the menu description. We were pretty disappointed about it. read more

6 of us had a late lunch 2pm, mid-week in the winter, not a busy time to go to restaurants. Nice parking spot on the side of the building, truly valuable in this busy neighborhood. Service, of course, was very good, since we were the only people in the restaurant. Beautiful restaurant, decor was pleasant and welcoming. Chips and salsa was good, a hot salsa is available upon request for a small fee. We all had a variety of dishes, all were very happy with our food. I particularly enjoyed the soft-shell blue crab taco. Definitely unique and delicious. We didn't have drinks but the bar looks fantastic. Thanks you for a lovely late lunch. read more

Pueblo is a Mexican restaurant in Pacific Beach! The restaurant is beautifully decorated and an oasis in the heart of Pacific Beach. The food is spot on! Happy hour from 3-5pm is excellent in quality and price. We had house margaritas followed by happy hour menu choices! Both were outstanding! Our server was attentive and expedient. We enjoyed our menu choices and the rockfish ceviche was a standout dish. The restaurant is modern and comfortable. Excellent fish tacos! They have a free parking lot and free street parking! You won't be disappointed! read more

Really enjoyed the atmosphere here, and the food was solid overall. The space has a fun, colorful vibe that makes it a nice spot for a casual meal. Service was friendly and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. A few dishes were better than others, so there was a little inconsistency in the meal, but nothing was disappointing enough to ruin the experience. The menu has plenty of options, which is a plus, although ordering can be a little less flexible depending on what you're looking for. Overall, a good experience with a few areas that could be improved. I'd come back and give it another try. read more

My friend lives down the street & had been meaning to try this spot out -- we both loved it! The ceviche with shrimp was excellent, perfectly citrusy and the veg served as dippers was fresh and a perfect amount for dipping. Obviously the plating is gorgeous as well! Also, my friend ordered tacos & didn't realize there was beans on them, so she mentioned it to our waiter and they replaced them without beans -- they did not need to do that at all, and it was sooo nice of them. He also made a pornstar martini per her request & made it fabulously. We'll definitely be back to try more of their menu items. read more

we went for a Saturday lunch - we could not order 3 tacos - 2 for my husband and one for me. you have to order 2 of the same type only. I can't eat 2 and even if we'd be happy with just 2 to share we'd have to pick only one type. what kind of restrictions like this make sense ? the place is attractive , love the ambiance, but we did not eat, we left. so instead of serving us cocktails and 3 tacos, they lost us, and drove me to give them this bad revue. by the way the place was empty. no wonder. read more

Long story short/overall - it was ok. I picked this place for dinner because the ambiance looked cute and they had good reviews for food. I got the vegan quesadilla and my partner the vegan molcajete. I subbed the vegan cheese with regular cheese and didn't realize a surcharge would be added because I did that - our waitress did not say anything so when I got the check I was a bit surprised...if I would have known, I would have kept the vegan cheese because even though it was a quesadilla, the cheese was no where to be found... The best bites for me was the chips and salsa with the guacamole and pico de gallo from my plate. Quesadilla was nothing to write home about, but wasn't bad either, just ok. I wish the quesadilla was with flour instead of corn tortillas. The molcajete was good - big portion of food and a variety of vegetables and sides were given with it. The margarita was good. My partner was considering getting a fish dish, but someone a few tables away had gotten their food and it had a terrible fishy smell, so they decided to not chance it. I noted on the reservation that I was celebrating an anniversary and the service combined with everything else with the food just felt lackluster. Service was bad - Nothing felt special, our waitress took a really long time to greet us and give us waters/chips. The restaurant for a Saturday night was not filled, but still relatively busy. I am not in a rush to come back, but am glad I checked it out for myself. read more

Great food, service and ambiance! It's not that big inside but the patio was quite spacious for our family of 4 ( we have a dog ). We opted for the 3 chicken soft tacos, with a side of beans and rice. Very delicious, I just wish they offered hot sauce. We also ordered the two item meal , pork tamale and chicken enchilada. Both were equally yummy. The complimentary chips and salsa hit the spot. I ordered two margaritas and they were both watered down, not strong at all. read more

I had a lovely dinner here on a Sunday evening on the patio, which was relaxed, and surrounded by cacti foliage. Brady was a very friendly and attentive server. The El Don margaritas was delicious, and strong enough I only needed one drink. I'm usually a cocktail plus glass of wine with dinner person, but one margaritas was good for me. For appetizer, the ceviche of the day was shrimp. The flavors were amazing and the amount of and size of shrimp was extremely generous in this dish. For dinner, I highly recommend the Chile relleno del mar. It had lobster, shrimp, and fish. The slightly creamy but not heavy sauce complemented the seafood perfectly. The rice and beans were fine but nothing to write home about. I highly recommend trying a side of their Tijuana street corn. I got it off the cob and it was fresh and had jalapeño butter, which wasn't spicy but tasted like brown butter corn. Soooo good! I'll be dreaming about their street corn. I appreciated that they were relaxed and didn't rush you. I enjoyed people watching on the patio. They do have a small parking lot behind the building which always helps in the city. I highly recommend Pueblo! read more

We had a horrible experience here. The hostess was super rude. They sat us on the roof and there is no light, it was completely dark. Their heaters outside do not work. It took 45 minutes to get drinks and then 2 hrs later we still didn't have food and had to cancel our orders. Don't bother coming here. read more

Really good Mexican in an area that seems spotty on excellent food. This is in a busy part of San Diego, where you might be going to the beach or shopping for clothes if you have young ladies. This totally hit the spot for great Mexican food in a beautiful setting very new building and I am not a fan of high top tables, but it was fine. The staff was super friendly and accommodating for our walk in. I just wanted the classic ground beef tacos and they were delicious everything my kids got was delicious and just as they were craving as well. I would definitely stop here again next time passing through. Definitely get a margarita if that's your thing! read more

Service was friendly and efficient. Decor is upscale and modern. This place was pretty quiet on a Monday, so we essentially had a semi private room. Conchinita Pibil was the best dish on the table IMO (mine!). So freaking delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meals. Cantaloupe aqua fresca was a little too sweet and had a cucumber aftertaste that I didn't love. read more

There are limited parking spaces in their private lot. Lots of street parking and parking lots close by if it gets busy. There wasn't a crowd when we arrived at 6:30 on a Tuesday night. It was definitely busier when we left around 8. They do take reservations. 1st, the chips and salsa - yummmm. I love hot salsa!! Then we had the empanadas. They were small - about 2 bites, but they were tasty! I had the chile relleno combo and hubby had steak and shrimp fajitas, I think. There was something different about the batter on the relleno, seemed doughy vs fluffy. It was still delicious! Hubby cleaned up his plate too, so he was happy. We tried the fried ice cream for dessert and I loved it. It was gooey, messy, but fun to eat. It wasn't too sweet. Kelley was great and provided excellent service. Would love to come back during warmer evenings to sit on the rooftop patio. Or even have drinks at the bar. read more

The sea food enchiladas beautiful presentation but no flavor or kick to it, very bland the beans were the best part of the dish. Cocktails were okay. read more

I visited this restaurant with a friend on a Friday night! They take reservations but it surprisingly wasn't busy. We sat inside and it was very clean, just super loud from the music and crowd chatter. Our waiter was very nice and kept checking on us. We ordered chips and guac, shrimp and carne asada tacos and a margarita. The margarita was really salty and so was the carne asada tacos! The shrimp was good though. This place is also super pricey for what you get. The chips and guac was $12, and for the quality of the tacos, you can definitely get some better food at a local grab and go taco shop. They're also the type of restaurant to take pictures of you and try to sell you framed photos of your meal, so be prepared for that haha. read more

Such a cool, groovy vibe in this place. I went on a trip to San Diego and definetly got the high quality Mexican food I was looking for. I got the surf and turf tacos and they were perfect, not too much food. Felt just right. My classic margarita was also great and not sweet (just the way I like it). Staff was nice.

This is a lovely restaurant with an eye catching ocean blue sign posted above the entryway. The building itself is attractive, painted white with aqua trim and an aqua patio cover. Potted cactus and tall palm trees provide a coastal Baja flair. Overall, the service was pretty good. Our food came quickly. I ordered the chicken taco salad. My son tried the chicken burrito. The servings were generous. The rice and beans were very well seasoned. Regardless of how wet the burrito was, the tortilla is never soggy. The tortilla chicken salad was gigantic and filling. The meals were served on lovely Mexican inspired plates. There was cute and colorful decor including the glass pieces. There is a full bar. Lovely mural on the wall in a separate sitting area. read more
