Brad Hager: GREAT tacos, with a lot of choices. Get two or three different ones. The Esquite (grilled corn) is a MUST, so good. A little pricey for tacos but still worth it. Nice, trendy ambiance.
Justin Sullivan: Taco Tuesday is awesome. $2.50 + the up charge on specials (filet, lamb, crab, etc). You'll be surprised at how good the zucchini cactus is.
La Jolla Blue Book: Great Mexican street taco place with lots of Vegetarian choices for non-meat eaters like potatoes and chilies, potatoes and soy chorizo, corn truffle, and zucchini flower.

Colleen R.: The Chimmichurri cheesesteak is awesome!
Russell Lewis: Pastrami sandwich
Phil Mauriello: If you're an East Coaster craving some East Coast goodies, this is the place. Taylor Ham, egg and cheese was delicious (little pricey at $9 but still delicious). Cheesesteaks are excellent as well.

Roland Ligtenberg: Their Ahi Ceviche, Lobster Taco, Chicken/Cheese Taco are all to die for! Their Puesto Margarita is delicious too! Can go wrong with the 10 taco for $30 deal! @eatPuesto

Angela: Zen breakfast was so delicious yet healthy. The chicken apple sausage was awesome too.
P D: You know what, asshole? Don't even fuck around. Get yourself a Mission Croissant. And if Sharon is your server, give her a big fucking tip. Seriously. She's awesome.
Desirae: Alright guys, here's the insider skinny on the mission. Expect a wait on the weekends unless you come either before 8:30 or after 2. Snag a spot at the coffee bar for a shorter wait. Don't get hangry!
