Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in San Marcos

we always love our time at Puesto, the food is very good and we very much appreciate their attention to food allergies! Everyone in the family can always find something delicious to eat! Often it is very energetic, so not the serious conversation type of place. Staff is very friendly and goes out of the way to ensure you have a great meal. Looking forward to going back!

Not your typical Mexican joint. Very elevated. Best ceviche and aguachile ever. The food is beautiful to the eye and very delicious and bright.

Manager Lisa was the best, most service-oriented manager I have ever seen. She kicked in when service was a bit slow, checked in on us every so often, comped us a drink when we waited a bit too long for our order, and just made a slow evening into a spectacular one. A great manager. Well done Lisa!

Best high end Mexican food we’ve in San Diego! We had the filet mignon ranchero and the El Vaquero plate. The meat was cooked perfectly on both plates and the flavors were delicious! Kudos to the Chef. The service was outstanding and our server was extremely knowledgeable for our child’s food allergies. Can’t wait to go back.

Food here at Javier’s is unmatched, hands down the best high end Mexican restaurant. Atmosphere is great with DJ music and excellent service. On of our favorite restaurants, but more on expensive side (think high end steakhouse pricing)
