    The food is great! Unfortunately, it’s become pricey. They’ve doubled their prices in less than 6 months (last time I went there).

    Outstanding restaurant! The food was the best we have tasted in San Diego. The service was authentic and superb, our waiter was Sebastian and he’s Argentine. The ambience was fantastic. This restaurant experience was 5 stars!

    We had a great experience at Puerto La Boca in Little Italy! The food was fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. You can tell they take pride in the quality of what they serve. The drinks were also excellent and paired perfectly with the meal. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone was enthusiastic, engaging, and welcoming, which made the entire experience even better. The service had a fun, energetic vibe without feeling rushed. The only downside was that it was very hot inside the restaurant, which made it a little uncomfortable while eating. Hopefully, they can improve the cooling or airflow, especially during warmer days. Other than that, the food, drinks, and service were fantastic. I’d definitely come back and recommend Puerto La Boca to anyone looking for authentic food and a great atmosphere in Little Italy!

    Steak was done perfectly, drinks were just right meaning not saturated with alcohol or other ingredients, (mango mojito) . Quality of place is still good. We haven’t been in 3years, highly recommended
