1 /5 Maryam: La Puerta was a huge disappointment. The ceviche was average at best and while the chips were fine, the atmosphere completely ruined the experience. The music was absurdly loud and obnoxious, with heavy bass that gave me a headache and made the entire seating area vibrate.
The experience started off poorly with the hostess, who seemed completely unimpressed and sat us down without even speaking to us. The food didn’t get any better. The rice tasted old, the tacos were overly oily, and nothing felt fresh or well executed. I was genuinely upset that on a short two day trip to California, this is what I ended up eating.
The surf and turf tacos and the mix and match tacos were supposed to be the highlight, but they still didn’t redeem the meal. The only thing that was actually good were the refried beans.
