Score 86/100 · Order: Carne asada burrito · $12
La Puerta is a Gaslamp cantina that serves a surprisingly good carne asada burrito. The steak is grilled to order, the guacamole is fresh, and the burrito is wrapped tightly and served hot. The atmosphere is festive, with a long tequila list and a lively crowd, making it a good choice for a group dinner downtown. The price is higher than a neighborhood taco shop, but the quality of the ingredients and the full-service experience justify it. It is the best burrito option for visitors staying in the Gaslamp.
