"Puesto in La Jolla was louder and more festive, and I had Baja-style fish tacos (beer-battered cod with shredded cabbage, avocado, crema, and salsa quemada) and guacamole with lime, orange, and chile habanero; I found the spicy margarita (reposado tequila, fresh lime juice, and jalapeño) more interesting and striking than the food, though I only drank half before I had to leave." - Chris Crowley
