Mexico City born. California raised. Puesto brings the vibrant soul of CDMX through a Southern California lens-bold, modern Mexican with an edge. Seasonal menus, creative takes, and the best ingredients in the hands of better chefs. Every tortilla starts with organic blue corn, made in-house like it's been since 1200 BC. Puesto is family-founded by the Adler and Lombrozo brothers, first-gen Mexican Americans raised on tamales and tradition. It's a love letter to the flavors they grew up with, reimagined with Mexico City energy and SoCal spirit. Made by food people. For food people.
Buona Forchetta South Park is an award-winning Italian Cuisine restaurant in San Diego, founded in 2011 and inspired by traditional Neapolitan technique. The flagship location is anchored by Sofia, a custom Stefano Ferrara wood-fired oven imported from Naples, which bakes the restaurant's signature Neapolitan pizza using authentic Italian methods. The dining room channels the warmth of a southern Italian home, while the lush, lantern-strung backyard patio — a South Park favorite — makes it a go-to spot for date nights and long dinners with friends. Located minutes from Balboa Park and the shops and cafes of South Park's 30th Street corridor, Buona Forchetta has earned recognition from Gambero Rosso, a spot among San Diego Magazine's Best Pizza, and a recurring OpenTable Diners' Choice award as one of the best pizza restaurants in San Diego.
