About Us
Our Story
Mark and Laura Puente launched Puente’s Tijuana Tacos after working in Los Angeles in 2019 and 2020 and visiting dozens of taco stands across Southern California.
Meat grilled over mesquite charcoal is the hallmark of Tijuana-style tacos. Mark’s lifelong passion for meat smoking and grilling drove him to Tijuana-style tacos.
Mark, a former investigative reporter and former truck driver, visited carnicerias across Los Angeles to ask Mexican butchers about the best cuts of meat for Tijuana tacos. He also gathered insight from tacqueros at taco stands. He brought those tips and cooking equipment from Los Angeles to Northeast Ohio. Mark and Laura enlisted family members and friends to help spread the word about their brand of tacos.
Puente’s Tijuana Tacos have a unique taste like no other tacos in the area. We are not a taco truck.
What Makes Puente's Tijuana Tacos Unique?
We don't cook anything in a truck. We grill the meats over mesquite coals in front of you. The tortillas are pressed fresh in front of you. You can garnish your tacos with one or all three salsas. No upcharges for any salsas-including guacamole salsa. We are a mobile establishment.
Available for Events
Do you have a company picnic, graduation party, a neighborhood gathering or other special events where you want to deliver a unique taco experience to your guests? Our weekends book up fast, so contact us soon.
