About Us
Our Story
Mark and Laura Puente launched Puente’s Tijuana Tacos after visiting dozens of taco stands across Southern California in 2019 and 2020.
The hallmark of Tijuana-style tacos is meat grilled over mesquite charcoal. Mark’s lifelong passion for meat smoking and grilling drove him to Tijuana-style tacos.
Mark, an 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 across Los Angeles. He brought those tips and cooking equipment from Los Angeles to the Cleveland area in 2021. Mark and Laura enlisted family members and friends to help spread the word about their brand of tacos across Northeast Ohio.
Puente’s Tijuana Tacos have a unique taste like no other tacos in the area.
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 corn tortillas are pressed fresh in front of you. Nothing is fried on a griddle. You can garnish your tacos with one or all three salsas. No upcharges for any salsas-including guacamole. We are a licensed, mobile food 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.
