San Diego is called America’s Finest City for several reasons, but our year-round mild weather probably tops the list. The only thing better than taking in the fresh air on a typically beautiful day is eating a delicious meal at the same time. Here a few occasions that call for an al fresco outdoor dining experience:

Romantic date

Whether it’s your first date or a special anniversary, Puerto La Boca’s intimate patio is the perfect setting for a romantic outdoor dinner. The candlelit tables and bright views of Little Italy will put you in an affectionate mood, only to be enhanced by one of our meant-to-be-shared entrees like Parrillada “El Conventillo,” a robust combination of short rib, skirt steak, culotte cut, chicken breast, chorizo sausage, blood sausage, and sweetbreads on a sizzling platter.

Workday lunch

Eating a sandwich at your desk might be frugal and efficient, but it’s nice to change up your workday lunch routine once in a while. If you work downtown, head to Puerto La Boca.  We offer a breezy outdoor patio and a scrumptious selection of affordable, filling lunch options including unique sandwiches and grilled entrees. We also have lighter menu items like salads and seafood plates served with seasonal vegetables.

Business meeting

If you want to impress a new client or conduct an interview over lunch, you can’t go wrong at one of the best outdoor restaurants in San Diego. Puerto La Boca’s extensive menu of Argentinian cuisine and cheery outdoor patio setting will put your client, interviewee, or other work-related guests in a great mood before you get down to business. Plus, we offer a huge selection of Argentinian wine and cocktails to toast a new deal or new job.

Tourist stop

When you live in a tourist-heavy city like San Diego, you automatically become a volunteer tourist guide for visiting relatives and friends. After hitting the usual spots like the zoo and Seaport Village, head over to the best outdoor dining restaurant in Little Italy. Our patio offers great people-watching opportunities while you bask in the lovely Little Italy scenery.

Beautiful weather

Sometimes you don’t need a specific reason to enjoy a delicious outdoor meal at Puerto La Boca. Enjoying San Diego’s beautiful weather is reason enough, so the next time the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and you get hungry, stop by our outdoor patio for a well-deserved moment of San Diego perfection.
