Definitely a 5-star food dinner experience for me! Food is authentic, delicious. I’m from the city area and do love Mexican food and dine a lot in Mexican restaurants. But I’ve never had a burrito that is so well done: very thin tortilla wrap, with juicy food well wrapped in. The seafood cocktail is well seasoned and loaded too. I have to say comparing with their burrito, the ones I had before are so dry and the wrap were usually double the thickness. I told my husband I feel like someone who’s been eating fast food dry burgers finally got a taste of a real, juicy burger in a good place lol

Excellent fresh seafood tacos, lengua like I love it! California burrito the best. Condiments in abundance with all spice preferences. Brandon very helpful with detailed recommendations. I’ll be back!

Great food and service. The owner is sincere and off to a great start with a family business. I recommend the appetizer soup with a single shrimp on a chilly day in pacific beach.

The burrito is pretty good. I like how the burrito is cut in half. The Alpastor burrito has red oil that drips out making it a bit messy though

Pretty bummed that this is the shrimp “ceviche” I got for $8. Had maybe 4 whole shrimps combined. Shrimp was very hard and warm, so I did not eat it. Convinced I was given a shrimp cocktail instead of ceviche as this was mostly clamato and pico

Saw this place featured on Netflix’s Taco Chronicles: Cross the Border- the San Diego episode. I enthusiastically told my family-“We have to try it” even though they thought Oscar’s Mexican Seafood (across the street) looked better. When La Perla gets that sort of publicity on Netflix-you would think food and service would be exceptional due to stardom opportunities like that. We should have gone to Oscar’s.

Found this little restaurant a couple weeks ago, and have been back twice since! They’ve been consistent. We tried different tacos, mariscos, and burritos. All were delicious. Service is friendly, place is clean, and the salsa is good. Parking is tough-but it’s worth it.

Awesome location. Lovely family. So many items that are good on the menu and so many options to choose from. Their ceviche was beautifully done and delicious (I normally never like this dish). Their seafood tacos are a must. Looking forward to taking my family next time. Shout out to Gregory!

Classic hole-in-the-wall Mexican taqueria that does burritos right. The ingredients are high quality and the tortillas perfect. Highly recommended
