The best street tacos and Caldo de Pollo and Pozole. Their salsas are super flavorful and we enjoy the California burritos here. They're always busy either eat in or takeout so you know this place is legit. The servers are quick and attentive and always kind.
Always great portion sizes and quick service. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Parking lot is spacious as well. Lots of options for breakfast, and the prices are unbeatable. Not too busy during lunch time which is a plus.
This place is a hidden gem for me. They have an affordable taco Tuesday with at least two different size tacos. Several types of meat to choose from and four different salsa choices: Mild, hot, verde and habanero. The fried fish tacos are great and carne asada has a tasty flavor. In the past I enjoyed the Al pastor burritos. They also serve breakfast and other food like hot dogs and hamburgers. The parking lot can be tight, especially around lunchtime so I usually park next-door.
Hole in the wall, hidden gem, great food & great value.... Perla's falls into all these categories. A humble shop behind a much larger center, it always has a steady stream of customers and they always consistently serve delicious Mexican food. I love enchiladas, especially with green sauce and they have a very good version here. Parking is easy. Casual. Indoor and outdoor seating. Service is excellent. Please come and create your own experience.
The breakfast burritos were a HUGE it at the office for an employee appreciation breakfast. The staff were friendly and handled my order perfectly. Everyone was asking where the burritos came from.
