There's many taquerias I love. This one is special. Regular tacos hit the spot. Lots of other dishes I wanna try. Filling portions; nice little salsa bar. Friendly service, clean, big space. Our new spot! We will be back!

I've been coming to La Perla for years and I'm always so happy with the service and quality of food! My go-to order is a steak super burrito, churros and a horchata or mandarin jarrito. The super burrito hits the spot every single time!!! The churros are so slept on. The filling in the middle is delicious and it's always served piping hot. The horchata is the perfect amount of sweetness. They offer chips whether you dine in or take your food to go. Will continue going to La Perla for many years to come!

I love this place so much. Cathy is my favorite and she always makes my day with her warmth and enthusiasm. They have great California burritos and I love their fish tacos and their waffle fries are amazing! Their orange sauce is also really good. California burrito: 9/10 (if it was bigger, I'd give it a 10/10) Waffle fries: 9/10 (if it had slightly larger portion size it would be a 10/10) Regular tacos: 7.5/10 (they are a bit small) Orange sauce: 9/10 (I'd say they could use a bit more spicyness but it's still really good) Fish taco: 9.5/10

When I'm craving tacos and I'm in Pacifica, this is my go-to. Their cabeza, lengua and pastor are on point. They have refreshing aguas frescas too. The lady that greets and takes my order is always super sweet and helpful.

I love this Taqueria!!! The food here is of high quality ingredients and flavor is amazing! The customer service is always top notch and friendly! Place is kept clean and in good order. Ever since I stumbled across this place about a year ago, I just keep coming back for more. I had the super steak and shrimp wet burrito last night! Oh, and their salsa bar is one of the best around - Delicious !!! Highly recommend.

This place has been one of the Top 5 restaurants in Pacifica for ...mmm 5-6 years now. During Covid their awesome Tortilla Chip and condiment bar was shut. They included a fair, but minimal selection of salsas and a small bag of chips with each order. Not sure how eat-in orders went. We never ate in. So now, the chip bar is back. Great hot chips, 3 salsas: Tomatillo, pico de gallo, and a slightly spicy orange thing, whatever that's called. Also, lime wedges, rabanito, pickled veggie and chilis. It's pretty much everything you need. I was there with my buddy John - un gavacho - but his girlfriend is Guatemalan, so he knows real food. I had pork quesadillas, I think. Very easy on the cheese, but lots of good stuff inside, folded, thick, toasty. No complaints. John ordered enchiladas. They weren't right. Not sure why. He just said they didn't taste right. Not like, a going-bad "not right", just kind of a wrong ingredients "not made right." I saw lots of beans and cheese but not ingredients I usually see in enchiladas. Part of getting the good time in any food joint is knowing what they make best and what to stay away from. I choose to cut them slack on this occasion, they've made so many good meals before. I've always gotten accurate order fill and friendly service. The interior is clean and inviting. The staff is accommodating. I have never had a bad experience here. Really like them.

Came here on. Sunday afternoon for a quick lunch. Order was taken right away and we were enjoying our selection within a few minutes. Food was hot and delicious. They have a help yourself salsa bar that also had pickled vegetables, radishes and jalapeños. Food was yummy and decently priced. Service was good and place was clean. This is our go-to Mexican place near our home. We have never been disappointed. Do recommended and will be back.

Yum, yum, yum! Seriously good chow in a no frills but clean little storefront. Barbara had crispy chicken tacos. She could happily eat tacos every meal for the rest of her life. She declared that these tacos were top notch delicious. My pozole was near on perfect. LOTS of tender pork meat cubes. Chickpeas cooked through but still toothy. Broth tasty without being spicy. If you want fire soup the small container of chile paste on the side will light your hair aflame. I've eaten 1000's of pozole bowls, this one was in the top five for satisfaction. Criticism? The salsa bar is limited. The 3 liquid salsas are watery. No deal breaker, just use more. Free basket of chips. Fresh tamarindo & horchata in the fountains. We ate and drank heartily for $38 with tax and tip.
