My wife and I stumbled into this place after visiting the Santa Ana courthouse, so glad we did! Excellent food and service. We went on a Tuesday and they had a taco Tuesday special, so we tried all their tacos...so good! The El Pastor is my favorite hands down from anywhere around OC, and their potato tacos was great as well!

The place is cute and the service is good - very friendly and quick. We went not realizing it was brunch only till 4pm on Saturday- our bad but selection was not great if you want something basic like tacos. Food is Al la carte and overpriced. The food is tasty but over $90 for sodas and enchiladas and guacamole - not worth it. We could have spent the same elsewhere and gotten just as good of food for less or more for that price. We won't be back.

The food is fantastic (order only took 7 minutes to arrive to our table) and the service is amazing! We went for lunch on a week day and ordered the chicken enchiladas & steak taco fajitas. Amazing! Lots of flavor and piping hot. Ask for the hot sauce upon request, you wont be disappointed. Street Parking can be tricky but not impossible to find, plenty of options (garage parking). Highly recommend going early or/and for brunch on weekends only.

A very nice Mexican spot here in Santa Ana. Parking is a breeze as it's just next to a public parking lot. Food is great and so is the service. A good twist to Mexican food. Drinks are also great and balanced.

We had dinner at Perla. The place is nicely decorated with a small patio in front. We split the guacamole with chips, the portion is okay for the cost. I had the carne asada salad, a nice portion of flank steak with greens, red onions, feta, and strawberries, with an agave vinaigrette. The hubby had three fish tacos, he liked his food and enjoyed the tacos wrapped in flour tortillas. The service was prompt and friendly. It's a bit pricey for the portions.

We happened to be attending the Dia De Los Muertos event so it was understandably busy but we got lucky and our party of 4 got sat within 5 minutes.We ordered their chips & guacamole which was small but delicious, especially those home fried chips!Our party had the veggie fajitas, shrimp ceviche, shrimp enchiladas and a chile relleno and we were super happy with their unique flavors and freshness. We had to add sides since those are ordered separately.I had 2 of the Horchata Martins (delicious!) and we ended with their flan and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The service wasn't as attentive but we totally understood because of the event so we were very patient. Our waitress always had a smile on her face.We sat on their patio which was very family friendly.I would have given it 5 stars except for all the sides you have to order separately & they're very small portions. Even chips & salsa are extra, and again, small little salsa.But you know what? The food was so good we will be back!

Went here for a work lunch. Parking is free for 2 hours in the parking structure. I got the 3 enchiladas and it was delicious!! My boss got us some tamales with cheese on top beforehand and it made me full. My coworker recommended me the jugo verde and it was bomb. Refreshing drink with gin and I don't even like gin. I like the cups it came in. The interior is pretty nice and modern with open windows, where it's super bright during the day time. I would definitely come back to try their other offerings. I don't really like sweets but the churro ice cream was good, and the churros had unexpected filling inside. I also really liked the flan. It's on the pricier side but mid range id say. It sucks u have to order rice and beans on the side, as my coworkers did. Workers were nice/friendly, and remembered my boss from previous experiences lol, and they joked around.

I always passed by this place and never paid much attention to it. So glad we ended up here. The mariachi caught our attention and we ended up sitting at the bar as all their tables were already reserved. Please sit at the bar! The amazing duo of Brody and Angel gave us an excellent experience from ordering our drinks, food, and making great laughs. Shoutout to the manager on the floor that Sunday morning to join in our laughs and free shots. This is small restaurant is not only full of flavor but filled with laughter and good times. Their upscale vibes fit perfectly with the overall theme of the restaurant, making it perfect for an intimate setting, to a larger party vibe. We'll definitely be back as this is truly a unique dining experience.
