La Perlita

Food was excellent flavor full and delicious. Service was a little slow but good things are worth the wait. Would definitely go back

The most overpriced burrito ever- all rice! I ordered no rice, extra guacamole, super with chicken- the top and bottom was all folded up tortilla, barely any chicken or beans, or guac, which I paid extra for. Paid $20 including 30% tip because the person who took my order was nice. Truly bizarre.

Wow. I don't know if it's only in my head or what, but Mexican food is just so much better in San Diego; and this place is no exception. It's a small space that can accommodate maybe 10 people inside, so more of a grab and go situation. The menu is fairly standard aside from the Oaxacalifornia burrito. I've never seen this before and I am so happy I tried it. It's a carne asada California burrito with guac and pico de gallo. The kicker is that it's double wrapped with tortillas and in the middle is melted cheese. 10/10 would recommend.

I always visit here on trips to SD. Service is great. First time trying refried beans and the pickled carrots. Tasty! And yesterday I had the pozole. Omg. Hot and spicy. Pork was juicy and tender. Definitely a stop.

The chorizo breakfast burrito is sooo good & the salsa verde was incredible. The service was also good. The lady who took our order was so sweet.

Food was pretty good although the beans were soupy and bland and the cheese quesadillas were flavorless. Bathroom was closed so you couldn't wash your hands and the dining area pretty dingy. What was not good was when the woman who rang us up charged us for an extra entree. We didn't notice until we paid with a credit card. She then refused to refund and change the order because it had already run through the credit card machine. Wtf?

La Perlita in Mission Beach offers a culinary retreat for those looking to refuel after a sun-soaked day on the sand, with their Surf and Turf Burrito standing out as a popular choice among beach-goers and surf enthusiasts alike. This burrito combines the best of both worlds, offering a taste of the sea alongside hearty terrestrial fare, wrapped in a warm, soft tortilla. While the balance of flavors is commendable, a personal note is that a more generous serving of steak could elevate this dish to new heights, truly making it the epitome of surf and turf. Additionally, the experience could be further enhanced with more salsa provided on the side, adding that extra zing and customization to each bite. Despite these personal preferences, it remains a solid choice, providing a satisfying and convenient dining option that aligns well with the laid-back, beachside vibe of Mission Beach. Whether you're wrapping up a day of waves or just in the area, La Perlita's Surf and Turf Burrito is a good standard burrito worth considering, especially if you're in the mood to complement your beach day with a taste of local flavor.

food was lukewarm, flavor was a little bland but not bad, and they gave us part of the order wrong.

California burrito is amazing. Perfect little walk-up window to grab your food and walk to the beach. The lady at the register was the sweetest.

The service was absolutely INCREDIBLE! The sweet lady at the front took our order with such a genuine smile. The carne asada fries were easily 10/10. Such a nice place and I hope they stay for everyone else to experience it. So good
