La Perla Taqueria

Great food and large portionsSmall local businessJose and his wife own and run the placeService is good and usually quickMargaritas are amazing and reasonably pricedBanquet room and catering availableFor the past 2.5 years my workmates and I come her for lunch at least once a week. The place is quick, easy and Jose is so cool. My favorite is the Pollo La Crema or the Jose's Deluxe with Carnitas. My coworker says the Mole is the best and I am not an expert on that so I defer to him. Jose also makes a mean margarita and there are several options. Parking is easy, the restraunt is large and has a small bar and a banquet room. The menu is huge with lots of options.

I had ordered a breakfast burrito, heard this place was great. which it was! However i had paid for rice beans and sour cream- 4$ extra on top of the burrito and didn't get any of itService was great because they were very kind but didn't offer anything to make up for this. Instead said they just said we are busy.Ambiance is okay, smaller resturant

Very disappointing. I used DoorDash to order a large Pozole (paid $4 extra) and when I received my soup, it had 2 small pieces of meat and was literally 3/4 full of hominy! I upgraded to large for extra hominy? Also the corn tortillas were old and hard. Used to come here a lot for the great food but I haven't been there for a while, I wonder if the dine in servings are now just as bad as the "DoorDash" servings.

Real good food u should go there. They have wonderful service. But if u want parking should go there early can get full at night depending on what day.

The food was fantastic! Prompt service, yummy drinks and nice staff. We'll definitely be back!

Super nice folks here... Cozy classic taqueria vibe... However it's +1 star for being spacious with a big dining area + overflow side room. The bar looks fabulous and probably goes down as visual eye candy with no compare among taquerias... Including the charming donkey on the right of the bar (pictured).I mean to emphasize ... There's tons of charm & personality here ... Plus more importantly, the food is great. Just look at the talpia pictured? It's huge and beautiful!So it is located 1/4 block off the main drag... Almost an arterial side street which helps actually to maneuver in... But it might be tough to spot. Kind of a small parking lot too.Anyways... Why 4 stars? You gotta be nuts as it's no average competent 3 star establishment. It's also not a Michelin star or Michelin recommended Latino restaurant... And, I've dined at Michelin starred Latino establishments... Actually, just 1. Chuckles... That was good, but I did expect MORE ... They too got 4 stars from me. However, have I mentioned that thier tortillas are HAND MADE on the premises? Yeah, it's the diamond in the rough... 4 stars is just fine.Im off on a tangent again. So go check it out here. Admire the bar, order a fresh talipia n bunch of tacos...

Very good tortas and chips+salsa. I would go back. The pricing is alright and the atmosphere is nice.

Good restaurant. Currently both indoor and outdoor dining. Huge menu selection. Pretty good food. A little on the pricey side. And kind of slow service.I had a combination plate of taco, tostada, and enchilada, which comes with rice and beans. It was pretty good I guess but more on the plain side. And their salsa was kind of bland too.Someone else had machaca plate with flour tortillas and again beans and rice. Was just okay.The last person had a "giant" chimichanga with beans and rice. It wasn't giant. But it was tasty. I might come back. Nothing special though. There are other similar places I want to try.

@Cinco_de_Mayo, Best Mexican Food and a Full Bar. Happy Hour before 6 pm. Great friendly service.

Excellent food and margaritas. Great service and large selection of dishes. One of the best Mexican restaurants in San Jose.
