Don't be discouraged by the lack of parking or the fact that it is a food truck...the food is simply amazing!!! Had some incredible carne asada fries, a delicious fried shrimp burrito, a super cheesy quesadilla and will continue trying everything on their menu. Highly recommend! read more

Horrible customer service. We waited over 10 minutes at the window while staff were clearly there, but no one acknowledged us at all. We were the only customers no line, no crowd yet still completely ignored. Not even a simple greeting. After standing outside the truck for that long with no response, we decided to leave without ordering. Unfortunately, we never got the chance to try the food, so I can't speak on its quality. However, the pricing is on the higher end pricing. As for the atmosphere, parking is very tight and the setup is outdoors, which made the wait even more uncomfortable. Really disappointing experience. read more

We have always had good experience at this food truck as the food is delicious. Customer service has always been great and once they even gave my baby a plate because she kept playing with it. But today it was different, I got my baby a asada taco but the asada was too big for her to pass. We asked if they could cut it in smaller pieces and the lady that was there (first time I saw her at this food truck) and she gave us a rude face and paused for a second then said to give her a moment. The guy that was by the cashier then did it for us. I have never had a problem with their food or customer service until today which I understand what I asked may have been annoying but I didn't ask in a rude way read more

Randomly saw this place on chance and wanted to try. Don't see a lot of seafood looking trucks so had to check it out. Got fish tacos and they were pretty solid. Some of the best breading I've had on a fried fish tacos and all the flavors were there. My only fault would be the fish to tortilla ratio, in which the amount of fish we got was really inconsistent from taco to taco. IMO, very important when it comes to tacos. Service was fine. Overall a fun experience, great vibe, and a good time! read more

La Perla De Michoacan - Seafood Near Me - Vista, California

Mariscos La Perla de Michoacán 2927 E Vista Way, Vista, CA This spot really surprised us. Everything was delicious and felt super homemade. Melchor was super kind and attentive from the start. You can tell they care about their food and their customers. The consomé was honestly one of the best I've had. Full of flavor, not watered down like at some other places. The taco gobernador is a must. Shrimp, bell peppers, onions, cheese. Everything grilled perfectly and packed with flavor. We also got the ceviche tostada, and the portion was really generous. It came loaded with shrimp, cucumber, tomato, onion, cilantro, and thick avocado slices on top. They even drizzle that dark salsa, maybe salsa negra, that gives it a little kick. So good. Tried the tacos de camarón enchilado too. The chile had a nice spice, not too much, and tasted like something made at home. Out of all the mariscos places I've tried around here, this one really has that authentic sazón. Definitely coming back. read more

Charges much higher prices than what's on the menu without saying anything. Ordered 3 items for a total of $42 and it should have been $32. Food was good, nothing too special read more

Wow! Stupendously delicious fish tacos. Like unreal. After I ordered and was waiting for my tacos, the man asked me if I wanted some consomme. See, I didn't know their fish soup aka consomme was the nectar that beckons people to come to La Perla over and over. It was savory, tangy, fresh, and homemade. A great experience. If I lived in the area, I'd eat here several times a week. read more

Great deal on their $2.69 fish taco Tuesday! Fish was crunchy outside, juicy inside, freshly made after ordering. Size is large, sauces are good. Need to wait around 7 mins for them to make it fresh. Bring me back to streets of Ensenada. Service was very good, friendly. Free small cup of consomé while you wait. Great fish taco Tuesday option in north Vista area! read more

This is one of those spots that I don't really want to drop a 5 star review on because its so good and such a hidden gem. One of those spots you just want to keep for yourself so there is not a crazy line when you go back. Well its also one of those places that you just have to share with your fellow yelpers like a good elite should. Wow talk about fresh ! I went on Taco Tuesday and the fish tacos are only $2 bucks, this is a great value, very large size. The service was friendly and the wait was not long at all. They even gave me a small cup of consommé (Mexican soup for you gringos) . I need to come back and try different things on the menu but the fish tacos are a solid 10 out 10. read more

Super low pro spot! Super bomb! Fried Fish tacos were perfect. Asada taco was huge, I made two out of it. But the Shrimp Tostada was show stopper! It's never been my "go-to" but someone eating here had one, tried, loved it. Highly recommend this place. Service might have been as good as the food. Go! read more

Absolutely fantastic seafood in an unexpected location. My octopus tostada was HUGE. It tasted perfectly fresh and well seasoned. Definitely one of the best tostadas I've had. The prices are very fair for the size and quality. My guy loved his fish burrito. We're planning to come back for taco Tuesday, and to try their aguachile and other tostadas. We asked their hours and they said they open around 10am, and stay open until sometime in the evening, depending on how busy they are. We went around 8 pm on a Sunday and they were open. read more

Tucked away in the parking lot of the liquor store. This place is KICK @SS! Got 3 tacos. One fried, an asada and an abodaba! They were HUGE and packed with flavor. They use red onion instead of white. THAT tells me they care about quality. FANTASTIC tacos and big portions. I should have only gotten two! HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

Food was good. However, I got there at 1:15pm. I got my food at 2:16pm. I was the first in the line and the last one to get their food.

Tasty seafood, my girlfriend enjoys eating here as well. Tuesday tacos is a good deal and tasty, also a good time to get fish tacos and a soup or toastada, I have tried the 7 mares soup also and was tasty filled me up and was not lacking seafood inside the soup, I do not go regularly, but being far away from my favorite seafood places. This one is a good to visit nearby. read more

This place is beyond amazing!!!! It's better than any seafood restaurant I've ever been. I grew up eating the best seafood on the streets of Ensenada and this place tastes like home. The owners are so nice and proud of what they do, as they should be. We got a free cup of shrimp soup while we waited for our food, yum! We had the fish ceviche and an octopus, clam and shrimp cocktail. They were so good! I can't wait to come back here. I'm so glad I live only a few blocks away. read more

Talk about an unexpected surprise, this place is fantastic. Absolutely fresh and tasty seafood. The fish tacos are probably the most popular but I also tried the octopus and it was amazing. The seafood cocktails are also super good, especially the campachana. Parking can be a challenge but that is part of its charm. Give it a try! read more
