    seafood albondigas
    Berna V.

    La Perla used to be the old Mariscos Mi Mazatlan which used to be one of the best Mexican restaurants in Tucson...The new place have a nicer overall sea and naval theme going but the audio inside was just so loud. The wait time was a little long for the food but everything tasted really good and worth the wait. I particularly liked that they have a "seafood albondigas" as I've not seen that anywhere else in town. Their take on the surf and turf was perfectly cooked and it wasn't so expensive like many other restaurants that do steak and shrimp. It seems now that it's rare to actually feel satisfied/full for food that is not too expensive but La Perla really does that well. I'd like to go back but really hoping the wait time for actual food doesn't take sooo long next time and likely would also be a great idea not to get seated where the live music (the night we were there it was a guitarist-electric not acoustic-that was playing). Good food and really liked the new theme...def agree ¡En La Perla la vida es más sabrosa!

    La Perla Del Pacífico is the "Pearl of Tucson"! Don't miss out, we haven't had food this fresh since we ate our way across Greece. I just stopped in for lunch, and the place is pleasantly inviting. Service was fast and top-notch. The owner, Paul, takes great pride in everything they do there and it shows. The food was fresh, hot and let me tell you; I've eaten Mexican food all across America and this is one of the best. Oh, you don't like Mexican food? That's OK, they have amazing seafood dishes that will rock your socks, and you won't even know it's Mexican. I think the cooks are using Abuela's best recipes and they skimp on nothing! Just try it, it will become a restaurant you will return to over and over again. And you can take your out-of-town guest there and they'll think you're a genius!

    They always give you enough, tostadas, crackers, mayo anything that you might need to make your tostadas at home

    I haven't had the pleasure of dining in. I always order takeout, but I can't tell you that it's very typically decorated of a Mexican seafood place very lively. Also it's very clean and their staff is super friendly this time around I ordered two tostadas one shrimp and one fish ceviche, and their portions are quite generous. You can appreciate on the picturesthose 2 cups equals the two tostadas that I ordered I can probably make about six tostadas with the amount that they gave me love this place.

    Came to La Perla Del Pacifico on a Saturday afternoon wasn't too crowded I was greeted right away and seated promptly. They brought chips and salsa right away as well as taking my drink order. I was unsure what to get the waitress Stephany gave me good recommendations. I went with the à la Boston which is shrimp wrapped with bacon and filled with cheese it was amazing I would recommend . The ambiance was also great they had good music playing the whole time not to loud and when I asked for them to put the u of a game on they didn't hesitate . Overall great experience I will be back.

    Place is very clean and with a family friendly environment. It has a wide variety of dishes. I chose the fish filet with the culichi sauce. One word, OUTSTANDING! Well served, perfect on the body of the sauce and the fish made perfect. Comes with a small green salad and some home potatoes. Service 10 out of 10. The Lady that helped me was very friendly and attentive. I would recommend this to anyone.

It feels like a Mexican dinner or at least what I imagined a dinner in Mexico would look like. The staff where beyond amazing, especially the woman who made our complementary salsa right at the table. And the salsa was yummy but sadly that's the only part of the meal that I can say that about. The thing is, nothing was truly bad, but just about everything was incredibly bland. You'd have expected someone who puts raisins in potato salad to have served it, not an authentic Mexican restaurant. Though the positive is the lack of seasoning is really the only major problem. The food did not have any weird taste, it wasn't dry, the presentation was fine. It simply needs to be seasoned and this place goes to a solid 4/5 rather than a three.

The rest of the table (3 more) ordered the green chicken enchiladas. They didn't need to rave about it: their plates were completely clean at the end of the meal! We ordered Tamarindo and Horchata drinks between us, and frankly, the Tamarindo is some of the best I've ever had anywhere. Service can be a little slow, especially if they're busy. But we didn't really mind. It was a nice experience.

Their back patio looks super cute for warmer nights and the food was great. Little bit of a wait but the friendly servers got us sat as soon as possible at 7pm Saturday. Salsa and chips were tasty, the carne asada was excellent. The corn tortillas are thick and perfectly charred. The green enchiladas were good too. The sauce was thicker than usual, but that's probably the Native fusion instead of being just Mexican enchiladas. So glad we stopped in, we ate every bite. Forgot to take a picture until I was half through!

Honestly, I wish I could give Yaquesita a little more, maybe half a star more, because this place definitely has potential. Their flavors are good, but compared to similar restaurants the menu feels a bit overpriced. For a party of three we ended up paying around $100, which felt like a bit much for what we got. The restaurant itself is pretty small with only about 3-4 tables inside, but the patio is a decent size and has a cute vibe. It's actually a nice option on cooler days if you don't mind sitting outside. Some items were better than others. The wet-style burrito was delicious and definitely a highlight. The quesabirrias were good, however the birria felt more like fancier shredded beef. It was missing that rich, spicy, slightly acidic, earthy flavor that usually sets birria apart from barbacoa or traditional shredded beef dishes. The bowl was just okay and had lots of lettuce. It felt more like a salad with a bit of meat, rice, and beans. Honestly, Chipotle does bowls better, and that says a lot considering the price. The nachos were good, but I've had better. Seis Kitchen has amazing nachos to share. That said, it's definitely a place I'd come back to mainly out of convenience, not because one particular item on the menu won my heart. I really do hope they continue refining the menu because the flavors are there and this place could easily become a standout spot. Personally I just think at the total price of my ticket other restaurants should not even have room in my mind during my meal. If you're in the area and looking for a safe bet where everyone will probably find something they like, it's worth giving them a try.
