Food is very good. Best rotisserie chicken in town. The Jalea is also very good. I go for lunch specials

This place is truly 100% peruano!! If you are homesick and crave to return to Peru for a home cooked meal, don't despair, this restaurant is like going home and having your mom cook. The entire staff is super. They treat customers like family and the food is their expression of love. From ceviche to picarones, every meal is a delight. ¡Buen provecho! read more

Tried out La Perla, a Peruvian spot and the food was super authentic! Of course, I went with my go to Peruvian dish, the lomo saltado, and it was flavorful and delicious and definitely didn't disappoint. My friend got a Milanese chicken dish she loved as well. The service was quick and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. The only not so authentic part was the salad , it came with beets which we found a bit off. For dessert, we shared the passionfruit mousse, which had a crunchy crust at the bottom and a thin layer of chocolate on top ..such a great combo and the perfect sweet ending. If you're craving real, flavorful Peruvian food, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

This is a local and great spot for Peruvian food! It's one of my favorite spots to eat in general, as I'll occasionally crave their huancaina spaghetti with steak - it's so creamy and the steak is so tender. My absolute favorite! The portions on any dish are very large, sharing is highly recommended Inside is well kept, clean and also undergoes periodic renovations to remain updated. Service is always so attentive and the staff is very personable and friendly! read more

Been passing by this resto, not busy in the outside, but when we get in it was packed! So for a first timer, if we see a place so busy it means the food is great. And sure it is...first the ceviche, fresh and they made it spicy as how we asked it. Pescado with yellow sauce is really delicious compared to other peruvian restaurants we've been to. The Jalen mixta is also good but not the greatest. I wanted it more crispy and more breading on the calamaris. Service is a little slow, but it's because the resto is super busy when we got in. I'm not taking away points for it. Overall experience, great food, good vibes. read more

Good food. A little expensive but worth it. Highly recommend lomo saltado and pesto pasta with churascco

Great find in a place outside my normal travels! Six of us went and found a delightful experience! The fish dish that was shared between myself and an equally hungry neighbor was handily the best fried fish I've had in a long time! We both were fully satiated by our meals and our wives, who shared other dishes, were equally pleased! I feel compelled to return to further explore the delights offered here! Our server was more than up to the task of getting us what we wanted, even though it was a mixed Spanish English conversation! Overall, this was a more than adequate experience and I look forward to doing it again! read more

La Perla - Fish! Fish galore!!! - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

This is that kind of place that has that hidden gem quality. Unassuming, in a strip mall, no frills, and it's a drive to get to. Service is quick and efficient nothing astonishing but not at all lacking. Food come out quick and portions are very generous. Price is amazing for quantity and quality. But let me tell you it's delicious! It's authentic and it's made with love. The fish is really fresh and flavors are amazing. We ordered ceviche Callao style... it was simple, not drowning in sauces, just lime and salt, nothing to hide... it was fresh, yummy and satisfying. Also had the jalea... fish and shrimp and yuca... lightly breaded, perfectly crispy without being greasy, very fresh and tasty. Sealed it with a bavaroa for dessert... it was like eating a sweet cloud...fluffy and light and not overly sweet. There are so many good options... I had to bring something home. Got the beef tallarines to go... the portion can easily feed 3-4 people. They were super flavorful, the pasta was perfectly cooked and the beef tender. Definitely need to go back for more. Bring some friends. read more

Great service and food for a good price. We celebrated a couple of birthdays and engagements there.

Another great find less than a mile from my home. So happy to have dropped in to this wonderful restaurant. Nice and welcoming decor and kind arrentive waitstaff are the hallmarks of a great restaurant experience but add in delicious food and we have a winner. My choices the first time here were anticuchos, aji de gallina , and shrimp jalea. I loved them all but found the shrimp a bit salty. The anticuchos were a generous portion and among the best prepared I have ever eaten. Overall, an excellent meal. The second visit I tried the Pollo a la Brasa. This was outstanding. The moistness of the chicken and outstanding flavor was amazing. I have never had better! Their menu describes it as a roasted chicken taste explosion...I cannot argue with that. Lives up to the hype. The third visit I tried arroz con mariscos. This one was absolutely outstanding and is my new favorite! Each time i go now, I order one if these knowing it will be an outstanding meal. I have yet to try the ceviche, which looks amazing, or the desserts because I am too full. And there is so much more I want to taste! So why only four stars? The sides are so lackluster. Now, it is not that they are bad, it us they do not live up to the main dishes. The fries are unevely cooked, the plantains are too sweet, and the salad is, well, just salad. The thought and effort that went into the main dishes is somewhat missed on the accompaniments. But not enough to keep me from coming back regularly. read more

Here's a great place in the Kendall area. Went there for some chicken and Leche de Tigre ceviche. Food was fantastic. Definitely, coming back. Sorry, almost forgot. Make sure you get their green sauce with that chicken. It's out of this world. read more

Was in the area and I have been dying for some home made Peruvian food and was recommended La Perla located in West Kendall. The menu here contains variety of different Peruvian cuisine and very extensive. After reviewing we picked the papa de La huancaina which consist of boiled potatoes topped with a creamy tasty cheese sauce. For the main entree we then ordered was the grilled seafood platter which included calamari, shrimp, fried fish and two large tentacles of octopus. The dish was full of flavor and the very fresh seafood it also came with baked potatoes. For dessert we had the picarones which are Peruvian donuts topped with a honey based syrup. It was one of the best picarones in town even the waiter said that they come from a secret family recipe. The exterior of the restaurant was homey and the waiter was a riot in a good way. Would definitely come back to La Perla for some good Peruvian food. read more

A great spot for Peruvian food in Kendall! Came here after pickle ball and before rock climbing to get some proper fuel with some Peruvian food. My friends come here all the time before or after rock climbing since The Edge rock climbing gym is close by. The inside is spacious and provides a great place for catching up with friends or a date night. They have a lot of classic Peruvian dishes (+ more) and our group got a little bit of everything. This visit, we got a couple of dishes of the Huancaina Spaguetti con bistek, Lomo Saltado, and the crispy fried mixed seafood as an appetizer. Each plating and portion was huge and ideal for sharing. The mixed seafood appetizer was a hit and was the right amount for a group of 6 to share. My favorite is always the lomo saltado and came in a huge portion- bigger than I've ever seen for this dish. Everything was great and the service was pretty fast. Gratuity was already included, which I wasn't sure was the norm or was only applied to groups 6 or more (which is usually the case.) read more

Love going here it's a neighborhood staple and always a great choice. Big portions!! My favorite thing to do when it comes to this place is coming with all my friends and eating family style so you get a taste of everything from the ceviche to the chaufa. read more

The chicken is gooood, I didn't care for the piripiri sauce with it personally (I don't think I liked it much when I visited Peru so probably personal preference) but I did use the cilantro sauce they gave with the popped corn on the chicken! I had to order a chicken arroz chaufa too (probably should've picked shrimp or beef given that we ordered the chicken but I wasn't thinking) and it had so much flavor! The wok taste you'd find in a good Chinese restaurant... Yup it was here! Still thinking about it... Chica Morada jug is a good call for 3 people... Service was quick! Surprisingly quick and the waitress was considerate to ask if the toastones were too golden. Ambiance is good, large area with mix of tables and booths. Yum! read more

Delicious!!!! Takeout food for a rainy night. Strapped on the rain boots to get some scrumptious Peruvian food. Needed some hot sauce to make it perfect I will be back! read more

I had no idea this place was near me, but boy am I glad to have discovered it! Seriously their food is off the charts delicious. We ordered their ceviche de pescado, arroz de mariscos and their causa trio for starters and entree. For dessert we had the best bavarios de guindones in town. Everything was fresh and so full of flavor. Oh and plenty where I had left overs for the next day. Also I have to say their service was phenomenal. Shout out to Alex for being our amazing server. I cannot wait to go back! La Perla is a gem, in my book. read more

Satisfying find! I couldn't return home without a taste of Peruvian cuisine. The Chaufa Mariscos platter was served as "personal", while what it looked like was a serving for two, maybe even three. Excellent portion of seafood was well worth it - actually I think I got more than my money's worth; definitely more than my share! Plus the flavors undoubtedly a bonus! Their service was very polite and professional. You'd appreciate the cleanliness of the interior. This first may be a last, since I was just visiting and not from the area. However, this foodie experience will surely be remembered. read more

La Perla - Best Food and Service for Peruvian Cuisine in Kendall - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

Excellent place to enjoy in company of family.Food it's great and will definetely will come back.

Omg the tiradito is SO good. 10/10. I'm obsessed with it, it hits every time. If you can handle a little spicy, get it medium spicy. The tacu tacu is also really good if you like your rice fried with a slight scorched flavor. The only thing I've had that is just okay is the lomo saltado. Personally I think there's too much fry to meat ratio and the pieces of meat are cut too small. Other than that, the service is great and the place is often packed especially on the weekends! read more

I went here with my granddaughter and we ordered a lomo saltado and ceviche...HORRIBLE!!! the lomo had 4 pieces of meat and the ceviche was fishy, hours later my granddaughter was sick!! on top of that when I complained about the little meat they added scraps of what Im not even sure was the same meat. DO NOT COME HERE. read more

Came here as a recommendation from my cousins friend. It did not disappoint. Everything was nice and fresh. The food came out quick. We tried a ceviche, a Jalea, and a cau cau. It was all delicious. The jalea was fried just perfect and taste was on point. We made a reservation but got there earlier and 2 less people and they accommodated us right away. The place was nice and clean and very comfortable. Overall will definitely be back. read more

I really loved coming to La Perla for dinner. We ordered the Ceviche al Callao, the Pescado Encebollado, and the fried fish. All dishes were very flavorful and their portions are very generous to the point that you can share it. The Ceviche al Callao is served on a boat and it's very appealing. The aguadito was extremely good. We also ordered the picarones...omg! They are very good! Overall, the service and ambiance were good. We definitely recommend if in the mood for Peruvian cuisine... read more
