    Great location with awesome Mexican food. I was surprised how good it was! They have margaritas like no other place I've tried here in Paris. There's happy hour so that's a huge win win. I got the Mexican burger it was good just wasn't a fan of the potato that was served with it. Salsa and Tostitos that come before your meal are better then the ones you buy at the grocery store. Super salty and delicious.

    Mexican food in Paris? Sí! We stopped in on a whim to escape some crowds, use the free wifi, and grab a bite. As a wine drinker, I was impressed by the wine list here. We ordered a Côtes de Provence Rosè. Yum. The food: it's a-ok. Not amazing, but certainly not leaving-you-hungry-because-you-didn't-eat-it quality. We both had the huevos rancheros. Interesting with bacon. Not so great with over-hard eggs. Order with eggs over easy and you're good to go! Add some of the spicy salsa they bring with the chips and voila: deliscioisness. We finished up with cafe creama. Good. Would recommend.

    That white stuff is supposed to be guacamole.

    1.5 stars I'm sorry, what is this whitish-green stuff? Guacamole? No, no. I'm sure you're mistaken. No? Okay then... What should I use to eat the "guacamole" with? Chips, right? Oh, I have to pay for them? Um, okay... And you referred to this thing on my plate as what? An enchilada? But enchiladas are supposed to have red or green sauce. This is sort of a strange yellow-gold-white color. Are you just kidding with me or are you serious? And this margarita I ordered - isn't it supposed to look at least somewhat like the one in the picture on the table proclaiming "8€ margaritas!"? It's half the size the of the one in the photo. I guess the photo is just there for dramatic effect? (Insert sad face and image of me not having fun anymore.) And then there was the service. Okay, so normally I complain up and down about the rude waiters in Paris. This restaurant is the only one in the city where you'll be inundated with waiters who are frighteningly attentive. And in their snazzy tight-fitting t-shirts, none the less. It's like I went through a time warp to happy hour at an Applebee's back home. Oy. But by attentive, I mean that they don't communicate with one another. Every two minutes or so a different one will end up at your table and ask you the same question that the other three servers before them asked you. In a nutshell, don't go here. If you're American here on vacation, you can wait the few days it will take you to get back home to get your Mexican fix. If you're an American living in Paris, get your fix at Rice and Beans or El Nopal or Candelaria. And if you're French looking to try Mexican food, save your money and buy a ticket to Mexico or California.

    Come here for a margarita pitcher at happy hour....the food is meh

    I think this place is notorious for its pitchers of margarita during happy hour. It's half price until 8pm (so around 25€ for a liter), but it's a good value and above all, it's STRONG. Don't make the rookie mistake of splitting a liter of it between 2 people unless you're looking to get tipsy ;) That being said, happy hour ends quite early (8) and prices quickly jump after that (50+ euros for a pitcher is kinda steep...) Obviously, the other half of the reason why you come here is for the Mexican food. Unfortunately, it is at best underwhelming. I guess the delicious margarita set the bar kinda high for me, but I was disappointed in my food. It wasn't terrible, but it was just nothing special. This place seems to be really popular, and in nice weather, the outdoor seating fills up quickly. If you come here, get here before 8 so you can take advantage of the happy hour!

    For 8.90 at lunch time, La Perla will give you a starter, plate and coffee, or plate, dessert and coffee, as you like. Obviously, on my trip, I went for plate, dessert and coffee. It was exciting because I didn't get to choose which plate or which dessert. I never order shrimp, so I was pleased when they brought me shrimp and some other stuff wrapped in a tortilla and drizzled in what I think they thought was Enchilada sauce. It wasn't authentic, but it was still tasty. Even tastier was the pineapple tart dessert. The interior is nice and it's easy to get to. The prices aren't awful, but you do need to go in with the mindset that it's Euro-Mexican that you'll be getting.

    I am from Texas so I have pretty high standards of anyone claiming to have Mexican food. I am here for four months so I thought I would try it to get a taste of home. The salsa was actually spicy so me and my friend got a little excited that the food would we good. The plate of the day came out and what we heard was not what we got. It tasted a lot more like curry than anything else. The dessert was good but really small :( The cafe that accompanied was so strong but I am in Paris. The service was meh

    Margarita happy hour!

    Small amount of chips and salsa given as free appetizer. If you request more, there is a fee. The food isn't traditional Mexican.

So the little red door has a cute red door but the bouncer lets you in through another door (novelty observed haha). The man takes your jacket and umbrella (what a gentleman!) and sat us on the second floor. While the space between the couch and the seats were rather small, we were able to manage. I got the permaculture and resilience. The resilience is a club favorite and my favorite too! The way the sorghum, pineapple sage (syrup), pasquet cognac, and savanna rum all tied together was a blessing. I was going to get a third but I was tipsy by my second drink. My first drink was the permaculture and while I was considered it would be strong, it didn't seem strong to me. I love clarified dairy in alcohol so this was a win in my book. It consists of chestnut, butter, wakaze umeshu, avallen Calvados. The bar let's you stay for an hour but if you sit elsewhere, you can stay as long as you want. 5 stars and I hope to come back someday!

The bar exudes an old world charm with oak paneled walls adorned with vintage Hemingway photos and memorabilia. They had an impressive lineup of signature cocktails, but in a rare flash of memory from English Lit 101, I felt compelled to channel Hemingway's Jake Barnes in The Sun Also Rises, and chose Champagne instead. As expected the service was flawless. Immediately upon being seated, a young lady brought us olives and mix nuts in a divided dish. The waiter soon followed to take our initial order. Pro tip- They open at 5 pm so get there 10-15 minutes before to stand in line. We got there at 4:45 and there were several people ahead of us. It's a small intimate bar that only seats about 20 something people and it filled up within minutes after we were seated. We saw multiple people getting turned away and when we left, there was a long line at the door. Cheers!!

In this elegant hotel, after navigating valeted sports cars, chauffeur driven Maybachs, and the nicest classic Citroen performance sedan I've seen, you enter a lobby cocktail lounge that is the Canlis of cocktail lounges! From the valet and door staff to the hostess, maitre d and elegant servers the service could not have been much finer. Including coat check from the table and lounge settee with chairs. The bar appears to be full of whatever you would like but a signature cocktail menu that reads like a beautiful coffee table book is given to everyone. The drinks with names like Corn, Apple, etc are given to elaborate cocktails that are crafted with multiple layers of ingredients. Seems weird but everyone loved theirs and we all shared sips. I highly recommend that here if you are familiar with your companions. Call your banker first as $30 per drink is average! But the girl I raised bought it so whatever? Wish I photographed that menu!! Service is bright with ample and thoughtful olive and nuts assortments and water backs for all without asking. For a splurge I could not urge enough of you to try!! Seeing this hotel property alone is worth it right down to the gilded bathrooms excellently attended. We did not try the food as they were just about to convert to first dinner service and we had Xmas Eve dinner for the family booked at a different Michelin star restaurant later. I'll bet the food is the shizzle though!!!
