Located in a strip mall. The restaurant was clean inside, got my order fast, and the staff were friendly. The chorizo breakfast burrito was delicious. read more

Yeah, tacos weren't that good. Had tripa, lengua, buche, and asada and all were below average. All lacked flavor and texture. Salsa also were bland and not spicy. The asada is almost like grinded, reminds me of an Al-Rico taco. It also has this off-putting smoky taste to it. Also, they wrapped two tacos in foil and with the steam inside that package cause both tacos to fall apart the second you grab it. It was a mess. Just put them in container. Needless to say, I will refrain on a second trip here. read more

The Asada is so soft n flavorful!!! Really good portion size taco too, got some fat tacos for pretty cheap I LOVE this place‼

Amazing layout of the place with lots of space to sit. The taste and flavor of the food is delightful. Did not have to wait long for my food to be ready! read more

Grilled chicken Torta ordered and shrimp cocktail with extra hot sauce ordered. Light on oil. The worker said it would be ready in 8 minutes. We went to get it. Arrived and it's a warm restaurant. Clean, safe and practiced. The order was ready and the worker was nice! Lunchtime! Got everything set up. Split evenly. Wow! Absolutely delicious, fresh and tasty shrimp cocktail! Flavorful! Love! It gets better! The chicken torta half was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Not oily. Chicken tasted really delicious with the fresh veggies, hot sauce and bread! Great hot sauce too! Mother said hers was really great! Fresh and happy the worker listened with it not being oily. A lot of meat was a big plus too! Not stingy at all! The only problem was the container of shrimp cocktail split and went in the bag. Not a big deal. Still worked out! Good service and delicious food! Highly recommended! read more

The staff is nice. The food comes out and looks good. The carnitas tacos with rice and beans looks goo but the taste was not good at all the meat was off somehow. I took 1 bite and didnt eat nothing more and the Caldo de Res had no flavor at all and didnt look that great. We just got up and left everything on the table. Very disappointing! Should have went to burger Shack like I first intended. I can recommend way better places than here. Wont go back. Regretted it. read more

I came by yesterday to do a company meeting. The staff was super helpful. They allowed us to move tables where we needed to, and also turned down the TV so we can hear each other. The food was good, and came out super quick. I was very pleased. I will definitely return. read more

This place is still my favorite after all these years. Got a chorizo breakfast burrito last weekend and was reminded how great the food is. It was $11 for two burritos, each with chorizo, eggs, potatoes, and cheese, plus their delicious salsa that I could drink because it's so good. My favorite thing about them is their consistency though. I have come at all random times during their open hours and I always get amazing food that isn't vastly different from the last time I had it. If you want tacos, a chimichanga, or a breakfast burrito, or any other yummy Mexican food, you can't go wrong with La Perla. read more

Highly recommend!!! Food is amazing! The service is 10/10. I've had their famous tacos ahogados and I can't get enough! The portions are generous. I've also had the burritos and also delicious! read more

I've been going to this gem for years! But today has definitely put a fork in that because I am so done! I sent my two son's in. (Their first time ever doing anything like this, as a teaching moment.) Gave them something easy, order 7 bacon breakfast burritos (our family's favorite) and a $100 bill to pay for it. When my son's came back they said everything went well, had the food and change in hand. I counted the change $58 with a badly ripped $10. I was going to continue home w the raggedy $10 but then he told me the lady gave no receipt. I believe because of the person she is, she gave that to my son on purpose thinking he wouldn't make it an issue. But that's when we returned. I had to explain to my kids that w/o a receipt a person can charge you any amount they want, and still give the restaurant what they are owed but pocket the rest. Seems like exactly what is happening!! But you be the judge. He went in and asked for one and was verbally told "I charged you $6 each burrito." The receipt he came back with said his change was shorted .36 cents. See pictures. I went in and this "Bape" was rude and arrogant that's what her hat said, and I called her by it but she got offended when I did. She literally punched in random numbers in her machine and said you're right the burritos would be 6.27 each lol, I am not in here because you charged me too little!! The menu said 5.79 and She began telling me if I know that 6x7=42. (I'm a nurse.) the receipt she gave my son first has taxes which she said were wrong so I guess that's her reasoning why she didn't give my son's all the change he was due. She was saying taxes are up so that's why but the receipt she wrote has no taxes at all. Ultimately the burritos had 4 different prices, 5.49 on our receipt, 6.27 on her register, 5.79 on the menu, then $6 on a receipt she sarcastically wrote out for us. Do you know the IRS May be interested that you are making up a .50 cent tax on each burrito you sell? It's sad the dad has made this business what it is and may be handing it off to you one day. You definitely need to grow up, learn how to be professional and learn customer service! The right things to do would've been explaining to us why the receipt was "wrong" by your twisted definition, still given us the .36 cent that were due to us and get your machines fixed/replaced. There is absolutely no way you were right in anything you said or did. We will not be back, lost a loyal customer, with a big family !!! read more

When you just have to describe the food as WOW! Place is toooo good! First time here and having the Tacos Ahogados! They are so spicy you have to know how to order them. I got medium spicy and my eyes are watering but the flavor is so good I can't stop eating! Try this place it's great! read more

I've only ever got breakfast burritos from this place. But, those burritos are very good. Simple, quick, and inexpensive.

I just can't get enough of the machaca breakfast burritos. I don't normally post pictures of half eaten food but just look at it....so much beef and peppers. Machaca burrito day is always my favorite day in our house. I really want to try something else on the menu but I love the machaca burrito with a ton of green salsa SO MUCH! read more

La Perla Tapatía - Machaca burrito - Mexican Near Me - Fresno, California

This is my favorite place to eat at during lunch. Quick and delicious authentic Mexican food

This is, I think, my favorite taqueria. All of the meats are always good cuts, no fat, just the meat. Good quality chicken, pork and beef which is important to me. Fresh vegetables. Simple salsa bar with a red and green, pickled jalepenos/ carrots/ onion/ cauliflower, cabbage, and limes. Simple but very very tasty. I have been told that his home made pickles I just mentioned are the best in town, and I believe it. The owner is usually taking the order and also helping in kitchen. Very pleasant man, proud of his home country of Guadalajara, an area of which his restaurant is named after. There is always a soccer game on the TV. This is a modest place, but clean and authentic. My go to order in the weekends is the Machaca breakfast burrito. Chicken burrito is another favorite. Lately I've been enjoying his Al Pastor Tortas and his Chile rellenos. I have not had a poorly prepared item here. Always consistent, mainly because the owner is always here making sure everything is done right. I just love this place, and I have honestly eaten almost everywhere in Fresno. The owner ran out to the parking lot to hand me my flour tortillas that I forgot on the counter one time. They offer a full line of authentic Central American soups which I see being ordered a lot but have not tried. I highly reccomend this joint. read more

We got asada tacos and nachos. Both were delicious. Service was friendly and quick. Space was cozy and comfortable. Definitely will be back!

The food was delicious and tastes 100% authentic. I visit Guadalajara frequently and the flavor, spices and taste is incredible! I've been looking for this quality and great flavor for so long and I'm so excited about this discovery! I love the great customer service and cleanliness . Will recommend 100% and return . read more

This place is authentic. Great food and service. Try the shrimp burrito or breakfast plates.

Who can really pass up on a $3 breakfast burrito? My SO and I stayed in a hotel nearby for our mini weekend getaway and wanted a hearty breakfast burrito. This was walking distance. The egg, potato, chorizo and cheese burrito was so large we should've shared but my SO thought it would be small because if it's price. The egg, potato, chorizo and cheese were well mixed so I got a little bit of everything with each bite. Their hot sauce is spicy so beware! read more

The best tortas ahogada I've ever had, seriously! I've eaten them in Guadalajara, but these are by far my favorite!!! If your in the area definitely get some!!! Coming from a gringo white boy! Lol. read more

Best breakfast burritos I have found in Fresno for my taste. I always get bacon for me and chorizo with beans for my girl. The green salsa is amazing and can't be beat. I read some of the reviews on here of people complaining about bad customer service or no beans in their burrito. I've never had a bad experience with customer service. As for the beans, all you have to do is ask. It's not hard to ask questions about the food you want. I would definitely recommend this place on breakfast burritos alone, it's all I get. read more

Not in the nicest strip mall in Fresno (maybe don't bring your wife and kids at night), but don't let that stop you from trying the food. Among the best breakfast burritos in the Fresno area, also with authentic Guadalajara flavors on the menu, plus items to please a more American palate, with plenty of spicy stuff if you want to add some. The breakfast burritos: They manage to pack a ton of great flavors and textures in, without being too greasy. If you haven't had a lot of more authentic Mexican food, be sure and try the machaca (shredded beef with onions and peppers) breakfast burrito. Their machaca is very tender, and packed with great flavor (it has a really good extra seasoning/flavor I haven't tasted in machaca before, which I'm still trying to figure out). With the fluffy eggs, hot potato, and some salsa, it's totally craveable. The tortas: Again, if you've only experienced less authentic Mexican food and tortas aren't on your radar, it's time to branch out. It's basically a Mexican panini, with a special bread packed with Mexican flavors you'll recognize and enjoy. Their standard torta is above average, and benefits from their flavorful meat. But . . . that's not the torta they're know for . . . THE TORTAS AHOGADS DE GUADALAJARA: This is definitely not entry-level authentic Mexican food, but it's really what puts this place on the map. Instead of the customary grilled/pressed torta, this authentic beast is filled with roasted pork and onions, and smothered in a spicy red chili sauce. You can try to eat it with your hands, but it truly requires a knife and fork (thankfully they give you metal silverware!). Not what I'm always in the mood for when I feel like a torta, but definitely worth trying, to expand your Mexican flavor experiences! Very flavorful, and very filling. The salsas: They have a well stocked salsa bar, which you would expect, with all of the salsas clearly made in house. However, when you talk to the owner, you can find out that there are often special small batch - and often very spicy - daily salsas in the back they will give you if you ask. The chef makes a carrot and habanero salsa which is unlike anything I've ever tried - and was super spicy, and super delicious. Warning: if you think anything they serve at Taco Bell is spicy, don't try the carrot habanero salsa. Again, definitely not the fanciest place, and maybe not the cleanest (the walls and "art" could use a dusting/cleaning), but in a sea full of average Mexican food, this place stands out with unique offerings and flavors, the chance to try new and delicious things, and the chance to test your heat tolerance if you're someone who thinks they can handle hot salsas and hot sauces. read more

As close to home (Los Angels)as it can get. Legit mexican food at amazing prices. This place is a hole in the wall so don't expect great ambience. It's all about the food! The man working the register is short tempered, so you better go in knowing what you want to order. Pozole is to die for! Salsas with the right kick! Agua frescas are a refreshing compliment to your meal. read more

I came in with a friend. He bragged that they had the best Tortas in town. The place is small and very friendly. Ordered the torta my friend recommended and it exceeded my expectations... The Torta covered in chili is total FIRE!! It's great! I love it. Ordered with a Agua Fresca. Make sure you have a napkin cause your nose will start running with that good chili. read more

My mother is from Guadalajara so the name of this restaurant caught my attention right away. We ordered one taco se asada, one taco de pescado, a burrito de camarones, and a tostada de ceviche. Everything was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo delicious!! I recommend the tostada de ceviche. It wasn't like hardcore lemony as some restaurants like to make their ceviche and it wasn't fishy either, it was perfect! Also, the burrito de camarones will not disappoint! We will definitely return to try the rest of the items on the menu! read more

I found this place when I typed "breakfast burritos" into Yelp. I called in a to-go order for three breakfast burritos with bacon. I asked for green salsa inside since I noticed they don't have beans, and thought they would be a bit dry. I was of course, correct. They forgot to add the salsa, and the burritos were terribly dry. The egg was good, but the bacon was over-cooked and hard (not crispy just hard and chewy), hardly any cheese, and an abundance of over cooked potato. I was disappointed, but still ate most of it. These burritos have potential. read more

La Perla Tapatía - Breakfast burrito with bacon. - Mexican Near Me - Fresno, California

Had been wanting to try this place for a while. I thought this was the day, since Geno's disappointingly had a "cash only" sign in the window for some reason today. When I entered there were two customers sitting at two different tables, and a man behind the counter who was ladling some liquid into some container. He didn't say anything and basically just ignored me. After looking at their menu for a minute or so, and still being ignored as if I wasn't standing four feet in front of this guy, I walked out. Apparently they didn't really want my business enough to acknowledge my presence. Very uninviting and nothing I saw inside made me think the food would be worth trying to get anyone's attention. Crossing this place off my list of things to try. read more

Very average taqueria. Asada tastes different, maybe if it had better seasoning or it could have been older meat. Green Chile was good but the red one was not. If your a fan of premio or have had one of the outstanding taco trucks in the greater Fresno area then you should stay away from this place. read more
