Flavor was good but why was it not hot, not even warm! The guacamole tasted good and fresh. The tortilla chips were my fav kind so happy about that. I also got a burrito and again, disappointed. At least it was hot but like 75% rice, 25% protein. No cheese, no crema and no salsa like the menu says and I think there was a teaspoon of pico de gallo in there too. I've never been to a Mexican restaurant where they don't serve you salsa on the side or on the table, this was crazy. Positives, the tortilla was good and so was the rice, both seemed homemade. But come on - this totally ruined my first experience.

Steak Nachos 8.3/10 - The first thing you see when opening these nachos are a healthy serving of steak, avocado slices, and cheese. No beans to be see though, untillll you get to the bottom. Combining all the ingredients together on one chip made for the perfect bite. So so so savory. I only wish a different queso was used instead of nacho cheese to really elevate this dish. But it was still really good even with it. Al pastor tacos 7.5/10 - Okay I gotta be honest here, the pineapple CARRIED these tacos. The meat was decent in flavor but a little too dry for my liking. I was also caught off guard by the flour tortillas, which lowkey added to the dryness. With that being said, the pineapple was on point with how much it was cooked and the juiciness it provided. Paired with the radishes and green sauce these tacos went from being kinda average to pretty damn alright. Man I wish more places did pineapple as good as this place. Jamaica 8.2/10 - I normally don't order this drink because of how strong a floral taste it usually has. But for some reason I felt like taking a chance and ordering it today. I'm glad I did because I finally found a place that isn't ode with that gawd damn flower taste. The drink just the right amount of sweet with a tiny touch of sourness as well, and the floral taste came in towards the end but still wasn't as strong as I worried it'd be. Green Sauce 6.7/10 - This sauce in terms of flavor is pretty standard as they come, minus any signs of spiciness. I would also like to point out that there was basically no chunkiness to the sauce at any point. It was very watery which kinda affected how much I enjoyed it on my food. It still brought in a good flavor to the tacos and nachos. Red Sauce 7.4/10 - I'm not gonna lie chat, this sauce was spicier than i wanted to admit. I regretfully took a sip straight from the cup and had to take a minute to reevaluate the decisions that led up to this point. Even though there was a decent flavor, it was overtaken instantly but scorching fire and all signs of life were destroyed. Sinuses were clear though Overall 8/10 - I had a good experience coming to Taqueria Dos Perla's, the atmosphere was nice, the people were nicer, and the food was filling. I see a strong potential in the nachos being even better with one single ingredient change, and if they used corn tortillas for the tacos instead and cooked the meat for slightly less time and more marination, these plates can become as good as they were destined to be.

VERY simple looking from the outside but extremely inviting atmosphere and decor when you get in. It is street parking only on a busy main street. I got lucky and scored a spot directly in front of the restaurant on this rainy evening. We started with the Quesadilla with steak in a corn tortilla. This is what really brought it down from 5 to 4 stars. Keep in mind, this was the equivalent to our appetizer, so we were very nervous after this. Extremely lack luster. Disappointingly little steak and even less cheese. It was as if we were eating a piece of a corn tortilla. Avoid the quesadilla. We then shared an order of enchiladas. Things were getting better. Enchiladas were solid. Nice kick to the green sauce with pieces of pineapple to hit you with a left hook. Came with rice and beans as well. This could've been a meal but we decided to share this to try different things. The burrito was the final thing on the menu. I got the Al Pastor burrito and it was excellent. Very tasty and well put together. Only thing that struck me odd was that it came with French fries opposed to rice and beans. I kind of would've enjoyed it a lot more with the rice and beans as the fries were average at best. I ordered online as I was stuck in traffic and everything was ready when I got there, which was prior to the estimated pickup time. All in all, very solid meal and there's plenty of seating if you're looking to dine in as well.

Rice, black beans, all the fix-ins and some birria sauce on the side for me to drizzle all over the meat. This I would consider an authentic Mexican restaurant in the middle of North Arlington.

We were lucky that they were having drink specials this night so we part took in those. There was also a DJ playing as it was a Friday night. The starter of free chips and salsa were very good and the salsa was amazing. We ordered the combination fajitas of shrimp and steak along with a spicy taco meal that I'm losing the name of right now. The shrimp and the fajitas were good, but the steak was definitely overcooked with inconsistent bites. The flavor and seasoning were also very good. All in all we had a good time coming out. It wasn't anything over the top but definitely good for a Friday night in the summer.
