The servers were slipshod. Only half the guests at the large table I was sitting at recieved plates and utensils. Instead of leaving a pitcher of water at each table, we had to repeatedly ask for refills. Food was mediocre at best. And to top it off, while we were dancing near the end of the evening, they cleared the table, which included my half full mixed drink which I had purchased at the main bar in the restaurant.

This one does both. Don Pollo, which judging by reviews has taken a pretty big turn for the better, was a wonderful surprise. My family had ordered it once during COVID (takeout) and wasn't wowed. Returning now, I was. Upon reading reviews, I found that the takeout ones were more negative, so I must recommend dining in. By dish: Empanadas - Would Recommend. They're what you want. Crispy, filled up, and tasty. Seafood (for 1) - Highly Recommend. Although it's definitely not for one (I could see two people having this), I love the presentation, and of course taste is the most important thing which this restaurant really delivers for. I tried one of everything, they were all crispy and the sauces paired great along with the little slices onions. Salad - ?? Sorry, I'm not a salad guy so I didn't have it. I liked the generous amount of avocado though. Plantains - good enough. They come with another dish and they're good. Same with the fries. I like that they come with sausage, and they aren't soggy, but really they're nothing special. Chicken combo - would recommend. Tender, nicely seasoned, and the sauce went great with it. Seriously, you are gonna have so many leftovers if you come here, and you will not mind because it's great. I'm having this stuff for lunch tomorrow. Fried rice - comes with the chicken combo, and tastes nice. It contains chicken and egg as the protein, and tastes good. What can I say? Oh, and for people who care, the service and ambience was nice, though I wasn't the biggest fan of hearing about the Epstein files on Newsmax while trying to enjoy lunch. But food is the only thing that I take into account when scoring, lol.

The menu features a variety of Mexican-inspired dishes and cocktails, with an emphasis on bold flavors and traditional ingredients. I ordered the beef tacos, which came as three generously filled tacos. They were very tasty, well-seasoned, and satisfying, with flavorful meat that paired perfectly with the toppings. The portion size was filling and great for the price. If you dine in, they also provide free tortilla chips, which is a nice bonus while waiting for your food. Service can vary depending on how busy it is, but staff are generally friendly and accommodating. Overall, Las Perlas is a solid choice if you're looking for a fun environment, good portions, and tasty Mexican food. The beef tacos are definitely worth ordering.

I shamefully ignored this restaurant for years in favor of the Argentinian place next door. I'm not…read morecompletely sure why. Maybe it was the plain, unassuming store front or their sole advertisements recommending only roasted chicken, a food that can be found at literally fifteen different places within a four block radius. Whatever it was, it's safe to say that it wasn't love at first sight. But, it was love at first bite. I had their mixed seafood ceviche. A colorful plate arrived of squid, shrimp and octopus sitting in lemon and lime and topped with chopped onions accompanied by a boiled potato and a large slice of sweet potato. The ceviche blew my mind. I'd never thought of ceviche as "hearty" before but the flavors were fresh and comforting. I think it may very well be one of the standout menu items. They offer three different varieties here, and I'll keep returning to try them all. I also can't say enough good things about their tamales. I am, by no means, an expert on tamales but I've had enough to know a good one when I taste it. And these rank pretty highly. You must order yourself one when you stop in. Trust me, you'll thank me later. Aside from the ceviche, their primary offerings are their steaks with rice and beans and their previously mentioned roasted chicken. The waitress highly recommended their pollo, saying that they marinated it very well and that it's their most popular item. She showed a lot of enthusiasm and pride in it. And it must be good, how often does a waitress push the cheapest item on the menu? I walk by this restaurant almost every day and their dining room is almost never even half full. I'm not sure how they stay in business. Costa Verde is easily the most underrated restaurant in my neighborhood.

Usually there's also plenty of seating, and the area is clean.
