The super burritos are fantastic! My husband bit into his, pulled back, and said "Oh sweet heaven!" All ingredients were well proportioned throughout the burrito, so each bite had a little bit of everything. The rice and beans were so tasty and the meat was juicy and flavorful. In our order, we had a combination of chicken, al pastor, and birria. All three were phenomenal. We can't wait to go back! read more

Have you ever stepped foot in a place and as soon as you walked in the aroma of a home-cooked meal and Grandma's kitchen just hit your face? That's how I felt walking in! For a little corner, Taqueria, the restaurant is bright airy and pretty spacious as far as seating goes. They had an awesome clean and fresh salsa bar. We were greeted with a smile as soon as we stepped through the door. Three out of four of us ordered enchiladas queso with the red sauce. I had the flautas. Complementary chips and salsa. Although it was counter service to order and we sat ourselves, they brought our meals to our table on cute plates and boy were they full. You could smell the seasonings as they were brought to your table. Everything was fresh and when I say delicious, I mean delicious! My family absolutely devoured their plates. Really good portions and I ended up having to bring home my leftovers. My son has been here in the past visit visiting his auntie and highly recommends the breakfast burritos. I caught myself swinging my feet under the table and humming like a little kid as I ate. It felt like the entire staff said goodbye to us as we left. We will definitely be returning absolutely delicious food. The only downfall is not the restaurant itself. It's the parking and the Absolutely crappy drivers who don't know how to park outside just a heads up. read more

This review is for the breakfast burrito. It was excellent. Perfect thing to fuel us before a beautiful day hike in San Pedro Valley Park. It totally hit the spot and it was under $10 to boot. We got the chorizo but I think you can get it with bacon or sausage as well. I thought the burrito was well balanced and played nice with the different salsas from the open salsa bar. I really liked the orange salsa as well as the cut up radishes for some texture. Yum! Parking is super convenient in the lot. We pulled up, ordered, and while we were packing our salsas at the salsa bar they handed us our burrito. Super quick service. Inside was cutely decorated and I like the big windows. I definitely want to come back to try some of their other items. read more

3.5 stars! Really enjoyed my visit! The taco was tasty and fresh, and the overall experience was great. I went with the super burrito which was yummy but just too much going on inside. Horchata was perfect. The cashier was especially friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Good food, good service, and a nice atmosphere. I'd definitely come back! read more

First time here - rarely in Pacifica - and ordered my usual Al Pastor burrito with the tortilla grilled like a quesadilla. While ordering, I asked about their California burrito - they substitute crispy waffle fries for the rice. It was really good! ;) Very busy place, nice friendly staff & clean restaurant! read more

First time at La Perla and you order at the counter. The service was ok from the man behind counter. I liked the Al pastor burrito, good flavors and filling. The waffle fries could have had more fries for the price. Salsa bar on the side. Tables along the window. Card/cash accepted Small parking lot read more

The food was delicious the salsa was not spicy lol You would think the orange salsa would be but unfortunately that's the only one I liked I usually go for the green salsa usually salsa verde or salsa verde with avacado mixed in but the day I went wasn't that delicious The chips are kinda chewy thin but not crispy all the way but they literally only give you a small tray full so like maybe a handful of chips I got the birria taco Get that Open it up Dip chips with salsa and put little morsels of birria meat on the chip and eat til the chips are gone and then eat the taco shell with the meat and cheese read more

Full disclosure: I have never had any other Latin food int he Pacifica area, but for my first time trying it around here, I found a decent spot in La Perla! Right from the start, the service was great. I was greeted and when in need of extra time, the cashier was super patient. Service Grade: A I felt that there were a lot of food options and the food came out in a timely manner. I was with my daughter so I ordered myself a California Burrito with shredded beef (Birria de Res) and 4 tacos (2 steak, 1 chicken, and 1 pastor) to share with my little one. The food was flavorful and the burrito was a generous size. California burritos do not come with rice or beans, but rather, French fries. The French fries didn't seem fresh was my only minus for this place, but otherwise, the food was great! Food Grade: A- If I could give this place a 4.5, I would. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at La Perla and would come again when in the Pacifica area! read more

Been driving by this location all the time. It has a small parking lot which is a plus. We ordered: fish tacos Togo. Omg. The fish was battered and huge. We just had it with the cabbage, but added some lime juice. It was so good. We will definitely come back and try something else. No wonder it was so busy. The line was out the door to just order food which I noticed while waiting for our food. Wow. But it's worth the wait. read more

My go to place for great Pastor taco plates. Never disappoints! Comes with 2 tacos, rice and beans.

Haven't been here in years but came back to see why we haven't been here in years. Food was good. Meats had good flavor. Waffle fries got hit with shrinkflation. I recall the portion being so much bigger before, (not like I could finish either portion). Ordered a large horchata which was a yes for me. Not watered down, had good flavor. Their mole sauce was also really good. Didn't have that typical dark bitter sauce. It was pretty tasty. Workers were very friendly and eager to take our order. Seating is a tad odd since it's all hugged against the wall, but place is clean. Small parking lot that shares with multiple places however only 1 other restaurant lives there which is an Indian restaurant. Would def come back. read more

There's not much in Pacifica, but this Taqueria was a great find! Their burritos are pretty dang good. I usually get the veggie burrito and it's been delish every time. The place is clean and the workers are kind. Theres a sauce bar on the side where you can pack your own salsas and condiments. read more

This place is so dang good! Ordered chile rellano and chile verde plates. The pork was so tender and moist, rice was moist and fluffy, not the usual dry stuff. The refried beans had the most perfect texture and seasonings! Chile rellano was bomb! Guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo added the perfect touch to a well-balanced meal. read more

I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and they were not good at all. In fact, it was almost uneatable. The bottom tortilla was very hard and not warmed before using. It was covered in way too much cheese and the eggs were not soft as ordered but scambled and with no chili sauce. A very bad renditionof Huevos Ranchero. Quite surprising considering the breakfast burrito also ordered was excellent. This was online ordered and picked up. read more

I've been going here for at least 6+ years. Stumbled upon this place on accident and have continued coming here since then. My go to is Al Pastor super burrito with refried beans. Sometimes we also get the chorizo super nachos. They also have menudo and pozole that is yummy. Their orange sauce has a smoky taste that I really like. Like everyone else, prices have gone up a decent amount over this time, but we do keep coming back! We usually order to go and just eat it at home and will keep coming back. read more

I have frequented La Perla pretty often now. And I think it's a quality burrito. I enjoy the a pastor burrito. I think for the area it is a good burrito, and I enjoy the green sauce. Friendly services and clean restaurant. Is it the best burrito you'll ever have in your life? Probably not, but I think it's a good contender and worth trying still. read more

Team Perla is always welcoming and food comes out quick. I love the fact it's 5 minutes from mi casa. Get yourself some tacos or a burrito, walk two blocks and enjoy your food watching waves or a few paragliding folks in the air. Either way, food won't disappoint! read more

Six years later and time for an update. First, I should have come back here way sooner to update and say that, back in 2019, although I didn't care for most of their meats, the one truly excellent one they had was the shrimp. Absolutely delicious. And I just went back there tonight after not having gone there for a minute, shrimp is still wonderful, but here to update on something new La Perla has, at least new to me: they now have a chicken option that is made with chicken breast, and it's delicious. Back when they opened they only had dark meat chicken. Great for some, but not for white meat chicken snobs like me and many others. So when I went I tonight, although nothing changed on the big fixed menu up above, but on the wall to the right was a simple sign that said something like "we have steamed chicken." I said to the cashier, steamed chicken, what do you mean by that? It kinda took a minute to figure out but what it really should have said: "we now have chicken breast." Indeed, they still have dark meat chicken, I believe leg meat, for their regular grilled chicken, but now they also have -- and some of you will already have heard of this -- Pollo Cocido. If you ever went to the ol' beloved, but now defunct, El Grano de Oro on Francisco Blvd. (which is now Taqueria Pacifica and does NOT have pollo cocido) it is stewed chicken in a very mild red salsa, ENTIRELY chicken breast, and incredibly delicious. I ordered two pollo cocido tacos and they were excellent. And, they are still using those authentic golden masa tortillas, which are so delicious and WAY better tasting than the usual factory-made corn tortillas you get elsewhere. Granted, they are about ¾ of the size of those factory ones, but worth it because they taste so great and enhance the overall flavor of the taco. So ... my friends at La Perla -- you're gonna be seeing me a lot more often from now on! read more

Our fam orders from La Perla at least once a week! Friendly service and good food! Our go-to order includes fish tacos and shrimp/steak super burritos. Always a win! Love their self serve salsa bar. Ambiance is good - nice amount of tables and space. read more

Came here on. Sunday afternoon for a quick lunch. Order was taken right away and we were enjoying our selection within a few minutes. Food was hot and delicious. They have a help yourself salsa bar that also had pickled vegetables, radishes and jalapeños. Food was yummy and decently priced. Service was good and place was clean. This is our go-to Mexican place near our home. We have never been disappointed. Do recommended and will be back. read more

I've been coming to La Perla for years and I'm always so happy with the service and quality of food! My go-to order is a steak super burrito, churros and a horchata or mandarin jarrito. The super burrito hits the spot every single time!!! The churros are so slept on. The filling in the middle is delicious and it's always served piping hot. The horchata is the perfect amount of sweetness. They offer chips whether you dine in or take your food to go. Will continue going to La Perla for many years to come! read more

Always a great time at Taqueria La Perla. The girl greeting us as soon as we walk in and who takes our order is also so sweet and helps with a smile. The food always comes out within 10 minutes and never disappoints. I always get the baby burrito and its always flavorful. The place is a cute place that always has a nice energy and environment. *CHECK OUT THE SALSA BAR* :) read more

We ordered takeout. When we went, the place was sunny and parking (in the lot) was available. 1. Pleasant customer service 2. Variety and quality of salsas 3. The California burritos were very tasty I would go back. read more

Yum, yum, yum! Seriously good chow in a no frills but clean little storefront. Barbara had crispy chicken tacos. She could happily eat tacos every meal for the rest of her life. She declared that these tacos were top notch delicious. My pozole was near on perfect. LOTS of tender pork meat cubes. Chickpeas cooked through but still toothy. Broth tasty without being spicy. If you want fire soup the small container of chile paste on the side will light your hair aflame. I've eaten 1000's of pozole bowls, this one was in the top five for satisfaction. Criticism? The salsa bar is limited. The 3 liquid salsas are watery. No deal breaker, just use more. Free basket of chips. Fresh tamarindo & horchata in the fountains. We ate and drank heartily for $38 with tax and tip. read more

Dined in today for the first time. Ordered the Super Chicken Nachos and finished with churros on our way out. The nachos were so good! Perfect amount of each component, lots of flavor.

This place is actually pretty good. I was born and raised in SF so I grew up on those Mission district burritos. Their food is good and flavorful. I love the chips and salsa. I knocked of a star because I love some authentic guacamole and theirs is far from that. I don't even know if it should be called guacamole because it's more of a green cream than the typical yummy mashed avocados with all the fixings. I think if they would use actual guacamole it would be a 10/10. read more

Every thing here taste so good. Real authentic flavors. I usually get the burrito and it is awesome They have some amazing salsas as well the red hot is the best Customer Service is really good Has some seating inside. Real cool place for a good lunch read more

My girlfriend and I were craving breakfast burritos this morning so we went to Pacifica to see which spots were open. First time either of us have been to Taqueria La Perla. Breakfast burritos were on point. They were $9.25 each, which is hella crazy. Big fan of the orange salsa at the salsa bar too. Fast and friendly service. We'll be back. read more
