    A variety of tacos, al pastor and asada
    Andy M.

    This duel threat of Mexican grocery store and restaurant is superb! Partner and I came in around dinner time and were met with a small line to order our food. The staff are very polite and welcoming while taking your order and delivering food to your table. The laid back casual nature of the interior may not be everyone's jam but the food is stellar! Can't recommend the asada tacos enough, the rice was delicious beans were okay! Definitely a nice hidden little gem of a spot

    When a friend recommends a local spot for tacos, I have to check it out. And I couldn't have asked for a better recommendation for tacos that hit the spot! This taco joint is legit--you order at a counter on one side, get your salsa bar fixings, and sit in the very colorful seating area while you wait for them to call out your order! While you wait (it's only a short wait!), you can look around the store area--so many goodies, produce, and meat offerings for you to take your pick from! My favorites are the carne asada and shredded beef tacos--you have the option of corn or flour tortillas (both look bomb!), and then you get to dress them up with anything you'd want from the salsa bar. I didn't get any dessert (so many regrets!), but there are a ton of desserts in the refrigerator in the seating area--flan and chocoflan looked amazing! Overall, what a great spot to check out when you're near Silverthorne!

    Solid food and seems very authentic which was super surprising for the area. Cashier didn't speak english which was fine. I should have brought more cash for this place. The tacos were solid and very filling. The sauce bar is great. It is quite hot inside but there's outside seating. The loaded burrito was a little much and was huge.

    I am a big fan of finding solid food located in Ski towns where it usually is difficult to fan affordable and delicious food. Carniceria La Perla looked to be well liked by the Silverthorne community, so we decided to stop by on our way out of the mountains on a Sunday around noon. There aren't many spots immediately outside the restaurant as it was full when we arrived, but fortunately there are more spots in the nearby shopping area very close that are about a 2-3 minute walk away. The ambiance of the restaurant is exactly what I am looking for when I go to a small Mexican market/eatery - authentic food, music, and decorations throughout the entire restaurant. It feels like you are stepping into a small mom and pop store in Mexico to enjoy some delicious food. I got a couple of tacos, ranging from carne asada, barbacoa, and lengua. For each, taco they do pile the meat on as you can see in the photo, and you can try many different flavors before going back up and ordering more. They also have an extensive sauce bar that you can top your food with - though be warned if you can't handle spice, some of the sauces really do pack a punch in terms of heat! I think my favorite out of the meat options was the barbacoa - really moist, hearty, and comforting to eat on a cold day. I would say in terms of ranking Carniceria La Perla to other local restaurants, you can't get more authentic and tasty food in a mountain ski town. It does lean more pricey (you'll probably spend at least $15 - $20 for a meal here) compared to tacos I've had at other similar establishments, but I understand that they need to charge what they charge to make a living here in expensive Silverthorne. I would definitely come back in the future to try the other options they have to offer!

    I thought I was in Mexico. The restaurant/grocery store is a hole-in the-wall. It's a little dirty. Isles are stuffed with random food items. Pinatas are hanging from the walls. There are piles of Mexican candies cluttering the counters. The guy in line in front of me ordered 10 dozen corn tortillas and told me it was "durante la semana." But... The food is authentic and outstanding. The staff are very friendly. Its noisy, busy, and a bit chaotic with ten people behind a quasi butcher counter taking orders, cleaning, prepping, and cooking. It's the best Mexican "taco shop" food I've had in Colorado. I highly recommend stopping in for a bite and the experience.

    Tortilla chips

    The food is INCREDIBLE and the sweetest humans work here!! I ordered their Carne Asada SMOTHERED burrito... wouldn't be my typical order at a Mexican Restaurant but i will dream about this burrito daily until I get it again. I was craving tortilla chips to pair with it, and they don't typically serve them but the sweet man made them fresh just for us 10/10 service + food

    Carne asado burriot

    Authentic Mexican flavor in Silverthorne. 1/2 restaurant 1/2 grocery store. Haven't have such good taco or burrito since LA. Tacos asado, pork and lengua were great. Asado burrito was good and massive. Props to the salsa station. We were the only non Mexicans here, and Spanish is the language here. This is the type of food I enjoy, my dinner mate was very impressed. Support your local small businesses!

    Such a great Mexican restaurant! Been here twice and both times haven't let me down. Got the carne asada smothered burrito this time and loved the steak in this! I love the salsa bar here - they have salsa for everyone! Their pickled onions and jalapeños were my favorite. This restaurant is attached to a market where you can go shopping for hispanic ingredients, snacks, and pastries. Got flan on my way out and it didn't disappoint! Cannot recommend this place enough if you're in the area or heading back from the slopes!

    Carne Asada Tacos, Beef & Cheese Burrito, and Guacamole

    Authentic. Delicious. Quick. We were passing through and wanted some good Mexican food. It's a half grocery store, half restaurant. Everyone is super nice. 10/10 I will definitely be back.

    Yummy Salsa Bar.

    I feel at home here. That is my Texas home, Houston. I am reminded of early places like Fiesta on North Shepherd, Airline foodie joints and Ninfa's on Navigation. All with the vibe of authentic Tex-mex and a smile. Gringos get the up and down look, but I so not blame them. My heart breaks with the lose of many.

    Truly authentic Mexican food! Highly recommend the tacos, specifically the Barbacoa and steak! Salsa bar is available with different levels of spice, and vegetables. Staff was very friendly and food was made fast! Everything was warm and flavorful. When you're done eating, you can walk to the other side and embrace a little bit of Mexico, shop for your favorite Mexican cooking items and treats/ candy! Highly recommend!

    See all

    Pork burrito was delicious, the green guacamole sauce is bomb. Worth the drive out of town a little ways.
