    Tacos!
    Marc P.

    What a great place to stop for lunch! There wasn't anyplace to pull over in Klamath Falls in the RV so we forged on to Merrill to have lunch! I'm always a sucker for some street tacos and boy we're they good! Don't hesitate to stop here if you're hungry for some good Mexican food!

    We stopped in both ways to and from Reno. It's the perfect stop after many long hours on the road. Casa Villanueva is perfect in every way. The chimichanga was massive and the best I've ever had. The horchata was a delight and the service was great! The little building is so quaint. It's like a little oasis in this small town. It truly was a delight to stop here along our road trip. I don't think I'll ever be back but if I get hankering to hit the road to Reno ever again, I'll be sure to visit!

    We were in the area touring Lava Beds and staying at the Winema Lodge. With the restaurant selection being one of two bland American diners, we decided to drive north to Merrill for some Mexican food. Boy it sure hit the spot after a whole day of exploring lava tubes! The atmosphere was casual and the service was good. We got tacos, enchiladas, and Steak a la Mexicana. Everything was tasty and authentic. I'd definitely recommend it!!

    Phenomenal food at reasonable prices -- this has become our new go-to. The champechana is nothing short of magnificent!

    Disappointed. Food reminded me of frozen dinners. Might try it again is we're in town.

    An excellent place in a small town. Good menu and they freely adjusted something for my wife. It was warm on a really cold day.

    My partner and I wanted a quick and delicious dinner with the kids after a long day of snow…read moresledding. Tried two other places in downtown Shasta but both were packed and we did not want to wait - glad we did not! La Perla is adjacent to a bar and has an old school vibe. The decor is diner-esque but interesting. They offer self-serve chips, salsa and soft drinks (the latter for a price). Food portions are generous and very tasty, we all loved our food. My partner had a jalapeño margarita which was extraordinary. Cherry on top was our amazing server - she was extremely nice, prompt and accommodating. A pleasure all around. Highly recommended!

    I've learned to not trust Yelp for business info, but then again, sometimes a business's website is…read morewrong too. We wanted to make reservations for dinner on a Thursday but no one answered the phone. We decided to head over to the restaurant a few minutes before we planned to dine with friends only to discover they weren't open and a hand lettered writing on the door said they were closed Thursdays and Sundays. We did return the next evening, now knowing that they would be open on Friday. The restaurant shares an entryway with a popular bar. It was amusing watching people enter the main door and then turn one way or the other to enter a business, only to realize they want the other door. I saw a few families with little kids start towards the bar and then turn to the restaurant. Groups in motorcycle jackets did the reverse. A signboard at the entrance to the restaurant invites customers to choose a table and then help themselves to chips and salsa. My husband and I split an entrée and it was more then enough for the both of us. Portion sizes are generous. The food was very good. Much better than Casa Ramos or Puerto Vallarta. If you want Mexican food in Mount Shasta, stay away from those chains and go to La Perla for a much better meal at reasonable prices to boot. We enjoyed the background music, with songs from the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, The Proclaimers.
