    Michelada on a lovely Sunday evenings at la Perla del Pacifico

    Let's start with drinks I've been here several times and I've never been disappointed from the customer service to the food and the ambiance. I appreciate the patio and all its benefits, they have a perfect photo worthy wall for a perfect golden hour insta pic. I recommend this place to those wanting to dive into a wide range of flavors. Let food bring you closer to someone's culture.

    Great burritos and a highly diverse menu. I drive by here all the time and smell the chicken grilling on the mesquite coals in the back. Intoxicating. I decided to stop by on a Wednesday to pick up some burritos: 2 x regular carnitas and 2 x regular carne asada. I opted to leave out the lettuce which, in my opinion, is recommend. These large, dense tubes of flavor were delicious. They don't skimp on the ingredients and the flavor balance and ratio between rice, beans, cheese, salsa, and meat was perfect. I think they also throw the whole thing on the flattop to crisp up the tortilla just before service. Perfect..... Cost was $8.49 each and noticing that they offer a special on Thursdays for the same burrito but only for $6.49, I went back the very next day and ordered it all over again! Tortilla chips are extra which is sort of a bummer but these burritos are so heavy that you really don't need any accoutrements. The restaurants's name implies that they also serve sea food dishes. The menu has a host of options including some killer looking ceviche tostadas. I want to try them eventually. My bad on not taking a picture of the actual burritos. My family set upon them like dogs and finished them before I could even think of grabbing a camera. Darn it... Why didn't I get the shrimp tostadas???? Next time.... Service was excellent. They are all very nice and the lady that runs the kitchen knows what she's doing. The restaurant is very clean and is large enough for groups. I like to support small businesses in my area and this is one that I highly recommend. The neighborhood is classic Oakland. The Hells Angles clubhouse is right down the street and it's really close to international Blvd. Oh and do yourself a favor and lock your valuables in the trunk of your car. I'm just saying....

    Food was delicious, my michelada was a good size but underwhelming, we went a little late around 9pm, so it seemed as though they turned the inside into a "nightclub" so we had to be seated outside, it was a little cold and no outside heaters but luckily we were dressed warm enough. The service was meh, our waitress was very nice but we felt rushed to order and once we got our food we didn't see the waitress nearly at all. I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you see anyone with a a toddler please, please, please, just put a stack of napkins on the table. Tip for coming here order everything at once, and ask for everything you might need, (as you can see in photos, nothing on table, stayed that way even after we got our food had to wait like 10 minutes to get tableware) maybe leave kiddos at home, even though my 19 month old ate a little bit of everything off everyones plate (she thoroughly enjoyed the food). So even though food was great and our waitress was nice the service dropped it down to three stars.

    So good a must try

    I'm in shock I've driven by many times but never stopped because parking but this time I stopped what a treat the food is amazing service was excellent and the margarita hit the spot definitely worth giving this place a try if you like homemade tortillas and good Mexican food I will be coming back when I want that real deal trust me it's worth a visit I promise Thank you for the great lunch

    Dinner is served!

    Dining in their outdoor seating area Saturday night. We are socially distant from the other customers and the food is delicious. Servers are wearing masks, they have hand sanitizer at the door and most of the meals come in take out containers now. Still just as yummy!

    Very clean! Nice little private area(outdoor of course) the appetizers were bomb and the food was also super good although forgot to take a pic but we had the shrimp empanadas,steak with shrimp and molcajete de carnes. Food is very authentic like even the beans n rice were good like not canned stuff mixed in it Customer service was also great so we will definitely have to come here again it was like a little trip to the Mexican coast

    We were dying of hunger and wanted to eat seafood so we decided to popped in.We were immediately greeted and seated.The service was excellent and the food was very delicious.I will also be adding this place to my list and will definitely be coming back!!

    Great food great drinks and great service! La michelada Patrona was not your average michelada it was huge me and my husband barely finished it it was not overpowered by clamato like most it was perfect. We also had the botana especial de la casa estilo reyes it was delish i will definately return to try their cazuela and aguachile great service glad to nd my new favorite place.

The background music was kept at a perfect volume, making the overall atmosphere very comfortable and relaxing. For the complimentary side dishes (banchan), they were excellent! My personal favorites were the pumpkin potato and the eggplant. You can tell they put a lot of heart into the preparation, especially with the pumpkin side dish--it's a very nice touch. I ordered the combo soup and the LA Galbi: Combo Soup: I love that you can adjust the saltiness to your own preference. However, I felt the beef tendon could have been stewed just a bit longer to achieve a softer texture. LA Galbi: The flavor profile was spot on! It had a nice char on the surface. That said, the meat and tendons were a bit tough, so it might need a slight adjustment in cooking time (either stewed or grilled just a little longer) to make it more tender. A special shoutout to our server, Daniel! He was extremely attentive, checked on us very frequently to refill our side dishes, and always made sure everything was going great. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience with fantastic service and environment. With a tiny adjustment to the meat textures, this place would be absolute perfection. Definitely worth a visit!

But I was able to see why she moved me. At this time (late morning) there was a family sitting next to me. They ended up leaving bc the restaurant had no dungeons crab! They were rather upset. Understandably. I ordered Lady Dubs Special (cajun) with the flat bread, added sausage and a side of garlic noodles. This was more than enough to feed 1 person. And the sauce is flavorful. Nice and thick, just the way I like it. 10/10!! I've had several seafood boils and this one is the best so far!! It also affordable.

    Was gifted a gift card here - we decided to try this spot out on a warm Saturday afternoon. Located…read moreright near the water in Jack London Square. Parking is a bit difficult but we managed to find street parking a block away. Wasn't too crowded and there was plenty of seating inside. You order first and you find a table to sit, and they bring out the food to you. Self serve water is available. The food came out pretty quick! Thoughts: - Lobster roll (classic) was delicious! Generous amount of lobster. Would definitely get this again. Chips weren't too great though. - Fried shrimp basket was nice. Shrimp was crispy and tasty. Fries were also very crispy and flavorful. The sauces go well with the shrimp/fries. Coleslaw isn't the best though. - The crab nachos were surprisingly good. A nice cheese sauce combo with pico/avocado crema and a good amount of crab. - Garlic noodles were fine, nothing standout about them. - Mix and match basket with catfish, cod, and calamari (not pictured): Catfish was solid (would highly recommend, one of the favorites of the meal!), but would pass on the cod and calamari - a bit dry/fishy. Would recommend for a casual spot for seafood and a nice view!

    First off, this place is one the water on Jack London Square - which is pretty much in a death…read morespiral. The once thriving and bustling go-to spot is a mere shadow of what it once was. Anyone remember the Jack London Village that they tore down to build this end of the development? Anyways - this is a fast casual type spot, where you order from the counter, place the little number sign on your table and wait for it to be delivered. The menu is your standard seafood joint by the water type, with all the usual suspects represented. Fried fish, shrimp, chowder, seafood pastas--if you've ever been to a seaside seafood joint, chances are good that the menu here is exactly like the one you remember seeing at the countless other places like this one. I noticed right off the bat that their pricing structure was on the high side - with a $17 burger and fries option, with the bulk of the fried seafood options in the $22-25 range. A cheaper choice might be the $16 fish tacos (two of them) but I kind of draw the line at paying $8 for a single taco. Our table ordered a few of the fried options plus a few soda beverages. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, and I noticed that the silver metal trays that the food comes on is a bit on the small side, especially considering the prices for each dish. The fried shrimp dish was a big scoop of mega-salty french fries, and 3 average sized deep fried shrimp. Yes - 3 as in 1, 2, 3. That's what - $7+ a shrimp? The two fried fish platters weren't much better portion-wise. My deep fried cod consisted of three modest sized fish-fingers, and not the single luscious chunk of perfectly fried cod I had imagined in my head when ordering. They were fine - but very average and nothing that stood out as life-changing or something to write home about. As mentioned earlier, they must be employing the Little Rascals method where they over salt everything, in hopes that you'll order another beverage to wash down the copious mounts of sodium (I figure about 4+ days worth). The fried catfish platter that rounded out our order was more of the same - thin meager portions of fish on a large bed of mega-salted fries. Small plastic containers of generic pre-made tartar sauce and coleslaw can with each platter. The coleslaw was fine - just very forgettable and perhaps a tad on the flavorless/watery side. All said, was it okay? Yes. Was it anything outstanding that I'd crave and plan my return to have again? No. It is in line with touristy by-the-Sea seafood places that charge an extra couple of bucks because they're "on the water"? Pretty much. You're paying for the view and the 'scene' of sitting on the patio out front to people watch, and not for the food. I kind of hate these places and normally try my best to stay away from them, but every once in awhile, you gotta put on your tourist hat and join the mindless flock. A meager 2 stars outta 5 from me. Instead, I'd stroll around this area on a Sunday when they hold the farmer's market (again - is not what it used to be) and then drive through the tube to Alameda where great dining spots are numerous on Park Street. You can stop at Crab Cove and Crown Beach on the way, for more touristy sightseeing.

I really like how they let you build your seafood experience exactly how you want it, from the type of seafood to the seasoning and spice level. The only thing was I think the spice level could've been kicked up a notch. Our table ordered a mix of oysters, garlic noodles, Cajun fries, shrimp, crawfish, mussels, which came with corn, potatoes, sausage and hard boiled egg! The seafood was fresh and the sauce coated everything nicely without being overwhelmingly salty, and the corn and potatoes soaked up all the seasoning. All for a very reasonable price if you get the combo, which comes in 3 different tiers! The oysters were a standout--fresh, briny & I loved all the different sauces like horse radish and cocktail on the side. I do wish the fries were a bit more crispy and could've gone heavier with the Cajun seasoning, but that's personal preference. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and perfect for big groups.

If the restaurant serves frozen crawfish, that's fine, but customers should be given accurate information when they ask directly about the product right? I feel misled because I relied on what I was told when making my purchase. Transparency is important, and I hope the restaurant does a better job communicating with customers about whether their crawfish are live or previously frozen. VERY DISHONEST BUSINESS SMH.
