Just had breakfast here. I ordered the red chilaquiles with eggs rice and beans. I can tell you I'm glad I found this little gem. The chilaquiles were a little spicy but very delicious. The rice and beans were BOMB! Maria truly cooks like home. She knew exactly how I like my chilaquiles. So if you don't mind a little spice then you'll love her chilaquiles. I totally come back. read more

La Perla Tapatia - Mexican Near Me - La Habra, California

Great food, good tacos!! My boyfriend said the pozole was one of the best. I love that they serve their sodas in a mason jar too.... a nice big fat one, so you get a lot! Although my favorite is their tacos, the torta and the chilaquiles are also a couple things worth trying. Prices are definitely worth it and the chips and salsa are pretty delicious. We've only stopped by on a few random occasions and the food has been EXCELLENT each time. But we have taken it off our options because those ladies behind the counter (one is the owner too, I believe) are just totally rude and obvious about it. We don't want to stop you from going, and if you don't mind being treated like you are an inconvenience, the food is very much worth it. We won't be back. read more

The birria is delicious I just wish they would close later. Customer service is okay read more

This little spot has a few things going for it. The food is pretty much homemade quality. You want to taste something that abuela would of cooked up, the pick anything here. I've been here several times and never have walked away disappointed. Now for the challenges facing this place. CASH ONLY! Nowadays, this should not be happening. Secondly, there's no pride by ownership in the appearance of the place. The tables and chairs are authentically Mexican, but that's about it. The pictures for the menu are faded and the prices are not listed. Several add-ons are hand written as well. If ownership would invest in making the presentation more appealing, I guarantee it would help. The food won't disappoint, but the overall dining experience can certainly be improved. read more

La mejor torta ahogada que he probado en California (Ni Montebello, Ni Anaheim, ni Fontana, ni Chino, ni San Diego se comparan). Birote pre-calemtado en horno, la salsa picosa y sabrosa, la cebolla fresca y en su punto. Muy amable la dueña, es un restaurante familiar de clientes. Primera visita de muchas l, hay mas cosas en el menú que quiero probar. read more

I highly recommend this place! The food taste like home food. I've been here multiple times for breakfast and lunch, never been disappointed. Some chilaquiles and a hot coffee for breakfast is my favorite. The service is outstanding! I definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

Finally I get to eat a great torta ahogada, the torta was superb, the crunchiness of the bread, plus the flavorful salsa combined all together was amazing. I also tried the tacos dorados, they were extremely delicious and a Jericalla for desert, my meal was completely satisfying. read more

I have been craving for real Mexican food and finally I found a good place near to me. It really reminds me the flavor from Guadalajara's food, the salsa for torta ahogada is very delicious, for sure I'm coming back ! read more

Okay I've been here several times hoping customer service will improve, the food is great but man the service stinks! The lady who takes orders is so rude, lady seems like she's miserable. I don't understand how we're in 2020 and it's still CASH ONLY! The owner/cook needs to invest en menus, the pictures are all faded lol. Don't expect a receipt either, they charge u what ever they want. Again the food is great though, hope this review helped read more

This place caught my eye on the way to Target- I've eaten at Jojo's and never noticed this place. three Carnitas tacos delicious and enough food add in Chile relleno- my true quality test and I've had too much food. Throw in some chips with flaming hot salsa that pretends to be mild and I had way too much. I will come back and try to help keep this place in business, because I love La Habra! I have to ask anybody who might read this. I use the term Barbacoa, because my favorite joint in Costa Mesa uses that term and it is used to denote shredded beef that has been soaking all day in like a red bbq sauce of some type. Often when I use this term people working behind the counter look at me as if I am speaking chinese- not just poorly executed spanish... What's up with the Barbacoa... read more

Walked in one morning for breakfast and asked if we may sit at a table as the lady of the restaurant attended to a table of gentlemen. It seemed odd that after about 5 minutes or more no one had come to our table. A new customer walked in and was attended before us, and was taken their order immediately. We then spoke up to give our order politely, when we asked for coffee the lady of the restaurant rudely complained out loud that now she would have to make coffee. At this point I asked my wife for us to leave. For no one to ever come to our table, serving arriving customers ahead of us and even complaining to doing their service. It will not surprise me to see this business disappear with the lack of simple customer service. It would be a shame since the food does look good, but it is more than obvious that customers are not welcomed here. read more

Food is great but is overpriced I was trying to help local restaurants but I won't be back to this place , (please ask prices before you order )I was there 3 weeks before. And I pay less $$ read more

The cook/owner I assume is super rude! I couldn't eat the food it hurt my stomach almost instantly. I hardly ate anything returned the food she said I ate all the eggs and only gave me half my.money back. Do not come here. It's not worth it. They over charge like crazy. 5$ for a drink.... sometimes having good customer service is better than having good food. Your food better be bomb.com.to be rude even then I won't come back!!! read more

La Perla Tapatia - Not worth the 10.99$ sorry... - Mexican Near Me - La Habra, California

Tortas ahogadas are the go to but everything is made so fresh u really can't go wrong u can just tell when something is done fresh and on the spot read more

Kat J. I was just there when you stormed out. I happened to be eating the exact same thing. Yes it was spicy, you managed to eat half the plate anyway. When you complained you did so by saying you were not going to pay for your food. Owner charged you $2.50 for the eggs and $3.50 for your drink, wich was all gone I may add. This is a mom and pop establishment(mostly mom). Same person that takes your order, cooks it and brings it to your table. I for one enjoyed my food and will definitely be back. If you want a home cooked meal (attitude and all) this is the spot for you. For all others (Kat J) may I recomemd El Torito. read more

I can recommend two places in La Habra it is La Perla Tapatia and G Burger This place is great. Menudo on Sunday is awesome. I have enjoyed everything i have had here. Agua frescas are made like you would expect home made and amazing. I have had them cater my sons Birthday and Baptism. Great service and very home feeling. Awesome job here read more

La Perla Tapatia - Torta ahogada lets try it - Mexican Near Me - La Habra, California

I don't know why I never tried this place before. I love it. The huevos rancheros was good, and the chips and salsa are also good. Prices are not high, and it's very convenient. This is my new place for brunch. I'll have to try the burritos and quesadillas too. But they don't accept credit cards so bring cash. read more

My mom has been bringing me menudo from La Perla since I was a kid. So had my grandmother. It's really great tasting and is my favorite menudo in all of La Habra. Great place. Restaurant feels like a home and you're quickly seated. Great place for authentic mexican food. 10/5 stars from me if I could. read more

I really wanted to rate this place higher. My husband saw the sign for $4.99 chilaquiles on Tuesdays and told me about it because he knows I love chilaquiles. They open at 9 so keep that in mind because I tried to call ahead at 8 something, but they didn't answer. I called at 9 and did a pick up order and my food was ready when I got there. You can tell it is a family run business because when I got there the place was full, but they seemed to be all family members. When I got back to work and opened the box, I was sad to see that there were NO EGGS on the chilaquiles! Not sure if this was a mistake or because it was the $4.99 special but I was SO BUMMED! The flavor in the chilaquiles was so good, but it's not the same without eggs. So check your food before you leave if you get it to go or ask questions if you're going to take advantage of any of their specials. read more

If you are from Guadalajara and are looking for authentic TORTAS AHOGADAS look no further, the bread, meat and hot sauce are the best.
