The food is good and it often has live music. It's also a good place if you want to watch sports on television. Wednesday they feature Chile Rellenos, the entree by which I judge Mexican restaurants. It was very good; not too heavy and in a good mild sauce. read more

We love The Pearl for a beachside lunch, day drinking, or even for dinner. Since this is just a short beach walk from our hotel we always plan a visit or two. On this trip we stopped by an afternoon snack and a couple of cocktails (of course). The Pearl has a large beachside patio and a restaurant with a full bar. Classic rock is always playing at the bar and they will set up a large screen TV for you if you wish to watch a game. You can easily split their Apps and entrees. The seafood ceviche is one of our favorites. Prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. You will see your favorite server year after year as there is minimal turnover. The vibe here is laid back, very laid back. On this visit we arrived in our swim suits and I was sans shirt. No shirt no shoes no problem here! As a bonus they do accept CCs for payment. read more

Is it the greatest restaurant on La Ropa? No, but if you want to dine with your feet in the sand and for 100 0esos get personally serenaded by the musician with the lights of downtown Zhiua, yes, it is that place. Salads are ample. Food is good. No disappointments. At all. read more

The restaurant has a great location, which seems to be what you're really paying for. Unfortunately, the customer service was not good, the waiters seemed to be in a bad mood and not very attentive. The food was okay, but nothing special for the price. Overall, aside from the location, it wasn't a great experience and not a place I'd be eager to return to. Ps They also charge an extra 10 pesos for a to-go plate. read more

This is a nice lunch spot on the beach. The food was nothing fancy but the location and views are great. It was nice having lunch with our toes in the sand overlooking the water. I really wanted a quesadilla and it wasn't on the menu but the server was nice enough to accommodate me and they made a meal for me. Enchiladas verdes, a quesadilla meal and a side of beans was 230 pesos. We didn't try any drinks. This is a very large restaurant and you can sit either inside or outside in the sand. Bathrooms were clean. Cons: a lot of people walking up trying to sell you souvenirs or sell you services like mariachi, spa services etc. A simple no gracias works but you'll have to say it at least 20 times. read more

One of my favorite spots for any meal. We also caught some great sunsets there too. Had a massage and the beach and ended with a delightful coconut drink! read more

It's really a question of whether you want to sit inside or outside. The place is hopping, with locals and tourists in equal measures. Outside is more beach vibe, tourist-focused, busy. But inside... muy bueno! This is the quintessential Mexican bar. It's exactly what I had in mind when I wanted to come here. I had a beer with lime, salt, and a lingering smile for only $3. It feels like the sort of place that has seen everything. Now I want it to see more of me. read more

The food and view was excellent! When we got there, there were only tables inside but Fernando our waiter literally picked up a table and sat us in front of the beach! I had a filet with shrimp and it was very flavorful! At the end of our evening, Fernando remembered our names which says something about his attention to detail! We will be back! read more

We went to La Perla on a hot Sunday morning for Melissa K. and Kevin L.'s post-wedding brunch. It was the perfect venue for this meal, when a large percentage of attendees were hung over from a late night of drinking and dancing. The restaurant was covered but outdoors, a patio spot right on the beach. The vibe was calm and relaxing, the buffet service friendly and easy. I piled a lot of stuff onto my plate that I don't necessarily remember, but I know there were some tasty chilaquiles and other things with eggs and roasted vegetables. There was also a very mysterious lasagna-looking thing that did in fact turn out to be a lasagna of some kind. What made the biggest impression, though, was the incredibly sweet, juicy mango. It looked amazing, and when I got to the buffet and it was out, I asked about it and the staff brought the new platter to my table as soon as it arrived. Some of the best fruit I've had in recent memory. I also enjoyed the fresh orange juice. I don't know what La Perla is like for other meals, but I'd highly recommend it if you're looking to serve a casual buffet brunch to a whole lot of people. It was a great place to wrap up a lovely, eventful wedding weekend. read more

This was the best food I had during my trip to Zihuatanejo! It is a wonderful gem right along La Playa Ropa with beautiful beach views. I had an octopus dish that was delicious and a strawberry margaritas that absolutely hit the spot. read more

Our home kitchen. The best ambiance, food and service ever. Service staff are true professionals.

We had a pretty bad experience at LaPerla here in Zihuatanejo. Our server was surly, kept trying to almost bully us ( two mature women) into buying more than we wanted.. guacamole, the most expensive items on the menu, and so on. We both ordered the fish with garlic sauce and we were told that the fish was Mahi-mahI. Sounds yummy doesn't it? What we were served was a 1/4 inch thick piece of fish ( I believe) that was as tough as shoe leather and was certainly not Mahi-mahI. Surly waiter, icky food.. there's a lot of great seafood being served here on LaRopa Beach and we will not be going back to LaPerla. read more

We are staying in Los Troncones but we wanted to explore the Zihuatanejo area. We were looking for a place near the beach plus we are vegetarians and Gluten Free. We walked along Playa de la Ropa and stumbled onto La Perla What a Jewel. We had the sopes, fajitas and enchiladas. The tortillas are hand made beans and rice are delicious. The best part is we met Don Francisco part of the family that owns the restaurant. He introduced us to some of his Artesenal Mescals. Try the Cupreata artesenal; it's like butta. Beside the beach front setting, it's a great atmosphere. read more

If you are on La Ropa, La Perla is an ok spot to stop and get some lunch. Came into La Perla and we took a table. Our server was by shortly with menus, and ask us about drinks. We ordered up a couple of cervezas. We decided to go with the fish tacos, fried tortilla shell with beans and chicken. Our food came out quite quickly. One of the fish tacos had fish that was a bit off. My wife had ordered the fried tortilla shell and all of hers were very good. I had also orders some rice, which was ok. Nothing overly fabulous. Once we were finished, We asked our server for our bill. He came past us several times to get the order from an adjacent table, deliver food, etc. No bill. We had to flag the guy again, and ask again. He apologized but still didn't bring the bill. We waited longer for our bill than what it took to order, get our food and eat. Overall, I don't think there are any restaurants on La Ropa that are going to be that great. They have a fairly captive audience. The food was average and the service was just slow. Considering the relatively few people in the restaurant. If all you care about is having a cerveza and looking at the ocean, then this is your place. Might want to do a pass on the food. read more

The margaritas are good and the beer is cold, but the food was extremely bland. I have to imagine that appeals to the typical American/Canadian tourists just fine, but not to me. If you're looking for authentic and flavorful food, this is not the place. read more

I guess this place is living on its history and reputation. We had the ceviche mixtos and the guacamole as a Miranda. Both were disappointing. I've only had one ceviche like food so far in Zihuatanejo that was actually good. That was the tiritas at Chendo's. The one here at La Perla was leaning towards scary bad, particularly the octopus. The guacamole had good texture and quantity but very little taste even when we loaded it up with the salsa they served it with. Same with the tortilla chips. Nice texture but no taste. Service was good and of course the setting on the beach is fabulous. Just wish the quality of the food matched. I don't understand why places like this allow their food quality to degrade just because they have a nice setting. 3 stars only because of the setting and service. Food is 1 star. read more

My chair and table were in the sand. On the beach. So nothing wrong with this place at all, as far as I'm concerned. Funny and attentive service. Good prices. (Note, if you order a chicken taco, you'll actually get a flour tortilla taquito but still, they were tasty and complemented beer jus' fine.) Drinks served in coconuts. And once you were done, they would hack up your coconut and serve it with fresh salsa for you (!) Volleyball nets were set up for our group and we played until we couldn't see the ball anymore in the waning sunset. Happy life happens here. read more

We only stopped for lunch because we heard great reviews. The beet was cold but the tacos were flour tortillas with no option offered for corn and the meat/fish was so minimal that it was disappointing. Not sure I'd go back after the one experience. read more

Go see Vinnie upstairs at La Perla Spa. You are in for a treat-she is awesome. A private one hour long massage for 300 peso's plus tip. A gentle breeze and ocean waves is all you hear. She knows what she is doing and has been trained. I went every other day for 3 weeks and feel so good. My husband had Danielle who is also spectacular. I can't wait to go back next January. read more

If only rating the Margaritas, La Perla would get five stars = hands down! Ate a breakfast, lunch and dinner there and two of the three were solid Mexican food at reasonable prices. The Huevos Rancheros were runny and bland. The fish tacos were good but I needed to spice up the salsa. The Chile Relenos were a step up from US Mexican food. What pushes this into A-Ok range is the location and sunset views. Servers are attentive and beer is cold. If you want to eat with your feet in the sand, LaPerla is the place! read more

Beware of up-sales and up-charges! Food was good however horrible customer service. We checked our bill to find out that our waiter had charged us 720 mxn pesos for two Cadillac margaritas. Upon our arrival we were recommended these by our waiter. And because these are not on menu, I asked for the price which I was told 175 mxn pesos each. When we confronted the waiter he said they had double shots and thus the "double" price for each. Shady service. Beware!! read more

Loved dining here for our first evening. Great service. Gorgeous view. Yummy food. Definitely will go back.

I thought the entire experience was very personal. The food was good and the service was excellent. We went in the next night and they remembered our names and drinks. The owner Francisco came over and introduced himself with a nice cigar (I purchased) and a drink he recommended. He saw I was watching the MLB playoffs on my phone and immediately had his crew set up a TV for us to watch. Sometimes it pays to just relax and let the place show its true colors and this place did a nice job. Thanks for making us feel like regulars. read more
