    Great brunch spot! They sometimes have a live mariachi band playing! How fun! The service is also good here. The only thing is that there's not too many people in the restaurant, not sure why if the ambiance is nice, food and service are good, and they've got a live band. More people should go!!

    Delicious food, elegant ambiance for special occasions, friendly service (slow but friendly) Went for an early dinner. Shared the fajita ultimo. Big shrimp! Quality food. Didn't care too much for the salsa. Felt it lacked a bit of flavor. Cocktail menu didn't have prices, which bothers me for some reason. There is a happy hour on the bar side if you're interested.

    It's a decent place , but I think food could be better , the ceviche is more like a tuna mix ,,they do have variety but don't spect that wow !!! Staff is very friendly and place is nice , if they can improved food , they could be in the right track

    Hands down best Mexican food in the area. They've recently revamped their menu and it's delicious! Ambiance has always been great, fun spot with live entertainment & great staff. Definitely give it a try'.

    Chicken Pesto with Mashed Potatoes and Veggies (Mother's Day 2024)

    Came here to celebrate Mother's Day with my elderly Mexican mom who loves Mariachi music. I called a few Mexican restaurants to see if they were going to have live mariachi's on Mother's Day and Perla Azul said yes. I quickly made a reservation. They also had a limited special Mother's Day menu for the occasion. The mariachi music was scheduled from noon to 3pm. The food was excellent and the music was wonderful. My mom was so excited when one of the mariachi singers came to our table and sang to her. The hostess was giving moms one red rose as they were seated. The restaurant is super nice is perfect for special occasions and dates. Now to the negative. The restaurant imposed a 90-minute time limit from the time you sat down. However, service was super slow and we waited a long time to get our food and our time limit was wasted because we waited for so long. Granted the music was good but they didn't offer chips and salsa and you had to order those separately. Unfortunately, they were not on the menu so I assumed they were going to bring them. When I finally asked, our food arrived. Once the food arrived, we were pleased with the portions and flavor. My mom loved the rice which was different than the tomato based version. The beans were a bit bland and needed more salt. The enchiladas suizas were flavorful and packed with chicken. The servers did refill our drinks a few times but you could tell they were busy with the other large parties that day. Lastly, they imposed a preset tip for only 3 people. Typically, I've seen the set tip amount for groups of 6 or more and it disappointed me that they did this for our little family. I didn't argue with them since it was Mother's Day and my mom had a good time. Not sure if they do this on non-holiday meals. Just be forewarned about this practice. I do plan to come back on a different day to see if their service is slow and if they add in the tip regardless of service.

    We decided to give this place another try. Upon arriving the place smelled of cleaning products. They place was not too busy but did have a few large parties seated. I got the quesabirria tacos. The tacos themselves were okay but the consome was not it. My bf ordered the shrimp enchiladas and they looked okay. Their horchata and Jamaica is from a fountain and not made in house so I opted for a soft drink. The server was very friendly and attentive.

    Nice place. Nice servers but the food was not all that good. I got quesabirria tacos and they were okay. The highlight to me was the coffee. Place is very pretty but the restroom stink even before u walk in. It's been like that since la Barca . Smells pretty bad

    We had dinner here last night with our kids and some friends (party of 8), and it was our first…read moretime visiting. Even though the restaurant is small and busy, we were seated right away, which was a great start. Our waiter Washington, was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made our whole experience even better. The atmosphere was perfect too. They had music playing at just the right volume and a big TV showing the live Dodger game, which the kids loved. We started with chips and salsa. The salsa had the perfect level of spice for everyone at the table. The kids ordered horchatas and were excited about the unlimited refills (something you don't always see at other restaurants!). The drinks for the adults were just as impressive. My wife's watermelon margarita on the rocks was perfectly made. It was not overly sweet or syrupy like at some places. Our friends had the "El Jefe" margaritas, and they definitely didn't skimp on the tequila! For dinner, everything was a hit. The kids loved their meals. Albóndigas soup, shrimp tacos, and street tacos--all served with rice and beans. The adult dishes were just as good. The carne asada arrachera was cooked perfectly, the chile verde was full of flavor, and my chicken mole was delicious with a great balance of spicy and sweet without being overwhelming. The portions were very generous, and everything came with rice, beans, and both corn and flour tortillas. The only small thing I would've preferred differently was the chicken in my mole. I personally would've liked a leg and thigh instead of sliced chicken breast but the dish was still very good overall. What really stood out was the hospitality. At the end of the meal, Washington offered us "holy water"-house tequila shots on the house--and it wasn't cheap tequila either! Then after the bill came, he surprised us again with another round of "holy water". That level of generosity and care really impressed us. We also learned that the restaurant has been there 20+ years and is family-run by him and his siblings, which made the experience feel even more personal. You can tell they have a loyal customer base--one couple even said, "See you tomorrow Washington!" The only feedback we'd offer (coming from a customer service background) is that we noticed a few guests waiting at the entrance without being greeted, and one couple actually left the restaurant. A simple "Welcome, we'll be right with you" would go a long way. That said, it didn't take away from our experience. Overall, amazing food, great service, generous portions, and a welcoming family atmosphere. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu!

(See attached picture). This restaurant is in such an obscure location, I can't believe I was going to a Burrito Track across the street for so many years not knowing this place existed. Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave. The short answer is I will absolutely go back to this place as long as there is a parking space to be had.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

I'm constantly let down trying yet another taqueria or Mexican food joint only to find the pastor kind of lackluster. That's why Burrito Brothers is such a find. Their pastor burrito was just like I like it--packed with meat, not skimpy with the other add-ons besides rice and beans, and just a plain hefty boy at a decent price. Every bite was a joy, and every joy was one that I wish could last forever. I'm not shy to say that I'm already trying to figure out the next optimum time to get back to this place. The service was great. Everyone was quick and friendly. And they all seemed immensely proud of the business they had built. It was just an easy experience telling them exactly what I wanted and getting my meal squared away. They were even helpful as to the best way to order in my food to go with a call and get it made exactly right. I like the space too. It only fits 16 customers, but that seems more than enough for the amount of dine-in customers it receives. I enjoyed that they catered to solo diners, possessing a long counter space and three-top tables mostly instead of larger seating arrangements for their dining room. To sum up, this place is fantastic and amazing for my favorite of all the burritos after goat. And I can't wait to see how they do with the rest of their eclectic menu like tacos, nachos, and even burgers and hit dogs.
