    I mainly liked the orange because that has a bit of spice   Get lots of lime
    Carmen C.

    The food was delicious the salsa was not spicy lol You would think the orange salsa would be but unfortunately that's the only one I liked I usually go for the green salsa usually salsa verde or salsa verde with avacado mixed in but the day I went wasn't that delicious The chips are kinda chewy thin but not crispy all the way but they literally only give you a small tray full so like maybe a handful of chips I got the birria taco Get that Open it up Dip chips with salsa and put little morsels of birria meat on the chip and eat til the chips are gone and then eat the taco shell with the meat and cheese

    Super Al pastor burrito
    James H.

    First time at La Perla and you order at the counter. The service was ok from the man behind counter. I liked the Al pastor burrito, good flavors and filling. The waffle fries could have had more fries for the price. Salsa bar on the side. Tables along the window. Card/cash accepted Small parking lot

    California Burrito
    Marcus F.

    Full disclosure: I have never had any other Latin food int he Pacifica area, but for my first time trying it around here, I found a decent spot in La Perla! Right from the start, the service was great. I was greeted and when in need of extra time, the cashier was super patient. Service Grade: A I felt that there were a lot of food options and the food came out in a timely manner. I was with my daughter so I ordered myself a California Burrito with shredded beef (Birria de Res) and 4 tacos (2 steak, 1 chicken, and 1 pastor) to share with my little one. The food was flavorful and the burrito was a generous size. California burritos do not come with rice or beans, but rather, French fries. The French fries didn't seem fresh was my only minus for this place, but otherwise, the food was great! Food Grade: A- If I could give this place a 4.5, I would. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at La Perla and would come again when in the Pacifica area!

    Nachos waffle fries with grilled chicken
    Janice A.

    Haven't been here in years but came back to see why we haven't been here in years. Food was good. Meats had good flavor. Waffle fries got hit with shrinkflation. I recall the portion being so much bigger before, (not like I could finish either portion). Ordered a large horchata which was a yes for me. Not watered down, had good flavor. Their mole sauce was also really good. Didn't have that typical dark bitter sauce. It was pretty tasty. Workers were very friendly and eager to take our order. Seating is a tad odd since it's all hugged against the wall, but place is clean. Small parking lot that shares with multiple places however only 1 other restaurant lives there which is an Indian restaurant. Would def come back.

    La Perla Michelada. The shrimp are a must, but ask for them grilled in the sauce. Much tastier!

    Team Perla is always welcoming and food comes out quick. I love the fact it's 5 minutes from mi casa. Get yourself some tacos or a burrito, walk two blocks and enjoy your food watching waves or a few paragliding folks in the air. Either way, food won't disappoint!

    Super Burrito
    Janine F.

    I've been coming to La Perla for years and I'm always so happy with the service and quality of food! My go-to order is a steak super burrito, churros and a horchata or mandarin jarrito. The super burrito hits the spot every single time!!! The churros are so slept on. The filling in the middle is delicious and it's always served piping hot. The horchata is the perfect amount of sweetness. They offer chips whether you dine in or take your food to go. Will continue going to La Perla for many years to come!

    Ceviche tostada - fresh and delicious
    Lana C.

    Came here on. Sunday afternoon for a quick lunch. Order was taken right away and we were enjoying our selection within a few minutes. Food was hot and delicious. They have a help yourself salsa bar that also had pickled vegetables, radishes and jalapeños. Food was yummy and decently priced. Service was good and place was clean. This is our go-to Mexican place near our home. We have never been disappointed. Do recommended and will be back.

    Burnt pieces throughout my burrito..Kept eating hoping it was only a few pieces..

    Did you guys get a new chef or whoever puts them together ? Burritos are not what they were a month ago.…

    Hello, good morning. Could you tell me why they're not the same? When did something go wrong with your burrito? What did you notice differently? Your feedback would be a great help for us to continue improving. Thank you.

    Do they use lard at all?

    Hi, we do not use lard

    Are the enchiladas made with corn or flour tortillas?

    Corn.

    Are vegan options available?

    Just called to ask the same thing. Only the beans are vegan the rice has chicken broth so you could get a burrito with beans avo and pico and it would be vegan

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

Like not even ranch, salsa & dipping in chicken broth when I got home could aide in the quality of their carne asada. Upon trying their Lengua & chicken, not much better. I had an indigestible HARD piece of something (plastic?) in my burrito once. It's not like I just gave this taqueria a one and done review, I've been a customer since 2015. And let me tell you, 2015-2022 they were banger!! Salsa bar was amazing. Now I'm pretty sure they charge you per salsa container. I'm sure my nostalgia plays a part in this low rating but Taqueria Pacifica doesn't stand out the same way El Grano De Oro did... Too bad. Service is standard. Nothing special. Food is ready relatively quick, so if you order to-go... get there early! The ambiance is very much a to-go vibe even though there is a plethora of indoor seating as well as a picnic table for seating outside. Tacos are pretty good here, but I did find bits of shrimp in my al pastor! I don't think I'll be coming back here unless I need to refill my water bottle.

However, slowly but surely the portions and the size of the burritos are getting smaller and smaller. I hope this doesn't lead to a price increase, as this is the pattern I've seen in other restaurants.

    I didn't plan on having a life-altering taqueria encouter in San Bruno, but here we are…read more I walked into Taqueria San Bruno on a simple mission: eat something good, move on with my day, maybe feel mildly satisfied. Instead, I walked straight into the orbit of the Quesabirria. It starts innocently enough. You order. You wait. You think you understand what's coming. And then a plate shows up that immediately makes you question whether you've been underestimating lunch your entire life. The quesabirria arrives looking like it knows something you don't. Crisped tortillas, edges kissed with oil and spice, cheese doing that molten, slightly dramatic stretch like it's auditioning for a food commercial nobody told you you were in. And tucked inside--slow-braised beef that tastes like it's been patiently becoming itself for hours. Then comes the consommé. This is where things stop being casual. Because the first dip is not a bite, it's a decision. Suddenly you're in it. The broth is rich and deep and slightly mischievous, like it's encouraging you to ignore your responsibilities and "just have one more." The tacos don't fight it--they just collapse gently into flavor, like they were always meant to be there. At some point, I lost track of whether I was eating quickly or the food was disappearing on its own. Time gets a little elastic when everything tastes this intentional. One minute you're a reasonable adult having lunch in San Bruno, the next you're guarding your last taco like it's something sacred. What's wild is how unbothered the whole place is about how good this is. No theatrics, no fanfare--just a steady stream of people quietly meeting their destiny with melted cheese and chili-kissed broth. By the end, I wasn't full so much as slightly transformed. Like I had learned something important, but couldn't explain it out loud without sounding unhinged. San Bruno has plenty of places to eat. This is one of the few that feels like it's gently rearranging your standards while you're not looking. I will absolutely be back. Probably sooner than I'll admit publicly. Come hungry and Go Big!!!
