Don’t let the modest setting fool you. The food is exceptional. I favor the chipotle fish burrito and it’s one of the best I’ve had. The place is always busy but the wait is never long. The staff are exceptional and be sure to tip them well.

My wife and I are from San Fernando which is just north of Los Angeles. We were on vacation in San Juan Capistrano and we were looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant. I googled Mexican restaurants near us and a few popped up. I looked at the photos and read some of the reviews. We tried a different Mexican restaurant and they were good. A few nights later I wanted Mexican food again that wouldn't put a big dent in my wallet. So my wife and I went for a drive and we were so so happy that we did. My wife had the mole burrito and I got an asada taco and a tripas taco and carnitas taco. My wife loved her mole burrito and I loved my taco's (you can get hard shell taco's if you want) . We asked for the hottest salsa that they had and it was spicy 🔥 and delicious 🤤. Needless to say we got some tacos to go. We were on vacation for another 4 days. The morning that we left to come back home. We decided to stop and get some food for our drive home. I got a carnitas burrito and my wife got her mole burrito and we got some extra spicy salsa. We ate some in traffic on the way home and it made it so much better. If you love authentic Mexican food you have to try this place. You won't be sorry

Perla’s Taqueria is located in a strip shopping center right off Alicia Parkway and near Interstate 5 in Mission Viejo. My review is about their breakfast burrito. As you see in my included photos, this is massive! It has potatoes, cheese, and pico de gallo. I added carne asada. All of this was only $8.95 with the tax. I could only eat half of it, and it kept me full for the morning into the afternoon. I was speaking with Luz, and she told me about their Taco Tuesday specials. They have so many choices for meat, and they are only $1.50 each. I love hole-in-the-wall type of places, and this place is worth checking out.

Looking for a place to crab a Taco, look no further. Perla’s Taqueria is your place to stop. Hubby & I ordered street Tacos. Delicious. Nothing fancy. Just some good home style cooking. So difficult to find a Taco. The flavor here is unbelievable. Oh.... the Salsa is yummy. Fresh. Shout out to Charlie & The Staff Thanks for a good Taco Gene & Teresa Greeley Colorado

Highly recommend the cabeza tacos! Way better tacos than the stand across the street.

Perla’s is a cozy taqueria with a large menu and great bang for your buck! My husband and I stopped by for lunch and ordered with our empty stomachs: ceviche mixto (fish, shrimp, and scallop), fish taco, shrimp taco, California burrito, crispy chicken taco, crispy lengua taco, and a crème-filled churro. We were served complimentary chips and salsa (their spicy salsa was so flavorful)! The ceviche was a standout: super fresh with a generous portion. Some of the tacos were a bit on the dry side and could’ve used more sauce, but the California burrito hit the spot! For what felt like pre-pandemic prices, the amount and quality of food was an excellent value. A salsa bar would’ve really taken things to the next level, but overall, we enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back!

This is my go to place for Taco Tuesday! Their street tacos are only $1.75 and taste very authentic. Their picante salsa is very HOT but tastes great with their complimentary tortilla chips. It’s a hole in the wall restaurant but is very popular!

The food it's okay but you have to be careful what you order, some of the food its expired and you can smell it. The service its okay and they have a very big menu. Its always busy and tables are always dirty.

Overall, my experience at Perla's for Taco Tuesday was just ok not outstanding. The cashiers were friendly, and the $1.75 taco deal was a great value when you're on a pinch. They also provided free chips and salsa. I found the spicy salsa had a good kick while the mild lacked flavor. The tacos were a mixed bag. The shrimp was overcooked and shrunk in size, the lengua and fried fish were just okay, but the al pastor was juicy and flavorful. It was a shining star amongst my plate of tacos. The salsa verde was way too mild for my taste, and the tortillas were chewy and tough. While I had high hopes based on the reviews, I wasn't blown away and may need to give Perla's another chance in the future.

Worst Al pastor tacos we’ve ever had.. the seasoning on the meat was gross and the meat was really mushy. Don’t recommend it at all. NOT AUTHENTIC…

I ordered two burritos and a side of guacamole. The burritos were $9 something each, a lot smaller size. but taste ok, not great. The guacamole is full of onions, tomatoes and cilantro. There is barely any avocado in it. It tasted awful. And the guacamole was $6!!! The total with tax was close to $30. This place is a rip-off.
