My husband is from Mexico, so eat at a lot of different Mexican restaurants. The food was okay, the prices were fair, and the owners were friendly. We at there for lunch and dinner while on vacation.

Food was small portion, eatable but was very bland for Mexican food. Didn't really seem authentic: no peppers or jalapeños, no pico de gallo. Salsa was smooth like it had been blended to water status.

I am not a big Mexican restaurant fan. But I know good food when I taste it. This place had good food, not great, but good. Food was well prepared, hot when it came to the table, did not have to wait for the check. Made for a nice meal

We were there on a chilly February evening and the only patrons in the restaurant. We didn’t find exactly what we wanted on the menu but they were happy to provide a customized dinner. The food was excellent. This is a bare bones restaurant, but a good value, with good service and good food.

We ordered in our room since it was cold and foggy out and since they weren't super busy they agreed to deliver our meal. The food was good, not the best Mexican I have ever had but better than most. We would eat with them again.

Everyone has an idea of what good Mexican food is. It was to hot, the sauce on the enchaladas wasn't good. It seems even the tacos weren't good. We never went back.

I discovered Perlita's quite by accident. It's a hole-in-the-wall small place, with seating for maybe 25 max. Very clean and very unexceptional to see. But the FOOD! WOW... this is flat-out the best Mexican food (for the price!) I've ever found. Family owned and operated, the servers are actually cheerful.. Yes, I've had fancier Mexican food... but never as satisfying,... More

This is a very friendly little place to go with the kids, and their prices are very reasonable. If you have little kids with you, this might be a great place to go since you have no danger of your food being spicy or really having any flavor at all; Taco Bell has more seasoning than Perlitas. That being said,... More
