Friendly people and don’t be fooled by the small frontage. Hole in the wall places are the best. I also liked their happy hour menu….I was there for lunch but will be going back for happy hours and dinners😃”

“This was my second time going to Royal Pearl; both times, the main server was very polite and regularly checked in on us. I especially enjoyed today’s visit because he gave great tips on how to mix certain sauces at our table to complement our dishes! Will be recommending to other friends as well :)”

“We saw the sign on the door that said buy 2 for 1 tacos on mon/tues and we had to go in. We ordered 4 tacos in total and an horchata. It was AMAZING! The owner and his family were so nice and friendly, you could tell they have a lot of love for their restaurant. While we were waiting they also gave us a sample of the pozole which was so good, I cant wait to go back to have a big bowl. The sign outside says this location is under new management and these new managers are so kind, I highly recommend this place.”

“New owners who have revamped the place for the better. More lighting, better TV's and sound system. Also, great place to hang on a hot day because of the AC. Great happy hour specials and nice friendly bartenders. The have free food during special events like UFC and Boxing fights. They occasionally have food vendors mostly tacos on certain days. Don't sleep on this place!”

“Delicious ceviche! It was so good, especially served with fresh avocado and a bag of crispy tostadas. The ceviche was amazing and perfect for sharing we ordered the medium tray for $75 and it was more than enough for the family. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the ladies were so friendly and welcoming. I called about an hour ahead, and they prepared everything fresh for us. My family absolutely loved it, and I will definitely be coming back!”
