Don’t bother looking at more restaurants, this is the place you NEED to go to. The tacos are so delicious and flavorful. The salsas are PRIME. All the staff here are so kind, this is undoubtedly one of my favorite restaurants and absolutely my number one for tacos! The flavors are distinct and tasty and man I want more now that I keep talking about em

My daughter & husband recently moved back from Texas, and they were looking for a place for breakfast tacos...this is the place! After watching/listening to LAist, with Austin Cross, and watchinv a live feed on the food,; our plans were set...the next morning(Saturday); we packed up the family and drove an hour to get here. We loved everything! The tacos, the queso, the vibe, the service ...everything was delicious, and affordable, as well. We will definitely be coming back to one of their locations. We all highly recommend this spot, for wonderful food, at a good value point.
Vegetarian options: Potatoe tacos are fire!

The food is more or less. There are a lot of flies outside and inside if you are outside you have to go inside to order because there is no one to take your order outside and well those are their rules that seem silly to me but oh well

I think this restaurant is an excellent addition to the neighborhood. It’s fun and festive. The tacos are delicious, but in the three times I’ve been there so far, they have been served cold. They individually wrapped them in foil and clearly they sit around for a while before they are served. They are also not cheap. But overall it’s a great place for lunch or breakfast.

Great flavor and vibes, a little bit expensive but I guess it’s worth it! The salsa is not spicy at all but does have good flavor (They don’t have free chips)
Must declare that it’s “Tijuana Panther “gluten free” tacos are actually not bc the brisket is made with beer. The explanation I received was that at one time they did tell customers about the change in cooking, but then stopped doing so - that’s egregious- so new customers won’t know? Makes no sense - put up a sign for heavens sake - Very disappointed as we have been long time customers - Oder the salad instead
Dietary restrictions: Ask ask ask about what’s gluten free

The food is mediocre (if you like Texmex), but not good enough to endure the uncomfortable dining area. People seem to like this place, so I think they intentionally make it uncomfortable to encourage table turnover - they want to "feed 'em and street 'em." Minimal seating on hard wood benches. The WORST part of the experience is that they've jumped on this idiotic ideal of "you can't sit down until you've ordered." Someone, somewhere decided this was the most fair way to delineate tables (who decided this? who knows?), but it causes such chaos and stress that the pearl isn't worth the dive. Not to mention the insufficient parking... Not their fault, but it almost seems this place goes out of its way to create an atmosphere of inconvenience for the customer. I don't find the food good enough to deal with the poor dining experience, so our family avoids this place but for the occasional "to go" order.
Friendly staff. Accommodating when I make large orders for staff luncheons. Consistent quality. Delicious. Worth the cost. Only drawback is the microscopic, hazardous parking lot, but that's all remedied if you just park across the street.

Good tacos, black beans are delicious to . I usually don't like them anywhere. They also have fresh tortillas to buy. I wish they would have fans in the outdoor patio.
Parking: Very hard to park . We had to park a few blocks away.
