Been coming here for over 25 years back when it was just called la perla. My mom use to take me here and get the same shrimp cocktail . I stopped in after not being here in a long time and ordered the same. Although the name is different the service snd food remained consistent snd delicious.

A gem for anyone craving authentic Mexican food in South San Francisco. I absolutely loved the chicken quesadilla—it was perfectly cheesy and flavorful. The tacos were fresh, authentic, and delicious. Don't miss out on their mango juice; it's the perfect sweet and refreshing complement to the meal.

Homemade tortillas. Delicious authentic Mexican plates.
