“We went to the Fiests Grande restaurant today (2-1-25). Somebody told the manager that my husband was stealing a cup that was on another table. My husband saw the cup and was showing me how cool it was (we are seniors and if my husband liked a cup that he saw he would have asked our server if the restaurant sold them, we do not have to steal. Nor were we dressed poorly.) So, the manager came over to us, and demanded to look in my husband's bag. I felt so bad for my husband! The look on his face! He was mortified! She did not find a cup, because my husband did not take anything. She embarrassed my husband and me in front of everyone. I approched the manager and told her she was out of line and she told me she had to protect her customers...well, my husband and I were also her customers, she didn't protect us from public humiliation! She also told me " I am Mexican, I know how it feels. I don't know what she meant by that. We will never visit that restaurant again, and probably won't go to Mt. Dora again either! Needless to say, our beautiful day was ruined.“

“New to the area and decided to look for something we haven't tried yet. Walking up, the place looked closed, but thankfully it wasn't!
​We intentionally came during a slower time, so the place was almost empty. Typically, that’s when you risk getting slower service or lesser quality food, but we were completely surprised by how great everything was. Paola was our server and she was fantastic—speedy, attentive, and highly recommended. Make sure to ask for her and let her know I sent you!
​We started with the dip trio, which is always a great way to sample multiple flavors. I haven't said this in a long time, but the table salsa was absolutely fantastic, closely followed by the bean dip. The queso and guacamole were both really good as well.
​My wife ordered the Pollo Cancun, and let me tell you, I instantly regretted not getting it myself. It was honestly the best chicken and shrimp dish I have ever tasted!
​I got the Chile Relleno, which was perfectly prepared and very good. My only slight critique was the red sauce; my wife loved it, but I just thought it was okay—not my favorite, but not bad by any means. Even the rice and beans were excellent. We typically just pick at them, but here we actually enjoyed them both.
​We finished up with the fried ice cream for dessert, which was great. We will absolutely be back to enjoy that again and to explore the rest of the menu!“

“The food was a solid 10/10—everything tasted great. Unfortunately, the customer service was subpar. Stephanie asked for my name, and when I explained that I hadn’t ordered yet and was there to place an order, she told me to give her a minute. While I looked over the menu, she tapped her fingers on the counter to get my attention instead of simply acknowledging that she was ready. Her overall demeanor felt dismissive and unwelcoming, and she never once said “thank you.” Great food, but the customer service could definitely use improvement.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience at La Perla Tapatia Mexican Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite was spot on, from the perfectly seasoned dishes to the generous portions. A huge shout-out to Tony, our server, who truly made the night even better. He was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect without ever being overbearing. You can tell he genuinely cares about great service. Between the outstanding food and Tony’s excellent service, this place is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back — and asking for Tony again!“

“They never disappoint!! Steak and shrimp never gets old!!“

“I love how the restaurant is decorated. The service and the food is always great. This is one of our favorite restaurants“

“Great margaritas and tacos. Jade was fantastic. Will ask for her next tome.“

“the food is great. comment on "hair" in food/burrito - ok, but how does that translate into "service: 1" ?? how do you score a 1 all the way across because supposedly there's a hair in your food ? i've never had that issue“

“Outstanding authentic MX food.
My girls had the street tacos & I had the enchiladas with red sauce and barbacoa beef.
This is a hidden gem.
Bonus: attached to a Mexican grocery. For desert we went to the grocery and got Mexican icecream & candy.“

“This place has the best authentic Mexican food . We had the enchiladas with the rice and beans. Also had the tongue tacos and the Cabeza tacos. So good. The food was amazing. Definitely a taste of Mexico. It's a small place. Only 6 tables but also doubles as a meat market. The staff was super friendly. Did not have a long wait for our food. Maybe twelve minutes or so, considering all the people that were coming in for take out. This will be my go to place for Mexican food. Definitely a hidden gem.“

“Todo exquisito! 100% recomendado.“

“They are always amazing 🤩!“
