   Perla is such a great vibe. Great food and drinks! Whenever we are in Santa Ana we try and eat here.

   We had such an amazing time! Our Server Josue was incredibly attentive. The food was beyond amazing! We had the Mole Enchiladas, Churros, and pancakes for the kids during brunch. Mariachi was the best! Also the Tropical Halibut Ceviche was some of the best we ever had! Matt the owner came by and was extremely gracious! We will be back!

   We always receive great service to complement the amazing food. Love the atmosphere, the mariachi team was a bonus!

   Tried Perla for taco tuesday and the tacos were on the smaller side but were good especially for the price of $2.50!

   Very cozy restaurant with hip urban exterior. It has a wonderful and friendly staff. Unfortunately my husband got very sick from his dinner there. My nachos and quesadillas on happy hour menu had a different kind of cheese than I was used to and as a result I left most of it uneaten and would not order them again. But the esquite (grilled corn) was the best I’ve ever had.

   We were ignored and had to wave down server since a bigger group gained all of the attention. Food came out way before we received our drinks. We were also seated before the group but the server went to them first and created a bad perception of the bigger table presenting greater value at our expense of our experience.

   Perla was amazing. Food was so delicious. I brought a party of 20 from my company and they were so impressed. Thank you for your service and good food and drinks. The night was special!

    It was not busy so not noisy which was good for conversation. Food and service was great. I had the enchiladas sampler so I could try all three. Yum. We were celebrating a birthday and got a nice dessert surprise with fireworks coming out! Great experience
