Perlita's Authentic Mexican Restaurant in Crescent City

Delicious food, and the staff is very polite and friendly. They did a great job with takeout and navigating covid best practices.

If I could give a 0 star rating I would. Absolutely the worst mexican food I have ever had - to say it was edible is generous because we couldnt even finish our food. We ordered beef tacos, the meat was most definitely not beef - maybe pork? Regardless we should not have guess what type of meat is in our food. We also ordered 6 other meals, only one of which they actually got right. We were missing rice, the meat with the other dishes was wrong, there were beans on everything in the messiest way possible, they didn't label anything, they said they ran out of rice and the "salsa" is really just hot sauce - a complete joke. You would think after waiting an hour it would be worth it but I can most definitely say it was not. And the saddest thing is that we only went there after reading amazing reviews from other customers. I'm really not sure what happened but what I can say is that there is no chance in hell we will ever eat here again.

My family and I were in Crescent City for a weekend and on our second day there we gave Perlita's for dinner. I have mixed reviews…The tacos are great, the huaraches are delicious, the pozole is pretty good compared to my mom’s homemade pozole de Puerco. I love that they have homemade corn tortillas too! The only dish we did not like as much was the Chile Colorado. It needed more flavor, but it wasn’t horrible. The tortas were good too, but on the small side. There was many of us and we tried many items from their menu, definitely going back to Perlita’s Authentic Mexican restaurant when back in Crescent City.PS. We had all this “to go” and ate at a pier. Due to the pandemic we ordered through a window.

Very good well seasoned food. I liked their chips and salsa. Had four different dishes and all were good. We will return.

Perlita's is our go to favorite Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious, especially the fried tacos, the street tacos, the carnitas, and the abondiga soup (plus so much more). The service is awesome and quick. This is a great family owned restaurant!

The absolute best thing about crescent city! Best food, must have! Authentic and delicious! Don't eat anywhere else!

The salsa is amazing. Finally some spicy nicely ground salsa..Just loved it. The place is small. There isn't enough parking in the front so you will have to park at the back..There aren't enough tables so at times it does get crowded. The menu is usual the food tastes good as well..Mostly families came.to this place..Most credit cards accepted.

Clean, decent quality food but lacks a bit in spices and flavor and this comment is from a Mexican. Easy access and parking. But its worth trying and much better then most. They do give you options to the American style lettuce and tomate toppings on tacos. Good selection of items on the menu.

I love this place, everyone is nice makes my day to come over order yummy foods, have a nice chat I really love this restaurant. ♥️

We had a big order with some substitutions. They got it right and the food was hot, delicious, and they got it done fast. Definitely would come back.

What an excellent find! A nice little restaurant with attentive and very pleasant staff. But even better is their food! My Chili Relleno and Shredded Beef taco were beyond delicious, made just the way I like them! Hubby really enjoyed his Carnitas burrito as well. And the fried ice cream was very good to top off a tasty meal. Very reasonable prices, no one could possibly complain. A return visit is definitely in order on a trip through the area again.

Clean, friendly and fast...but almost too fast. Food Came out within minutes. Chips were good but small portion. If you want more they charge you. Salsa is more of a hot sauce. No onion or cilantro. Order the beef supreme had 90% rice. Small bit of beef on ends. Overall the taste was very very bland. 1st time never had to out salt on Mexican food and also 1st time I never seen queso at a Mexican restaurant.
