La Perla Taqueria | Méxican Grill - Mexican restaurant in Chico - 450 Broadway St, USA

I walked into this place on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions. I ordered the combo plate with an enchilada and a Chile relleno. When it was served, the food looked even better than the picture on the menu, and it tasted delicious. I also liked their free chips and salsa bar. I'll be back for sure.

Wow, amazing food. Looks like a gourmet dinner. Everything fresh and clean environment. I will be back and I don't even live here.

Chorizo and eggs are good and I especially like how it's serve all day. Portions are huge and represent a good value overall. They also have Modelo on tap. Service is consistently quick even though you order at a counter your food is ready by the time you sit down to some free chips at their salsa bar. For quality and flavor it is par for Northern Californian Mexican food. Fresh juice is worth it and the breakfast burritos are perfect!

My wife and I walked in on a Friday afternoon after seeing this place for over a year, and was assailed by the extensive menu they offered, and then hit with "Sticker Shock" at the prices. I ordered the Deluxe Chicken Nachos...she ordered the #3 special, which was the Steak Enchilada and Ground Beef Taco w/ beans and rice. With 2 large drinks... just under $30. The food arrived fast enough, and we found out why. There was absolutely NO heart/soul/effort put into the food. 75% of the nacho chips were broken bits, chicken was bland, not enough beans, too many jalapeños, the "Guacamole" was bottled, and the sour cream was pure liquid. Her Taco was set into the beans, which made it soggy, and the steak was flavorless. The salsa bar contained more mass-produced salsa, which was plain tasting. The best part of her meal, she says, was the rice...best part of mine was not finishing it! Far, far better...and cheaper, authentic Mexican restaurants in Chico, folks. Bypass this establishment and do your research.

I've visited La Perla Taqueria a few times now and have had a consistently good experience. Friendly service and delicious, quality mexican cuisine. The restaurant lobby is kept clean tidy and the interior decor is very nice. Great downtown Chico location too!

Saw reviews about Menudo and decided to give it a try. One of the best I have tried, you can choose the meat (I do not like "pata", or corn), it comes with all the condiments and enough tortillas, worth to try. They also have fresh squeezed juice, a little bit expensive but good. Definitely I'll come back to try other items in the menu. Friendly Staff too!

ACTUALLY MY FIRST TIME IN CHICO. MY WIFE HAS COME A FEW TIMES TO VISIT MY SON. WE WERE CRAVING SOME MEXICAN FOOD AND COLD 🍻 CERVEZAS 🍻 I ORDERED SHRIMP DIABLO PLATE. REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD GREAT FLAVOR AND SUPER COLD BREWS. EVERYONES PLATE HAD EXCELLENT FLAVOR. 🇲🇽 😋 🌯 CLEAN RESTROOMS, THE ONLY THING THE CHIPS WERE HARD GOOD VARIETY OF SALASA’s AT THE SALASA BAR.

I loved the chip bar being available...that was very impressive. Being the 1st day open for business ...not real impressive...but.. we will be sure to try them again. I wish I had know before I ordered my food, because I do like to have a beer when enjoying mexican food. No beer available..though it is on the menu!!!!! If this place isn't fully stocked it shouldn't have opened yet or have a sign(out of stock). Nevertheless
