Editorial Review of
La Perla Cocina Mexicana
Some of the best Mexican food by the shore, La Perla Cocina Mexicana is a true highlight of Pacific Beach. While it may seem unimposing from the outside, La Perla is more commonly seen as a beacon of hope for those stumbling through Pacific Beach during a night of partying. Complex sauces and a familiarity with several unique Mexican spices help keep this burrito joint from falling into obscurity with the thousands of other local immitators. Try a classic California burrito, which may very well be one of the best version available in the city, or a perfectly fried Chile Relleno to keep your spirits up and your stomach full. Come early and try a fully customizable breakfast burrito to get your day started on the right foot. La Perla Cocina offers a better quick Mexican meal than many of us are used to in San Diego and is only a few steps away from one of the most popular local beaches.
