" I was quite shocked by how mediocre my meal was at Perla Negra considering the hype. The food came out at different times, which was frustrating. When it finally arrived, my shrimp looked sad and overcooked. The cocktails were refreshing but overall, I felt that my meal didn’t live up to the authentic experience I was promised. I left feeling a bit cheated. I may try a different Mexican restaurant next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my lunch at Perla Negra. The shrimp tacos were fantastic and taste authentic! The environment was inviting, and I appreciated how the staff checked in on us regularly. However, it was a bit pricey for what we got. I think I'll stick to lunch specials next time. Still, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for good seafood! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went with high hopes, but the food at Perla Negra didn’t quite meet my expectations. The seafood was fresh but lacked depth in flavor. After going through quite a few dishes, I left feeling unsatisfied, especially considering the pricing. The atmosphere felt lively but may not suit everyone due to the noise. Not sure if I will return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had the opportunity to try Perla Negra, and while I was eager to try their seafood offerings, the overall experience left me a bit disappointed. The ceviche was overly salty, and the toritos didn't taste right to me—more like mayo than cream cheese. The service was lackluster; our waitress seemed indifferent to our concerns. I doubt I'll return, especially with so many great options nearby. " (*Curated Review*)

" Perla Negra was just okay. I found the service to be hit or miss; some staff were friendly while others seemed overwhelmed. The shrimp was cooked well, but I didn't find the portion sizes to be worth the price. The atmosphere was lively, which is nice if you enjoy being around a crowd, but it could get noisy. I think I’ll probably try a different place next time unless I hear better things going forward. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Perla Negra after hearing a lot of buzz around their seafood. The experience I had was positive overall. The food was filled with fresh flavors, particularly in the ceviche, which packed a punch! The ambiance was vibrant; it’s the kind of place you could stay for a few hours. The service was decent too. I would definitely return and possibly try their happy hour next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a fan of Perla Negra ever since they opened. Their seafood is incredible, and the ambiance is vibrant, cultivating an inviting environment. Each dish I’ve ordered has been delightful, particularly the ceviche and toritos. The wait staff has always been attentive and kind, never making me feel rushed. A very hearty five stars from me!
