" Disappointed with my visit. The sweet bread tasted like it had been sitting out for too long, and the attendant seemed overwhelmed, which affected the service speed. I was looking forward to their famed tamales but ended up feeling underwhelmed. I hope they can remedy these issues because I loved their pastries in the past. Maybe it was just an off day for them. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to stop by La Perlita Cafe during lunch, and it did not disappoint! The burritos were wonderfully filled, offering a delightful taste of authentic Mexican cuisine. I was also impressed with the variety of pastries that caught my eye. However, I found the seating area could use a bit of tidying up, as it felt a bit cluttered. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch and will visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

The atmosphere is vibrant, filled with the sounds and scents of homemade goodness. Can’t wait to see what’s new on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by La Perlita Cafe after hearing good things, and it pleasantly surprised me! The bread was light and flavorful, the perfect snack. However, I did notice that they were out of some of the pastries I wanted to try, which is a bummer. Nonetheless, I would recommend this cafe for their tamales, which left a lasting impression! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first time trying the cochinita pibil, and I must say it was delicious! Packed with flavor and the perfect amount of spice, this dish has quickly become one of my favorites. The atmosphere at La Perlita Cafe is welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal. The service can sometimes be a little slow when they’re busy, but the food is worth the wait!
