La Perla Taquería — Restaurant in San Jose

So this place I also went to try out because an old high school classmate of mine who does tiktok food reviews recommended it. Would I go here again ? Hell no. The food was okay at best and It did not look anything like the video where she got her food. Again as I mentioned in the other spot that she advertised, the food on her plates and videos were probably bigger due to the fact that she was gonna be on camera. I paid a lot more than $.99 for a mango Arizona that is supposed to be $0.99 almost $3 or so. That's way too high of a price. The total for 5 tacos de asada, one of their "biggest burrito" and one drink of Arizona mango was around $57 something. Tell me how that adds up?? That's overpriced for mediocre taste. The burrito that I had paid for I asked to have double meat!! Which I got charged for. They gave me one of the two meats that I asked for. I asked for their biggest burrito which was a wet one according to the person that attended me, whom she was very nice. It was a lot of tortillas not enough inside of it. Definitely not enough meat for sure. The tacos were decent but super taqueria sells better ones and more stuffed with meat. Man I know people keep saying inflation but don't screw over the customer with their food if your business is the food business. I was very disappointed with what I got. I wanted a plate like the enchiladas that my tiktok friend recommended but nope got more tortilla and sauce than anything. The place literally had no customers before we came in. Whoever the guy was that made my "burrito with two meats" was on the phone during that time, and I didn't even see him wash his hands before starting to make my burrito and he did not wear any gloves while prepping the food either. So yeah I don't know what to think of that.

Again please make it up and impress me just as you impressed my tiktok high school classmate. Treat every customer's plate the same as if they are all going to be on camera with your food. I am definitely disappointed and felt robbed with having ordered two meats and only getting one. They put a small amount of carnitas and no carne asada at all. So if the owner can please let me know how they can make it up, then that would be fantastic. Hopefully I don't get a generic answer because a lot of Mexican food places that I have been trying for the first time have been disappointing; and they have given generic answers and not made it up to the customer. Let's see...

The food here is garbage. We had the shrimp and calamari cocktail and I have to tell you none of it was fresh. This shrimp were defrosted out of a bag and the calamari was not good as well. The vegetables looked like they were in the fridge for a while because everything was soaked and wilted.

If you want fresher food go out to the cart they put out on McGuiness since you’re actually looking at them cutting up the food. It belongs to the restaurant since we were there when they were cashing in. There were more people eating at the cart than in the actual restaurant which I should have done the same.

Oh well! There are many Mexican restaurants to go too but this should not make the short list because it medium price for...

Me and my brother were regulars here for years, it's been awhile but last time I was there with my family the owner ripped us off by $30, and it wasn't the first time, he gives the bill total with no breakdown on the prices, this time I said something because it was $30 more than I calculated, he said Oh I accidently charged twice for a meal that was $15, if that was the case the bill would have been $15 more NOT $30, so he charged for three, like i said there were other occasions I went there and didn't say anything even though I thought it should have been less, the food was fantastic, that's why we always went there, but they lost a regular customer, I will never return, ripping off a good customer...
