Tacos La Perla Taco Truck: Reviews & Ratings
Good food truck right outside of Pacific Pipe climbing gym. Super convenient location for climbers. No seating, to go only. They're cash or Zelle only.
Tried their tacos (asada, al pastor, lengua, cabeza) priced around 3$ a pop. Can zelle. Comes with corn tortilla (super crisy and soaks all the great flavors from the meat/salsa verde). My favorite cut was either the cabeza or the lengua, both were very tender and can compete with some of the spots down in San Diego. They give you some pickled veges and radish which were all enjoyable to cut the fattiness of the meat. Will definitely be coming back They have a small bar area to stand and eat the tacos as well as a single plastic table with 4 chairs behind their truck, off the side walk. Chill vibes.
Was in the area and stopped by to get a variety of tacos! So yummy and fresh! Highly recommend this taco truck versus the other two parked nearby. Maria is the bomb!
So delicious! I have never eaten their food before but I tried their veggie taco and it was amazing. Very reasonable prices as well. Will definitely eat again!
y'all, Tacos La Perla IS BACK!!! The truck is white now and the food is just as delicious as I remembered. Chips, salsa, pickles, and burrito perfection. Their rice is the best burrito rice. Their al pastor is FIRE! I love this place so much I'm so happy they're back!! (Still CASH ONLY!)
I absolutely love this place been going there for years and will continue to do so. I drive from Pacifica just to go eat there. I love their tacos they're delicious so are their burritos. The people are really nice the place is really clean it's delicious every time I've gone there and cannot beat the price I highly recommend this place this taco truck.
Yummy!! Food made of love! Service awesome! One sweet couple taco track feels homey and cozy! I parked behind the truck, ate in the car. A little quality time with myself. Feeding my body with yummy food made of love
The food was very delicious and had plenty of meat ... my tacos were delicious.. the service was good and very polite ... I wasn't disappointed until I got home and had was missing my spicy pork taco.. but i wasn't shorted any tacos I just have an extra chicken taco instead .. but the food was still good I would go back but this time check my order before I leave
I wasn't sure if this was the same truck as the one I went to because the identifying name looks different, but the pictures match. I've been to this truck when I was getting my auto glass replaced across the street. There was another truck parked on the block and I went to the one which had more people standing in front of. I ordered the Fried Potato Tacos and one Al Pastor Taco which in total was $19.50 (These days and in this economy I was happy to pay less than $20). The tacos were well prepared, I would've eaten in my car if it wasn't being serviced, but they smelled so good that I just hung out at the corner and ate them standing. I'm usually in favor of burritos but the tacos were good.
