Great food. Solid Ownership. Wonderful Staff. Observing LaPerla's growth over the past 10 years, I can confirm that LaPerla is the true original. The other restaurants have imitated LaPerla pretty well, but none seem to have gotten the friendly service thing down the way the true original, LaPerla, has.

Let me start by saying that I dine out a lot and I love Milwaukee's Mexican restaurants. But La Perla is by far the best around. The food is consistently good and moderately priced, the drinks are awesome and the wait staff and atmosphere make it a must-stop place whenever I entertain out-of-towners. I dare you to go to La Perla and not have a great meal and not have a great time. This place is the best.

It is the friendly service that sets LaPerla apart from the other Mexican restaurants in the city. For the most part, Americanized Mexican food is very similar no matter where you go. But Laperla's staff is exceptionally friendly and excellent at making you feel welcome.

Not only is this a great restaurant, but it serves as an ambassador for the entire Latin Quarter in the City of Milwaukee. One of the originals, La Perla does its very best to make sure people visit a growing part of our community.

I had a date here this weekend. This place is amazing. The food is delicious, the margaritas are like candy with alcohol and the fact that the sexy owner drives the shuttle to transport the great looking crowd makes this "experience" unlike any other in Milwaukee. Did I forget, atmosphere is perfect for people watching?

Rock and Roll Baby! This is the place is like all the rest for overall food quality, but the service is by far the most friendly - so clearly La Perla is a big winner.

There is so much great Mexican food in Milwaukee, but La Perla still stands out. Always excellent. You've got to try the fish tacos.

The best service and food. My husband and I always ask for the same waitress. Her name is Olivia. Olivia makes you feel really welcome like its her home. She gives the best service that I ever had. The rest of the staff is great too. The food is fantastic.

The outdoor patio was the reason I first ever went to La Perla. The food, service, ambiance is the reason I keep bringing all my friends back there with me.
