Reviewers describe La Perle D'Acapulco as authentic Mexican cuisine with standout items like fish tacos, chorizo and al pastor tacos, tamales, ceviche and a tortilla soup; the hibiscus juice is praised for being balanced and fresh, and the staff are repeatedly noted as friendly, patient, and attentive with fast service and helpful recommendations; prices are seen as reasonable and the atmosphere welcoming, with many calling it a hidden gem and one of the best around; on the downside some dishes fall short including pozole arriving without totopos with a bland broth and too much corn, and quesadillas al pastor that lack flavor and feel fatty, while a few reviews mention mushy rice and an overall average impression; despite mixed notes, many say they would return for the authentic flavors and consistent positives.
This is a spectacular, little, authentic, family-owned Mexican restaurant bringing flavours of Acapulco to Montreal. I had a burrito & it was so delicious. The service was good too. I was particularly amazed by the frothy, blended horchata. I've never had horchata served like that before, it was as much of a treat as the food. There is limited seating as it's a small restaurant. So worth trying this place if you love Mexican flavours.

J'ai commandé sur une application. Le pozole est arrivé sans totopos & la saveur était très ordinaire. Peu de bouillon qui était fade & beaucoup trop de maïs. Le format est petit contrairement à d'autres restaurants mexicains qui le vendent au même prix. Les quesadillas al pastor ne sont pas bonnes non plus. La viande n'a pas de saveur & c'est très gras. Les sauces sont ordinaires. Dommage. No soy mexicana pero vivi en México y sé reconocer un buen sazón.
Les propriétaires sont gentils & bon service! Savoureux, goût authentique! Tacos de poissons, chorizo & Pastor, tous succulents! La sopa de tortilla ! Je recommande le jus d'hibiscus, bien équilibré & frais! Je reviendrai c'est certain!
Very friendly staff, they were patient & helpful with recommending me new dishes. Food was delicious. Prices extremely reasonable. I definitely will be back.
La nourriture est moyenne. Il y'a un goût dérangeant dans le riz. Je ne comprends pas les gens qui disent que ce n'est pas cher. 22$ pour un plat tacos avec juste un peu de viande & 4$ le coca cola c'est vraiment très cher pour un ptit restaurant de rue.

Second time I come here now, super awesome little spot. Absolutely love getting the chilaquiles & their coffee is really good too. Great ambiance, incredible prices, excellent service!
