Restaurantji's Crescent City guide: Where to find the best Mexican flavors.
“Outstanding customer service from the gentleman who took my order. He really knows how to treat his customers. He was really busy because seems they are shoet staffed, but he handled everything likea Pro.The giant chicken burrito was delicious. The horchata was great as well. The long 30 min wait was worth it. Next time I'll order way in advance though ? this was my 1st time ordering from here- thanks again!!!!“
“Perlita's has amazing food, and the fact that their tortillas are homemade puts them in their own category for local restaurants. Last visit, I ordered a side of fresh flour tortillas, because they are so good they can be eaten alone!I also love that they offer so many vegetarian options.The food is authentic, delicious, and consistent.Vegetarian options: I find a lot of vegetarian options on the menu, like Haurache, veggie tamales & burritos. Vegan maybe more of a challenge, but I always find a great offering of veggie dishes.“
“I was asking around town where to get the best burrito and almost everyone pointed me here. I walked in and grabbed a burrito off the shelf was offered some salsa which I accepted and took it to the motel. I took a bite as soon as I arrived and dang, they really are good.“
“In the late 80s I was in Central America and between missions I found myself at a taco stand in a small beach town near Coyolito. There I had simple but perfect asada tacos and a cold beer that I have been chasing to re create for decades. Nothing fancy, just honest asada with hand pressed tortillas and a cold brew. When I returned home, searched every Hispanic restaurant menu I came across for over twenty years and tried in vain to capture that meal moment. That was until Gordi's opened their doors. Their carne asada tacos were like finding a Polaroid of an old friend you thought you lost. Simply and honestly prepared and served in fresh tortillas that didn't exist until you ordered them, splashed with lime and served with a cold beer and a "you're a local" smile. If you are looking for a polished chain restaurant that has glossy menus that are the same in all 100 locations, this place probably isn't for you. But if you look past the simplicity to the years of family tradition in every dish, it really won't bother you that they don't serve fishbowl margaritas filled with cheap tequila or put a sombrero on your head and sing to you on your birthday while clapping and giving you a churro with a sparkler on top. You will be eating like your their family, a family that is deeply connected with the Del Norte community and cares about things that matter. And you just can't get that experience from a polished franchise.“
“Best Mexican food in Crescent City. I get the Chicken Fajitas, the husband gets the burrito (without sauce, if you don't like sauce be sure to tell the waitress) and my child loves the quesadilla. Chips and salsa always are fresh. Great food for a great price too.“
“The staff was very friendly, they were understaffed a little but the wait time to be seated, order taken, and food to arrive all were not bad. the food was excellent! I would highly recommend this place. It looks like they may be remodeling, but I'm not sure. everyone was super nice and helpful. We will definitely be back! thank youVegetarian options: YesDietary restrictions: they are very flexibleParking: lots of parkingKid-friendliness: yesWheelchair accessibility: yes“
“Truly an amazing restaurant. I’m not from around Crescent City, so I ended up coming in here by chance. The food was incredible and the service was fast and friendly. On top of the food being amazing, it was reasonably priced. I would recommend coming here whole heartedly.“
