Editorial Review for La Perla – by Willard Romantini
The Scene
Located in historic Walker's Point, La Perla sets the neighborhood abuzz as the margaritas flow at an alarming pace. Delicious food, an ever-growing tequila collection of 225 varieties and a giant chili pepper you can ride for a quarter make this Milwaukee's most popular Mexican restaurant. Customers enjoy dining outside, but come early--the deck is one of the most popular places in the city on warm summer days.
The Food
Chef Jamie Gonzalez brings the flavors of his native Guadalajara to the table with seafood specialties featured prominently on the menu. The caldo de camaron is a delicious soup of huge shrimp, fragrant cilantro, tomatoes and avocado in a sweet and sour broth. Tender shrimp, chicken and beef fajitas, tacos pescados and shrimp a la diabla are equally delicious.

Best time -- busy place but worth the wait. best margaritas and excellent combo platters. new bar attracts great crowd. I had only been there for lunch before; dinner was awesome and a lot of fun to sit, drink and watch the different scenes. then plenty of food to take home for breakfast.
Pros: good food. great service. everyone having good time
Cons: crowds
