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…

Good drinking environment; Fun atmosphere
by jayoldenburg at Citysearch
Food is just okay. This establishment makes its money on the Margaritas (they are good). There are better places for Mexican, but this place has an energy that I enjoy. The tortilla soup is really good. I like lunches here better than dinners.
- Pros: Fun environment; great margaritas
- Cons: Food is just okay

Don't believe the HYPE!
by marc4fun at Citysearch
When I moved from Chicago to Milwaukee one of the things I told everyone I would miss was the great Mexican food. I would have to say that at least 9 out of 10 people I asked for a recommendation said "go to La Perla, it's the best!"... So eager to try Milwaukee's best I went... the food was pitiful at best. The atmosphere was a like a frat house and the Margaritas were watered down. Now to be fair, maybe I'm just too old for this place considering I am out of college for almost a decade now... but for me I won't be back nor will I probably ever go back to any of the places at 5th & national...if you not just trying to take care of your pre frat party needs and your over 24 yrs old, do yourself a favor and pass on this place and go to Cempazuchi instead.
- Pros: low prices
- Cons: Everything else, Bad food, bad service, rude crowd, dirty tables...need I go on?
