Rambling, friendly Mexican restaurant and party palace that's still kickin' after some 60 years in business. Live bands and mariachis on the weekends make it a destination nightspot for locals. The food is straight-ahead Mexican fare, nothing fancy, but the menu does offer a wide array of choices from chicken mole and steak Veracruz to huevos rancheros and machaca tacos.
La Perla Café doesn't present itself as anything other than a homey neighborhood place to splurge on tasty Chihuahua-style Mexican cooking, but the truth is, it's a full-fledged Glendale landmark. The Pompa family got this place started way back in 1946, which, in the land of sprawl, makes La Perla older than most parts of the Valley. It's no wonder the eatery's stayed in business all these years, though. Handmade tortillas are a highlight of many dishes here, including tacos, enchiladas, and burros. Eight different kinds of quesadillas are noteworthy, too — go for the Supreme, with machaca, green chiles, sour cream, and guacamole. La Perla prides itself on its cocktails as well, although we can never seem to branch out beyond the La Perla margarita with strawberries. Give us a pitcher of that, and we can handle the spiciest salsa they'll feed us.
great albondigas soup and carne asada tacos.

Mariachi bands, and solo brass artists work the rooms on the weekends, but even if you're not there when the music is flowing, you'll... More »
