This is my second time here, I forgot how good it was!!!! We got seated right away, despite that it was full on the left & a good crowd on the right; our waitress was super sweet & very attentive, they brought us chips salsa & water, we each ordered the Three Amigos ( Chile relleno, chicken enchilada & Beef shredded hard taco, I order mine with bean's & salad, my husband got the rice & beans, they also brought us some green tomatillo salsa so good & tasty! We were admiring the decor on the wall & they even have a family picture we met one of the owners' daughters that works there too! Super nice!!

This place definitely has the best Chile rellons in the desert. Angel is the owner and he is very kind to all his customers. My mom loves the nachos and let me say the are delicious. Im Hispanic myself so I love cooking my own Mexican food but i come to la Perlitas for the chili rellenos. Never in all our years have we had bad food ir service. Thank you Angel and staff

Came by Monday morning leaving Stagecoach and am SO glad we chose this spot. GREAT customer service and even better food. I had chilaquiles with steak that was 10/10 amazing. Inside was clean and spacious.

The service was fantastic but the food was just average. Had a taco and enchilada combination.

So many Mexican restaurants to choose from! We avoid the biggest which is also, quite honestly, the worst place in town so we always search out somewhere small or interesting. This place was our spot of choice on our last visit to Palm Springs. My review is on one visit only (so far!) We were delightfully surprised to see that the margaritas are made with lime juice rather than a sweet mix. I ordered a jalapeno margarita and was definitely not disappointed! Delish and yet not overly sweet. One of the best jala-margs I've ever had. Normally we can get a good feel as to how a restaurant will be as soon as we try the chips and salsa. Salsa was watery and bland, chips tasted pre-made and/or slightly on the stale side. Uh oh. But have no fear, they redeemed themselves... I loved that I was able to opt for fresh veggies rather than rice! The zucchini, onions and peppers were grilled to perfection! Beans were delicious and a fantastic consistency. I ordered the combo with an enchilada and a hard shell taco. Although the carnitas in the taco was on point, the shell was just as lousy as the chips (stale and pre-made-ish). I mean, it's a taco, so I still ate it, but it wouldn't be a choice the next time. Enchilada more than made up for it though. Very happy with my dinner and we all agreed that we would definitely return again! Located out by itself in a little shopping strip, it can be easy to miss. Parking was abundant and even though we arrived on the early side for dinner, there was no wait yet plenty of people dining already. Price for meals run about $10-15 per person. There is a nice variety on their menu; shrimp, salads, chimichangas, chile relleno, tortas, breakfast, wine, beer, mixed drinks. Our waiter and all wait staff we came in contact with were friendly, helpful and treated us with importance. Cool little place on the map, definitely will be back on our next visit to our beloved PS! Some of the best traditional Mexican food we've had here! CHEERS!!

Best Mexican food. I've had in Palm Springs so far. The carne asada was juicy and full of flavor. I'm not sure how long it was marinated, but it tasted like it was marinated for days. The beans and rice are pretty good too. The service was good, fast and friendly staff. The ambiance is nice for a strip mall restaurant.
