La Perla

Part of the Cafe Pacifico family, La Perla wins many friends with its unpretentious Mexican charm, tangy margaritas & other well-prepared Latino stalwarts, such as the Daiquiri & that blast-from-the-past, the Pina Colada – the thing to order if you can’t hack your Tequila straight. If you can, there’s anejo, reposado or ultra-premium 100% agave, though the dog’s cojones is the Cuervo 1800 Milenio, which comes with a £100-a-shot price tag. Beers include Dos Equis Claro & Modelo Especial & there’s a short wine list that kicks off at £12.50. Tapas, tacos & quesadillas are all present & correct, & the decor is authentically Mexicano moderno.
