Palm Springs · Mexican
La Perlita
Unfussy, flavorful, and beloved for casual Mexican food that feels like a local recommendation rather than a tourist script.
♡ Darcey's Take
“La Perlita is a great casual Mexican spot when you want good food without making a big production of it. It has that easy local feel, and sometimes that is exactly what you want. My tip is to skip the sugary margarita mix and order the skinny margarita. It is simple, refreshing, and lets the food shine.”
