La Perla is the Heart of Milwaukee's Latin Quarter. We opened in 1995 with delicious food and unlimited fun in mind. From our homemade dishes to our signature margaritas and of course our friendly staff, La Perla calls to you. Where else can you ride a chili pepper?!

We serve authentic Mexican dishes in the style of Guadalajara and prepared fresh daily in our kitchen. Check out our mega-tequila and hot sauce collections on display and available to you if you can handle them!

Open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner, 11:00 a.m. - 10:00 pm, La Perla has the perfect space for you. Whether you sit in our main smoke-free dining room, on the roof-top patio, by a fire-pit, in one of our unique cabanas, at the bar, or if you reserve our private party room, you and your guest(s) are guaranteed a great time.

We're locally owned and all about taking good care of you. Just let us know if there is anything else we can do to make your experience at La Perla even more enjoyable.

5th and National. La Perla. Get here.

Ride the pepper, tip back a tequila and get ready for a Mexican fiesta on La Perla's semi enclosed outdoor patio. Too cold for you outside? Don't worry, La Perla's patio features outdoor heaters that keep you toasty on the coolest of summer nights.

Had a great time! Loved the atmosphere, food, and service. Can't wait to go back! I am new to Milwaukee and some people from work took me there. Tuesdays may be La Perla night!

Best margaritas and excellent combo platters. New bar attracts great crowd. I had only been there for lunch before; dinner was awesome and a lot of fun to sit, drink and watch the different scenes. Then plenty of food to take home for breakfast.

La Perla's original margaritas are the best I've had anywhere!

Excellent authentic Mexican. Some unique dishes not found elsewhere. If you like seafood, one of the few Mexican restaurants with good Mexican sea food dishes. Service is great. Very busy, but not overly crowded since the outdoor dining.

Thanks LaPerla. Love your new dishes. The rooftop patio is beautiful too. I'll be bringing my girlfriends back again this weekend!
