La Perla

Tucked away
in the heart of Covent Garden you'll find La Perla. A themed Mexican
bar and restaurant mostly frequented by regulars from surrounding
businesses. It's extensive range of tequilas and mezcals and long
list of cocktails makes this place a haven for those who take their
drinking seriously!
We decided to
have dinner there and started off with Nachos Rancheros - corn chips
covered in cheese, sauce, cream and other toppings - these were
a bit too fussy for my liking. We then had the chilli swordfish
fajitas, dramatically presented on a sizzling platter. The food
was fine but a lot of the authenticity was lost in trying to please
the masses!
The wine list
was good, boasting a range of South American favourites and a selection
of Mexican beer. The waiters and bar staff were friendly and the
atmosphere was buzzing.
We had a fun
evening, but I think next time I go, I'll stick to the Margaritas
and forego the nachos!
