La Perla's signature burritos aren't just food—they're legendary. Featured on Eater San Diego and award-winning for their generous portions, crispy textures, and unforgettable flavor combinations that keep customers coming back.
Oaxaca California Burrito
Our signature masterpiece. Perfectly seasoned carne asada, crispy golden fries, melted Oaxaca cheese, fresh pico de gallo, creamy guacamole, and our special sauce wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. The crispy fries create an irresistible texture that sets this burrito apart from every other California burrito in Point Loma.
King Kong Burrito
The massive specialty that put La Perla on the map. This oversized beast is loaded with premium carne asada, crispy fries, melted cheese, fresh vegetables, and all the toppings you could want. One King Kong is practically a meal for two—generous portions at fair prices is our promise.
California Burrito
The classic San Diego style done right. Tender meat, crispy fries, melted cheese, sour cream, and fresh guacamole create the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Simple, timeless, and absolutely delicious—this is what made California burritos famous.
