La Bufadora Baja Grill Perris

"In the quest for authentic Mexican cuisine, my expectations led me to La Bufadora, a name that promised an experience akin to the culinary delights of Ensenada. The anticipation was palpable, fueled by whispers of its authenticity and the vibrant flavors that awaited. However, the reality that unfolded was a narrative of disappointment, a culinary journey that veered significantly from its promised course. Upon arrival, the first encounter was with a burrito that bore the hallmarks of minimalism, not by design but by shortfall. The portion presented was a stark contrast to the hearty offerings of even the most commercialized Mexican food chains, such as Del Taco or Taco Bell. This diminutive offering was not only lacking in size but was also a misstep in the dance of flavors. The El Pastor, a dish that should sing with the harmonious blend of spice and succulence, was instead an off-key rendition, overly sweet and devoid of the robustness that characterizes authentic Mexican fare. The disappointment was compounded when the desire for a wet burrito, a staple that conjures images of rich sauce enveloping a generously filled tortilla, was met with a disheartening revelation. Despite its presence on the menu, I was informed, with a casualness that belied the gravity of the omission, that La Bufadora no longer served wet burritos. This disconnect between expectation and reality was a palpable blow, a culinary promise unfulfilled. Thus, my visit to La Bufadora was marked not by the discovery of a gem in the landscape of Mexican cuisine but by the realization that the search for authenticity is fraught with mirages. It was a first and final visit, a chapter concluded with the knowledge that Perris, CA, is a tapestry rich with culinary options, among which La Bufadora will no longer be considered. The journey for authentic flavors continues, with the hope that the next destination will be one where the essence of Mexican cuisine is not just promised but profoundly delivered."

"I don't know how anything tastes...they have no Gluten Free options. I was very disappointed, as making a few GF items is a piece of cake, when referring to Mexican food. Will not suggest to anyone...they were rude."

"I love the $5 nacho special Mon -Fri. The breaded fish and shrimp tacos are also a fave. They now offer Birria I haven't tried it yet."

"Small walkway when entering to order but cashier was very kind and knowledgeable. As about ingredients in their ceviche, very helpful worker. Ordered for Dine-in, simple pick up window, they will call your name when it’s ready. I ordered two shrimp tacos and the La torte tostada, shrimp tacos balanced I just wish the shrimp had more seasoning. Had a friend try one said same thing. The tostada was great, all four means shrimp, crab, fish, and, octopus. Mainly focused on the octopus and it wasn’t chewing, a plus+++ OVERALL GOOD FOOD."

"Everything good, but they charge for extra sauce at this location. When you ask for it just be prepared for a rude response. I went there twice and dealt with 2 different cashiers and they both gave me attitude. Other than that everything good."
