View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Taqueria Los Pericos:
huge and skurrile tacos; I liked the al pastor soft taco. tried the lengua (bef zunge) pro the raving reviews, but it wasn't for me. I had them in the interiors, but some ants were on the table together with other insects that vanish, so subtracting two stars. View all feedback.

Los Pericos has garnered a reputation as a must-visit spot for authentic Mexican cuisine, particularly celebrated for its massive burritos and flavorful tacos. Diners rave about the al pastor and tripe options, often praising the salsa bar's abundance. While many appreciate the swift service and complementary chips, some have reported issues with hair in food and cleanliness concerns, such as insects at tables. Despite mixed reviews about specific dishes and occasional alterations in quality, frequent visitors consistently regard the restaurant as their favorite in the area, attributing its popularity to the delicious, fresh offerings and vibrant atmosphere.

Pastor is so flavorful. Solid burrito with grilled tortilla. Solid size. Chips and salsa bar for the taking.
