" Taqueria Los Pericos has quickly become one of my top choices for lunch! The tacos are truly exceptional, especially with their salsa verde—it adds the perfect touch of flavor. I also appreciate the fast service; I rarely wait long for my food. Not to mention, the outdoor seating is a great option for nice days. Each meal has been fresh, and I’ve yet to be disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I've had some great meals at Taqueria Los Pericos, my last visit left me a bit disappointed. The Super Vegetarian Burrito I ordered was soggy and didn't have the fresh taste I remember from earlier visits. I appreciate their attempt to cater to vegetarians, but I think they need to reconsider their balance of ingredients in that dish. However, the chips and salsas were still top-notch! Overall, I would still recommend the place, but maybe stick to their tacos and burritos. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria Los Pericos is an awesome place to grab some tacos! I was blown away by how fresh everything tasted. The selection of salsas was also impressive and truly added layer upon layer of flavor to the dishes. The prices are reasonable for the quality provided, and I'll be recommending this spot to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Taqueria Los Pericos based on prior reviews, but my experience was mixed. The carne asada burrito lacked seasoning and felt pretty average. I expected more from their signature dish, especially given the rave reviews on authenticity. The restaurant itself could also use more ambiance; it felt a little too casual for my taste. I may try it again once the kitchen is fully settled, but this visit was not great. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taqueria Los Pericos has a special place in my heart—definitely one of my go-to spots for Mexican food! The menu offers a wide selection, and everything I've tried has been delicious. The ambiance is casual with picnic-style seating, which I don't mind at all. The only downside is the lack of indoor seating, especially during colder months. But, the flavors and portion sizes keep me coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally tried Taqueria Los Pericos after hearing so much hype—turns out it lives up to it! The variety of tacos on offer is impressive, and made with fresh ingredients that made each bite delightful. Service was quick on a weekend evening despite it being busy. A new favorite of mine for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Taqueria Los Pericos was wonderful! The carne asada was wonderfully cooked, and their selection of fresh salsas made it even better. I also enjoyed the comfortable outdoor seating area which was perfect for a summer day. Prices were reasonable for the portion sizes provided. I’m definitely planning to come back for more!
