" I was really looking forward to dining here based on the hype but sadly left disappointed. The enchiladas were not what I expected; the tortillas were too small and the filling was lacking flavor. The spicy salsa did help, but I felt like something was truly off. Service was friendly, but the food missed the mark for me. I might give it another shot and try something different, as I've heard good things about their fish tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Taqueria Los Pericos on a Sunday and we were pleasantly surprised! Each of us ordered different dishes and shared. The carnitas tacos were absolutely divine, and the shrimp burrito was loaded with crunch and flavor! The staff was friendly and seemed genuinely happy to serve us. We also enjoyed the chips with salsa while we waited for our food. Overall, a fantastic family meal together! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Pericos nails it again! The salsa bar is my favorite feature. I could spend all day picking and choosing the right salsa for each bite. If you're a fan of authentic, flavorful Mexican food, this isn’t a place you want to miss! I found the staff to be genuinely helpful and friendly during my visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I heard a lot of chatter about Los Pericos, and it did not disappoint! The variety in the salsa bar is impressive, and each one adds a unique flair to the dishes. I particularly enjoyed the grilled fish tacos—they were perfectly crispy! The atmosphere was vibrant and busy but still managed to feel welcoming. I will definitely be a regular here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first experience at Taqueria Los Pericos today. I tried the carne asada burrito; it was generous with filling but lacking that spice kick I love. The staff was welcoming, although the timing was a bit off once things got busy. Overall, the meal was solid, but I expected more excitement on flavors. Will consider going back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had really high hopes based on the reviews but it fell flat for me. The rice was cold and the fish taco tasted just okay—not the mind-blowing experience I had expected. Service was polite but it didn’t completely redeem my outing. I might consider another visit if I give it more time to settle into their routine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious and my tummy is very happy! The burritos are of good size and bursting with flavor. The only downside was the ambiance—it was a bit too crowded during dinner. I’d suggest going during off-peak hours if you prefer quieter settings. Regardless, I am definitely coming back for the shrimp burrito! " (*Curated Review*)
