" 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*)

" Best discovery of 2024! This taqueria could be the Mexican food heaven I've been searching for. Every dish I've ordered has been an explosion of authentic flavors! From the salsa verde that has just the right kick to the generous servings of the pericos burrito filled with fresh shrimp. I had the pleasure of dining on a Friday night, and even with the busy environment, the service was swift and super friendly. Walked out happy and satisfied. Will definitely return to try the fish tacos they rave about! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic food, but the service could use some tweaking. We waited a little longer than expected for our order, and when we finally got it, one of the meals was incorrect. The shrimp tacos we ordered ended up being carne asada instead. However, when I brought it up to the staff, they quickly apologized and made it right. The food, once it arrived, was fantastic! I would still recommend this place for the food alone, but they should work on their order accuracy. " (*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*)
