" Overall, my experience at Don Perico was pretty disappointing. I was really looking forward to having authentic Mexican food, but the tacos I ordered were bland and far from what I’ve had in Mexico. To make matters worse, the service was rather slow, and it felt like the staff was overwhelmed despite not being that busy. I hope they can improve because this place has potential. Perhaps I’ll give it another try, just to see if it was an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was restaurant week and my friends decided to try out Don Perico. The atmosphere alone was worth the visit; vibrant colors and traditional music playing made it feel festive. I ordered the shrimp cocktail along with some fish tacos. The shrimp was succulent, but unfortunately, the fish tacos were underwhelming—too much batter and not enough fish! Service was exemplary though; our server was kind and attentive. I might come back to try other items from the menu, especially after hearing good things about their enchiladas. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the worst experience at Don Perico. Ordered the shrimp cocktail and received bland shrimp without any accompaniments. The service was okay, but the food was disappointing enough that I don’t think I will return. A letdown for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Perico's is my go-to for a fun evening with friends. The vibe is cheerful, and the decorations instantly uplift your mood. The food seems fresh, although I think they could experiment with their spice levels a bit. I really enjoyed their table-side guacamole. The service was good, albeit a bit slow at times. I will be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" First visit to Don Perico left me a bit underwhelmed. The decor was colorful and inviting, but food lacked authenticity. The chicken enchiladas were fine but didn’t stand out. I felt the service was decent and somewhat attentive. I wish I had better things to say, but I expected more from this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredibly disappointed with my experience. I ordered the shrimp cocktail, which tasted bland and lacked the traditional garnishes. The service was adequate, but I expected much more from a restaurant that claims to serve genuine Mexican dishes. The ambiance is charming, but the food left a lot to be desired. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried this restaurant after some friends recommended it. The fish tacos I ordered were certainly a treat, and portion sizes were solid. The vibe was friendly, and the staff were attentive. I appreciate how they try to offer authentic flavors, but I wish they would spice things up a bit. Overall, a decent experience! " (*Curated Review*)
