" I can’t say enough good things about Los Pericos! The variety available on their menu is impressive and truly showcases the authentic flavors of Mexico. I had a vegetarian burrito and my partner had tacos; both were fresh and delicious. The staff was ever so kind and helpful in suggesting options. I felt welcomed and appreciated as a customer which is something rare these days. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am so happy I discovered Los Pericos! Their menu has a range of traditional Mexican dishes that I found so comforting. The mole on their enchiladas was rich and flavorful, making it one of the best I've had outside of Mexico. The portions were generous, and I felt like I received a lot for what I paid. I will keep coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Pericos is not just a taqueria, it's an experience! When you enter, the aromatic scents of fresh ingredients waft through the air. I ordered their enchiladas and they were filled to the brim with quality cheese and perfectly seasoned chicken. The vibrant salsa complementing them was the highlight of the dish. To top it off, I couldn't resist grabbing a treat from their little market section afterward. This place is bringing the heart of Mexico to Santa Cruz and it shows! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Los Pericos on a whim, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The burrito was hearty and the salsa toppings were a delight. I also appreciated the market side of the business with all the local products available. Even if you only stop for a snack, you won’t be disappointed. The staff is friendly and the pace is relaxed. Great value for an affordable meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Okay, so I had a disappointing experience. The food I received was not what I ordered. I went for the fish tacos, and while they looked good, I found them overly soggy. The service was nice, but my order took longer than expected. I think I might give it another chance simply due to the local reputation. " (*Curated Review*)

" The highlight of my visit was definitely the hot sauce! Each taco I had was just enhanced by it. I loved the taste and fresh ingredients used in all the food. However, the service could be a bit slower than I would have liked, especially during lunch rush. That said, I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a solid taqueria experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not that impressed. Ordered the California burrito, and while I enjoyed the flavor, it was more of a snack than a filling meal. I’d definitely come back for another try and would think about trying a different dish next time. The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff was cheerful. " (*Curated Review*)
