" I have to say, this restaurant exceeded my expectations. The food is just phenomenal! It's mouth-wateringly delicious and clearly made with care, authentic ingredients. The atmosphere felt like home, with its rustic decor. My only suggestion would be to increase the variety of beverages on the menu. It’s a place you don’t want to miss; we’ll definitely be coming back soon! What a great find in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Perico is such a lovely place to enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine! The tables outside are perfect for a sunny day. The pollo asado is tender and bursting with flavor! The staff was friendly and made sure we felt welcome. While I'm not typically a fan of guacamole, their version was very good. I would recommend this spot to anyone who loves Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" A mixed experience at El Perico. The ambiance was lively and inviting, which I quite enjoyed. The chips and salsa they served as an appetizer were great, but I was less impressed with my main dish. It felt like it had been sitting for a while as it wasn’t as warm as I’d expected. The service was decent but not outstanding. There's definitely room for it to improve, but I may still return someday. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't have a lot of good to say about my experience at El Perico. The food wasn't terrible, but it didn't reignite my love for Mexican cuisine. The ambiance felt a bit dated, and while the staff was polite, I didn't feel a connection. I may try elsewhere for now and see if they come up with a new menu anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The overall experience at El Perico was delightful! I found the guacamole to be fresh and bursting with flavor. The chips were warm and crispy. However, while the ambiance was nice, the service during my visit was rather slow, which made the dining experience less enjoyable. Despite this, the food's authenticity kept me satisfied enough to come back for another visit. Worth checking out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Perico after hearing a lot of good reviews, and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. My order took too long, and when it finally arrived, it was lukewarm at best. The flavors didn’t pop as I’d hoped, which is a shame because I wanted to love this place. The staff seemed overwhelmed, possibly due to a rush, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth. I might give it another chance but will be cautious next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my meal at El Perico! The carne asada tacos were some of the best I've had outside of California. The flavors were rich and the serving portions were generous. My only complaint would be the cleanliness of the restrooms, which could definitely use some attention. Overall, a fantastic restaurant and one I will be revisiting soon. The staff was friendly, although they seemed a bit overwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)
