" Wow! What a hidden gem this restaurant is! When you walk in, you’re greeted with smiles from the staff. I ordered the fajitas, and they were sizzling and packed full of flavor. The portions were so generous that I ended up taking some home. The atmosphere is buzzing with great energy, making it a fantastic place to enjoy dinner with friends. I'll be coming here again, every chance I can! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Perico is absolutely wonderful! I cannot emphasize enough how good the authentic Mexican food is here. Their mole sauce is a must-try, bursting with flavors and lovely aromas. The burrito I had was generously portioned, ensuring I left full and satisfied. The atmosphere is casual yet pleasant, making it ideal for family dinners. I plan to spread the word about this place!

" This is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to! Their salsas are fresh and aromatic, and the main dishes are flavorful and generously portioned. I've been back three times and every time the food consistently impresses me. The atmosphere is cheerful and it's easy to relax with family and friends here. Definitely my go-to for a Mexican fix!

" Disappointed by my recent visit to El Perico. I had heard so many great things, but my experience just did not match those expectations. Service was very slow, and I felt completely ignored during a slow lunch hour. The food was decent but lacked the depth of flavor I expect from good Mexican cuisine. Maybe others have better luck, but I do intend to give it a second chance someday. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is by far my go-to spot for tacos! I love how they cook their meat—flavorful and tender! The prices are fair, and you definitely get a huge portion of food that leaves you satisfied. Not to mention they have fantastic lunch specials that make it even more appealing. The service is also quite quick compared to other places I've tried. Highly satisfied! " (*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*)
