Absolutely fantastic! You walk in and you hear great fun Mexican music playing; they have game machines and a super duper menu with many delicious items. It’s probably the most extensive Mexican menu I have ever seen in my life. It’s beautifully decorated with big pretty birds and very cute and chic decor. They are very kind here and fast with your order. A cheese quesadilla was only $3.16 in total. It was wonderful and full of thick cheese. They do not skimp here. They sell Mexican Coca Cola and many other drinks. Their food is absolutely delicious. It’s very authentic Mexican food and treats. When you walk in you are drawn to the warmth and flavor of the place and you immediately feel happy that you are here. They have ample parking outside with handicap spots and a place to eat outside, as well. Inside is a huge cavernous dining area with very nice seating arrangements. This is a must see, stop to enjoy truly Mexican glorious food.

My dad and I were in San Jose for a potential job. We wanted to grab something to eat before heading back home to Vallejo and this spot was the only one out of 10 places we had called and asked for a torta de milanesa and had it! So if you like milanesa and can't find it Taqueria Los Pericos gots you ! It was good reasonable price and when we picked up food the vibe at the restaurant was good it was still earlier lunch time but there were somewhat busy. And they have a chip and salsa bar which. I think it's a great bonus !!! I would definitely come back here and dine in !

This is my favorite taqueria in the area. The tacos are great, but also their burritos and enchiladas. We haven't tried other items. Ordering directly costs less than using a food-delivery app, even if you go pick up the food yourself. Prices have gone up, but that's everywhere. This is still a great deal for what you pay. Chips and salsa are free, so, it's a good option to hangout with family or friends (maybe not for a first date, unless your date wants authentic Mexican food)

Always busy because of the delicious food. Love the fish taco. I appreciate the grilled fish... Not batter-fried.

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants of all times. The quality of their ingredients are amazing and the food tastes unbelievable. The salsa bar is out of this world. The only thing I would change would be the Al Pastor meat. It’s pan fried meat instead of roasted with pineapple on a rotisserie ( the authentic method).

Fantastic Mexican food. I especially love their burritos but everything here is great. I can't recommend this casual place enough.
