    I had a really disappointing experience here. I ordered a vegetarian burrito, and I'm very strict about my diet. Unfortunately, the staff gave me a chicken burrito instead. I didn't realize it at first and ended up eating some of it before noticing. This is a serious issue, especially for customers who are vegetarian for personal, religious, or health reasons. Food mix-ups like this shouldn't happen, and there needs to be better attention to order accuracy and labeling. I hope the management takes this seriously and improves their process so this doesn't happen to someone else. Very upsetting experience.

    I was in middle when this placed first opened. And my brother still swears this place has the best burritos. We live in Long Beach now and he always talks about this spot, so when we went home to visit, he insisted we go to Los Pericos to prove a point lol. We split a super burrito with carne asada. Our sister got chicken tacos. The burrito was good and it did remind me why we used to go there so much lol. Service was fine. We didn't eat inside, just got it to go. But not too much about the place has changed which was kinda comforting to see.

    The meat is super tender and tasty. I enjoy how there's unlimited chips and a salsa bar where you can load up on sides. It's the burrito was a solid 7.5/10, Cabeza taco meat was really good but very oily/saucy that made the tortilla soggy. Otherwise the food here is pretty good and has lots of parking / seating on inside. Service was nice they bring the food out to you as well.

    My first time here... I like how they season their meat... light, so you can actually taste the flavors of the meat. You go to the front and order and seat yourself. Service was quick and the place is huge... they have 2 sections. And where else can you get free chips now??! They have a self service chips and salsa bar. I would have given 5 stars if the Pico de Gallo in their sauce bar was not spoiled when we got there. I do think the staff was already informed and was getting ready to replace it at that time...

    Hello Yelpers and Foodies in the know. I visited Los Pericos on 05-17-25. I wanted a little something to eat and stopped by this afternoon. The restaurant is Very Clean and the employees have are very Pleasant and attentive to customers and the service is quick. You order at the counter and get a Table Sign with a number and the food that we ordered came really fast. We had two steak tacos each with two Fountain drink. The restaurant has a Salsa Bar with fresh warm Tortilla Chips. The Fountain Drinks allows for refills. This is my second time eating here and both times were the same experience as far as food and Employees being exceptional. I recommend Los Pericos when you are in the area. Thank You for Reading. Reviews help Consumers.

    Food order and for the price you would think they would give you a warm meal.

    Today Sunday 12/7/25 at 7:05pm I ordered 2 Carne asada Tortas which wsd cold and 1 Regular Burrito Carne asada and the meat, rice and beans were cold I had never experienced this ever, it was horrible. I thought I was going to enjoy my dinner but was totally ruined. I called them and made a complaint, Ive been going there for years but now you can tell the quality of food has gone down, ever since they changed ownership. They really need to change their kitchen staff/Cooks because they dont put any effort in making quality food. Its sad for the paying customers and this gives Los Pericos a Bad Reputation. I will take a break from going there it was very dissapointing.for $53.41 you think you would get a hot meal.

    I haven't tried everything yet. I usually stick with the burritos enchiladas. Those are very tasty. Good size burritos. I love the free salsa and chip bar. Service is good. The food is made to order behind the counter but the customer cannot see it being made as you can in other taquerias. The staff is friendly. The restaurant itself has plenty of sitting off the main entrance.

    Large menu includes a lot of seafood options. Large seating area, good parking. Salsa bar for self serve chips and condiments.

    Pozole
    Peter O.

    This is my go to. This place serves pozole daily, and that is my comfort soup. Tender pork and hominy in a rich broth just his the spot. The staff is friendly, attentive, and inviting. They know my order at this point. I will always come back here.

    Don't order here if you are Black... save your money for people who respect you.

We were brought fresh tortilla chips to start, which were great, along with a Lazy Susan-style setup of salsas and toppings. Unfortunately, this was a bit of a miss for me--there were raw onions, raw jalapeños, a green salsa, and more of a plain red hot sauce rather than a true salsa. I would have preferred something more traditional like a good pico de gallo or a more balanced house salsa. Ordered a bottle of Dos Equis, which at $7 felt a bit steep. Most entrées were priced between $17-$25, which is pretty standard. I had the carnitas and they were excellent--really flavorful and well-prepared. I also tried a bite of the chile relleno, which was solid as well. Overall, the food was good and the service was strong. That said, it's a bit out of the way for me, and while I enjoyed it, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Not a lot of taco spots are open late at 10p but I saw that PNT was open. My family and I pulled into the driveway and were confused because it looked and sounded like a bar. There were a few people standing outside and I asked if this was a bar or restaurant and the gentleman said it's a restaurant. We walk in and got some stares because it was late and we had kids. Didn't matter to us. Everything on the menu sounded delish and they had al day breakfast items. We ended up going with the following: 1. Chicken sandwich- 10/10 my teen loved this. It was a crispy thinly sliced chicken breast with all the fixings, and pressed to perfection. 2. Chicken Caesar salad - 10/10 the lettuce was Romain, tossed in Caesar dressing and parm, with grilled chicken filet. 3. 4 tacos de asada - 10/10 yummy chopped steak, seasoned and grilled to perfection. I'm not sure if the evening chef cooks better or maybe we were starving, but the food was great! Ambience at the time was pretty loud but I figure it's because people hanging out in the bar area.
