$3 tacos $15 loaded baked potatoes. Service is friendly and I try to speak to them in broken Spanish. Sometimes the lady who does the payment is grumpy sometimes the lady is friendly. Lots of different salsas and toppings to try. I think the drinks are $7-10. I love this place. I have to drive almost an hour to get here but I try to time it out right if I'm in the area as they open at 6pm though they were serving people earlier one time so maybe they're flexible. The seasoning on both the asada and the pork with pineapple is amazing. They have the pork on the spinning thing so it's super juicy. The asada has a flat grill char. It's just so tasty. I tried the baked potatoes for the first time at this location and it was a little bland but they add packets of salt. I got home and added things to my liking and it's one of my favorite meals. I get it with carne asada. It can feed multiple people/ servings. The pina was delicious but I imagine it may get watered down throughout the night. Street parking only as they're on the corner of a Main Street. read more

Everything that I've had here so far is excellent I think the fact that they have five people working the stand tells you something and there's always a line... The first time I came here I had the stuffed baked potato , it had butter and then they put a ton of steak on it with all the fixings.... That was large enough for two meals, they serve it with some corn tortillas so you can make some potato tacos... they have a bunch of condiment that you can choose from and load up to take to go. Second visit we got the two tortoise for $15 on Tuesdays .... The tortillas were very tasty and the cheese skirt around it was interesting. They have an assortment of drinks I always get purple Mexican Jamaica drink... so good and plenty on their large serving. Everyone is nice the service is great , I highly suggest for anybody even if you're not a taco stand goer try this one, you will not be disappointed! read more

Lines are long because the food is good Burrito is big, asada was seasoned well and plentiful. Came with rice, beans, and salsa with a small amount of cheese. Thought it was a but dry....more salsa and or cheese would help that. Papa relleno was also very tasty. Got asada here too. Cheese here was also sparse. Compared to a couple of other places, they dont give a lot of tortillas with this. The prices are on par with some other places like this....on the higher end of that band. read more

The food is wonderful and of course fresh. You can watch them cook everything or slice off some al pastor that is cooking on the upright spit. Doesn't get better than that. Also enjoy the salsa choices and the other condiments they have. read more

I already know that this taco grill is going to be a problematic temptation. I pass by this stretch of Howe Ave after every nightly gym session, and the setup is impossible to miss between the bright lights, music, and line of customers waiting for their turn. The family-owned, traditional Mexican atmosphere is at an all time high and their tacos have the taste to back it. Even though I have yet to find an al pastor taco that I don't enjoy, these are unique. The meat comes in long strips since the employees slice it off a vertical rotisserie. Combined with the awkward size of the pineapple relative to the tortilla, things get messy when you try to take a bite. I can't complain about the taste though -- the tacos are juicy and the salsa is SPICY (coming from someone with a high spice tolerance)! I do get a little sussed out seeing so many people share the same ladles and tongs at the self-serve condiment section. Not a big deal for a couple of customers, but this place is always booming. Visit at your own risk. read more

You ever have a place exceed expectations that you didn't know were there? You ever know you'd be back before taking the first bite? Then you've probably been to Los Perrones. Don't be discouraged by the long line that forms on a random Howe Avenue corner of where Jack in the Box once was. The wait is worth it times ten. Instagram and Facebook reels brought to my attention a local taco stand serving up loaded baked potatoes the size of an adolescent child's head, piled high with some of the finest Mexican meats. So finally one Saturday evening the fiancée and I made the short drive to the Arden area. As we approached we could see bright lights illuminating a stand with a large crowd around it. I immediately seen the al pastor meat spinning around like a record baby. The crowd was pretty chill and the line moved quick. Made friends with another couple in line as we talked about our teenage kids and love for different area eats. Went with two suadero tacos, one asada and one pastor taco. They include grilled pineapple with each taco. My personal favorite was the pastor but all were amazing and reminded me of some of the better taco stands in LA I've been to! My lady got two asada tacos topped with shredded cheese. We split the main star of the show and what brought us here. Choosing asada as the meat that would be filling this Idaho potato. The cheese and char of the steak and tenderness of the potato, almost to a mash, make each bite better than the last. A must try for any foodie in the area. Plenty of drinking options here, definitely try one of their agua frescas. Don't be turned off my sketchiness of the location as some of the best food spots always require some type of obstacle whether parking or a long drive. I'll be telling friends about this spot, specifically my friend Jonny, who lives close by and would love to get his small hands on some authentic food like Los Perrones. read more

A friend had mentioned trying this place out all because they had a trompo so we decided to give it a shot. You know it's authentic when they offer buche and cabeza. We got a lengua burrito, a couple buche tacos, a couple al pastor tacos, an al pastor torta, and asada potato. All of the meats were on point and properly seasoned. Most places under salt but the lengua was amazing. The potato thing is HEAVY. it's definitely something to split. If they ask you if you want cheese, I would actually suggest skipping it as it makes it so much heavier and kind of takes away from the food. The salsa is proper also...not maximum tomatillo that just makes it sour. Pickled onions with habanero and jalapeños add a big hit of heat. Avocado salsa is kind of whatever. Maybe it's because everything is so well seasoned that it was underwhelming. Be prepared to get smoked the F out though. It's like being the pit master at a BBQ. I guess it depends on the wind, but wr got blasted and had to shower afterwards. Tacos were $3 a piece. Burrito is $13. Horchata is $7. Horchata is legit, made with actual rice, fully homemade. If you want real Mexican food, this is it. read more

I love coming back home to Sacramento because there are endless options for tacos and you can find a taquero on almost every street corner. Although I have my preferred local vendor , I still decided to pay Los Perrones a visit ! Yelp obviously never disappoints when it comes to food reviews, so I was excited to see the high ratings! The line wasn't too long when we arrived, and everything looked like it was being prepared fresh. I took a bite of my tacos and was very impressed by the flavor and texture of the asada! Unfortunately that was the only good bite I had. The rest were cold, hard , rock pieces and it was like that throughout my entire taco. The chicken was the same. I can see why this place is favored by many, but I think I'll stick to my regular vendor in town. read more

This is a fantastic roadside taqueria along Howe Avenue, just north of fair oaks, that is sure to bring you street food pleasures that will tickle your taste buds and bring your al pastor taco dreams to reality. They have a great assortment of condiments, salsas and beverages, the service is excellent and the ambience can't be matched because of the site location that takes advantage of a closed down fast food parking lot. Don't miss this place if you are looking for some great food! read more

If you're like me, I always crave tacos late at night and I guarantee you Los Perrones hits the spot. They seem to specialize in pastor so that's what I got; 4 pastor tacos (and one Asada) and one pastor burrito. The pastor tacos were amazing and flavorful. The pastor had a nice smokiness and char from the flame and it was paired with a good amount of sweet yet perfectly tart pineapple. The asada was also good snd flavorful but their pastor just stands out more. The pastor burrito was SO good. My favorite out of everything we got. I will say though that I wish they included pineapple in the burrito. The rice and beans were really flavorful and I really appreciate that the cheese is cooked onto the tortilla (some places don't cook their cheese and that is not my preference). I came here on a Friday night at 7:30PM and it was quite busy, waited in line for about 15 minutes but food came out ready in about 8 minutes and the staff were friendly. I will be back for sure. read more

Food was amazing there was a bit of a line they knocked down pretty quick at the Howe location on Tuesday . Everything was good except the lady working cash register, she was unwelcoming and acted like she didn't want to be there. She was on her phone between customers and had minimal interaction with guest, when she interacted seemed annoyed she had to. Would be 5 stars but cashier needs to go read more

I love these tacos. And their aguas frescas are also the best I order the fresa and horchata mix

One of the most incredible taco stands Definitely always a line and a bit of a weight, but it is well worth it Tortillas are made fresh on the spot which to me is the star of the show best alternative to a home-cooked meal Family that works. It is well experienced kind, friendly with the best recommendations. read more

Some of the best al pastor tacos I ever had. Came here on a Tuesday evening and there were about 8 or so customers. The line went by super quick. If you go on a Tuesday, they have their torta special which is 2 for $15. Great deal and the torta sandwiches are loaded. Also tried their baked potato which was loaded and came with tortillas which complimented it very well. Highly recommend this place. They are open daily from 5-12am. read more

I was recommended this spot by a coworker and stopped by to try their al pastor. They have it on the rod and carve it to order. The meat is super juicy and flavorful. A hint of sweetness from the pineapple. I got a burrito here and it was pretty good, the rice could have been better though but I do like the al pastor and the beans. read more

Long line the night we went but wait wasn't bad. Several people working. The take credit and cash. Went with a baked potato topped with pastor and three tacos. The meat on the potato itself was flavorful but the potato itself could've had some butter and salt added to it. Worth checking out and I'll definitely be back. read more

Found a penny from 1980 in my asada burrito???? Makes me question why is money being handled around the cooking area?? Nasty establishment meat is out in the open had a long line everytime I've passed so I thought they were legit seems to not be. I would never order from here again. read more

The best tacos I have had thus far. Me and my friend had been planning on going here and finally made it a point to go. The staff is very friendly and even gave us fresh pineapple. The line was long but it moved pretty fast. We got 40 tacos, yes 40! We fatties lol I recommend them to anyone who's looking for authentic Mexican street tacos. I loved their lengua , cabeza,‍ and tripa mmmm mouthwatering. If you're not experimental, stick to the asada and pastor those are top notch as well. read more

Found this place on instagram and I am super glad I was able to finally stop by! I dropped in around 7pm and there was a long line so be aware of potential wait times before you go. I ended up ordering an asada torta with everything on it and some Al pastor tacos. Let me tell you, these were hands down some of the best tacos and torta I've had in NorCal so far. They give you a lot meat and cheese and I was definitely full after eating the torta itself! I loved how the workers make everything in front of you and how polite they are. It's definitely cold at night so dress accordingly because you may wait a bit especially now during the winter. I definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great taco stand. read more

This was my first time stopping by and it was as good as I've heard. They have the typical tortas, tacos, burritos, militas but they have a unique addition baked potatoes that you can get loaded up taco style and they also do a soft cheese skirt on their tortas. You know a taqueria is legit if you can find the authentic meats Ike cabeza, lengua, tripas and suadero. I got one of each of those tacos with everything and they were all delicious. The cabeza was my favorite. The tripas were nice and crisp but I would have been happy with a bit more meat. The portions on all the rest were generous. The salsa and garnishes were all great especially the habanero salsa and spicy cucumbers. Though they were really busy they serve up everything with a smile. The Al pastor seemed to be a crowd favorite and cut to order. I asked for a sample and it was very tasty. My tacos were so good I ended up getting a torta to go to enjoy the next day. I had the Buche Torta and asked for the meat crisped up and they did it perfect. I could have eaten the whole copper Portland full of buche, it looked amazing! I do wish they used telera bread instead of the sweet Bolillo as it was a bit dense and throw the meat to bread ratio off a bit. I'll definitely be back! read more

Yuck yuck yuck! One of the most disgusting meals we have ever had and almost all of it went into the trash. Ordered $100 worth of food since we had company over and I had been following on instagram. The food looks NOTHING like their social media presence and is probably one of the worst Mexican food experiences I've ever had. We ordered a torta, carnitas quesadilla, carne asada burrito asked for crema/cheese, and 2 of every taco option they had. We tried to get a picadita which was posted on their instagram and they don't carry it at this location. Nothing came with the toppings we asked for so when we got home there were no onions/cilantro on any of the tacos, no crema/cheese on the carne asada burrito (we paid extra), and no lettuce, tomato avocado on the torta and no onions/cilantro/salsa on the baked potato. We were asked about all toppings and we said yes and their IG also shows that they are all made with these options. That massive crispy cheese for the torta and they roll all the ingredients in it? Yeah, not happening. Tasted no cheese in the torta or the carne asada burrito which is crazy for what they advertise in their videos online. All the meat was dry, the burrito was SO dry and the rice and beans were gross. I really don't get the hype on this place and the good reviews. The service was so chaotic and rushed. They all need to slow the f down and stop throwing things everywhere and getting in each other's way. They seemed so overwhelmed with a line of 8. The social media was a total bait and switch. read more

The food is really good here! Sadly I've been going several times and they're not there! I think they should say the real location so people don't waste their time. read more

My favorite tacos in sac hands down. Pastor on the trompo is amazing! Love the cabeza and pastor tacos here. Two tortas for $15 on Tuesdays is a steal. Things are massive! Tons of cheese I'll ask for less next time. Got the burrito for the first time and it's amazing! Self serve for salsas, onions, cilantro etc. great vibes here playing authentic Mexican music and there was a 25min line on an 100d weather day! Totally worth it. read more

I wasn't able to eat here due to a few concerns with how the food was being handled. All of the food and ingredients were touching in shared containers, and the grill didn't appear to be cleaned between different types of meat. Since I don't eat pork or beef, and cross-contamination is a concern for me, I decided not to order anything. My review is based solely on the environment and food prep practices, not the taste or quality of the food itself. This spot might work for others, but if you have dietary restrictions or prefer cleaner separation during cooking, it may not be the best fit. The area is quite dangerous with cars speeding around the corner without paying attention to their surroundings. read more

Able to stop by and try this street food. You can see lines meaning good food we tried carne asada taco, al pastor and tripa - they did good with marinations and grilling you can taste on a first bite. We got al pastor burritos too- very simple but flavorful. You can get any condiments you want on the side .. read more

Bring cash! Sometimes they have their prices listed and sometimes they don't. One taco is $3. I ordered 4. I paid with card and I was charged $12.48. If you want to save 4%, bring cash. The pastor is good and the asada is good. I wish they had a dispenser for the salsa instead of having it out in the open. It would be more hygienic if it was in a pitcher. read more

We've seen this spot on Howe Ave passing Northrope Ave on our way home several times. It's a brightly lit pop up canopy with a red top. It's on the corner you can't miss it! We finally decided to stop and try it on Tuesday. It did not disappoint, this spot is usually busy and definitely has regulars. The people who run this stand are very friendly and accommodating. They offer a range of Mexican street food staples: Tacos, Burritos, Tortas, Mulitas, and much more! They seem to run specials, not sure if these change weekly or daily but they're written in the plates in the center. You start on the left, give the cooks your order and then pay on the right. We got 3 tacos each, carne asada and al pastor and an horchata. The horchata was suuuper good super cinnamony and not chalky. They have a ton of different cuts and meats to choose from. This stand is definitely known for their pastor, with it getting cut fresh from the spit to order. The tortillas are also warmed up on the griddle fresh to order. Tacos are $3 a piece which I was like "UMMM?" but with the cost of meat and food these days and the fact that they honestly LOAD the tacos up with meat, it's not a bad price all in all. There's a whole table on the side available with toppings and salsas to take with you as well. read more

Over hyped. I ordered 5 Al pastor tacos and 1 burrito and it tasted dry. You know it's good when they have grilled onions and jalapeño. I gave her $40 for $28 and she couldn't give me change so she handed the credit card machine to use and I said no fees right and she nodded. Got my receipt and there was a convenience fee on there. I told her so but whatever... if anyone thinks it's good yall have not had good tacos. Not worth the 15 minutes wait in line !!!! read more

The baked potato with meat was ok the tacos no too good they are very small for the price also the orchata was warm and not flavor I threw it away the area is by the corner very near to traffic and not place to seat the sauces are old not coming back sorry read more

The absolute !!!!!! From burritos to bake potatoes or tacos you can't go wrong!!!!! I suggest you get there early before the line forms.

I don't get the hype around this place. Got some pork tacos and a carne asada (beef) quesadilla ($12). I enjoyed the quesadilla, although I don't think it stood out as being much better than any other place. I didn't care for the pork (fresh off the spit) at all. I thought it was a bit dry and I didn't like the flavor. I do like that they included pineapple, but it was only enough for like one bite per taco. read more

Best burritos in town? It just might be. Of course, I haven't eaten every burrito available in Sacramento. But of all the ones I've eaten, this is probably my favorite.

Looking forward to eating here again soon and trying the carne asada, which a friend told me is excellent. read more

Decided to take a drive to check it out based an reviews and pictures.
