This is not Pericos Mexican grill now it's called Juan's. Most of the staff is rude and it is the worse Mexican food I have ever eaten. The refried beans and the rice had no taste except for salt. The shrimp chimichanga was horrible, they used the smallest shrimp I think u can buy in a frozen bag. The shrimp had no taste, no seasoning and taste like they were boiled instead of cooking on flat top. The inside of it had no onions, no peppers nothing but American cheese and a small cup of queso they threw a couple jalapeño peppers in to pour on top. I won't be going back read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE their stuffed jalapenos and their salsa. I live in Gulfport but drive all the way here. No one else around has stuffed jalapenos like them. They are FABULOUS!!!!!!! read more

My husband & I picked up lunch from here to compare to the other restaurants in town. It's a clean place. The people were friendly when placing our To-Go order. The food came out fast, within 8-10 minutes. The order came out correct. The price was extremely reasonable for lunch (compared to the other restaurants), right under $10 with tax for a plate. Overall Nice people, the food tasted pretty good. It is a much smaller plate compared to the other Mexican restaurants in the area but a value for the price. read more

Very attentive staff. Superb portions. Well worth a visit. Pericos is as good as any Mexican Grill, Cantina or restaurant in any city, large or small, I have fever frequented. Food fresh, hit, tasty, and more than ample portions . read more

Eh not the best food actually only 2 of our party of 5 liked their food. Was out first time so we know. Not that the food was bad but it's not the kinda Mexican food we are used to. 2 stars for the strong AF rainbow margaritas. You should stop and determine if you like the flavor. Great service read more

I got the fajita quesadilla with grilled shrimp and wasn't the biggest fan. The service itself was really good. Friendly and very, very attentive. It was really quiet in there, I felt I had to whisper lol. Overall, it was a good vibe. I don't believe I'd ever go back. read more

We orders the classic enchiladas and a number 14. Which is burrito, enchilada and chile poblano for 9 bucks. Had plenty of rice and beans with enchiladas meal. It was DELICIOUS. Chips and salsa were also good. Unfortunately we were just passing through and will not have a chance to return soon. But if we are back in town, we would definitely stop here again. read more

To start, this place is not easy to find unless you know it's there. They need a better sign out front, in my opinion. But, if you want a good meal, it's next to an easily recognizable red-roofed pizza place so give them a try. Tons of flavor, wide menu selection with fair prices and a friendly staff. Hard to ask for more than that. The chips and salsa must be made on site as they were very fresh and flavorful. We were there for lunch on a Sunday so the weekday specials were unavailable, but it's good to know they have them. Do yourself a favor and get the fajita quesadilla. In chicken, steak or shrimp, this thing was amazing. Unlike most that are half circle, it was a full circle shape that reminded me more of a Mexican pizza. It was, however, the best one I can ever remember having. Loaded with sautéed onions, tomato, and peppers, it was the perfect combination all those ingredients with a bit of cheesy goodness in a crisp tortilla. Indoor seating was comfortable and well spaced in the midst of the rules for COVID and the server didn't let a drink glass get empty. It's a popular place for students from nearby MS Gulf Coast Community College, Parkinson Campus, and I can understand why. read more

Great Tacos Mexicano/street tacos. Service and price were excellent. Definitely recommend.

This place is great! Some of the best beef fajitas I've ever had...and I'm a Texas girl. Grab a pitcher of top shelf margaritas and ENJOY!

Food was great to be honest servers were very kind and friendly and also treated us very well if anybody is coming to eat here I would as this was one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ate at read more

First time eating here and the food and service was great. I ordered the Shrimp Quesadilla and it was so full of shrimp..close to 2 dozen. There was no way I could eat it all. It was delicious! ..and it was fresh. Don't listen to these nasty negative reviews ..an intelligent person knows everyone has a different concept of what is good and bad. Go and try Perico's for yourself..we will definitely be going back. read more

Pericos by Juan’s - Salad Near Me - Wiggins, Mississippi

I have tried all three of the Mexican restaurants in Wiggins and Pericos is by far the best in both terms of food quality, friendly service, and affordable prices. My wife and I are regular patrons here! read more

The service was really slow, I can only assume they were short staffed. Food wasn't great, but it was good, and the salsa was really good.

Upon arrival, girl behind the counter was to busy playing on phone to recognize I had come in. Waited 10 minutes until someone from kitchen staff let her know I was there. I told her only 1 item and she took off as I wanted to order several items. Taco salad was good and the 6 soft Taco's were steak, beef, and chicken and they were good but had no tomatoes or cheese on them just lettuce. For $28.00, seemed a little high. Decent but nothing to write home about. read more

Always good food. Family friendly atmosphere. Always comes to the table to make sure you are pleased with the food.

This is my favorite Mexican spot when I pass through! Their cheese queso dip and quesadillas are the best

My families favorite Mexican restaurant. Excellent food and even better service. Best salsa I have had. Delicious cheese dip. Believe it or not some places even mess up the cheese dip however Pericos always has the best cheese dip and salsa. Warm fresh chips. Great service. Excellent food. Everything we have had at Pericos since they opened has been delicious and satisfactory. The steaks and potatoes are delicious as well. Give Pericos a try and stop in if you are in the area it is definitely worth the stop! read more

I give Pericos a four star just because it's in Wiggins, MS let's just say Wiggins is not known for their Mexican Food! The service is excellent! Don't even bother ordering an appetizer because the wait isn't long. The downfall - they don't serve Margarita's. read more

Local gem that we found on accident. Food is great. Service is great. Great price for the amount of food served.

Very nice to see an outside ethnicity be able to come to conservative south Mississippi and have such a thriving place. Love the Pericos fajitas and steak and shrimp! service is always great and very friendly. I don't always come to Wiggins but when I do.... I prefer Pericos! gracias amigos read more

I only came in here to get to bean burritos for carry out to take back to my hotel next door. The guest greeted me, answered my questions and was very friendly. I got my burritos very quickly and they came with a bag of chips and some salsa which I did not expect but definitely enjoyed. The burritos were a little thin but they tasted great. I'd definitely get the beef next time since it's the same price and may be more filling. The place looked pretty good inside. Obviously they had Mexican decorations and music playing. It looked bigger inside than I expected when I saw it outside. I'm not sure why they close so early because I would think they would get guests later from the local hotel. I also noticed they state on here that they only have beer and wine but I saw liquor as well on their menu. If I was ever to visit Wiggins again, I would definitely stop here to actually sit and have dinner and a drink or two. read more

Excellent food and great service. Love the staff. Very clean. Very friendly. Best steak around. Love their grilled chicken.

We used to really enjoy this place before they changed locations. Since changing locations, the first thing we noticed were the portions became smaller. The food was still good then. Now the staff acts like they are doing you a favor by being there. The food is just okay. The atmosphere sucks! The last time we were there a female staff member started sweeping the floor with a broom right by us while we were eating.... Gross. read more

I must say that I've had way better Mexican food. Tacos are my favorite food of all time. I figured I would just make my tacos at home and order a taco salad. My husband and I both ordered one. They weren't very good. The salsa was ok, but not exceptional. The service was pretty sub par. The kicker (no pun intended) was the MMA fighting was on all the TVs. What a disgusting thing to have on at a restaurant. You know, the beating one another to a bloody pulp. Jus sayin ‍. I will not be going back. read more

My favorite food is Mexican! I love Mexican food more than any other food, but this place has not a clue on how to season their meat! I say season, it's more like no seasoning at all!!! When I eat a burrito I expect it to burst with flavor! Nothing, nothing at all from Pericos! Please, please SEASON YOUR MEAT!!! I have eaten at a Mexican restaurant every Friday night for the past 22 years now and now I'm going to have to quit because I can not stand it anymore! I refuse to eat and support this restaurant until the time they will season their food! read more

Was extremely underehelmed with the food. Drinks were high, 4.99 for a very small watered down margarita, beans were out of a can warmed up in microwave, rice had no flavor, the beef in the chimichangas was the only thing seasoned decently. Salsa was watery and bland. Would not eat here again. read more

Another review from me-Pericos now has street tacos that are fantastic. I ordered the lunch combo and got a chicken taco, asada (steak) taco and a tacos al pastor (pork with pineapple). The al pastor was my favorite. The combo came with rice and beans. I highly recommend the tacos al pastor. read more

Good food. and friendly service. They have a good verity of food on their menu. Prices are competitive to other Mexican restaurants. Size proportions are good too. Would give five star if the restaurant was a bit larger. read more

This was hands down the worst "Mexican" food I have ever eaten. Taco Bell puts together a tastier dish than this place. From their smothered, soggy beef to their instant mix guacamole, this joint is sure to disappoint. I wouldn't feed this to my dog. Not to mention the theme....... A Mexican/BBQ shack with pictures of Washington D.C. and miniature golf clubs on the wall..... I am quite puzzled. Don't waste your time with this place. Head up the road to Gulfport where the food is at least somewhat edible. read more

Excellent food and the best Mexican in Mississippi south of I20. Friendly service but English is certainly a 2nd language so make sure to order carefully. I recommend the perico's taco salad. read more

What happened to the good food??? The quality of their food has declined since moving into the old Burger King building. The EXPRESS LUNCH Menu was a good deal with all meals on express menu costing $5-$6. But in the past 2 years the prices have gone thru the roof. Last month 4 of use ate from the Express Lunch Menu, 2 Taco salad entrees and 2 Burrito entrees. 2 had tea and 2 had water. The bill was $53. This is double the average price we paid in 2015. And the food is more the pre-processed type, unlike the homemade authentice Mexican food they were known for? The ownership has not changed hands, but the did change the prices and quality!! read more

I think the food here is very good. They use high quality cheese, which makes a huge difference. Service is great. The servers are very attentive. They are also fast so it's ideal to stop in for a quick lunch! Deserts are yummy too :) read more

Hours are 11:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. 10:00 p.m. on Sunday. There was nothings whatsoever to complain about. Excellent service, excellent food. I am totally satisfied. read more

This restaurant was disgusting, don't bother eating here it was horrible service, horrible food. And it was pricy

This place is ungodly disgusting. Mexican and BBQ? With a terrible atmosphere and not a single fresh item on the menu. If you have never been outside of Wiggins and have no idea what good Mexican food is, you might enjoy it. For those of us with taste buds, don't eat here. read more

My family and I eat here at least once a week. We love it. Very nice staff, good prices. The fajitas and shrimps tacos are awesome!

There aren't many diverse places to eat in a 30 mile radius of Wiggins, MS, but if you want authentic Mexican, you want to go to Pericos! They have amazing food, and my family has had basically everything they have on the menu. They are almost always busy and have a steady flow of customers but they always accomodate to get their customers comfortable. The only slight draw back is that they are a bit pricey, though most Mexican restaurants are. I highly reccomend Pericos. read more

Tasty food, very good service & large portion size for the price. Perico's is not your run of the mill Tex-Mex establishment. I can't believe this gem is tucked in our tiny little town! read more
