Burritos, Taco Salad, 3 Enchiladas Plate
Salma S.

I had a great lunch at Taqueria Los Pericos! I ordered the taco salad, and I enjoyed it. My friends all loved their meals as well. The food is very authentic and flavorful, and the portions are extremely generous. There are also so many different menu options to choose from. As for the vibe, the place is a fast casual spot, and has nice seating - it's good for a quick meal. The service was good - the food came out quickly. I enjoyed my meal, and I'd recommend this place for a yummy, filling, quick Mexican meal.

How did I miss this place for such a long time?? We were looking for a quick bite and I'm so happy that a stumbled into this gem. I dare to say this place has some of the best tacos in East Bay. The tacos are loaded with meat, tortillas are freshly made and overall a very friendly staff. Will add this to my regular spots for my Mexican cravings

Still the favorite Mexican food spot in the area. The workers are always helpful and friendly. They're always busy. But, my corkers and I are able find a table when dining in. Especially in the back and it's not as loud as in the front. Came here for lunch and finally tried their carne asada super quesadilla. Full of ingredients and it was huge. I was only able to eat half. Which of course my son enjoyed having the other half when I got home from work. Always great service and food every time we come here.

I've been to Taqueria Los Pericos a few times and tried their carne asada burrito and various tacos which are pretty standard. Place is bustling with the locals and popular as portions are generous and offer a salsa/condiment bar. I love options! Tables available for dine in and no nonsense and casual. Order at the counter and food brought out. Overall, food decent for basic Mexican fare and would visit for other items. Unfortunately, doesn't satisfy my burrito craves. Plenty of parking in the Ace Hardware shopping center.

Los Pericos has been here FOREVER and it's usually pretty busy with eat-in and take out orders. Pretty decent menu and the portions sizes are good too. In my picture, you see it's a full plate. Stack on unlimited free chips and salsa, you get full. I'll say sometimes it's hit or miss on the food though. A couple times my chile was not cooked enough and the cheese was cold and not melted. These specific experiences were about a year or two ago. We came here last Friday around 6:30 and only waited 10 min to order and our food was ready in another 5 minutes. It was prepared well.

2 Chile Relleno Plate...comes with lots of corn tortillas. Ate half took the other half home for the next day

I have been coming here for several years and the food is consistently good. I have had several dishes but always comeback to my old standby- The chili rellano. The employees are always so nice and friendly. The restaurant is so clean. One of my favorite things is the salsa bar and the self service tortilla chips that are fresh and super crispy.

My favorite taqueria in Dublin. The service is always friendly and food delivery quick. The self serve chips and salsa bar is second to none. Plenty of choices of salsa, lime and radishes for anyone's desires. My super burrito wrapped tightly filled generously with al pastor, beans, sour cream and guacamole. With one serving of chips and half of my burrito was full and happy. I took my remaining half home. It will be a nice leftover. Always a nice meal to be had here.

My gorgeous regular nachos with beans added

Year after year, this is my very favorite Mexican restauran. The people that work there are great. The service is excellent. The food is beyond compare. The ambience is a typical Mexican restaurant so not a lot but I don't care. I love it anyway I love that. They have a salsa bar that you can get your own chips and salsa that doesn't stop me from ordering the regular of nachos every time! I love their burritos. I just love every single food I've ever had there best place ever.

These tacos were pretty good. I love the fact that they had a taco bar that provided all of your toppings. I didn't realize how big they were and accidentally ordered three when I more than likely could've settled for two. They give you a good amount of meatand I put cheese on top of mine. The Carne Asada was definitely flavorful and tender. I only complain while I was eating was hearing someone butcher frozen chicken on the cutting board in the back so it was a bit noisy but other than that the tacos were good.

The foods is yummy and big portion. The service is great. The place is busy and Jam Pack.

Camarones a La Diabla

Me and my bby were super hungry and was in the area. We were in the mood for Mexican food and stumbled across this place. We were a bit hesitant since we weren't sure if we would be satisfied based on the location. We were greeted right away and can sit wherever we wanted. He had to place our order at the register and they gave us a number and they would bring the food out to us. I was craving something spicy so I got camarones a la diabla and my bby got a wet red burrito. The food was ok nothing too crazy for us. At least we said we tried this place out and have an option on it.

My two asada tacos. So much meat and filling on it!
Cynthia W.

It was quite busy on a Sunday night at 9pm, but we realized it opens till 11pm so that is nice. You order at the counter and then they will deliver the food to your table. The worker was pleasant and helpful with helping us find a table because we thought it was so full. (There were also a lot of tables that needed to be cleaned/bussed) But he ensured there are extra tables in the back! There is a chips and salsa bar. The chips however were a lot of broken up pieces so that was sad. But the salsa was delicious. I love the orange salsa. Nice kick to it. I ordered two asada tacos. Wow, I was surprised with how much meat they put on it! Quite pleased. Worth the $3.50. My partner ordered a torta and he said he really enjoyed it. Lots of flavor and was very filling. We would come back again. I want to try the quesadilla next time. :)

I was a little skeptical of this place. It's pretty new in Dublin & so I was apprehensive to try…read moreit. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it. We had the nachos & burritos. My husband had the chile relleno burrito & I had the carne asada. They were both very flavorful & good portion of meat! The churro was good too! Great selection of salsa too ! All homemade. I got another Mexican place to go to in Dublin. One note though. They don't seem to have free water. I've never encountered this before & I believe California requires restaurants to provide this. Do what you want with this information.

ok - so I'll preface this with what I mentioned in my original review, which is that this place has…read morethe best salsa and I love pairing the Dorito pinwheel things with the green jalapeño creamy salsa. Now it gets weird. They ALWAYS used to include a mini cup of each of the salsas in my delivery orders. Last four delivery orders, they stopped giving the green jalapeño salsa. So because I love it so much, I specifically order an 8oz tub of it. Guess what they delivered? Not the jalapeño salsa but rather their other green one which is a garlic salsa. Could've reported it and received a DoorDash refund, but i left it alone. The last two deliveries, they also did not include the dorito pinwheels like they always do, so I drive there to get 'em. Even gave them $5 for something free, bc ya know - just helping a business out and the owner guy is nice and was apologetic. Now today, I was in the area, so i stopped in for a taco, agua fresca, a large bag of those pinwheel doritos and an 8oz tub of the jalapeño salsa especially because the salsa bar was empty and the other orange one i like was not made well this time. So watery yuck. The girl taking orders didn't seem like she was well versed in punching orders into their system. Took awhile for her to enter those 4 items I ordered and needed to grab one of the other staff to help her, but whatever - still tipped her 18%. Then, why in the world would they finish up my order then tell me they're completely out of the jalapeño salsa and then ask if I want an 8oz tub of another salsa? So at this point, it seems they're trying to do the same thing as when i ordered this specific salsa for delivery and hope i'll be ok with something else, right? It also looked almost performative when the girl opened the cabinet under the salsa bar looking for more jalapeño salsa before she told me they were completely out. I respond with "that's the only salsa I wanted. I can wait while they make more. can they make more?" she says no. twice. I let her know that I wanted to be refunded for the salsa and bag of dorito pinwheels. All of a sudden they magically found more jalapeño salsa. All of this to say I'm now absolutely convinced the staff is trying to hoard this specific salsa for whatever reason. Like i said, it's delicious, but not a reason to freakin hoard it for yourself when that's a reason your customers come back. I'll also add that the quality of the food these last two times around was no bueno. The amount of lengua and garnish in my taco was just sad. Literally, the taco I ordered today is the same taco I have pictured in my original review, but then opened it up when i got home and looked nothing like it did before. I've recommended this place to my coworkers and now I take it back and it seems the other Yelpers agree that this is no longer the place we loved. Definitely taking a break from this place. To the owner - I think when you're not there, your team is unfortunately letting you down and giving your customers a different food experience then what you provide and are known for.

Each time I've ordered here, the cashier has been kind and helpful when I had questions about their menu, they've even offered a bag for my to-go chips and salsa before my order was ready (that's rare!). Food could take a while, but in some ways I can understand because they have lots of dine-ins and take-out orders to fulfill. Recently they had $1 Tuesday Tacos for the month of March and I had to check that out. I ordered al pastor, carne asada, shrimp, and lengua. Out of those, only the carne asada tasted okay, the rest was overcooked and very dry with no flavor. Even though they're $1 each, the staff needs to know to anticipate a large crowd and have most food prepped ahead of time without compromising the quality and flavor. I only went one day because I was too disappointed by that visit. Not sure if they do this every year, but on 4/20 they had a $4.20 breakfast burrito special. It was posted on their IG stories and I happened to be in the area and picked one up. The burrito wasn't bad, definitely a decent size, and the meat was a bit better but it lacked flavor again. This place has been here for a while and I hope they can gain more customers while retaining their existing customers by improving the flavoring on their meats. Food Tip: - If you plan on visiting this spot, this place posts Instagram Stories of special promos/discounts for the day or coming up so I highly recommend checking that out! - Grab a bag or two of the delicious tortilla chips and salsa to munch on or to go.

Small place but good spot for food…read more The super nachos were dressed up with lots of salsa and guacamole. Lots of meat, very cheesy and well-balanced flavor overall. The carne asada was tender. The chips were crunchy. The california burrito was good, though a little thin on the fillings overall. The carne ranchera was tender and also came with onions and jalapenos. It was a good mix, and went well with their salsas. The coke bottles they have are huge, larger than the usual size I've seen at other places. Refreshing. The staff were friendly.

She loves mole, saw that they had mole tacos on the menu, and asked if they had chicken mole enchiladas. The owner, who was working the counter, said, "No, but I'd be happy to make you some." My wife said it was some of the best mole she's ever had, and now she won't go anywhere else. I always figure tacos are a good bellwether for how good a Mexican restaurant's food is going to be overall. Two Amigos' tacos are piled high with so much meat that it's hard to pick them up. I've had the pastor, carnitas, and carne asada, and they're all delicious. Their chimichangas are easily big enough to fill up two people; I usually eat half and take the other half home. Last night, I had a chimichanga with alambre, which is a meat option I'd never seen at a taqueria before. It's carne asada mixed with bacon, onions, bell peppers, and melted cheese, so I was intrigued, but I asked if they could make it with pastor instead of carne asada. No problem. Man, it was great, and big enough that I was stuffed to the gills and had plenty leftover for lunch today. Their salsas are outstanding. I especially love the orange one, which I assume is habanero even though it's not eye-wateringly hot. Great taste and respectable heat though. They also have a full bar with decent margaritas. I lived in Texas for almost 30 years and have been in California for 15, so I know good Mexican food, and Two Amigos does NOT disappoint.

They were good and bigger than I thought they would be. Definitely good for sharing, or even for a meal. They were a little dry, but they were topped with lots to goodies. I ordered the Shrimp Asados for my meal which was a fresh tasting grilled shrimp dish with veggies and quinoa... only they forgot the quinoa. After over an hour of waiting for it, I wasn't going to ask for some... not that I could as the waitress didn't really come back to the table that often. My colleague got the Mole Chicken and wow, that mole sauce was delicious. It also came with freshly made tortillas which made all the difference in that dish. The place was pretty big with outdoor dining and we were lucky enough to snag a table outside with very little wait... but ended up waiting a lot for the food. I think we were there for over 2 hours and left shortly after we finished our meals. Good food thought but man... figure out that service!
