    the interior of a fast food restaurant
    Stuart B.

    This place has earned my business in some ways. The free chips are a nice touch--who doesn't love that? They also have a great salsa bar with fresh pico de gallo, and their tacos are loaded with plenty of protein. I've tried several, including the goat taco, which was decent but a little chewy and had tiny bones. Their chicken tacos, especially the pollo and BBQ chicken, are excellent. That said, I'm giving three stars because the staff could be friendlier. Most of the time, they don't seem particularly cheerful or welcoming, and there's often a hint of attitude at the register. If they improved the customer service--being more polite, upbeat, and communicative--it would easily bump up to four stars. Parking can be tight since the lot is small, but overall, it's worth giving this spot a try. The food is solid, and you won't leave disappointed.

    What the hell is this? Que chingados es esto? My husband ordered 2 plates of huevos rancheros. He got one with red sauce and no tortilla underneath. The 2nd plate was 3 fkn eggs with rice n beans! All he told them was to not add extra onion on my plate. But looking at his plate 1st, I already was so disappointed and was afraid to look at my plate. I told him before he ordered that I didn't want anything from there and this is why! they shouldn't call his huevos rancheros. If I want over easy eggs, I could have made them my self and better. And where's the breakfast papas? This was a to-go order so we got stuck with it!

    Omg we came for some yummy tacos and I must say wow ! This place is pretty legit ! We got some tacos and burritos ! The tacos are good, slightly dry but they're good. Their Horchatas are not as sweet so it's perfect!

    Shrimp Fajitas

    Whoever the cook was on Sunday June 26, about 6 pm, the guy needs to get a raise! I've been going to Los Pericos ever since they opened their first taqueria in Pelton Center. I always get the same thing, super burrito with shredded chicken. I have since discovered Shrimp fajitas. OMG. HUGE portion, lots of shrimp, it's enough for three meals. I've had this before, (last time was a bit bland) but this time the seasonings on the shrimp were awesome. To other reviewers, if you really like the place, why do you only give it 4 stars?

    I come here all the time since it's walking distance from my house. Unfortunately their burritos have been lacking lately. They aren't wrapped tightly or steamed enough. The one I got today was 80% lettuce. And they stopped giving free chips and salsa with your order. Maybe I've just been unlucky the last couple of visits but hopefully they step their game back up. We'll see.

    There's a cabeza crispy taco hidden under that mound of lettuce.

    We go here for the mini restaurant...We don't really buy anything at the mercado. No frills ambience, but 5 stars for food quantity and taste. Solid, hefty options for your $s. Birria is great, chicken enchilada is delicious, and so is the lengua and cabeza. This spot is better than the other Los pericos locations. Covid masking is done by customers and staff, and hand sanitizers are available. Folks respect social distancing while waiting in line. You can eat inside but they've blocked off every other table, so space remains limited.

The only think did change is the price but the wouldn't stop me. You know how most places fall off after a while? Not this one. From day one to now, it's been straight consistency. The burrito hits every time no skimping, flavors on point. Honestly, it's more than just food at this point--it's a tradition. Hard to find something that stays this solid for two decades. Respect where it's due.

While the burrito was definitely "super" in size, the proportions were way off. It was heavily packed with rice and beans--which were fine--but they clearly skimped on the carne asada. When you're paying for a premium burrito, you expect the meat to be the star of the show, not a background character. It felt more like a vegetarian burrito with a few guest appearances by the steak. If you're looking for a massive meal and don't mind the filler, this hits the spot, but for those of us looking for a balanced meat-to-rice ratio, this one missed the mark. Hopefully, it was just an off day for the line cook.

    Was looking for a taco spot after an event in San Jose. I could've stayed in San Jose but the rain…read morewas super heavy and I wanted to go somewhere closer to home. 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. Definitely will be back.

    ‼Absolutely horrible tasting food that is ridiculously over priced oh my god. NOT WORTH MY $44 !…read more I got these food items: Asada tacos- 1/2 of the taco meat was just big oily chunks of fat, I spat it out immediately. Rest of it was tolerable to chew. Tortilla was dry and oily. Al Pastor tacos- bland meat with a lingering dry pepper aftertaste that makes the meat taste old. Took one bite and was immediately repulsed. Chips and dip (guac and salsa)- chips are oily and hard to chew. Guac was bland, no garlic or cut tomato. Salsa was a viscous sludge in a small tub, had the same pepper taste as the Al Pastor. Horchata drink- too much cinnamon and saw multiple lidded to go cups of this already made in the fridge behind the register, no expiration dates on them. ALSO PLEASE UPDATE THE PRICES ON YOUR MENU, I was charged $11.95 for the chips and dip but the menu says "house chips and guac $9.50" ... how is salsa $2.45? Only positive thing I would mention is that the free tiny salsa, slice of lime, sliced radish, and pickled jalapeño and carrot was nice of them. Wish the pickled veggies didn't drip vinegar all over the bag (it was wrapped in tin foil). Never been here before and never coming back again.
