Look at the picture I choked and coughed up this tooth pick while driving after getting a #16 almost had to stop in the middle of coors to pull this out the back of my throat. I am so disappointed I'll never for get this I've been coming here for years. For the manager to say it's happened before because they make tacos. It's a breakfast burrito where the he'll would a tooth pick come from we know where it ended up. Almost killing me in my eyes. read more

Best chicharon burrito ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Friendly staff, great food, clean place. Did I also mention they have the best chicharon burrito! read more

You can tell how good they are just by how busy they get even on weekdays during lunch. I've eaten here a few times, and absolutely love the way they do their relleno burrito. Their dessert sopapillas are also good. I don't care too much for how they do their beans and rice when you order a plate. They both could use a little more flavor. The green chile is delicious. If the meat is a little bland, say for the taco salad, the red sauce you can add really fills in the flavor well. This is a place worth returning to. read more

The burritos in NM are different from the California style burritos I usually get. I got addicted to the chicharones burrito with green style. The chicharones was crispy and not soggy or chewy. We ate here a couple of times when visiting my sister in in Albuquerque. Service was very good! read more

Nice cheap burritos and tacos. Simple and terrific. This location is a family run spot...you get a mom and pop feel to this New Mexican "semi" fast food spot. I got the Red Chile Shredded Beef Burrito and it did not disappoint. Would definitely get again...but next time I gotta try the tacos. Saw a lot of people with the tacos and they looked unreal. read more

Man haven't been here since college by the UNM location. Decided to try this location on coors! Awesome chicken tacos! Definitely worth trying and figuring it out on your own. read more

Good little spot. Love their chicken tacos and their carne adovada rolled tacos/taquitos.

This was horrible service. I am disappointed with the fact they had the phone disconnected and weren't taking to go orders since 4. i had been calling since then. absolutely no answer and i came in to see the phone was disconnected. read more

Perico's Albuquerque - Pericos - - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I don't know if this location has a different owner but the service has gone to crap. My coworkers and I order from here like twice a week and they have always got our orders right. This past week they got it wrong and had a bad attitude when we brought it to their attention, and it was the owner!! So I can understand orders being messed up but for the owner to come back with an attitude I don't agree with, the most important thing I want to say that upset me the most was that when they put lettuce tomato and ranch on an order that never ever came that way before and when we went back the manager took off the lettuce tomato and ranch and wipes the enchilada with a paper towel and gave it back to us like that, to me that's so unprofessional. I will never go back to this location again read more

It's my second day in Albuqurque. I'm a huge fan of green chile and NM is ground zero for the best green on the planet! Tried out Perico's for lunch. Got the #2 green chile combo burrito. Simply awesome! The green chile has an awesome flavor. Decent size burrito. Liked their green chile much more than the green chile I experienced in my first Albuquerque dining experience at Bob's Burgers. Will definitely be back here. And something simple that I like and appreciate about Perico's, the soda dispenser. One of those Coke kind that has numerous selections! Good food, good service and a huge soda selection! read more

YOU. HAVE. TO. COME. HERE. The best tacos I've EVER had in my life. They make everything in house and it's just so damn good. Get the beef tacos - you will not regret it. read more

Real quick review to tell you that the smothered chicharrone burrito is off the hool with red or green but my favorite is the 6pack of tacos!.....mmm mmm goood!. ..love the shredded beef ones but the beef and potatoe ones are very good also and theyll even let you mix and match them.. ..i usually get a side of beans to eat with them also and it juat adds to the goodness...cant tell you alot about the rest of the menu cause im so stuck on the tacos....highly recommended by this guy! read more

Man I used to love this place. The food was always excellent, the prices were good, the salsa was hot. Haven't been in a while and I was in the area yesterday and stopped in. Service was ok, guy at the register was rushed and acted like it. Just wanted me out of the way for the next person and it wasn't even busy. Noticed the price of a 6-pack of tacos went up....again. Cost me $17 for 6 tacos and a drink to share with my hubby, ridiculous!! Got out food after about 10 minutes and let me tell you the food sucked! There was hardly any meat or anything in the tacos, mostly they were filled with nothing. The salsa wasn't hot, like maybe they forgot to add Chile at all. I was so disappointed. I've been eating here for more then 10 years, it's my go to for great reasonably priced tacos and salsa. I'll go back and give it another try but if the next visit is anything like this one then I won't be going back which just plain sucks! read more

Perico's Albuquerque - Shredded beef taco filled with almost nothing! - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I ordered tacos (papas con carne) the shells were stale and the burrito was a lot smaller then the Albuquerque central location. I prefer that location but I live in Rio read more

Perico's is just the right place for "antojitos" shredded beef taquitos or flautas are delicious! The plate with beans well cook and the flavor that you would like some more and why not to take home , this is just one of many options!, In the burritos department has a very Tasty menú ! You just peak one! And go down the list for everyday of the week I know the place for over 17 years now and can always look better but the place is always very clean Just,...I would love to get breakfast much earlier than 9am read more

BLAND. SUPER BLAND. Not one thing was seasoned - not the beans, not the beef. Terrible. Just throw some salt in there! Something! Every one was very nice, but it doesn't make up for how tasteless the food was. I couldn't have the sauce because it was so spicy it burned my tongue for a while after tasting it. I'm from Southern California, the Mexican there is so amazing, I guess I've just been spoiled. I do not recommend. read more

Husband and I couldn't get a table at Cracker Barrel so we decided to go to our favorite place pericos. I had a carne adobada burrito and my hubby had a chicharrón burrito. Food was good. Tables were not recently cleaned so we just used our wrapping for a placemat. I went to the bathroom before we left. The bathroom is a single men/women. The bathroom was worse than any filthy hole in the wall I've ever seen! Toilet was Disgusting!!! Feces and pink bacteria was the view. Holes in the wall where they had moved the toilet paper holder. No soap! And the roll of paper towels was sitting on the edge of the sink! I had previously seen an employee go in to the bathroom. I assume she used the facilities! There is no soap!!!! What the heck is going on there? I didn't see ladies in the back wearing gloves as they shredded a gigantic wheel of cheese. The bathroom floor was filthy and the bottom of the toilet had urine and dirt. I wanted to throw up! I asked to speak to the manager and the young cashier said she wasn't there yet! The health department needs to shut this place down! No ifs and or buts! As long as I'm alive I will never eat there again! So sorry if this is your favorite place! No soap! Couldn't believe it! read more

Fantastically authentic. I'm originally from southwest Arizona, and since leaving home I've endured Tex-Mex, which seems to be what is most offered through the US. Occasionally I've found to my delight places like Perico's. I had a mixed green burrito with pork. I was surprised it wasn't too salty, as pork can easily be. I also had beef flautas. These weren't too greasy and were stuffed with plenty of meat. The salsa was wonderful. My only complaint is that I don't live in Albuquerque, was only passing through. Next time I do I'll be sure to look them up. read more

While the food here tastes good, STYROFOAM, REALLY? I ate about 6 or 7 burritos here before ordering a chili relleno, which requires a plate and silverware. I was appalled when the food came out on styrofoam and was served with just about the chintziest plastic utensils imaginable. Not only did the styrofoam come off the plate and get in the food, the "knife" was so unstable as to wiggle the entire plate around while trying to get a piece off. Come on Albuquerque! Step up your game. Respect the environment. Use real silverware and even plastic plates that are reused over and over. Also take a hint from Portland, OR's Los Gorditos, who has (along with the carnivore's menu) a complete vegan menu, which makes them a KILLING and is super DELICIOUS. And they serve it with metal knives and real plastic plates. Like a real restaurant. read more

Perico's is ALWAYS a good decision. Staff is friendly and food never disappoints. The establishment is always maintained well and clean, service is prompt and professional. Gotta love Perico's read more

My wife told me to rate 5 stars so here you go haha! Seriously though it is her favorite local place and we have been a few times. The food is good and cooked to order. I enjoy the salsa and the spice level. Get the Chile Rellenos!! read more

The food is good here. Nothing extraordinary service is sort of slow. Trying to get somebody to understand what you're saying can be a hassle. But if you want a decent Burrito on the go and you have a little time to give come and try it. read more

See all

At this point, the ho-hum outweighs the delicioso in my experience with this spot, but the next time I'm around I'll give Ellen J's six-pack-o-tacos a shot, even though she is from Austin. Actually, that's a credit to her, I dig Austinites, but like most New Mexicans I'm more than a little cautious of advice from a Lone Star palate. My first visit was quite favorable. I had a green chile chicken burrito for lunch, and I remember really liking it. It was one of those experiences where you bite into a pit of cheesy goop where the chicken sort of mangles with the beans and the whole mess ends up on your unshaven chin and many, many napkins are required. I thought it did the trick. Visit dos: my fault. Acting with pure naïveté, I tried a fish burrito, not because I had a craving but because I'd been doing the episcaterian gig for a long stretch and it was the only safe item on the menu. It wasn't exactly safe, it turned out. The fish was... well, fish, the essence of fish enveloping the entire ordeal. I managed three bites. Last weekend: I'm only barely recalling the breakfast burrito, it wasn't anything worth committing some brain cells to, apparently. The bacon was stringy, thin and weak, I think the green chile passed the test, but the pinto beans messed up the synergy. As a general rule, I think it proves that some places should stick to their strengths. Perico's is more artistically inclined with Mexican - not New Mexican - cuisine. One final plus. I've always enjoyed the employees working here. There's a family-run vibe to the bunch, and often you'll find various generations working hard in the kitchen, crafting a product they're clearly proud of. The facility is clean, too. Three stars at this point, worth further exploration. read more

Ok so I love tacos... Like not sure anyone understands how much I love tacos. I could eat tacos 7 days a week, breakfast, lunch, and dinner so let's talk tacos: They fill the soft corn tortilla with meat, then fry, then fill with cheese, lettuce etc. result is greasy, un-healthy yum. Please don't eat these every day because our health care system would collapse. Tacos are worth the once and a whole splurge. Salsa also has a nice bite. Those who detest cilantro will not like it because it has been fine chop and impossible to remove the cilantro. I think it's good. If the burrito tortillas were better I would give 5 stars. read more

I just ordered from this location for the first time on Grub Hub. Now Grub Hub needs to work in their website, however when I called the young lady was so amazing to me that from now on I will call after I order and got it right. Thank you Pericos for being the best at cooking NM Mexican food and phenomenal customer service! I have been a loyal, any time I have extra cash kinda customer. I choose you over any other! read more

Big burrito grande. Solid red sauce, meat seasoning just ok. Chips are straight out of the bag...too bad not homemade. read more

Perico's Albuquerque - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I recommend this place. I live in RR so I typically visit the golf course location. It's fast, convenient and great tasting. I would have given a five star review except I had to ask to have a table wiped down. It's a pet peeve of mine to see employees standing around talking to each other when there's side work that always needs to be done in restaurants. When asked for the table to be cleaned, the male cashier apologized and came to wipe a table for me and my children. read more

Perico's Albuquerque - 6 pack of shredded beef tacos with salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I went here with my sister last week before a concert. It was packed for a Thursday's night which is a good sign. We ordered the Coconut special with a chicken burrito, and fish taco. She also ordered her son a tostada. We got the chile on the side and it only came with two tiny portions so we had to ask for more. Everything was pretty good. Not the best though. We ordered Sopapillas on the side which were HUGH and delicious. Both my sister and I agreed that if we were to go back we would just get a stuffed Sopapillas with beans and rice smothered with red or green. Both chiles were excellent. read more

This is my absolute favorite place to get tacos! I get half chicken, half shredded beef and I'm so excited to get home, open up the box and dig in. I imagine it's the same feeling my dog gets when he smells meat. The tacos are deep fried and topped with cheese, lettuce and the best taco salsa these taste buds have ever had the pleasure of tasting. (Can you tell I love these tacos?) I'm not sure about the rest of the food because I always get tacos but the menu looks good and if the tacos are any indication you likely won't be disappointed. Yay, tacos! read more

What can I say. As long as they don't change the way they make Chicharones I'll keep coming back! Good food and friends staff! read more

Perico's Albuquerque - The best!! - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

There's nothing fancy or gimmick-y about Perico's. They are the typical hole-in-the-wall dive joint that has all your favorite New Mexican food. The main difference this place has over most other places is that it tastes better than most. They deep fry their tacos and they make some ridiculously good burritos. If you haven't had them you should definitely try them at least once. I recommend the #7 chile relleno stuffed burrito (my favorite stuffed burrito in town) and the 6 pack of shredded beef tacos. I also recommend that you bring cash. For a while they had issues with credit card machines. I think they changed systems but they add a small surcharge for credit card usage now. Boo. I know. read more

This is a nice small Restaraunt with friendly service and quality food. Television to watch if your alone and a monster selection of soft drinks. I enjoy the daily specials but my favorite has to be the sopapilla burrito. I also recommend the coconut special combo plate. Tons of food for a low price! read more

Perico's Albuquerque - Bean and cheese sopapilla burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Its not bad but the carnitas are in chunks and not shredded. Sopa de res has a tasty broth but the veggies and meat are not soft enough.

Worst service ever.wasnt greeted, just stood there waiting for someone then I placed my order. He asked what vehicle I was in then waited over 20 minutes. I went back in and they lost my order so I received my refund and left. I can't say what the food tastes like because I didn't want to wait another 20+ minutes for 6 tacos. read more

Really good, big burritos. Quick service for lunch. Red, green or Christmas you can't lose.

Food is amazing! Best tacos, red chili and salsa!

It's good. The carne Adovada is usually very good although some days it's like they forgot to drain the grease. I haven't found a bad burrito here yet, don't expect too much, it is not complicated, get in line, order, eat and move on with your day. read more
