Came here for lunch during the week and was seated immediately. They brought out chips and salsa to start out with. You can tell the chips and salsa didn't taste fresh and were possibly store bought. I ordered the chicken quesadilla, which just came with chicken and cheese. The large was about $9 and it was definitely huge. I was disappointed it didn't come with any sort of sides like sour cream, guacamole or pico de gallo. I would've enjoyed some fajita veggies added in here to amp up the taste. There wasn't too much to it and wasn't the best in my opinion. read more

The tortas are excellent. Menudo and caldo the res were delicious. Margaritas are cheap and strong.

Cute little casual standard Mexican restaurant, with great service and edible food. It was very clean inside and service was prompt. The ladies we had helping us were extremely sweet and on top of it, they were always around if we needed anything. Pretty standard pricing, my sister and I got cheese enchiladas for $12 each. They were absolutely SMOTHERED in cheese, I love cheese but it was almost inedible until moved the top cheese off. The food was good but not mind blowing or the most delicious thing I've ever had. It had me feeling like I had a brick in my stomach for like 5 hours after but what else was I expecting with a huge portion of enchiladas, rice and beans? The salsa with the chips was really good and they give you a very generous amount limes to squeeze on your food as soon as you sit down. It's a straight forward, basic Mexican restaurant conveniently right off the highway, that's really all there is to say. read more

The flour tortillas in house made and store bought are the worse the food itself is good the tables are wiped with musky rag and are greasy dark read more

Ordered this for take out one night during my week in Houston. Taco platter wasn't cheap and it wasn't great either. The other night I had tacos from a truck & I was far better off. Disappointing. read more

I only came here because it was close to the area I was in and it was convenient at the time. $18 for 3 tacos, a soda, and chips & salsa. The quality of food was not worth it. The meat was tough and super hard to chew. The chips and salsa were okay. Service is decent. They are polite, but a little slow in tending to you. Overall, I do not think I would return here. read more

Ive been coming here with my family for years. The one time I get a bad plate with hair half way eaten, the manager (older guy) can't provide good customer service! He rather argue with the customer and make smart remarks than help a customer feel satisfied and happy. He didn't offer to switch the plate or offer me anything else . Horrible experience read more

Happy Hour - Monday through Friday 3pm- 9pm. $5 large margarita $3 domestic beer & $3.50 imported beer. The food was descent but the green salsa was so spicy! Lover their breakfast tacos but still want to try their soups. So many people ordered soups. read more

Woman are amazing and very sweet.. Food is amazing and I just live eating here with my family.

This place reminds me of an Arandas, but with quicker, friendlier service. The food and setting are just about the same. I enjoyed the Fajitas off the sizzle plate, though I would not recommend the shrimp add on. The flautas and burrito are also tasty. The margaritas are smooth, but strong. If you need a quick bite at a bargain, or just want a different Mexican spot, give this place a shot! Update: added a 4th star after remembering how good the green salsa was. read more

My husband and I have been going to Perico's for 20+ years. It is always good and reasonably priced. I love the green sauce that is served with the chips. I could drink it up it's so good. Since we live out of state now, we bought a container of it to take home with us. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Bad service Fajita had nothing but fat and grease Stay away read more

I went there and ordered the shrimp the next 3 day's were a nightmare. I lost 2 day's of work because of food poisoning. So in total that shrimp plate cost me $510.00. Heck seafood can kill you be careful. read more

Well usually this place is decent but tonight just wasn't the night... not sure why but the fajita (small portion..smh) tasted weird and the chicken is bland, I expected better the rice and sides came out a lot sooner than the main dish and when it did come out there was barely any fajita in it, won't be coming back, usually came for the burritos guess not anymore... host was decent but the fact that we didn't eat once piece of fajita and sent most all the food to include the cold rice back and still charged for most the food disappoints me, should have gone to whataburger last time ever here..... update woke up in the middle of the night with diarrhea read more

Perico's - Supposed to be fajita and chicken - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great service and good. The flautas are amazing . The place has a great ambiance familiar.

Ambiance is laid back. Tlalpeno soup is the best soup around, hands down. They also have the best pica green sauce ever! If they bottled it, I would buy it regularly. I had their street tacos and they were a little too fatty for me. The margs are great and the owner is so nice. Mexican coke = YUM! read more

I'm surprised that Perico's has a 3 star rating. I really am. My dad and I just went there for breakfast. The food was really good and authentic. You do have to know a little Spanish, but if you're not turned off by that, go try it out. The first thing I look at in a quality Mexican restaurant is the salsa, and they've got good salsa. The red salsa was chunky and not overly tomato-based, and the green salsa was as good as any taco truck salsa verde that you would find in Houston. Not as spicy as some green salsas that I've had, but tolerable for most people. We both got the Desayunos Pericos, which is chilaquiles, eggs (we got them over-easy) and refried beans, which you can get with beef or chicken fajita. Delicious. The beef could maybe be a little thicker cut, so that it doesn't get too tough, but other than that, great flavors and properly cooked eggs and chilaquiles. The refried beans were really well done. I usually have to add salt to my refried beans at other places, but not here, and they were also not runny. Unpopular opinion alert: I think that with some restaurants, particularly Mexican, you have to eat what they are good at to get the best experience. It's a bit unfair to say that one restaurant is bad because their Tex-Mex food is average, when their authentic food is the reason you go there. A lot of the Tex-Mex dishes in many Mexican restaurants are on the menu to appeal to the gringos, while the Hispanic community wants the authentic food. This is not meant to sound degrading, but I've ordered food from a restaurant based on the culture of people that are sitting at the tables or waiting the tables. If I need to speak in their language so I can order, I'm going to get something from their culture, but if a waiter/waitress speaks perfect English to me, I'm going to get something more Americanized, because that's what they do. I'm a firm believer in reading the restaurant before I read the menu. Ok, soapbox over. Great job, Perico's! I will be back. read more

Legit food. Don't let the outside fool you- this place is yummy. Be careful in the parking lot - people cut through because it's off the feeder. They had karaoke there last Sunday when my husband and I stopped by. Seated immediately at a booth along the wall. TVs to watch while waiting. Green and red salsa and chips before meal. Great water and iced tea. Husband got chilaquiles and retried beans- loved it. I got street tacos and ate almost all of them. They are small and come with cooked onions and cilantro. I enjoyed it- didn't feel too heavy. Karaoke was fun and I think we will come back! read more

The food was amazing the chips were salted perfectly and warm. They even gave lemon with my child's small plate. Service was a bit slow - but we will be back! read more

Ever since moving to our new location we are always looking at neighborhood restaurants to support and check out. Each week we eat out every single meal, so that gives us 5 places to eat. At least 1 of those meals is Mexican. In this particular area there are so many options, but so many are mediocre. This one had the great feel of a hole in the wall, but the food was very lackluster. We ordered one of their sampler plates. We thought it was supposed to come with sausage, but when it came out not on it. The chicken and beef were chopped small and decent flavor. The shrimp was small and was not plump. The chips were stale tasting. But the best part of the meal was the homemade tortillas, those were actually very good. read more

Perico's - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

By far one of the worst services and restaurant I have been to in all of Houston. For starters.. how are you going to serve someone rancid orange juice. 2. How are you going to make someone wait 27 minutes just to tell them "oops I'm sorry I forgot your lemonade" and still come empty handed. 3. If you get Gloria as your waitress, might as well ask for the manager to serve you Bc her serving skills are shit and there's no excuse in the world to be that idiotic like her.. 4. Prepare to expect zero motivation from her when serving your food or taking your order.. 5. How are you going to get mad at someone Gloria(my waitress) for tipping you $0 for shit service.. the audacity of this woman is ridiculous... never again will I eat here. Don't let this happen to you like it did to me. read more

This is a neighborhood jewel. Breakfast is cheap and great,price goes up by $1.50 after 11. Lunch and dinner are a large and interesting menu,they even brought me back to beef enchiladas! Might even have live music Sunday mornings. A great little place. read more

Must be a restaurant for macho people and the staff must run the place. We had a group of 8 women Friday night, that was treated rudely by server as manager looked on. No soup and "our shipment of wine hadn't come in " really. Food was ok. And well ambiance was what they make it. read more

Food was horrible. Food tasted cold and looked old. Would of rather had McDonald's next door. Stay away. May have cheap drinks or something don't see how they're still open. read more

Just go in and seat yourself. I had a simple egg and bacon plate that was okay, but my husband had the sope with barbacoa, which was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. read more

The Food was great for breakfast not the best Chilaquiles but they are good for the price of $10.00 bucks. I wish they put more stuff on the plate like Cilantro or Sour Cream. Which if you ask on the side is additional charge . The place overall is in a corner easy to get to and take Multiple payments. The place also has a little smell too but. I am sure it was cuz it was when they just opened and is was nasty weather . But will go again to try different food and update my Review read more

Great caldo tlalpeno and tortas. Their salsa verde they serve with chips is the best I've ever had. I always do take-out cause I'm not crazy about the service here but this soup is delicious. Gotta have it at least once a month. It's got chicken, white melted mozzarella cheese and Adobe peppers. So good! read more

It's a nice lunch spot to me. The food bad service were both pretty good. I have a tight time frame for lunch time and we can always called for orders and came in with our food on table already. My favorite dishes so far is the caldo tlapeno. If you order the large one, you will get a free soft drink. read more

If you are from the Houston area, everyone knows about cancun and arandas which is a typical authentic Mexican cuisine.. Or some ppl also think los cucos is authentic too but the truth is that this place has fresh squeeze lemonade and fresh tortilla, like homemade. The flavor is awesome and the quantity is enormous so it will feed a crowd.. Last thing it is like a hole in the wall but the best place in this world is not the image but how it goes down your throat and makes you feel... read more

Only giving 4 starts because the service was a little slow, but i have to admit they were pretty busy. Maybe just short staffed. I got the enchiladas verde w/ chicken, it was great. My only thing was that it wasn't spicy enough. lol Their salsa verde they bring with the chips is good, and definitely has the spice in it. read more

I'd like to start off with how great the music was here, although the menu looked appealing, the prizes did not. Finally after a great deal of looking over the menu, I decided to get the "Tortas Pericos" the price seemed fair at the moment, the timing in the making of the food was great, so that was a plus. How ever when taking the first bite into what I assumed would be a delicious bite may I add; the torta the meat was extremely hard, not in the way of saying it was rightfully cooked, but in the way as the exact opposite. So I requested the tab, when the tab came, I was notified that there is a 4% curve to the total amount if you are paying with card. So that's another con. Over all would I not come back. read more

25 minute wait to have the worst spinach enchiladas I've ever had in my life. Soggy and void of taste. When you walk up to the restaurant all you smell is the stench of rotting seafood in the dumpster in 100 degree heat. First and last time I'll ever come here. read more

I had 3 breakfast tacos- 1 egg and sausage and 2 egg and potatoes . The egg and sausage was full of good flavors. The egg and potatoes was kinda bland even with requested cilantro on them. I'll go back to try on of the breakfast platters which looked delicious. read more
