Excellent stuff. Wife and shared the keto taco (next time, stick with the tortillas because they are indeed quite good) and a quesadilla with steak added. The quesadillas were more like meat-stuffed tortillas with a bit of cheese... and that was fine by me. Tasty and not skimpy on the meat, just the opposite. Great salsa, acidic and a bit of spice/bite. Lucky to work near here as we will be patronizing them again! read more

Dropped by today to finally try it and the meat was delicious. The price is good for 1 taco since it's a huge taco and the beans were also good. Service was awesome and staff was nice. I did not like the chile toriado they give you is cold, at least mine was. Chiles asados should be served hot. The beans weren't hot either. This food is being cooked up before being served so I expect all items to be hot. I'd try again if I am around, definitely recommend though! read more

Perro Exquisite Taco - Tacos Near Me - Cerritos, California

Firstly, me and a coworker wandered in here on a whim. We were aiming for that ayce mediterranean buffet across the plaza but it was like $30 or $40 something obscene for a weekend lunch that we werent even sure would be good. And CTC seems to be limping along, the food stores close and go every few years. So we were not expecting much from this "random" placed what kind of taco is this but were starving and our alternatives are islands, an empty sushi place, starbucks, islands and movie popcorn Perro Taco $11 Let me confess upfront i had very low expectations that id like this style of taco. the flat open up tostada looking kind, and i hate grilled crispy cheese on anything (melted into things is great. grilled to color change crunchy hate. maybe i have a slight sensory disorder not sure). I WAS WRONg. THIS IS AWESOME. Its like a fluffly kinda fat tortilla with almost mozarella cheesey texture and i lava it. The asada and guac and salsa and onions on top? phenomenal. if you fold it up like a giant singular taco, u can get alllll the flavors together and its AH AH AHsUM!! Without the beans though. they give you like a 2 to 1 bean to meat ratio and its just filler. Another gripe is how much liquid pools, especially if u took it with beans its like 6 napkins worth of soaking up oil/liquid. I mean i guess u could drink it but i like my hands mostly uncovered in liquid so biting into a squirting taco is unpreferred. 1.Fold the entire thing. Tilt it (oil will pour out the other side) 2.Take a bite of giant flour cheesy asada taco 3.take a bite of radish to clear the spiciness 4.repeat until full. Its in a single serve togo container so handy as is. I can barely finish 1 of these tacos. it is alot. -april2026 update- i guess it varies cuz this last time way less meat so i was fully able to finish one, but wasnt hungry for more so its all good read more

Perro Exquisite Taco - Tacos Near Me - Cerritos, California

Every now I think of this place and I crave their "perro taco". Perro in Spanish is dog; but don't worry - the meat is carne asada steak. What they call a taco is actually an open-faced burrito that's filled with creamy beans, perfectly grilled carne asada, cheese browned from their flat top, and some really great Sonoran style flour tortillas. The "taco combo" runs a little over $11; however, it's extremely filling. I spend a little more to get "extra meat", to balance out the balance with the beans. My wife likes to get a quesadilla on the side for $3, which comes with their perfect tortillas and cheese. I believe that tortillas are an underrated component in a perfect taco/burrito, and the quality of the tortillas here are top-notch. I think people are still sleeping on this place and I highly recommend that you check this out at Cerritos Towne Center. read more

HOMEMADE tortillas from TJ? Say less. The staff was friendly from the jump, I asked if I could film them cooking my food and they allowed me to it was so kind. They had a flower wall making the place inviting for the small space. The tacos and meat and ingredients so delish. Truly worth the hype. read more

Taco itself seems to be missing something. The tortilla itself is amazing. The texture and the sturdiness is really different from other tortillas. I would come back only to buy tortillas, as the actual taco n toppings are underwhelming in my opinion. No bathroom inside, and it's near the movie theaters. read more

These tacos are massive and flavorful , they're the "personal pizza" of the taco world. You can tell they use quality meat and other ingredients. The tortillas alone are worth going back over and over. read more

Excellent food and very friendly, quick service! Very clean inside too. Was greeted warmly by the employees, and since it was my first visit they took the time to explain the menu to me. These tacos are huge, 1 lb each. I had the breakfast taco and also had a quesadilla. What makes Perro's unique is definitely the tortilla. Handmade from Tijuana, it's worth coming here just to try. Salsa had a kick but not overly spicy. Everything overall was delicious. This place was a gem, I highly recommend. read more

Sorry I bit into the quesadilla LOL! I remember this used to be a Subway back in high school 10 years ago. The cashier was super helpful towards my girlfriend and I and recommended the Perro taco meal. This meal is SO GOOD!! Since this was our first time, the cashier hooked us up with a free quesadilla! I didn't take a photo of the taco because my girlfriend ate it HAHA but the quesadilla is soooo good! 10/10 service and I'll be back here soon!! read more

Perro Exquisite Taco - Quesadilla - Tacos Near Me - Cerritos, California

I wasn't familiar with Sonoran-style tacos from Northern Mexico, so I decided to try their signature Perro Taco and carne asada was the only protein option. I really enjoyed the chewy flour tortilla with its layer of grilled cheese. The portion of meat, salsa, and guacamole was generous and flavorful. The only thing I didn't love were the white beans, which were a bit too much for me, so I ended up picking them off. Hopefully, they can be omitted on my next visit. There's plenty of outdoor seating, and the service was fast and friendly. read more

Tried this place after randomly seeing a review of it on insta. Solid 8/10 except for the flan haha. I would ask for some more peppers if you can handle the spice and it pushes the taco to a 9/10 with the salsa poured on! 1 is superrrr filling. The tortilla itself is good! read more

Service was 10/10, the young lady at the register was very polite and has great customer service. Now about the food, I'm not going to lie the food was not good at all,the guacamole had no flavor the salsa was bitter I'm guessing from the tomatillos the beans were not fully cooked The meat was very tender but they don't give as much as how they show on tik tok I really wanted to like it but unfortunately I didn't like it and for the price of $15 for a taco,chips and drink it's a bit much. read more

Perro Exquisite Taco is a Sonoran-style taco spot that makes tacos as big as one's head. Had this on our to-try list for a while and decided to come here on a Tuesday evening. This location is inside the Cerritos Towne Center. Parking is plentiful and easy. Upon entering, we were greeted by a staff member. He was kind enough to walk us through the menu. We ordered a Perro Taco to share. Seems like there us a Taco Tuesday special, and we got the taco for $10. The taco came out quickly. The portion size is fair for the price. There is a good heaping of guacamole on top. The tortilla had a nice chew and the carne asada was flavorful and tender. We felt the ratio of beans to other filling ingredients was off and there were too many beans. More onions and cilantro would be nice too. Overall, giving Perro Exquisite Taco a 4/5. Service is good. It's a small place with a few tables and bar seats, so I can see it being hard to dine-in during rush hour. The food is solid and worth trying. read more

Anytime I'm in the Cerritos area, I make an effort to come to Perro Exquisite Taco. Tucked away in the back of a shopping center with a modest footprint lies something magical. The tacos here are as the name implies. The menu may not be expansive, but what you get is worth it. Don't be scared by the price; these aren't street taco sized; 1 is plenty filling (1lb according to staff; though I could easily down multiple ). The asada is tender and juicy, the guacamole adds a nice cool, creamy texture; the crisp radishes add a nice crunch and the beans are creamy without being gummy. I highly recommend the Keto option if you love crispy cheese; it makes for an excellent vessel to consume the fillings. Ambiance is great; quaint indoor eating area with music fitting of the food. Staff is super friendly and eager to assist if needed. You can order from a kiosk or at the counter. Food comes out quickly and is always made to order. They also have a breakfast option that sounded amazing, but the Keto is too good to pass up. If you're ever in the Cerritos area, I highly recommend giving Perro Exquisite Taco a try! read more

Perro Exquisite Taco - Keto taco = Exquisite!! - Tacos Near Me - Cerritos, California

Was really hyped when I found out they had a location close by to where I gym at because I first tried their tacos when they had a pop up in Santa Ana and I was obsessed they were sooo good . I visited the Cerritos location first the first time and was a bit disappointed because my taco had no flavor the meat didn't really taste like anything I had to ask for a side of salt to give it some type of flavor. I was a bit shocked because I do remember their food being super good . I want to believe I went on the wrong night so I might give them one more try and see if it was just a bad night for them . read more

Had this place bookmarked for a while since their original location as a stand in Cudhay. So was super exited when the brick & mortar opened in Cerritos. Stopped by for work lunch, finding the place can be confusing, its in the little outdoor area in Cerritos Town Center. I have had Sonoran style Tacos before, so familiar with the use of a large Flour tortilla, guac, and other toppings such as beans(not unusual). Place is super clean, not many people during my visit. Placed my order through the touch screen, server did answer a few questions but was not very friendly, just running through the motions. Yo.... I was soooo disappointed. How can you have so many toppings = bland taste? How can you mess up this delicious blend of ingredients? The Bad: Beans. So many beans, promise felt a little uncooked. So uncooked they firm on the bite. Salsa was not spicy, but also lacked flavor a bit. Guac was fresh but lacking taste. The Good: Tortilla was yummy. Steak was ok, a little under seasoned. How do you mess up the only thing you have in the menu besides a quesadilla? So many better choices, try Tacos La Rueda in Lakewood for a better more authentic version of the Perro Taco. read more

Trying places that were once taco stands always gives me reservations. Most times they loose their flavor, but this place! Wow!! The meat was juicy and flavorful, the beans cooked to perfection and that homemade tortilla with quaxca cheese - no pos wow!!

Yes, yes 1000 times yes! This veggie taco is amazing! Great flavor and balance of ingredients. The fried cheese not only melts on the tortilla but is melting my heart. It is a clean and employees are friendly. The value for the meals are definitely there. If in the area check it out. Also I am a meat eater but just decided on veggies today so no regrets. read more

The tacos here were AMAZING!!! Food and service 10 out of 10 Keto taco was amazing!!! Will be coming back read more

I'm going to start off and say that my rating is a mix of customer service and the food. Customer Service for me was a 10/10, they were welcoming, and when I mentioned getting help with clearing off a table they were fast and friendly. Now the taco, for me personally, I expected a bit more protein and guac for the price. The nice touch was the chips and salsa but I honestly would skip out on them if it meant a better built taco. I'm not sure if this will be on my rotation for dinner outings but it was a nice change. read more

Where my perros at? Where they at? *Woof* *Woof* https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=tYyFMvwvoff8pZLxmIoWqQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA From humble beginnings, Perro Exquisite Taco serves up Sonoran-style tacos in Cerritos. Hecho a mano (handmade) tortillas are what distinguish Perro Exquisite Taco from other taquerias. Perro taco- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=NdsS37dbC0iX8NBHLNueHg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Prime flap meat, Peruvian beans, purple onions, cilantro, mozzarella, lime, radish, jalapeno, salsa & guacamole. It's all about the handmade tortilla. Dense, chewy & heavy enough to hold all the accoutrement within it. The flavor of the prime flap meat gets kinda lost, especially by the heaping amount of beans. Hearty, filling, stick to your ribs, the Perro taco is a meal unto itself https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1kg401QUd6DbbAmukd4IFg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Cheese quesadilla- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Kw2KZNaYmKQ41lf7fUaDLw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Perro Exquisite Taco's cheese quesadilla is different than your average cheese quesadilla. Here, the cheese it burnt to a crisp, providing a fatty crunch upon each bite. No cheese pull to be had. I enjoyed it, but believe I would've preferred melted cheese, as opposed to crispy. Service was excellent. The gentlemen working were friendly & hospitable. A good amount of seating inside, there is outdoor seating at the Cerritos Towne Centre. Perro Exquisite Taco is located behind IHOP & on the right of the sushi restaurant. Breakfast & vegetarian options, available. While I find myself debating whether 1 Perro taco or multiple street tacos are the better deal, I no doubt enjoyed dining on a Perro taco for the first time. I left stuffed, and my tummy satisfied. Their simplistic menu streamlines the process of good Mexican food to the masses. I look forward to coming back. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4jZ0fbyiMgnppWS4XgiRpw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA read more

Great tacos! It's differently different from the traditional tacos I'm used to having. I was first not sure how many to order, but the workers recommended one per person, and showed us big each of their tacos were. The food was delicious, and I highly recommend giving it a try. It was a bit difficult to find at first, but its next to the movie theatre where the old Golden Spoon used to be. Also our tacos came out really fast, so great place to grab a quick delicious bite! read more

This is a cool place for uniquely large tacos that you eat like an open burrito. It's a small menu but very tasty tacos. The guys who run the place are very nice.
