Always reliable and delicious, especially the tostada bowl. We typically come here after checking out the farmers market. There's shade and staff is friendly. read more

The food is hit or miss. A lot of items on the menu aren't always available. They're very short staffed so service os slow. Food comes out at different times so you have to get up for each individual item and when they're missing an item they'll tell you you already got it. Cute place. But needs more help read more

Amazing food at prices now very reasonable compared to other places around the corner. Outdoor seating is always a vibe but I love how easy it is to order to go. Definitely recommend. read more

Went to their grand reopening and had tacos and some sangria. They were DELICIOUS. All the workers are so kind and helpful. Definitely will be stopping by more often. read more

Petiscos - Tacos Near Me - Claremont, California

Great Mexican food in a tiny little open air restaurant. Authentic and tasty. Great vegetarian options as well

I visited a couple months ago and it wasn't the best wasn't the worst. Takes a while for your order to come out, the food isn't hot enough, and it doesn't seem super sanitary. The tacos we had were tasty but I felt like I couldn't enjoy them fully because of the things previously mentioned :( I think it's also a little expensive for what you get but just my two cents! read more

Petiscos - Potato taco and fish taco - Tacos Near Me - Claremont, California

If you're not getting your tacos from here, you're missing out! My favorite items to get are their cactus, carnitas and birria tacos. Absolutely delicious and they are not shy with their portions. Definitely worth the price they charge which is $5 per taco. I also ordered a side of rice and it was perfectly cooked and had great flavor. I do have to bring recognition to their birria tacos. I was pleasantly surprised. I drive all the way to rancho to order a good birria taco. They charge $5.50 per taco and it comes with consommé with cilantro and onions but that's not the best part... it's really a quesabirria taco! The tortilla is a quesadilla. My absolute favorite! What a steal. The seasoning on the meat was so good I thought they made it traditionally with goats meat but it is beef! Please give this place a try.. everything on the menu is worth it. They also have many different salsas to choose from and they are all delicious. House-made chips are a nice addition as well. This place is 100% better than Sanchos Tacos and you get more for your money. read more

Limited menu items, poor quality of items delivered and dirty service (employee handling food with hands). My salad had no items it said it was to have because they were "out". Zucchini instead of cukes, no dressing, no jicama...it goes on. Broken bathroom which was not well maintained. As well, you have to get your own food from the counter and bus your own table. Overall, a poor experience. We will not be back. read more

Petiscos - Tacos Near Me - Claremont, California

Don't waste your time or money. Tacos were OK, but not only was the staff rude, they took 5 minutes to acknowledge us, and then proceeded to take 20 minutes to get our order of tacos prepared. When we got our order , it was ice cold... what were you doing for 20 minutes? read more

The best bakery in the Inland Empire, Creme, was unfortunately closed that morning and I was famished, leading me to finally taste test Petiscos down the street. I've passed it for months but it has never particularly drawn me in with its tired menu that seems to cater to the wan, simplistic palate of the anglo types--their majority customers. I got a vegan burrito and it disappointingly met my low expectations so I had to yelp about it. The potatos were left in large chunks which means they did not absorb the flavors of whatever meagre smear of "sauce" they threw in (utterly negligible). The zucchini was grilled plain, also in too large chunks that did not help to convey flavor. That was it. No effort at any kind of substitute egg product, no tofu scramble, no greens, no beans. Not even a pico de gallo in there, nope they were not even trying. I would have done better to get a frozen Trader Joe's burrito stuffed with more flavor and ingredients, than drop $10 on this nothing burger. Look Petisco's can't seem to muster up an authentic chilli salsa in the Inland Empire, which is not only a shame but a failure to care about creating flavor or bringing elevated taste to their food product. Petisco's exists to give a certain type of customer the comforting illusion of eating Mexican food because their vegetables are wrapped in a tortilla and that's all their limited minds can handle. Don't waste your time here, wink wink, there are a dozen more authentic and actually flavorful places in nearby Pomona. read more

Ordered chorizo burrito and a machaca burrito. Burritos were very tasty and packed full of meat and potatoes. Homemade salsas were awesome. I am very pleased with food quality and service and would definitely come back! read more

This place is such a hidden gem! For good tacos and good Mexican food, we usually frequent more places over by Pomona or Fontana, wasn't so sure if a spot in Claremont would be good bc of the usual taste palette around here lol. But so glad we tried this place out! Not sure why ppl are complaining about the service, staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and food came out quick and hot. We got two tacos de asada, a quesadilla, and an horchata - everything was delicious 10/10! Asada was flavorful and the quesadilla had delicious cheese and just the right crispy bite, paired with some really fresh and tasty guacamole. Being Mexican im super picky with our local options, this is a wonderful spot and deserves all the hype. Will be back! read more

So good!! Great tacos and vibes and super cheap! Only thing is it's only outside and service is very quick so not great for a long meal.

wonderful food and service and they catered an event for me and it was perfect and everything stayed hot and fresh

Such good tacos!!!! I would come here every day if I could! The service was so quick and they were so kind!

cool hangout place, love a good beer and chips and salsa. The taco salad and quesadilla are great, service is really friendly.

Catered a party at Pomona College and was so good! Really recommend their street corn and salsa verde.

Man, go elsewhere. This spot used to be really good a few years ago, but post pandemic it's a sloppy nightmare. The staff are rude and lazy. The owner needs to step in again or just shut the sad and tired place down already. The tacos went from being interesting fusion cuisine to incredibly boring and unappetizing. Not worth the price point for such basic b**** food. Greasy looking too, definitely not what it once was. I came today to get some elote. Before ordering I watched a nice family of 4 before me be shouted at over their order and then rushed to pay when the guy was clearly trying to get out his wallet and was having trouble. I mean, I should've walked away right then and there. I finally get to order and again, the guy is rude and is trying to rush me. I was going to order more stuff but that cemented in why I did not. I get the street corn and wow. WHAT A TOTAL JOKE. It's soup. This is freaking corn SOUP. It's a ton of corn they bought from a can, and dropped into a half pint of SOUP. Mayonnaise, paprika, cojita cheese and some cilantro but it's in soup form. None of it sticks to your elote like ACTUAL STREET CORN. They no longer roast the corn CLEARLY as you can see it's from a can. Disgusting. Total waste of almost $6 and I will never be back. Can't wait til this spot shuts down and something better can come along. What a total joke. John if you're reading this you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing this complete JOKE of a business to be running. Just insane to me. I remember when it first opened and comparing that to today...... wow. Owen Wilson wow. read more

The food is great, some of the best tacos and soup. The atmosphere seemed a little odd because it's this cute outdoor spot, but there was no music or anything so people were just trying to talk low. The service was all Over the place on when things would come out and we had missing items, but once they arrived, they were good. read more

My wife and I have lived in Claremont for almost 5 years. Up until now, we have really enjoyed Petiscos. Today, we ordered 4 Carne Asada tacos, pozole, papa's braves, and a breakfast burrito. My wife and daughter thought the taco shells were too thick and did not add to the dish. The papa's bravas were cold, and the drizzle was completely different and not enjoyable. I found the burrito lacked flavor. It's sad but this might be our last visit. I don't know what has happened and honestly can't refer people to go there. read more

I had waited 40 plus min for a burrito and nacho fries. If the wait was going to be that long then communicate that to your customers. Along with a bad attitude from the person that helped us. I will never come here again. read more

Unfortunately, every time I eat here it gets worse and worse. Today was no exception. I try not to leave tough reviews because everybody has a bad day, but this is based on multiple bad experiences. The food that we ordered did not match the menu, we were told that the menu was wrong. Today we decided that we would never eat here again. It's really unfortunate, the ambience is really cool, but it is bad Mexican food. read more

Let me preface this review by saying we usually love Petiscos- the food, the laid back outdoor atmosphere, and the small town vibes. That said, they have GOT to do something about their service and how much time it takes to get your food to you- specifically on Sundays when the farmers market means guaranteed larger crowds. We came today and ordered three tacos and one burrito to go. We were order #16 and when asked, were told the wait was about 15 minutes. We sat down to wait and got our salsas to go and my husband started his timer because we needed to get to our son's baseball tournament and leave the village by 11:30. This was at about 10 a.m. Fast forward MORE THAN ONE HOUR LATER and we still had not gotten our food. We had asked multiple times for our order and were told they "were working on it". Meanwhile, several other orders were being called out. When they got to order #22 being done, we had had enough. My husband asked for our money back, to which they replied the food was "almost done", which obviously was not good enough. I got the feeling that those who ordered ahead of us were getting their food sooner because they tipped on their order. We did not, so we kept getting pushed to the back. I don't know this for sure, but what other reason could it be, and how long does it take to make three tacos and one burrito? In the end, they gave us our money back and we walked out hungry, frustrated, and running late to our son's game. At the very least, they should have given us our money back, plus an apology, and also given us our order for free. Unfortunately for them, they lost our business and we will take our money and time to one of the many other restaurants in the village who have better customer service. So the moral of the story is...if you have all day to wait around, this is the place for you. But if you're hungry and don't appreciate having multiple people who come after you get their order before you, don't even waste your time and just go elsewhere. We were not the only ones there this morning who had this negative experience. Do better, Petiscos! read more

One of the better breakfast burritos I've had in the area. Really nice treat after visiting the farmers market.

Food was really great and we've been here a couple of times. But i wish service was better. The person at the window was very rude and kept cutting us off when we were trying to order. as if to hurry us up while we were ordering. Then when our food was ready, we were missing an item so we asked about the missing item. The guy responded "i only have two hands". Such a rude person. Such a shame because the food really is great and the seating area is really cute and comfy but the one thing that would prevent us from coming again would be the service. read more

I waited over 35 min for 3 tacos. When I got the order, it was wrong. I will not return to this place. Customer service is the lowest of low. No one when your food is ready. If you miss it, you will eat soggy tacos. I can get better tacos elsewher. read more

We have been coming here since it has opened but not nearly enough. The rub use to be the tacos are overpriced for what you get but I don't see that anymore. I've had most of the offerings and they are a good size for the value. The carnitas was very good and the fish taco was great. We also had a asada burrito which very good too. The outside space is great area to sit and play games. Are these the best tacos you will ever have? No, but they are great for when you want a small bite and some good atmosphere. Check them out. read more

Indifferent service. Cold bland food. Home made tortillas worse than supermarket brand. Embarrassing for California.

Let me start off by saying Claremont not many choices for Mexican food, but there is a great spot that has great Michelada's and believe me, I've tried them around the area, but nothing comes close to the taste of these Michelada made personally by chef Leo definitely deserves a five star good food good drinks, great people. read more

Petiscos - Micheladas so good - Tacos Near Me - Claremont, California

If you're a real Mexican, you won't buy food from here. The food is overpriced and it doesn't taste much like authentic Mexican food. I'm Mexican, and I can say that If you want real Mexican food, then go to a real Mexican owned restaurant in the boonies of Pomona. It's sad, this place used to be good. The quality has severely gone down over the years. read more

Petiscos - This is the, so-called posole. - Tacos Near Me - Claremont, California

We will never go back! We've been several times and always enjoy the food, but after the way I was treated today we will never go again! The person working the register was the rudest person I've ever encountered in the food service industry! We ordered chips and salsa, and the chips were so overcooked they tasted burnt. My fiancée took them back and asked for a 2nd batch. The 2nd batch was just as bad! This time I took them back and asked for a refund. He threw them on the counter and yelled at me! He said that they were fine because he literally made them himself. IT WAS SO RUDE!!!! He refunded our money but was awful about it! In addition to the horrible service, our food wasn't very good. My fiancé couldn't even eat her chicken taco, it was that bad. She decided to not ask for a refund after the way I was treated. My fish taco was ok, but it wasn't amazing. As we walked out, we noticed that someone else left a full plate of overcooked chips on the table. How sad that this restaurant doesn't value their customers. Several of the reviews here are about the horrible treatment. They have lost our business, as well as anyone we tell about our experience! read more

The food here is amazing! It's fresh, handmade, and delicious! The breakfast burritos, the tamales, tacos (hard & soft), chips, and salsa's. This food is made with love and you can taste it! Definitely recommend this place to anyone. The service is great and the outdoor eating area if clean and fun! read more

Pros: - This place looked promising, like a large family's backyard party space. - The chorizo is *really* tasty. - They have horchata and champurrado (I didn't try the champurrado, and don't care for horchata, but my son liked it.) - they give you a generous cup of spicy green salsa (needed salt, though) Cons: - Dude's attitude, like others have pointed out - like how dare people interrupt his work by standing at the window to place an order! - bland - the beans in the "chile relleno" burrito had zero salt; h said the potatoes in his chorizo and egg burrito needed salt too. - awful "chile relleno" - the burrito did not have a chle relleno, it had scrambled egg and a roasted UNPEELED poblano. That does *not* make a chile relleno! facts: - $52 for 2 chorizo burritos, 1 "chile relleno" burrito. 2 horchatas and a coke in a bottle. - i would be open to trying it again for the chorizo, but I may need to be a little drunk to overlook the shitty attitude read more

I think place has forget their Mexican style cooking tradition. I ordered the morning pozole and next time I will just go buy a can of American progesso soup which I think is bigger than the portion they give. I ordered the small. looked like last nights left over chicken breast that got shredded this morning. lame water down taste. I mean the freaking chip bag was bigger to make the order look bulky. I know times are tough but I have compare this place to can of soup, seriously?????? read more

Guy was rude that took my order. Went to order the El Kobe taco under signature tacos and then wanted plain asada tacos and the guy interrupts me when I say I want the asada tacos and says "that's the same thing" like really abrupt. Just a rude interaction overall. I get the tacos and the meat is subpar, cold, and I'm still sick from them two days later. Only reason I ate it because I was high starving. Do me a favor while I'm in pain and go anywhere else in this downtown area. Actual disgrace and actually surprised this page even has this many stars even though still not the best. read more

Highlight: HH: Tues-Fri from 3-5pm. $3 beers and 2 for $5 tacos. Food&Drinks: On average it's about $2-5 for their tacos. I got the fish, pollo, and carnitas tacos. There are beers and wines and complimentary water. Service: I came here for lunch and there wasn't too many people. The food came out in a timely manner so no worries over a lunch rush. You order at a window then pick a seat and your name will be called to pick up. The tables all have hot sauce, napkins and utensils. Bottom line: It's a place with exclusively outdoor seating. It's pretty shaded but there's dirt and wood pieces on the ground so I recommend casual and flat shoes. All in all, good for lunch or casual meal. read more

Petiscos - Menu as of 8/10/18 - Tacos Near Me - Claremont, California

I'm not sure how this place stays in business. The food is incredibly mediocre and the people working there have the people skills akin to an overturned mop wearing a hat. Asked for a cup of ice and the cook turned around and scoffed at us. Like excuse me??? What's your problem? The meat was tough and under seasoned, tortillas were dry. Won't be back. Did the owner of this place just check out? read more

Yummy tacos and friendly service. Nice little patio to eat your meal. I had the chicken and burrito tacos and both were a good size for the price. read more

Very authentic tasting tamales and champurado! It tasted just like my grandmas. The salsa is made with a lot of tomatillo, so it has a strong flavor which I didn't prefer. I prefer my salsa more spicy and lime tasting, but the tamales themselves were delicious! The seating is amazing, it's an outdoor areas with lots of shade and even a fire pit for your party. Very nice hole in the wall that is hidden from the rest of the front end stores. Highly recommend to get a quick bite and cool off from the heat! read more
