Best Taqueria in Orange. Breakfast Burritos are outstanding as is $1 Taco Tuesday. Haven't had a less than great entree. Beers are three dollars less than the joint up the street. read more

The service here is impeccable, the lady at the counter is very attentive and open to questions about food and menu. The food was good, I ordered the chicken con nopales guisado, it's like home cooking. I was pretty disappointed no hand made tortillas as advertised on the banner out front. Besides me and another patron not a lot of customers or phone orders. The shrimp cocktail was thick with shrimp and the broth was full flavored. It's super casual and order at the counter. read more

Excellent taco Tuesday price and foods are delicious. Lorena and the girls there are super sweet and friendly.

I don't recommend this place. I went for taco Tuesday on 7/21/26 for the $1.00 tacos with my family and they were $3.00. I seen it on IG . I put a comment on there IG and they removed my comments and also blocked me for putting the truth about it. read more

Food is greasy and low quality. flys and bugs all over, they leave the doors open all the time. There is always like no people and the music is loud for the place. It's not a bar or club. The woman that works there has an attitude problem for no reasons read more

best asada i've ever had in my life, ate here 3x a week on accident it's that good. drive now 20 mins to get pick up read more

Service was subpar. The place was hot, but it was a hot day. 13 dollars for tacos, a bag of chips and a soda for their Friday special was good, but tacos were a lot of tortilla to meat. Salsa was actually really good though, had an oil based red sauce. Kinda like Asian crunch chilli oil. read more

Close to our new house so I tried out this place. The parking is tight with less than 20 spots, so peak hours will be tough! The counter is easy to maneuver around and the clerk is friendly. Took about 10 minutes to cook our takeout meal- 2 carnitas tacos, 4 carne asada tacos , 4 chicken tacos and a carne asada plate. The chicken was dry dry dry! My boys could barely wash it down with water. The carne asada plate was a big thumbs up by my husband. The red sauce was spicy yet flavorful! He's a fan! The carne asada tacos weren't as much of a hit. I don't know if they got really dried out from chopping up, but it was not memorable. Since this place is close to the house, I will try it again before updating! read more

Good: 1.Pretty much all the tacos here 2. Prices are decent 3. Taco Tuesday prices are $1.25 Bad: 1. Parking. Very limited in to about 20 spaces total shred with 2-3 other business. Pleasantly surprised at the quality and flavor of Taqueria El Nuevo Perico. We got the taco Tuesday 5 carne asada Tacos, 5 chicken tacos, ($1.25 each) and 5 birria tacos, 5 Fish Tacos, 1 potato quesadilla and asada quesadilla. I gotta say, the chicken tacos were super moist, fish was flaky and neither tacos were dry. Birria tacos were superb and on Par with my favorite birria spot in Santa Ana "El Cabrito". Def recommend the potato quesadilla. Added bonus: If you love spicy salsa, get the red sauce. Check Taqueria El Nuevo Perico #2 when you get a chance. read more

GO ELSEWHERE! +$1 fee if paying by credit card. 1st monitor that's supposed to show menu isn't working. Food is only OK. Music loud AF, plus it sucks. The loud AF commercial between every song provided some relief. Not fast. Not cheap. Not friendly. Not worth returning. read more

This food here is Delicious. The portions are good. I don't think any kind Of Salad belongs in a carne asada burrito. So be aware to order it with just onions and cilantro. I don't even understand why they do this. My fav is the sopes. Also watch the price register ring up. I noticed a woman before me telling her the price on the menu and register was not the same. I believe she said we raised our prices. Well then spend the money and change the menu. Their prices have also gone up on many items. Compared to other local restaurants. Here's the thing. We all know the cost of doing business has gone up. But what we don't appreciate is when I feel like the short cut the dish at the same time. You can charge me 15.00 for a burrito but then make it a 15.00 burrito. Also the local Latinos eat here. You'll find it Full at lunch time. That's usually how you know it's good. read more

Salsas we're authentic and very tasty. Carne asada had great flavoring however the meat had a stale flavor. All of us who ate there had mild stomach discomfort later that evening. read more

The tacos were great but little pricey, the drinks were ok they tasted like it was from the packet I got the horchata

We were disappointed bc we had been wanting to try it out but it wasn't anything like their IG posts. Prices are high and the food wasn't anything exciting. Not many options as far as beer goes. read more

I come here for the taco Tuesday specials and get the carne asada and al pastor. They serve them with grilled onions and a grilled jalapeño which enhances the flavor. The restaurant is a fast food type environment but they do have seating areas with TVs to watch while you're eating. There is a fee to use your credit card so it's best to bring cash. read more

Always passed this place while driving on Chapman and decided to give it a try versus going to el ranchito or another sit down Mexican eatery. The enchilada sauce was balanced with sweet, sour, and spicy tones. The chicken was a bit on the dry side, but the tortilla and cheese made up for it. The beans were the right texture, but the cojita cheese was a bit too chewy for my liking. The rice had a nice bite to it, not too soggy nor mushy. Overall, if I was in a pinch and was craving Mexican food I would go here again. read more

I had high hopes for this place I went at 5pm on a Tuesday thinking tacos will be fresh since it's the taco Tuesday special. I was charged $1.25 per taco the cashier stated .25 is tax (I have never paid a 25% tax or ever heard of this rate before). I received 2 chicken tacos and 2 asada tacos. The chicken was very dry and old I checked on it. There was literally two tablespoons of chicken and a little onions with cilantro. The meat in the Asada tacos was cooked well just bland and lacking in meat. Overall when eating the tacos I felt like I was just eating mostly tortilla. To drink I bought a large Jamaica drink. Price is listed on the menu as four dollars however I was charged $4.50 assuming the .50 cents was tax again (a 12% tax seemed more fair than the 25%). The drink was subpar. Ultimately I believe this restaurant deserves two stars and that is being generous. Also a little tip if you wanna use your credit card you're going to be charged $1.00. FYI places cannot charge credit card fees, this goes against all merchant contracts. If you report this to any establishments merchant they would simply cancel their contract and they would no longer be able to accept credit cards unless they stop charging people. Merchants charge on average 2% from the price of transaction. Also, is it not illegal to charge someone more than what the listed price is on the board/menu? In conclusion the food was a disappointment, and trust was broken with the discrepancies in prices. Will not go there again. read more

I ordered extremely OVERPRICED $14 dollar carne asada nachos to go. The picture of their nachos shows that they put jalapeños on them which I love! Since I've never eaten here before I wanted to make sure they put jalapeños and the cashier lady said "THEY DONT" as I'm standing right under the menu that has a big azzz pic of the nachos with jalapeños. I told her and pointed to the menu picture and she said "those are old pictures " WTF? ... So I figured ok I'll just get some extra salsas on the side to spicen things up and give her a tip to hook me up with extra salsas. So when my order was ready I looked in the bag there was 1 green and 1 red salsa so I asked for one more of each she said 'that will be 1 dollar" I said "I'm only asking for 2 tiny cups" she said "they're .50 cents each" Remember that was my whole point of giving her a decent tip to avoid a salsa hoarding situation. So at this point I just grabbed my $14 dollar OVERPRICED nachos went to the car opened up the container, dug into a small box of chips that barley had any meat but they did have what appeared to be a half pound of chopped onions as the main topping. So I hated everything about this place I threw the nachos away and now my car smells like bad body odor thanks to the half pound of onions I paid $14 dollars for. You've been warned ! read more

Good price. Quality for price and add ons of grilled onions, jalapeños, limes. A great alternative to a few other local similar favorites

My go to order 2 chicken, cabeza, pastor, 1 buche and maybe try lengua. Asada is p. 1.5 tt

Was feeling sick and was in the mood for caldo. I found this place on Yelp and ordered caldo de res with a side of rice. It did not disappoint, I felt like I was eating my moms homemade caldo and it came with all the sides and tortillas. It was delivered and still arrived nice and hot. Would love to definitely return and try their other menu items read more

Came for taco Tuesday and saw the $1 tacos. After ordering the price didn't make sense and they charged $1.25 a taco. Don't advertise $1 a taco on a massive sign and charge something different. Makes you lose customers and is a scam. read more

We went there for Tuesday tacos. I decided to try something else a cheese enchilada and a cheese quesadilla with shrimp. She looked up and said 42.69 I was astonished !! The enchilada was 14.00 and quesadilla was 18.00. For us this is off the chart expensive so we didn't try anything else. The tacos were very good and will limit our visits to taco Tuesdays. read more

Stopped by one day looking for some Mexican food and decided to try this place. They had delicious green chicken enchiladas. Super tasty with a little spice. They give plenty of food. The plate came with 4 enchiladas, lettuce, rice and beans. The rice and beans were very good also. My son had a Carne asada burrito that he said was very tasty and better than many others he has tried at other places. They put everything in the burrito. Small place, but clean and friendly service. Definitely recommend. read more
