    Super burrito with Al pastor
    Cody T.

    It's been a while since we've gone out for Mexican food. Since our last disappointing visit to Dublin taqueria, we really didn't have any other options for Mexican food besides Taco Bell near us. Fortunately, a brisk 10 minute drive over to los pericos is definitely where it is at. It's conveniently located in a plaza that doesn't get much traffic so it's pretty easy to find parking. The only busy spot in the whole plaza is los pericos. Upon entering, we were 5th in line to order and with bout 2-3 spots left to dine in. We ordered the super burrito and wet burrito both with al pastor. The prices are more than fair for what you pay for and it comes with bottomless chips and salsa (15-16 usd per burrito). Overall, los pericos is one of the best places to get Mexican food in Dublin. Definitely worth the visit if you're hungry for Mexican food!

    I haven't been for quite a long time because I moved away, but we went today for a birthday lunch and you know what it's still amazing! The food is so good and so authentic we had a chicken burrito and I had the super nachos and everything was incredible. I love that. They have pico de gallo self service. The service there is always nice. I feel like it's always the same guy for the past 20 years and he's really nice. The ambience is like every walk of life. I mean, you see people who work construction you see people who are probably teachers at Dublin high you see little families I mean there is just everybody. I love this place.

    This USED to be our favorite Mexican restaurant for years. I spent $98 on dinner for 8 people (2 people per burrito becuase they're huge) and two other plates. Issue was at the salsa bar. I didn't want to hold up the line so I'd let people with less get salsa in between me filling it up. There was a guy that filled up a paper chip tray with salsa. Then another guy that put the salsa directly into a empty white plastic container that they put burritos in - and nobody said anything to them! Maybe that was my bad for using the actual containers they provided for salsa instead of something else. Another lady even got aluminum foil for her radishes and peppers. I got about 18-20 small containers of salsa for three burritos and two plates - comes out to 2-3 small containers of salsa for each plate. I think most people can say they eat more than 2-3 of those small containers for a huge burrito. I had so much food, I dropped it off in the car (took it to go), then went back in with a trader joe bag (for structure so the salsa wouldn't spill). So I was there for a more than I'd Iike. The guy cooking WALKED out to where I was and asked what I ordered, put his hand in my bag to look for the food/receipt. As if I was stealing salsa WTF! I told him I put it in the car because there was no room to put it down because all the tables were full. I had two receipts, he only saw my add on order for one item. I transferred all the food to one bag to put in the car so it was an empty bag with a receipt. Anyways, I added three radishes and one pepper to the bag and left. I could see him from the corner of my eye watching me wth. I will never give my money/support this restaurant again after being treated like this. Even the lady at the register had to check how much I ordered to "justify" 8 small bags of chips becuase I didn't want to fill it up myself with the trays - and it was justified and she gave it to me. All that guy that checked my bag had to do was ask her what I ordered. Very unprofessional. The food is okay but the portions are healthy, but with this experience, there are more respectful places I'd love to support. I didn't like being scrutinized for getting salsa for 8 people, especially after giving them about $100. If they're going to be stingy about chips and salsa, make it an option for customers to buy it so nobody else has to have the same unpleasant experience.

    Went on a weekend and it was super busy with the line out the door but it went rather quickly. The staff are friendly and the salsa bar is amazing! Today I got the carne asada nachos and they were delicious and not soggy at all. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for Mexican food.

    I've been going to this place for 15 years or so the prices have changed, but the portions have stayed the same. You really get your $ worth. The salsa bar so delicious a variety of mild to hot. I love the beans there. The micheladas so good w/shrimp taste so fresh what else could I say to me everything there is so good

    Pozole (weekends only)
    Ariana H.

    I am so happy I did not judge them for their location. I assumed there could not be GOOD mexican food in Dublin, but boy was I wrong. My husband pushed me to get it on a sunday afternoon after church, and I am so glad he did. When we walked in, they were busy, so we took some time to look at the menu. The location is small, so I was standing next to people eating, and I saw someone had caldo de camaron, which looked delicious. Due to pricing, I decided to go with the Pozole (small). My kids always want quesadilla with rice and beans (no meat). They had a super quesadilla, just cheese, so we got them that with a side of rice and beans for them to split. The portions were perfect for my big boys. My husband got enchiladas rojas with asada. He loved the taste on all of it, but next time would probably get double rice, no beans. He's not a fan of beans, so it's just a personal preference. I got the STAR of the show, their POZOLE was 10/10. They brought it out before I could even get my drink, they were so fast. They didn't just bring the pozole, they gave me the works: oregano, chili oil, tostadas, radish, and cabbage to put on it. It was so delicious, I'm already planning to go back next sunday! My kids and I loved the food so much my 7yo made sure to leave a tip. Service was quick, friendly, and they kept the location as clean as they could. It was really busy in there.e but they got the food out within minutes. LOVE THIS PLACE. Edit: we loved it so much we went back this past Saturday and got more things to try. Loved the carne asada plate wouldn't change a thing. The caldo de camarón took a little while to come out but still delicious. Quesadilla con carne was STUFF with meat. It was basically a burrito.

    Came here based on reviews since we were in the area. It was well worth it. It was busier than I expected for 4:30pm, but I understand this place can get packed. The decor is a mix of Taqueria and retro-burger joint. I love that almost every table is a booth. The service was fast and you order at a window before finding a table. The salsa bar is also great. The tacos were awesome. Finely chopped meat that is cooked and seasoned to crispy perfection. They're also bigger than your average street taco. My wife enjoyed her veggie tostadas. My daughter loved the enchiladas and the bites she stole of my tacos. One standout to me was the refried beans. I had a bean cheese and rice burrito and it's one of the better ones I've ever had. My daughter also loved them on her enchilada plate. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

    Burritos, Taco Salad, 3 Enchiladas Plate

    I had a great lunch at Taqueria Los Pericos! I ordered the taco salad, and I enjoyed it. My friends all loved their meals as well. The food is very authentic and flavorful, and the portions are extremely generous. There are also so many different menu options to choose from. As for the vibe, the place is a fast casual spot, and has nice seating - it's good for a quick meal. The service was good - the food came out quickly. I enjoyed my meal, and I'd recommend this place for a yummy, filling, quick Mexican meal.

    How did I miss this place for such a long time?? We were looking for a quick bite and I'm so happy that a stumbled into this gem. I dare to say this place has some of the best tacos in East Bay. The tacos are loaded with meat, tortillas are freshly made and overall a very friendly staff. Will add this to my regular spots for my Mexican cravings

    Still the favorite Mexican food spot in the area. The workers are always helpful and friendly. They're always busy. But, my corkers and I are able find a table when dining in. Especially in the back and it's not as loud as in the front. Came here for lunch and finally tried their carne asada super quesadilla. Full of ingredients and it was huge. I was only able to eat half. Which of course my son enjoyed having the other half when I got home from work. Always great service and food every time we come here.

    I've been to Taqueria Los Pericos a few times and tried their carne asada burrito and various tacos which are pretty standard. Place is bustling with the locals and popular as portions are generous and offer a salsa/condiment bar. I love options! Tables available for dine in and no nonsense and casual. Order at the counter and food brought out. Overall, food decent for basic Mexican fare and would visit for other items. Unfortunately, doesn't satisfy my burrito craves. Plenty of parking in the Ace Hardware shopping center.

    My favorite taqueria in Dublin. The portions are always massive. There's plenty of seating in the front and the back of the restaurant. Large parking lot. Good to eat there and good to go. Huge selection of salsas. The red salsa is delicious and perfectly spicy. My favorites are their wet burrito, chilaquiles, and bean and cheese burrito. The staff is also friendly and I've seen the same faces for years.

    2 Chile Relleno Plate
    Jeff W.

    Los Pericos has been here FOREVER and it's usually pretty busy with eat-in and take out orders. Pretty decent menu and the portions sizes are good too. In my picture, you see it's a full plate. Stack on unlimited free chips and salsa, you get full. I'll say sometimes it's hit or miss on the food though. A couple times my chile was not cooked enough and the cheese was cold and not melted. These specific experiences were about a year or two ago. We came here last Friday around 6:30 and only waited 10 min to order and our food was ready in another 5 minutes. It was prepared well.

    2 Chile Relleno Plate...comes with lots of corn tortillas. Ate half took the other half home for the next day

Burrito comes with eggs, jack and cheddar cheese, tator tots, and your choice of protein (I choose bacon). The difference between American style and Mexican style is that American style has tator tots and Mexican style has roasted potatoes. The burrito comes out hot. Cheese is melted. Every thing is incorporated with one another. Tator tots adds a texture crunch. I've been to places where it felt like they just tossed cold ingredients together. Also the horchata was bomb. Not overly sweet. It's typical taco shop, so benches and tables are together. Normal decor on the walls and some security camera light bulbs over table. Some bar tops. Limited sitting so if it's busy might be difficult to get a table. Salsa and tortilla chip bar is also available. My only thing is the wait. Took about 30 minutes to get from ordering to getting the burrito. So when we come back, gonna order online for pick up to reduce the wait.

They offer a salsa bar with at least six different salsas, which was a nice touch, but none of them had any real spice or much flavor. I ordered the ribeye torta, and it was pretty bland. I ended up adding salt and jalapeños just to give it some flavor. My family had their chicken burritos and they too were disappointed with the lack of flavors. I really wanted to enjoy the meal, but it fell short of my expectations.

The asada tacos were easily the highlight--solid 8/10 and definitely the "hit" of the meal. The carnitas were decent (around a 5 or 6), and while the salsa verde was good, the other salsas lacked a deep, authentic sabor. However, as a Mexican who knows my beans, the refried beans were a major disappointment. They tasted like they came straight from a can and had a strange oil flavor that just didn't sit right. Pro Tip: Ask for extra lime and cilantro. They tend to go heavy on the onions but light on the greens. Their Chile de Árbol is great, but you'll need at least 4 or 5 limes to really bring the flavors out! the customer service was a 10/10 :) thanks ladies

The owner/ manager ( not sure who) made kind of big deal about how "special" I am to be the only customer who gets a basket. We both thought it was awkward and rude at the same time lol. They have two small rooms to sit at a table. The tv was turned up when we were half way through the meal. It was much too loud for the small space. Another weird event. We couldn't wait to leave. Outdoor seating? There are a few small tables in the front of the restaurant, but the road noise was too loud for that option. Impressions The tacos were bland and unappetizing. I was very surprised how they lacked flavor. My husband had some kind of ala carte plate. He loves Mexican food! It was a disappointing meal for both of us. Suggestions The customer is the focus so you earn return visits. I think that was lost to the staff on this particular day. It's not a big deal to offer a bowl or basket for chips. If you have customers, especially who aren't watching tv, turning the volume up for the employees to hear is not going to make a good impression.
