We have been going to Perches for 13+ years. When we moved from CA we were a bit homesick for authentic Mexican food. When we took our first bites, we felt like we were home. It's always consistent and delicious! If something is ever wrong, they go above and beyond to make it right. Please don't go there expecting fast food style, this is real Mexican recipes from the owner herself and she has strict standards for her staff. They survived the pandemic for a reason when other small businesses folded. Go give them a try! read more

This place is absolutely amazing!! The owner and staff are warm and friendly. The food is great! My fiance and I went two times, once during taco Tuesday and again on Saturday when they were serving their birra tacos. We really love their pork carnitas! The pork is very tender and juicy but not too greasy. It tastes like something from a bbq restaurant and we really enjoyed the birra tacos as well. They were very satisfying. I liked the ambiance a lot. There's three different sitting areas to to choose from including a bar. We will definitely be back!! Would recommend! read more

Went to Perches for Taco Tuesday and really chowed down! It's hard to beat a pulled pork dollar taco that tastes great. The restaurant was very busy so a lot of folks have discovered this neighborhood gem. The place is an eclectic collection of attached rooms which helps keep it from being too noisy. It also has TVs. I met Maria, the owner and she is a sweetheart. She and her servers genuinely appreciate their customers. This is definitely a repeater for me! read more

Service was good. Everyone was friendly. The food was very bland. The chicken taste questionable. The beef had no flavor to it at all nor the beans. The place was decently clean but I definitely won't be back. I was definitely disappointed especially knowing it has such high reviews!! read more

We've always had great food here . On a Thursday we discovered 2 great specials. They have great carnitas and the thurs "all in one " soup with the short rib is delicious. We've also had a great green pozole. I think it was. If you're cooking at home, this is a great place to get fresh tortillas. It's a very solid place to eat and enjoy. read more

Good food. Good service. Good ambiance. Authentic Mexican food. Guacamole is absolutely amazing as well as any pork dish they have on the menu. read more

I moved to Springfield from SoCal and this has been my go to spot for Mexican food. It's truly become a place where I feel I can come to relax after work or catch up with family. I've tried so many in the area but their Taco Tuesday & Tamale Thursday bring me back in weekly. Every server here is amazing and will feel like family- the owner can often be seen checking in on tables and saying hello to regulars! Smaller detail, but their chips/salsa are great too! read more

My favorite place in town. Fabulous people and great food. The enchiladas are the best. Love the fish and the pastor tacos.

OUTSTANDING in every way! Best authentic Mexican food we've ever eaten. We heard about TP for years from our son, Sam & wife, while in their college days. They raved about it! They spoke highly of Maria & Jesus, the owners. So of course we had to try it when we visited the area. My husband & I finally understood why they loved this place! Good service, delicious fresh food & nice atmosphere. I showed a picture of Sam & his wife to Maria, & she recognized them! Our shredded beef chimichanga dinners were incredible & a generous portion at that! My hubby enjoyed tasting the various salsas. For dessert, we had the best sopapillas, so fresh & tasty. We cannot wait to visit again. read more

Went for $1 Tacos, Taco Tuesday, hoorah. Good Tacos good service. My wife and I got out of there for less than $30.

Amazing, loved this place so much. Service was awesome, attentive but not overbearing. I cannot believe one of the reviews on here says the food isn't flavorful. I had the enchiladas dinner, best I've ever had. Margaritas are great, very decent amount of tequila. Ambiance is fun and cozy, small hole in the wall, and very very clean. I can't wait to go back read more

I had a great experience here. I had all kinds of questions on beer, salsas, preparation... the gentleman waiting on me was super knowledgeable and accommodating. He even brought me a tiny beer sample of a draft I wasn't familiar with, a separate hot as blazes salsa to doctor up stuff, and appropriate to go packaging when I was stuffed! Love that they have daily and weekend specials. Wish I lived nearby - this would be a routine haunt for me! read more

Food is not the best cheese dip so bad and don't have sone of the stuff that's on the menu

I am just visiting Springfield from Arizona where I eat lots of Mexican food. The waitress came immediately with chips an salsa (very mild). She recommended the fish taco plate. It was very good. Two street tacos with grilled fish and a few fresh jalapeños. The chipotle sauce added plenty of zip, but not too much. The rice and refried beans were good. read more

The vibe was a little different, no music. Service was perfect. The food was exceptional for the price. $10 for a flight of four tacos! read more

They play Mexican music and always have something going on with Cinco de mayo being the funnest. read more

My first time visiting this place. I initially came in with a Chimichanga in mind. However, quickly changed my mind after viewing the menu. There are so many great optioms on it. I ordered the bandera burito loaded with steak and chicken. The tomato, lettuce and onions are a nice touch as well. The burito was topped with verde, con queso and red sauce; yum! read more

We ate in on a Wednesday night. The service was friendly. The chips and salsa were fresh and delicious. My eight-year old son loved the burrito from the kids menu. Sometimes he feels like the kids menu items are too kiddy, but this was a satisfying meal for him. He also liked the beans and rice in addition to the burrito. I had the pozole verde special. It was really good, with fresh cabbage, onions, and limes. I liked the proportion of hominy, pork, and broth. I couldn't finish the medium bowl. I can't imagine what the large bowl would have been like. My wife tried the picadillo plate. She wasn't expecting the vegetables to be the frozen mixed vegetables type, but the flavor was good. My son asked if we could go back the next day, but we had traveled on to Branson. We will go back next time we are in Springfield. read more

Awful. Don't waste your time or money. Service is friendly enough but inattentive and inadequate. Food is substandard, cold, and covered in cheese to mask its flavor. House margarita is watered down and bland, served in a glass mason jar with a handle. Even the chips and salsa are subpar. Ambiance is dark and dirty. This place is a definite pass. Keep moving and go somewhere else. read more

I had lunch with my wife on Saturday the 15th, and were very disappointed. From the salsa to the entrees everything that we had was bland and tasteless. My wife ordered two ground beef tacos, and a chicken tamale, I ordered a chicken taco, a ground beef tostada, and a Carne Asada burrito. Nothing had any flavor, we both found that very strange, because we based our decision to go to Tortilleria Perches, on the reviews that we read saying the food was Authentic, delicious, and flavorful. When we complained to the waitress, she called over the manager and her comment was to ask if it was it "the ground beef, we are working on the ground beef" It seemed an interesting question, I didn't understand what that meant, but I didn't ask any further questions. The manager told us they had several different flavors of salsa to choose from ( something that we were not offered when we were seated). Long story, short we did not have to pay for the meal that we didn't, we were offered a gift card, if we wanted to try them again. We politely declined, read more

I ordered the large tamale family meal (with chicken) to go, it was delicious the food was prepared on time and wrapped securely and all in one piece when I got home! Every time we get a large family meal at Tortilleria Perches it never disappoints! read more

My wife loves to eat here. The tacos are authentic Mexican, and the refried beans are among the best in town.

Not great I used to eat there all of the time. I took my granddaughter there for lunch, not as good as it used to be.

One of the best local restaurants in Springfield- and that says a lot for Restaurant City! El pastor or pork tacos or burritos - you can't go wrong. Love supporting local - especially when the food is the best around. Highly recommend!​ read more

I just got here from California and I was hesitant to even try any Mexican restaurants out here. Let's just say this place didn't disappoint at all. Very good food. Bien ambiente y la comida está muy buena. 100% auténtica la comida y el servicio estuvo al cien también. Da gusto encontrar raza por estos rumbos. Lo recomiendo a todos. read more

Decent house margarita and good tacos! They were accommodating for my uncle who wanted his quesadilla on corn tortillas since he can't have flour which was really kind. However, my buddy got a piña colada that tasted mostly like water. Overall a great place to enjoy tacos and watch football! read more

The food is good, the people are friendly, close/ample parking, and the bar has plenty of tv's to catch the game(s). Daily specials add a little variety to the otherwise routine menu. read more

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I wish I didn't have to give such a low score but the food really was not that good. The Menudo was terrible! The bean dip was 90% cheese and 10% bean and soupy. read more

One of the few places in Springfield to get actual authentic Mexican food. I have been multiple times and it's great every time.

My family and I moved to Springfield, MO from California almost 7 years ago and this is the most authentic Mexican food that we have found in town. This restaurant is our favorite spot for Mexican food. read more

Good service. Excellent food. Really like the tamale's and everything else. I like the medium salsa.

This was our first visit to Tortilleria Perches based on reviews from friends. We are from California and are looking for California Mexican style food. Prices are reasonable and staff is super friendly. Unfortunately the food did not live up to the hype. Refried beans has no flavor. Street tacos were bland and the enchilada had no flavor. Was disappointed and will have to keep looking for our California Mexican restaurant. read more

I can't believe I've never posted a review of this fabulous Mexican restaurant. We've gone here for a few years now almost every time we are in Springfield. I we don't eat in, I order to take home. I think it's very authentic, with the owner's family recipes. There are some things there I don't like (i.e. picadillo), but the things I do love, that's what I order over and over again. Take for example, their gorditas. Not only delicious but the biggest ones I've had anywhere. Their shredded beef is so incredibly flavored. I often order 2 lbs to bring home, which comes with chopped onions, lime quarters, and cilantro. I use the shredded beef to make a soft taco or tostada with the 3 dozen homemade corn tortillas I also get from Tortilleria Perches. And their red salsa is good, their green salsa the best anywhere. My favorite item on the menu is Guisado de Barbacoa. Paul likes the carnitas, or is it the chile verde? The one negative is the it's pretty cramped inside, but hey, I gladly put up with that minor issue to get great food. read more

The food was excellent - very authentic and tasty. We had chorizo and eggs as well as migas and we loved it. Good refried beans and flour tortillas, too. The service lacked a bit. I ordered a cup of coffee and that's exactly what I got - no spoon and no sugar. I requested those and after the waiter had dealt with other tables for awhile, he brought the spoon and sugar. I was curious as to why he wouldn't bring those with the coffee. This restaurant has three rooms with tables and most were empty when we arrived. We were offered a table in the smallest, darkest room by a work area and the restrooms. I saw parties of two men, a man and a boy and a man with two children enter the restaurant and all were given tables in the brighter, bigger rooms. Did this happen because we were two older women? Maybe, because this has happened to me before in restaurants. read more

Mixed reviews from our experience. Overall, we had a fine time and everything was just okay. The chips and salsa are fantastic. I wanted to go here for pozole and found it to be a little flat. I've had pozole with more "zing" and dimension. I'm no pozole expert but I think this was pretty mediocre. The wife ordered more tex-mex style items like tacos and a burrito with rice and beans and, just like other reviewers have commented they were very average or below. Bland, afterthought, un-loved ground beef like it's from a school cafeteria. The spanish rice might as well have been from a box but the refried beans are very good. The waiter was pretty good but he omitted part of my order and then struck up a conversation with some regulars that came in for about 20 minutes and didn't check on us. I might go back if I don't find somewhere else that has pozole. read more

This is my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant in the world. Their tortillas are beautiful, both corn and flour. And their carnitas are to die for. Service is always impeccable and quick. It doesn't get better than this! There's not much else to say because there's no easy way to describe perfection. Come eat here! read more

Not a huge fan. Being from Texas, when I hear "authentic Mexican food" this place certainly does not come to mind. The food is mediocre, at best. Decent margaritas though. read more
