Our first visit was okay. Hubby had chicken quesadillas. I had combo plate with cheese enchilada and beef taco. We both loved the beans and rice. We both were not impressed with the chips and salsa. We would visit again. read more

Tortilleria Perches is as good as Mexican Food gets... friendly, fun, and reasonably priced. I recommend the Enchillada Dinner with various meats and tell them to top it "Flag Style".... you won't be sorry. read more

Worth the detour off the highway! Beans and rice are so delicious and the carnitas is wicked porky. Good service too!

Very good food. Love the salsa and tamales. The beans are really good too. The street style tacos are good, but I've had better. Would definitely go back! Authentic Mexican for sure! read more

Read the reviews so I wanted to give it a try and maybe we came on a bad night but the food was bland and most of the chips in the basket were soggy. Gave them 2 stars because the service was good. read more

So yummy! Dollar taco Tuesdays are a tradition for my family now. Tortillas made in house cannot be beat.

I saw all the reviews and heard how great it was from all my friends. I didn't it find it that way. My tacos were literally dripping grease. My chips were stale. It took 20 minutes to get our drinks, another 30 for food, never got a drink refill, and we barely saw our server ever. Weird atmosphere in the back. read more

Two words: Taco Tuesday! We live close by and come here often. It is very authentic and the team there is so fun and friendly. We get our food to go often and they are quick and so nice. We go almost every week for taco Tuesday. I have heard great things about their tamales but have never gotten them. We have now gotten our friends hooked on this amazing place! read more

Love love love the tacos. Absolutely incredible authentic Mexican tacos. Just wish they had beer and longer hours.

This place deserves no less than 5 stars. Have been to this hidden gem a few times now and I have been more than pleased each time. If this place were closer to my house I definitely be here more times a week than I'd like to admit that I eat out. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, the food is flavorful and authentic, and more authentic than any other Mexican place you will find in this area. There is nothing fancy about the looks of this place but don't be fooled! Eat here and you will never settle for mediocre Mexican food in this town again! read more

Love this place, this is THE spot for mexican food. Chill atmosphere since they recently renovated. This is how you know they're good, I made a takeout order and although they messed up my order I was still extremely pleased with my food. This place is delishhhh! Their chips and salsa are good too. read more

Love this food. Server was tops. Prices are fair. You know it's gonna be good when the people eating here are a mix of locals from the Ozarks and people who probably grew up eating this kind of food in their own home country. read more

An authentic Mexican dining experience with outstanding service. Tamales were great only rivaled by the lengua tacos. Chips and salsa are on the house the first time and a buck fifty during subsequent visits. Great food! read more

Read all the reviews so thought we would give it a try. Not too impressed. We had the chicken tacos (being Taco Tuesday) and it had little flavor. I also had a chicken tamale and it was so spicy I couldn't finish it. 3 stars because staff was friendly and chips and salsa were good. I prefer Jose Loco ' s for sure! read more

I will start off saying all the 5 star reviews are correct! My wife had a favorite Mexican restaurant in town, Maria's, until yesterday. We eat out pretty often and I have been cooking since I was 8. There are a lot of places in town that claim to have Mexican food but all of them fall short. Perches is REAL Mexican food and everything they cook is authentic. They are a little hard to find but just use your GPS. Try things that you never heard of, you won't be disappointed. We will be regular customers from now on. read more

I am trying to figure out how I can have this food for every meal. Undeniably the best Mexican food I have ever had. My birthday is in a couple weeks and THIS is the place I will be choosing for my birthday celebration. As if the fantastic food was not enough, the service and price was even better. I can't wait to go back and will frequent this place on a regular basis. If you like chains like Mexican Villa, don't bother. Tortilleria Perches is way out of your culinary league. read more

I don't normally write reviews, but I felt the need to. The food is delicious, the staff loves their jobs, and the owner is a great businessman who knows how to take care of his patrons. Very classy! Thank you. read more

So delicious! My mouth was watering the second my plate hit the table, and I moaned at my first bite of their tender and juicy carnitas. I'm sad I didn't have more room to eat mas tacos! 5/5 would def recommend, and I will be back for more. read more

I adore the staff. I feel like one of the family every time I'm there. The food is excellent. They're accommodating of my special requests. Since I'm from California, I have a different idea of how I would like my food prepared than Springfield locals. This is by far the most authentic Mexican food you can get. Highly recommend their tamales, which are homemade I believe twice a week! read more

Very good Mexican food!! I've been craving authentic Mexican food since returning home from Mexico where I lived for 3 years. This restaurants has a friendly staff, amazing Mexican dishes and I would highly recommend it. If you're ever in the area, it is well worth your time to stop by for lunch or dinner. read more

Amazing food and service .. I really enjoy enjoy visiting here.. Fresh ingredients and cold beer there is also a full bar

Simply the best place I have ever eaten. My favorites are the Mixed Meat Burritto and the Fish Tacos. Friendly service great food.

This is the best and most authentic Mexican food you will find in Springfield and their prices are cheaper than a fast food chain, so now you have no excuse to eat bad Mexican food. read more

Excellent food and service. Try the family recipe and hot salsa. It's very good, and truly spicy.

Best Mexican food in town. The carnitas are amazing as are the tamales. Love the guacamole too! Jesus and his family are very sweet and make sure you are well taken care of! Also very clean! read more

Finally found a true authentic Mexican restaurant. I have been twice now and tried many different things, and not once has it disappointed. Today we left with a dozen pork tamales to take home as well so we can enjoy it more often. We will become regulars there for sure! These tamales remind me of growing up in Denver and picking up bags of them from a little old ladies house who made excellent homemade authentic tamales, these are even better here. read more

Authentic Mexican is not fancy, neither is this place. How do you tell a good Mexican place? Tip #1 The beef should be shredded, not ground, it is here! . Kitschy nick knacks crammed everywhere. They have a tortilla machine in the main room, but I have never seen it running. . Very good inexpensive food. Tostadas were the best. Fish tacos not so much (They must not be from Baja) . $1 tacos on Tuesday, but they are only $1.79 the rest of the week read more

I've been going to Perches for about 8 years now. I come from a Mexican family so finding good Mexican in town was important. Their tamales are home made in-house and will blow your mind! The frijoles are to die for and so is their Spanish rice. I usually get a large container of each to go and they don't last long. Great for mexican food beginners and experts. read more

Been here several times and always been one of best mexican restaurants I have eating at, but saying that it seems the food has gotten more basic generic American type mexican- sad! Service is still very good but another issue is price on menu is not what they charge you! Ordered enchiladas today price on menu was 7.99 I was charged 8.99-this actually happened last time also- I probably will not go back, seems like this always happens to great businesses. I gave it 3 stars only for the service. read more

My husband ordered the Carnitas based on a review stating how wonderful they were. He was served a plate with a huge piece of fat included. Some of the pieces of meat were dry and difficult to chew. We will not be returning. read more

I think that this is actually the only decent Mexican food in Springfield MO. Most of the time when a Springfieldian raves about Mexican food, it turns out to be really, really bad. For example the joint downtown serves a great margarita, but has foul food, and they are always crowded. Chalk it up to lack of experience. read more

Actual Mexican food. Not Tex-Mex, not Mo-mex. Good Carne Asada, awesome queso and huevos rancheros. Nice folks. An awesome place to hang. Support local. read more

I had heard many great things about this place, so it was time to give it a shot. Here was my experience --- The family that runs it is very sweet. They were all smiling a lot and very friendly. I ordered chips and red salsa, steak burrito, and a coke. My total was $13. The steak adds a dollar to your bill, but I don't remember reading that on the menu. I could be wrong, though. I accepted it anyway. The red salsa was very good. It tasted like tomatoes which means that it wasn't crazy over-seasoned, and that's the way I like it. It had onions and cilantro in it which added good flavor, so I enjoyed it. When I opened my to-go container, I saw the rice, beans, and the burrito, and it came with green salsa. Unfortunately, it looks like the container of green salsa was thrown into the container as, when I opened it, it was sitting in the middle of the refried beans. That was not appealing. The small container of salsa should be put into the bag outside of the container. The green salsa, though, had great flavor. It was spicy, and I enjoyed the chunks of onion in the salsa. That was great. The steak burrito wasn't very good, unfortunately. The steak was very dry. The burrito didn't have much salsa inside of it so, when you pair that with dry steak, the burrito itself was very dry. I used the green salsa which made it bearable, but that dry steak kind of ruined the burrito. I must have caught them on a bad day as there are so many great reviews, so I may give them another try at some other point. read more

Meh. Chose to eat there based on Yelp rating and 100+ reviews. Maybe we hit it on a bad night, but it was not very good. I got the Carne Asada and the meat was very gristly. Even the salsa and queso lacked flavor. Would not recommend. I enjoyed Jose Loco's much more. read more

We were the bad people that came in close to closing time but they still were awesome. The tamales are good, but the burrito was ridiculous! Good chips & salsa and ask for the spicy extra if you like a kick. Love the family atmosphere and how nice everyone was! read more

Best authentic mexican food in Springfield! Fresh tortillas that are delicious! Having lived in Mexico I can accurately say it's a very authentic atmosphere. read more

you want authentic, support an amazing family- the breakfast burritos are completely legit!!! love this place

Love this place , best Mexican food in town ! I have been here several times and it has been nothing short of amazing every time !!

Best Mexican food in Springfield. I came back from California after three years of being spoiled by the Mexican food there and had no hope until I found this place. GOODSTUFFANDPEOPLE! read more

Without a doubt, if you have the hankering for Mexican food, this is far better the any chain or fast food. Good menu. Mexican beer (yay!). Family owned and operated. Food was good. Value was good. Service was good. I just wouldn't call it great. read more
