6/6/2020My first time at this restaurant. Food was very good. Checkout lady was very nice. Take out only during nCOV-19. Workers all in masks, place is very clean. Workers all looked healthy and happy.

4/24/2020Amazing food!!! New favorite. And close to home. The carne asada tacos and the horchata are the best! Will definitely be back for a massive pick up.

3/20/20201 check-inI found this Mexican restaurant on Yelp and knew what I was getting into, because there is a location in Santa Cruz that I used to always visit. Compared to that location, this one is not on par but not too bad as well. I ordered a vegetarian burrito and was pleased that they had an array of salsas just like they do in the Santa Cruz location. However, the salsas were just not as good as the ones in Santa Cruz.
The vegetarian burrito itself was okay, nothing too special, but at the very least had rice that was not under or overcooked, which is a problem I have had at some Mexican establishments. The rice itself was flavoured just enough, and got me to keep eating more.
I have yet to try their fish tacos which is something I have heard a lot about, and am going to definitely try it the next time I visit. For now, this place is not bad but it definitely does not live up to its Santa Cruz counterpart. - Miguel L.San Jose, CA1269 friends70 reviews425 photos
2/25/2020Los Pericos has been around for a while now and they are some of the competition to the Mexican Seafood places in Santa Clara County. They cook their fish tacos like true professionals. The fish is tilapia nice and grilled. They slapp into double corn tortilla with some pico de gallo and you are good to go. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Pretty nice on these sunny days. Service is fast. Without delays. The drinks on the machine are free refills.
Parking is great. Campbell Ca is a nice affluent area it is next to Saratoga and Los Gatos and Cupertino the better part of Santa Clara County. Been coming here over 10 years now. The salsa bar has a cover over the entire bar. I cheated and lowered my phone to get the better picture. Just in case some of those people are wondering.
eeeewwww! Open salsa bar. That is a NO. It is covered. All done up to Santa Clara County Health Code. They have other meals and burritos and chimichangas and carnitas and.... read the menu.

1/25/2020Got here about 1:30 on a Saturday and it was busy . A constant in and out of customers.
The roasted salsa and pico di galllo at the salsa bar and chips are great.
The salsa was precisely chopped and so was the lengua.
I got a regular lengua burrito with extra pico and it was huge , finished the whole thing too. Not overly salty done just right.
I would probably try the al pastor next or just the carne asada should be solid .
Everyone was eating the wet Burrito

4/24/20201 check-inDecided to try this place for to-go food during this SIP order. Man was the food salty! We ordered the 3 enchiladas: Carne asada, cheese, carnitas and shrimp fajita plate. The enchiladas were smaller than I'm used to. The meats were dry and tough. They need to work on making the meats tender and juicy...But the shrimp was perfectly cooked. Everything was salty for me except the shrimp fajita. They put a lot of msg or salt in the retired beans, lettuce salsa, avocado, and rice. The complimentary chips and salsa was good. I liked the mild salsa over the medium salsa.

1/20/20201 check-inI ordered 2 tacos with cheese - lengua and carnitas. The carnitas was so salty it was inedible. The cheese wasn't melted into the taco either so it was cold cheese on top of a salty glob of meat.
They have a salsa bar but even the salsas were so salty they weRe inedible. The chips shouldn't have been the least salty thing I ate.

I do hope you brought this to the attention of our staff immediately but I will bring this to the attention of our staff as wel to ensure this does not happen again. As for the cheese we regularly don’t melt it unless it’s requested and we apologize for any confusion on the menu description.

8/21/2019Walking into this taqueria, it has a very 90s feel to it. I always come to this location because a crispy taco is inexpensive ($3.10) and fills me up. It's not the best taco I've ever had, but for the cost, it's a cheap meal.
When I'm feeling particularly hungry, I'll just eat the chips and salsa from the salsa bar. I love that they do not charge for the salsa bar and it's a help yourself station. They have a good variety of salsa; the salsa verde is my favorite. The chips are thicker than other restaurants and they're perfectly crunchy (reminds me of pita chips). - cool g.Santa Clara, CA38 friends60 reviews36 photos

12/7/20191 check-inYou can tell a lot about a taqueria just by the chips and salsa and Taqueria Los Pericos had me hooked with my first glance at the chips and salsa bar.
They clearly make their own fried tortilla chips, which a fresh, crunchy, and lightly salted vessels to enjoy their flavorful salsas. My Pastor Burrito was a pretty lively combination of grilled pork, beans and salsa. From the menu, it's pretty standard taqueria fare but what I had was really well done.
This was my first time there and I was impressed. I'll be back for sure.

5/20/2020The food is good here they give pretty good serving sizes the only thing is the meat is very dry the chile verde is almost like carne asad and they do not wear gloves or masks during this time which makes me a bit hesitant to order from here during SIP

7/12/2019I was in West San Jose for a class. By the time the class ended at 9pm, I realized that I haven't eaten dinner and was starving. I went to the nearest taqueria, but it was already closed for the day. I was advised by my teacher to go to Taqueria Los Pericos, and she was pretty optimistic about it being open.
Thank goodness the place closes late! I arrived at Taqueria Los Pericos around 9:30pm. To my surprise the place was busy, and customers were trickling in after me. The kitchen was still open, so they were still taking orders.
I had a positive experience with overall customer service. The employee, who took my order, was very friendly and had a good sense of humor as he cracked jokes. I appreciated his confidence with the food at Taqueria Los Pericos. He said I couldn't go wrong with anything off the menu. Despite there being many other customers waiting ahead of me for their orders, I thought the food came out considerably quickly (~5 min after I placed my order).
Taqueria Los Pericos had a huge menu, and it appeared that their specialty was wet burritos. I got what I always get at Mexican restaurants though, which was a chile relleno. I typically get it a la carte too, and I was pleased to find that it was the cheapest I've seen so far at Taqueria Los Pericos.
While briefly waiting for the food, I helped myself to the self-serve chips salsa bar. I loved the variety of salsas. I could tell the chips have been sitting out for some time, but they were crunchy and didn't taste stale.
I enjoyed my chlie relleno. It had a nice, thick egg batter. The cheese inside the pepper was so melty and gooey that you could pull the cheese forever. The red sauce on top of the chile relleno was flavorful. - Rey ..Hillsdale, San Jose, CA0 friends2 reviews
6/14/2020Super Burrito with the Salsa Verde is my go to! The soft tacos are good too, their packed full of whichever meat you choose.
- Allan K.San Jose, CA
6/9/2019You go here to get seafood, nothing else. This place is perfect for all seafood. I wanted nacho cheese fries but the guy gave me an alternative. Great service. Always busy too. This is the place to go to right after a morning activity. Plenty of parking, never had a problem with that.

1/19/2020Thank you for dinning with us and enjoying our menudo, we apologize we failed to deliver on that burrito and made a mistake on a honestly simple burrito. I will bring this to the attention of our staff to make sure these mistakes don’t happen again and hope to see you dine in again with us and have a more positive experience.

11/23/2019A great local dive. No you can't reserve seats, but the food is cheap and yummy and the kids LOVE it there.
The service is really great and sets them above the competition. - Christina H.San Jose, CA0 friends2 reviews1 photo
1/31/20203rd time there, 1 st. Time good 2nd time, chicken super burrito just didn't do it one bit for me put it in fridge to East next day. Tossed out in the garbage. Tried again tonight, Chile verde burrito and just as gross. 2 bites and it's getting tossed, no more chances. No more wasting my money.
- Ian M.San Jose, CA8 friends22 reviews
4/24/2020Everything is cooked/seasoned right and the burritos are sized well. The chips are good and the sauce the give with the burrito is the right amount of spicy. If you want a good old fashion burrito, this is the absolute right place for you.
Minus one star because there really isn't anything overly unique about this place, not saying that is a huge problem
