Killer tacos, full of tasty meat. Tasted Pastor, Carnitas, Chorizo, Chile Verde but likely any are good. Recommend the “Pericos” taco for best mix. Don’t need the xtras as regular is plenty. Burrito fans loved the Super. Yes these tacos have soft corn tortillas, tho menu also shows crispy. Earlier visit tried the Baja (fish) taco–was good but not as good as the meat varieties. Regular flan quite good, not really traditional but good. Coco flan was more like chocolate cake, not flan. Pickup good as you can grab bunch of their really good chipotle salsa and chips.

The burritos are huge, fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned meats, very tasty. They got a free chip and salsa bar as well.
Big portions, authentic, very tasty and great value. Would recommend.

Stopped by for lunch. Ordered one enchilada with chicken combination plate. Had leftovers to go. It was good. The red sauce had good flavor. The woman who took my order was kind and patient with me. Since I had changed my mind on what I wanted.
I love that they have a salsa bar. And free chips. Chips and salsa should always be included at no additional cost when dining in. Thats my opinion.
The restaraunt had plenty of tables to choose from. Plenty of parking too.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We stopped by Taqueria Los Pericos in Aptos for lunch on Sunday, and it was fantastic! I had a burrito, and my partner got the fresh tostada, and both were absolutely delicious. You could tell the ingredients were super fresh.
The service was great, too—everyone was very helpful and friendly. On top of the delicious food, the prices were just right. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend this spot!

Probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in the whole area. The portions are very generous, they use great quality meat which they cook perfectly, and the ingredients and sides all taste very fresh. Some of the most tender carne asada I’ve ever gotten, so far I’ve had their tacos and a super burrito and I left very satisfied. Will be coming back again and again when I’m in the area

Excellent taqueria in Aptos! Clean, Fresh, affordable. My favorite is the green salsa made with avocado. The others are good too it just depends on your personal taste. Quick, reliable good and always fresh. I had the Baja style fish taco which was overflowing with fresh fish and the Torta con pollo which had tender fresh chunks of chicken and a fresh fresh bun. Did I mention Fresh?

I was looking for a local, and delicious place to grab some dinner before I went out for the night. This place popped up and was very close to where I had pulled over to search. Despite there being 3-4 locations, I didn’t feel as if I was in a generic chain. The food was very fresh and came out hot. I had the grilled fish tacos. The chip and salsa bar was tasty. I loved the avocado verde and the other one that was very very spicy. The bartender (Marco) was cool and we had good conversation. The restaurant set-up style is fast food but it wasn’t ‘fast food’ quality, meaning, this was very good. I would suggest that you go and find out for yourself. I’ll be back if I ever get to travel there again.

Tacos were incredible. I got the pastor and the Baja fish tacos, their portions were huge and were delicious with every bite. My partner got the asada tacos and the carnitas and they were also excellent. These are some of my favorite tacos I’ve had, too bad I live so far away(4hrs)!

Great meu! A lot to choose from and delicious all around. Aptos needed a restaurant like this. Eating at the location in Santa Cruz and now in Aptos – I couldn’t be happier to know I can somehow beat the long lines for Great tasting Mexican food. The wait isn’t bad if your looking for dinner during the rush. Customer Service is friendly and helpful with recommendations. The Salsa bar is a killer for senses – yummy! Now just waiting for the bar to open!
