Perico's Albuquerque

This was probably the best burrito I've had on my short New Mexico trip. I got the green combination mini burrito and it was pork marinated with green chilies. I really appreciate that they included a smaller size for people with smaller stomachs and to top it all off, it was only $6 which is a steal. I'm not sure if this is the case for all of their locations, but there is no seating on the inside so this is pick up only. I would have liked it if there was seating, but it wasn't terrible eating in the car albeit it was a bit messy from all the pork and chile juices. Depending on the time you go, there might be a long wait for pick up because it seems to be a popular spot. As soon as I bit into the burrito, the beans and cheese were bursting out, and I just thought that the pulled pork was so flavorful and marinated in the green chilies. I don't like chilies or spicy food, but after New Mexico, I have a newfound obsession with hatch green chilies, which partly stemmed from having this burrito. New Mexican burritos are so iconic and this is definitely a great place to try them out.

Inflation at its finest. These tacos used to be huge! Now there is about a spoonful of meat and a few pieces of garnish. Flavor is still there. But place is a little pricey. I don't know if they are worth the price.

I got 3 burritos smaller than my hand for 29 dollars and they tasted bland and watery microwaved frozen junk. Both chicharron burritos had hard undercooked potatoes and not peeled correctly and the chicharron tasted so gross slimy and half hard disgusting I had to spit it out and throw them away. The bacon breakfast burrito was the same hard potatoes and bland frozen junk. For that expensive price I could have gotten so much better here in burque that was a disgrace to New Mexican food. I will not be going back again and I warn you not to also you will be upset. Look at me pics below and zoom in.

Albuquerque is known for its food scene. Pericos is a fun visit, and part of the positive aspect of the food scene here. There are many smaller size, family, run, unpretentious restaurants with great food at great prices. I enjoy attending events at outpost performance center, and this restaurant is conveniently near. I stopped in last night for dinner. Friendly staff. Comfortable atmosphere. Seating inside is at most 12 people? I had the tamales special which included two tamales, rice, beans, and a salad. It was all delicious, and it is rare for me not to be able to finish some thing, but there was more food than I could eat! It made a nice take home box.

Super good authentic Mexican food. It's hard to find Mexican food in Albuquerque, so make sure you stop by here. I've only had their carne asada and chicken because I'm a sucker for them but they are really good. Short review but go try it.

wow these burritos are small. #3. I couldn't afford a $4 drink lol. #5 a little bigger.

Food is always good and consistent! A few dollars more than Twister's but we'll worth it!

We only came here because Tenampa was closed. $20 for a stuffed sopapilla with tiny, tough, burnt chicharrones. Inedible, as the entire meal tasted burnt. Sopapilla was too big and thick; doughy and bready. Opposite of what it should be. Lots of filler, not enough substance. Serving portion of carne on other plate is a whisper of what it used to be. Trabajador special didn't even fill the to go container, and it's supposed to be a combo meal. I've given this place lots of second chances, but we're done now. Adios!There's no service or ambiance, (to go only) but you are still expected to tip.

The restaurant is now a quick service stand. No restrooms or seating. The food is bland and the portions are smaller. I ordered three tacos for $12.87, added salt and a lot of salsa just to give them flavor. It used to be delicious. Don't waist your time. Lots of other great places to eat in Albuquerque.

I ordered a taco salad special (1) and chips with guacamole. My meat and potatoes was old and burnt. I paid $5.99 for guacamole only to have the container half filled with lettuce and a scoop of guacamole on top w/ side of chips. I preordered my food over the phone 15 min in advance and then waited an additional 15 min, not what I expected nor will I be going back.
