Taqueria El Perico

Best cheese enchiladas! Amazing food, great people, v quick (I was in and out in 20 minutes) Came to this place via Yelp today for a quick lunch, food was so good I'm back 4 hours later after my grueling meeting for an early dinnerA ton of cheese enchiladas (see pic -- under the lettuce and green sauce) and a Mexican Coke for $10And I am having it twice in one day. Take that, cholesterol!Woman who runs the order window is very nice, and food comes out quick (in less than 10 minutes if there's no line)Green sauce is light but has a nice tangy bite to itA good 8-10 ounces just of enchiladas :)I'm told they have a location in OrangeAlso told they have great breakfasts They are in a small strip mall, ample parking lot

All I have ever bought here is the Carnitas burrito and I've had it 3 or 4 times and it's always very very good. 75% to 80% of the total weight is carnitas and the other portion is a little Mexican rice, lettuce and ummm, I think that was it... very good flavor and very moist carnitas always and 2 little tubs of homemade green sauce (salsa verde) come with and it's literally the perfect amount of sauce to drip over the burrito before every few bites. $9 and honestly probably my favorite burrito in the area.

Wow only 1 review?!! This place needs more exposure. This is a tiny hole-in-the-wall authentic Mexican place located next to a liquor store. You order at an outside window (so there's no actual inside seating), and you can seat yourself outside on one of the 3 long green benches resting beneath a green canopy.They have the typical Mexican fare - al pastor, tortas, burritos, tacos, horchata. We got the burrito solo carne = burrito with only meat. You can also order the burrito combinado, which includes rice, beans, and veggies. My burrito came out piping hot - it was so hot that I could barely hold the foil it was wrapped in and had to hold it with an additional napkin. The meat was fresh and the burrito came with a side of grilled onions, limes, and hot sauce. I do wish they would add some avocado/guacamole or chopped onions in their carne asada burrito though.My biggest problem with this place is it is on the pricey side compared to other "Taquerias" in the area. It's $5.39 for a carne asada burrito. With all the amazing Mexican food fare offered in Santa Ana, I think they need to be priced a bit more competitively.CASH ONLY!

Tucked next to a liquor store, a smoke shop, and hundreds of auto repair shops, is a little hole in the wall (literally) mexican food shop.The only table is a family-style wire picnic bench, that is gated off,from the public (i assume to keep away the homeless from loitering)But lets cut down to the chase. The food is awesome. Home cooked Mexican food is for the soul, and this place has a special place in my heart. The prices are decent, a little on the high side given the location, but the quality is awesome. Food comes out freshly cooked and piping hot.Breakfast burrito is awesome, and their salsa is fresh with a kick. If the area doesn't scare you, you should try this place out. The food is bomb dot com.

Love the tacos!!!! The location is a bit sketchy but the food is amazing it's very authentic Mexican food.

OMG this place is sooooooo good! I used to come here when I was little and I recently introduced my husband to this lil spot a few months ago. My 4 star review on this place is strictly about the food only.The food is made fresh and the salsa is pretty good too. The tortas are my personal favorite, my son loves the tacos and my husband's favorites are the breakfast burritos! I have had almost everything on the menu except their breakfast since I am not a breakfast person. Their salsa is better than most places I've been too, they have the caramelized onions too, YUM!Cons: LOCATION! This place is next to a liquor store on 1st street. There are way too many bums around. Its kinda creepy too when you pull up and they all just stare at you..but if you're willing to look past that, then i would recommend this place

Best asada quesadilla in town!! I've been coming here for years and it's just amazing!

This location is not as good as the Orange location. I ordered a carne asada torta and this is what I got....(picture below). It came with slivers of lettuce, bacon, cheese, and dry bread.... I expected more ingredients for a $14 torta...

pésimo servicio no Saben atender al cliente por teléfono no saben tomar una orden tienes q repetir tu orden 4 beses No están preparados para atender al cliente

Really over priced but the burritos are so good so I had to go get one only to be fucking stabbed in my cheek ! I could've swallowed the safety pin and been in so much pain you got lucky I didn't do anything I was so mad and sad bcz they were my favorite! Never going back again
