One of my go to places. Good food. Friendly operators. Nice location and seating. I recommend this spot to anyone. I'm like the burritos, the quesadillas and the combo plates. Depends on my mood. Choices for everyone.
Not as showy as the one in Pelton plaza but definitely the better of the 2 locations. Food is average but predictable and well made with fresh ingredients. Menu has good variety and orders are made quickly. Restaurant seating inside and outside.
(4.5) Quite honestly, out of all the Los Perico's locations - this one is my favorite. I love to come to this place for the breakfast burrito. It's so loaded that it's a meal for two to share and usually coming in early in the morning - you can get anything from the loaded salsa bar. The service is always really good and food is make quick but not to the point it feels rushed.
(5 out of 5) I know it wasn't the best picture but this place is really good, the best sit down Mexican restaurant in my opinion, I've been going here since birth. I get a super quesadilla with extra al pastor. The service here is also amazing, right in the heart of downtown San Leandro there's a lot of other places in the area that I'd suggest checking out. They have an amazing salsa bar with a spicy lime onion I definitely suggest you try. When you come tell them Rothyy sent you!
I didn't realize there was a Los Pericos just down the street from the one in Pelton Center! I actually prefer this location because it's less busy--at least it was when I went--and it felt a little cleaner. I also noticed that the prices might be slightly lower. I ordered a chicken burrito, which came out to about $15. It wasn't a super burrito, but it would have been around $13 if I hadn't added guacamole. Next time, I'll skip the guac since they have a guacamole salsa I can just use instead. Overall, I really liked it and plan to come back. The only downside is the parking, which is just street parking, but there's plenty of space in the nearby shopping center. This is more of a mini review since I've only been once, but I'll probably update it after my next visit!
Omg the portions are HUGE, I got full just looking at it! Decent price for the large amount of food you get. I love that they self serve horchata, Jamaica drink outside and the salsa bar!
I had food delivered from GrubHub. I got a grilled chicken super burrito, small side of rice and beans. The food was very flavorful and good chips, fresh and Chrisp Give this place a try Bon appétit
I've been here a few times before ... I always get the burritos and it's a hit or miss sometimes... just right or too much rice and very little meat but this time it was made right besides the fat from the steak gritsal ..customer service is always great the place is very clean and I would recommend
Great pricing , friendly service ! Fully loaded tacos and burrito !! We also got the pastor quesadilla bombbb . Def would be back again .
Really great Mexican restaurant in downtown San Leandro on E 14th! They have complimentary chips and salsa bar that you can enjoy before your order arrives. Of course, you can get as much as you want while you're eating too! I really like their chimichanga with chicken (pollo asada) and beef tongue (Lengua). The portions are HUGE. There's plenty of seating here. I left this place stuffed. It was all so delicious! Definitely one of my fave Mexican places to come to if I have cravings for Mexican food!
