Taqueria El Perico

This hole in the wall taqueria is legit. Doors are to die for! I suggest calling ahead. This hidden gem is known among the locals and there can be a wait for food. It’s authentic so be prepared to wait for awesomeness.

Best breakfast burrito ever, especially when you add salsa verde! Mmm! Most breakfast burritos taste bland or too cheesy. This one has the perfect amount of meat, eggs, veggies, potatoes and spices. You order the food from outside. The area is ghetto as sh! t… but well worth it.

Always a Satisfied customer! Best Breakfast Burrito I’ve ever had. Although the location is a bit on the Ghetto side, It won’t stop me from coming.

I walked up and told the woman, «Tango hambre pero no como carne» she laughed and said they have nothing for me to eat so i asked about a burrito con frijoles y queso. Plain and simple; the price of the burrito went from 5.50 to 3:23 just as it should. Good sized burrito came with two very spicy sauses on the side and a bag of cooked carrots. Delicious!

Omg! Their tacos are delicious! This tacos are better than taqueria de anda! Even though it’s on the ghetto surrounded by a liquor store and some homeless they manage to sell great food specially their tacos!

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!

Yum! Yum! Yum! If a Mexican coworker recommends this place and takes us there, I will follow! He knows what’s good! I ordered what he ordered… 6 tacos (2 asada, 2 pastor, 2 buche) Can someone tell me what buche is?! I also had a medium horchata! The only thing bad about this place is the price…$ 9.60!!! He went over the weekend and had 2 burritos and it was cheaper! ~$ 8.50! Anyways, really good authentic Mexican food here. You can tell they use lard and stuff. The meat is flavorful. The hot sauce is spicy but also delicious. Other than the price, I’d come here again!!!
