Delicious, authentic Mexican food in an off the beaten path location. Friendly staff, great salsas.

Worst burrito ever. I ordered a vegan/vegano burrito. Basically same price, less fillings. NO rice!!! beans not even bothered to be strained so filled with water/juice, some wilted lettuce and unsure if any guacamole. Horrible, messy burrito. I could make better at home. This stop was such a waste of time.

Finally tried this shop and enjoyed it. Difficult to find more SD style places up here which is the objectively better style for taco shops (I've also noticed that the more popular establishments up here are closer to that style too). Located near corralitos meat market. Inside is unassuming. The menu is extensive and they still have a salsa bar which is great. They have like 5 salsas and carrots too which is great. The avocado salsa and habanero/orange salsas are the best ones. Pico is also fresh. Carrots are great. Other two salsas are just alright. Anyway menu is pretty extensive like I said but I opted for a pericos super burrito because it looked most SD style. I got it with no beans but left the cheese in. I'd say other than the cheese it was pretty legit. Nice tortilla, asada was grilled nicely too. Nice amount of guac inside as well. Also prices are great. Only con is getting the burritos wrapped in foil. Why NorCal burritos are wrapped in foil and not paper I'll never understand. Stop steaming burritos! Ban foil wrapped burritos!!

Food is excellent the service not so good the lady at the front counter had an attitude the atmosphere just doesn't exist but if the food is what you're searching for definitely stop by and I would suggest you order ahead that way you can just come in and get out the other thing is the roads to this location are horrenldous make sure you take a couple spare tires you might get a flat on your way there but if you can make it through the rough roads is definitely worth the visit because the food is excellent hope it helps

So we're on a mission to try new taquerias in the area. The problem is we loved Los Pericos so much, it's going to be hard to go anywhere else! Come here for the salsa bar alone. The salsas are not only freshly made, but they're UNIQUE and totally different from other places. For example, their "traditional" green salsa is anything but traditional. The tomatillo-avocado salsa is super peppery. It's surprising in the most delightful way. And the chips are served WARM! I got the al pastor burrito and it was huge. I ate it for 3 meals. I would say that it was practically perfect, it just needed more sour cream and guacamole. Service was super friendly. They have outdoor seating, but we took it to-go. We will 1000% be back!

The garlic shrimp were amazing with a bunch of pieces of garlic. The salsas had great flavor and the chips were crispy and warm.

The Super Burrito was very good. I ordered Carne Asada. The meat was lean and flavorful. I would get the same order again.

The very best Mexican food in all of Santa Cruz county!!
What happened to this place??!! I was so stoked to finally have a great Mexican place close to Aptos.We loved it. But it has slowly been getting more and more mediocre. Today my burrito is not good. Between meh and barely edible.Not going back anymore. Super bummed.Just discovered La Marea of the Sea and it's fantastic!!
