My son brought me here for my birthday dinner. The staff members were welcoming and cheerful. We were seated quickly and the server brought out chips and salsa and the drinks we ordered. I asked for the beef steak tacos. The food was hot, flavorful, and prepared quickly. We had a great time.
Last night I has tostadas with extra Pico, and fried rice...delicious. I get a lot of veggies this way. I am not a real big meat eater, but they do have tostadas with meat. I enjoy sitting on their back patio. You don't get a lot of traffic noise like you do in most places.
I had the poblano fajitas and they were delicious. My wife also enjoyed the gorditas. This is a great locally owned small business that I highly recommend. Eat at Pericos
For us, this is our hands down "go to" restaurant in town. Always on point. Good service, good food, awesome drinks. One of the original places is town and still giving great food and service.
The food was very good very reasonably priced compared to other Mexican restaurants in today's economy. I have no complaints at all I highly recommend it. The only negative I saw was that there was no specials on margaritas and the lunch specials were not much less money than dinner but overall the price is still are not bad.
First time here, we were seated quickly. Someone brought chips and salsa out and took our drink orders. I got the Italian Rita and man that was good. They kept our drinks filled which is always a plus. Friendly staff, they really did go above and beyond for us. I ordered the Carne Guisada and my wife got the Diablo Chicken. My wife's dish tasted pretty good, I didn't think it was too spicy. My Guisada was perfect, tender meat great flavor. I look forward to going back and recommend if you've never been, you may want to try it out.
Every single time I come in here (about 1 times a month, think about that) I get excellent service! You can tell there is more than one cook, BUT the food is always good. Never any issues with the food. The Pastor tacos are one of the best plates as far as tacos go! The question is amazing and the salsa is unique AND freaking delicious! Now... the real reason for the review. The drinks here are the best in willis! Margaritas all the ways, ranch water, and some specialties make this place unique and a go to these days. I got food, drinks and desert on a Friday in less than 45 min! Give them a try if you haven't! Been here for years!
