Reviews for Pericos Mexican Cafe in Houston, TX
Really good authentic Mexican food. A lot better than all the Tex-Mex restaurant franchises around town. You know it's really... good automatic Mexican food because the customers are mostly Spanish when we were there and they know what is good. Nodisrespect intended but just making a point. Read more

I like this Mexican Cafe on the westbound Northwest Freeway service road at Mangum. The dining room is festively decorated in... cantina style. The servers are friendly and prompt. I ordered the taco plate. It was good and reasonably priced. Read more
Fantastic food and service. I recently discovered Pericos by recommendation from a friend. I ate here the first time Sunday,... June 3, 2018 (?????,3 ???? 2018 ?.). Since then I have been back for breakfast and dinner. You are greeted by smiling friendlyfaces, promptly seated, served fresh chips & salsa (authentic not TexMex), provided a menu with a great selection of authenticSpanish food (again NOT TexMex but they do have a TexMex selection if you prefer), and served a hot plate of fresh food. Theowner/manager is very active and involved in his business. He makes rounds and checks on guest. He greeted me with a handshakeand has talked to me every time I have been this week. The employees are also very attentive to detail and service. Theyconstantly clean which is very nice to see as well (Nice clean establishment). The pictures I have provided are of my lunchplate and a picture of the restaurant during lunchtime. Family friendly and fun atmosphere with music, televisions, nice decorthat is pleasant. They also have a small bar. I don't drink because of health problems but it looks cozy. The restaurant isnonsmoking which is great as well. I am allergic to smoke, it flares my asthma so it's nice to be able to enjoy a meal withoutthe smell of smoke. I am very particular and critical when it comes to food establishments. It does not take much for me toleave. A dirty glass or table is enough. This is one of the few places I can actually give a five star rating and recommend tocolleagues, friends, and family. I suggest that everyone should stop in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. My experiences havebeen extremely positive. Read more
The servers were great in providing chips and salsa to our group. Always refilling our drinks. They do need help in... understanding what is in the foods as far as allergies go. Manager also needs to have a refresher of what vegetarian means. Weasked about several of their dishes and when we got it, it seems they are cooked in animal products of some kind. The fooditself is why I'm not leaving a good rating. I got the fish and my wife got shrimp tacos. The fish itself was super thin, andthe breading thick, so it was dry and unflavorful. The fries and salad we're fine, but shouldn't have been the highlight of thedish. The shrimp tacos were so dry and bland. We both couldn't finish our meals because they just weren't worth thecalories. Immediately after eating I had stomach pains and spent a portion of the evening in the bathroom. It was either foodthat was cooked with land animal products or just the dish itself. Either way, I won't be coming back. Read more
