Taqueria Los Pericos - Dublin

Ed’s Rating: Go Back Again
After a small detour, we made it to Taqueria Los Pericos.  Our navigator lost the trail and we went to Taqueria Azteca by accident.  With Google’s help, we got back on the trail and found our taqueria. It’s a classic taqueria with Beer piñatas for decoration.  We ordered our food and received the classic style number card for our food delivery.  As usual, we picked up chips and salsa while waiting for our burritos.  The chips were fresh, but broken into small pieces. We tried two different salsas and both were good and with a little

spiciness. I especially liked the red salsa with fresh tomatoes and onions.   We got our food as usual, and tried to unwrap the aluminum foil wrap. The burritos were well wrapped and warm, so the foil didn’t come off easily. It was well worth the drive to Dublin because my Chili Verde Burrito was very good. Along with the standard meat, rice, and beans it contain fresh Pico De Gallo. Every bite of the burrito was good.  Unfortunately for me, the contents were more than what the tortilla could hold, so I ended up using a knife and fork to finish.  The only complaint I have was the napkins are too small. These are messy burritos, so big napkins are a must.

Dean’s Rating: Go Back Again

After getting blamed (wrongly) for going to the wrong place Ed managed to get it together long enough to find Taqueria Los Pericos. Located in yet another run down strip mall anchored by Jack in the Box we sought out the meaty creations wrapped in foil. Three different salsas and of two I tried the chipotle was good and the tomato salsa was great.  The Super Burrito Carne Asada Extra Spicy I ordered was enormous! So big that is had drawbacks.
1. I couldn’t finish it so I will never know what lie at the bottom of that tubular tortilla. (As any good burrito eater knows that is the best part where the yummy juices wait for you)
2. It was stratified usually with only 2 or 3 ingredients per bite due to the layering when this monster was assembled.
3. It made Ed’s regular burrito look humiliated to the point where it just gave up and collapsed.
The flavors were good and it had a little kick but not the extra spicy I was looking for. It is a good place to go after the game.
If anyone wants to replace Miquel as Burrito Hunter please leave a comment. I think he is just looking for cheese to go with his whine!!!!
