El Perico Ranchero

It's a busy spot for a reason. Or many reasons. Friendly service, food is delicious. I had the breakfast (egg and potato wet burrito) and its all on point. Salsa N chips are great as well. I'll be back from Las Vegas soon to eat here again.

I had dinner at El Perico Ranchero in Rancho Cucamonga last night. What you see here is the tampiquena. It's carne asada with a cheese enchilada on top. It was delicious. They were pretty busy when we were there and yet the service was top notch. The servers were attentive and everyone who worked there was incredibly friendly. The chips and salsa deserve mention. The chips were fresh and the salsa was very tomato-y... just the way I like it. Their table side guacamole is excellent. I've had it twice before but no one else was interested last night. Overall, it was a great experience.

Food and service is always great here! It’s small, so if it’s busy you might be waiting for a while. It’s always a pleasure coming here for dinner. The staff are always pretty nice and helpful. The food is always great. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.

Awesome place. Food is really good and portions are large. Loved their salsa although could have used a bit more salt on the chips. I am vegetarian and it’s sometimes hard to get dishes adjusted but they had a veggie burrito that was perfect as is. They would have modified anything for me and were super friendly. Been there twice already and just wish they were closer to where I live. My go to spot in Rancho Cucamonga area. Photos did not do justice, but burritos were huge! Loved their parrot decor too

Great little place in Rancho Cucamonga. Food was great. Atmosphere was nice. Small little place it if the way that was big on flavor. Michelada was on point. Carnitas were incredible and very flavorful. Salsa was fresh and on point. Great little spot to stop and enjoy some serious flavor

Yummy, yummy, and yummy! Go and enjoy!!!! Also, the best customer service ever!!!!!!!!! From the time I walked in, I was greeted and waited upon. GENUINELY!!!!!! Which is a huge deal with me. I can tell if, I'm being judged. So, I had the shredded beef hard taco with rice and beans combo. So delicious!!! So fresh!!!! I cannot wait to go back and enjoy!!!!!!!

We absolutely love El Pericos, it’s our go to spot for Mexican food. We usually go to the one in Upland, but this one is closer to us so we decided to try it out. The best part is the food is just as good as the one we were used to. Everything is always fresh, delicious and nice and hot! This location is much smaller than the upland location, so if it’s busy it might be harder to get a seat, but the wait would be worth it! A couple of our fav things are the table side guacamole and the margaritas (especially the Cadillac)!

I love this place and come every weekend! My favorite item is their Menudo but their breakfast is always fresh and flavorful. If you have a DD try their margaritas!

We love this little spot. Tableside guac is a must have. I always get the Carnitas, they are so fresh and delicious! Service is always great here.

The food here is freaking amazing. I go here at least five times a month which means almost every week and the owners are very welcoming and super nice. They treat you very well, It feels like family. The food never disappoints, the margaritas are to die for. Jose and Arlene are the owners and they are super fantastic. Maria is great as well and we love Jose the server. They make the guacamole fresh right in front of you. Please tip everybody here because they put their blood sweat and tears in their food not literally, but you know what I mean, you can taste the love in their food . We always get shrimp and Carne Asada with the ranchero sauce . Any margarita that you get is great , so try them all. The ambiance feels very authentic to Mexican culture . The food is to die for please go here and bring everyone you know .

I had a chicken taco and a fish taco on flour tortillas. Both tacos had enough ingredients to make 2 tacos. The fish was to die for. Very favorable. The chicken seasoned to perfection. Their red sauce was very hot, spicy and delicious

Location:Good, Parking: Good, Service: Good, Food for price paid:Good, Overall: First time try and I do have to admit the food here is very good. The rice was tender, the meat was very good. Based on places I have been in the past I have to Dave I will use this restaurant as the place to beat when it comes to Mexican dishes...

Great Mexican food the carnitas were delicious!! The chili relleno were nice and fluffy the salsa could be better but still good if you are a parent you will struggle in the bathroom they don't have a changing station for smaller children other then that great place to come and enjoy

It was ok.....I had the meat taco salad with carnitas......it was good.....the shell was crispy.......the salsa was kind of bland.......service was great......very friendly waitress

I brought my family here recently. We won’t return again. I don’t like to complain or waste food, but our meals were awful. We had to ask them to bring the tortillas for two of the people in our party because they forgot. My child’s taquitos were dark brown (burnt) and greasy. They were cooked too long and obviously the oil wasn’t at the correct temp to avoid excessive grease. She ate one, but felt sick to her stomach soon after. Another family member ordered the carne asada plate. The meat had an off putting taste, you know the one you get when the meat is too old. We also ordered a chile relleno burrito without beans. Of course it was filled with beans and tasted terrible. So disappointing. This is the worst burrito I’ve ever had and I couldn’t eat it. Guess what? The toilet became my best friend when I got home.
