I came here since I was in the area and was craving Mexican food. I saw that they had mole on the menu which I have been wanting to try. Their menu has a large selection. Seating area is large and darkly lit. The guy who took my order was attentive and quickly gave me a free chip and salsa with my water. The mole is a good portion and seasoned nicely. The red rice and refried beans were seasoned nicely. The chicken was moist and the mole had a good flavor balance of sweet, salty, and slightly spicy. The staff is nice and the place is clean.

I have been to so many Mexican restaurants in my life I didn't know what to order so I asked the waitress to surprise me she brought something called moteca I don't know how to spell it but it was huge and awesome and worth every penny

The Chile Relleno was outstanding! My brother had the Pozole, and he said it's top notch! We will come back!

This is my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant. I have three favorite dishes. That’ll Perico Burrito, the steak Picado, And the beef soup. The chips and salsa are absolutely amazing. You cannot go wrong with any margarita here. The service is perfect along with the atmosphere. This is my go to restaurant.

Would like to thank El Perico, our waitress Kaela and the whole of the service and kitchen staff for hosting our impromptu post funeral Mass lunch yesterday. What was originally supposed to be a one table/one family affair turned up being a back room 25-30 people lunch. Through out it all, the wait staff were professional, calm & engaging. The food was hot, the drinks refilled and the mood was warm. Thank you El Perico. I will make sure to have one meal at your fine establishment whenever I visit my hometown.

This place is awesome Generous portions one plate can easily feed 2 people. The Carnitas is the best I have ever had. Posole and Menudo are also very good. Highly recommend El Perico Ranchero. Prices are fair considering the amount of food per plate.

My friends and I dined at El Perico Ranchero in Upland last night. I ordered the Steak Ranchero. It was very flavorful. I was surprised by how much food that I had on my plate for such a reasonable price. I was quite full when I was done. I've had this dish at the Rancho Cucamonga location multiple times. It's a little different there. One probably isn't necessarily better than the other... they're just... a little different. The rice and beans were good too. Other dishes ordered included a chili relleno / taco combo plate and a couple of orders of what I believe is called Milanesa (it looked like chicken fried steak). Everyone else seemed to enjoy what they had as well. The chips were awesome. The corn torillas were great too. My one "complaint" was that the salsa was a bit on the bland side. Perhaps it was an off night, but I like the salsa at the Rancho Cucamonga location better. It's more "tomato-y" there. The service was fantastic. Everyone was friendly and very attentive, especially our server. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I would not hesitate to go back.

No frills, amazing homey vibes, authentic delicious Mexican food. When that food is so fresh, piping hot, flavorful, juicy, tender, and delicious…you can’t beat that feeling of joy and comfort. Hits the spot everytime! This little hole-in-the-wall is one of the best out there! I love their Steak Picado, Carnitas, Spicy Margarita, and Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo. Their margaritas are a good size and taste just right. This place will soothe your craving and soul…feels like Mexiacn Soul food.

I’ve lived in Upland most of my entire life and just ran into this Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is very authentically decorated as a Mexican restaurant. The menu is like many other nice Mexican restaurants. I went with the chili verde burrito. It comes wet with melted cheese on top and a side of guacamole and sour cream. You can order this burrito as a meal, including the typical rice and beans. I went with just the entrée. Very good; not the very best I’ve ever had. Maybe a little light on the quality of chunks of pork, but the flavor was there. It was $16 and the portion was well worth the price. It was a huge burrito. This is a place I will come back to when I want to take a group of people out to a Mexican restaurant in my area. The waitress was very friendly, and the background music was pleasant to listen to while taking these photos with my iPhone 13, the only camera I had with me today.

The staff were very friendly + super kind. The food was amazing. I will definitely come back. This place was recommended by a couple of the tattoo artists from across the street at Breakthrough Tattoo.

Great food. My fried taco was HUGE. I got the combination plate. Chile Relleno, Cheese enchilada, and the "Huge Taco". It also came with rice & beans, all fantastic. And this place has a full bar.

The food was good, and the price was not bad. Service was a little questionable. We waited more than 15 min to order. Then, getting refills on chips, salsa, and drinks was also a waiting game. Otherwise, nice place. They definitely need to definitely expand their restrooms, they seem very small for a place of this size and capacity.

Not real Mexican food, a bit washed down, most plates come with "yellow cheese", FYI, real Mexican food is not served with American cheese... The food was okay, the service was outstanding and the place was very busy... I probably won't be coming back, I should try other Mexican restaurants, hopefully those are more authentic... Thank you for reading my review.

One of our favorite places to get some good Mexican food and drink. The Cadillac is where its at and I could drink theirs every single day. Also the table side guacamole is a cool touch and super delicious. Overall the food is good - above average, but the Cadillac keeps us coming back.

My wife was craving menudo, so we decided to try El Perico Ranchero for our first time. Menudo was good and my wife's craving was satisfied. I ordered nopales, rice, and beans. The nopales were a little too salty. Rice and beans were good and I was served good portion. Service was good but was a little too dim in the dining area for me.

I was there this morning the service was not great, very mediocre the coffee wasn’t hot, we got a sopa de tortillas it was okay, I got the chilaquiles plate with the carne the meat was over cooked couldn’t eating the chilaquiles were okay not good and my eggs I asked for them cooked well and the were cooked over easy the best thing on my plate were the rice and beans. Maybe I went on a bad day.

Idk if they even care about food restrictions or they just don’t like black women? I asked for several burritos with no onions, for food restrictions and kid preference. Out of the seven I ordered only 1 came as requested. The best part was finding a piece of paper in my burrito. If I wasn’t dying of hunger I wouldn’t have ate this and asked for my money back. Food was also mid. 10/10 don’t recommend

I don’t really like to eat at Mexican food restaurants very rarely do I eat out but my husband loves Mexican soups “CALDOS” de res de pollo vegetables etc. Well, today I went to this place the first time I purchase any food from this place and well it was a nasty dissatisfaction Whatever they gave me they cooked two days ago probably froze it put it in the microwave and sold it to me $17 for soup for nasty rubbery vegetables. You can smell the rice how old it is. It was dangerous to even allow him to eat any. The meat has a gray greenish color
