Welcome to Our Familia

Our Aptos taqueria at Rancho Del Mar serves the same family Mexican recipes as our Santa Cruz kitchen — tacos, burritos, fajitas, and the Pericos Taco — for Rio Del Mar, Seacliff, and the Aptos Village community. Every plate is made with love, attention to detail, and family traditions.

Every recipe at Taqueria Los Pericos is made with love, attention to detail, and family traditions passed from one generation to the next. In our cocina we still cook the way our family taught us — small batches, honest ingredients, and the patience a great taco deserves. From our table to yours, every bite is a celebration of home.

Savor Our Pericos Taco

The Pericos Taco is our signature bite: tender meat, melted cheese, creamy avocado, cilantro, and sweet onion on a warm tortilla. It is made with love, attention to detail, and the family traditions we grew up with — a little celebration in every fold.
