Perro Exquisite Taco — Restaurant in Cerritos

Where my perros at? Where they at? Woof Woof

From humble beginnings, Perro Exquisite Taco serves up Sonoran-style tacos in Cerritos. Hecho a mano (handmade) tortillas are what distinguish Perro Exquisite Taco from other taquerias.

Perro taco- Prime flap meat, Peruvian beans, purple onions, cilantro, mozzarella, lime, radish, jalapeno, salsa & guacamole. It's all about the handmade tortilla. Dense, chewy & heavy enough to hold all the accoutrement within it. The flavor of the prime flap meat gets kinda lost, especially by the heaping amount of beans. Hearty, filling, stick to your ribs, the Perro taco is a meal unto itself

Cheese quesadilla- Perro Exquisite Taco's cheese quesadilla is different than your average cheese quesadilla. Here, the cheese it burnt to a crisp, providing a fatty crunch upon each bite. No cheese pull to be had. I enjoyed it, but believe I would've preferred melted cheese, as opposed to crispy.

Service was excellent. The gentlemen working were friendly & hospitable. A good amount of seating inside, there is outdoor seating at the Cerritos Towne Centre. Perro Exquisite Taco is located behind IHOP & on the right of the sushi restaurant. Breakfast & vegetarian options, available.

While I find myself debating whether 1 Perro taco or multiple street tacos are the better deal, I no doubt enjoyed dining on a Perro taco for the first time. I left stuffed, and my tummy satisfied. Their simplistic menu streamlines the process of good Mexican food to the masses. I look forward to...

Oh my gosh… this is by far some of the most flavorful and authentic Mexican food I've had in Cerritos. Every dish tastes like it’s made with care and love, just like homemade. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the carne asada is packed with so much flavor—every bite is delicious! The guacamole is another standout; it’s incredibly tasty and adds the perfect touch to the meal.

What I really appreciate is that their beans are served “a la olla” rather than being refried, giving them a richer and more authentic taste. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring you leave full and satisfied. As for the horchata, it’s perfectly balanced—finally, a horchata that’s not overly sweet! It actually tastes like homemade, refreshing, and just the right amount of flavor.

I had the perro combo, and it was absolutely amazing. If you're looking for flavorful Mexican food with a homemade touch, this place...

Bro… I love finding new places to eat. And it’s been hard these days, as it’s always just the same kinds of food that many places serve. Just cloned and rebranded. But not Perro. The menu is simple. The prices are amazing value. You get a full meal for $9 (not including tax). This isn’t a standard “taco” you’re thinking of. One taco is a whole meal. It’s about the size of a large burrito.

The meat is stellar. I love the Peruvian beans, and the guac is 👌.

They also have vegetarian and Keto options which is cool.

I’ve been here twice now and I look forward to going many more times. The owners and staff are very nice too.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for something new or just want to eat good grub for an affordable price! The food also is NOT greasy or anything like that. You won’t feel guilty. The same as how you feel good about eating a chipotle...
