About Tacos Don Perez

Tacos Don Perez offers authentic Mexican cuisine in a small but clean and vibrant setting. The Pozole and Birria Tacos are standout dishes, with the cheese quesadilla also recommended. The restaurant serves reliably quality tacos, tortas, tostadas, and aguas frescas. Online ordering can be hit or miss, and some items, like the birria nachos, must be ordered in-store, though takeout is available. The location is great for people-watching, with good service and natural juices. While portions are generous, the food is absolutely amazing and full of flavor, especially the tacos al pastor, which are noted to be better at this Kensington location. The staff is friendly, making it a place worth returning to. Parking can be challenging, but they offer high chairs and a basic children's menu for families.

The restaurant has a wide variety of foods, not just tacos, including customizable tostadas and a somewhat wide selection of drinks. The mural-style painting inside is bright and festive, featuring a large floral motif and a flowering saguaro cactus neon sign. The atmosphere is fun and lively, with music that makes customers want to dance in their seats. The cashier is very nice and accommodating, especially with custom orders like the vegetarian pambazo, which is delicious and filling. The birria tacos are yummy, though a little greasy, and the quesadilla is delightful but oily. The corn with spicy Cheetos and Oreo mousse are also tasty. Friends recommend the other tacos and tortas. The place is cozy, clean, and vibrant, with a fun vibe, yummy food, and fast service. It’s a great spot in Kensington, changing the neighborhood’s feel with its bright, happy decor and amazing food.
