" My experience at El Primo was marred by long wait times. However, once I received my food, I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors. The enchiladas were cheesy and packed with rich sauces. Their salsa is fresh and tangy. The service, while slow, was very courteous. I'd give them another chance since I loved the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for El Primo after hearing so much about it. While the food was good, I felt that some dishes weren't as flavorful as I hoped, especially the carne asada. It tasted a bit bland. However, the staff was very friendly and helpful. I might give it another try, but it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to El Primo for a special occasion, and we were not disappointed. The kids loved their burritos, and my wife and I shared some authentic chile relleno, which was perfectly cooked. Although we had to wait a bit for our food, the staff was apologetic and the complimentary chips with salsa were enough to hold us over. Great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to El Primo to celebrate a birthday, and it was an excellent choice! The staff was incredibly accommodating, even helping us pick a great dessert to finish off our meal. The carne asada was tender and perfectly seasoned. We left with full stomachs and happy hearts. Will definitely plan our family gatherings here in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! I stumbled upon El Primo while exploring McMinnville, and I am so glad I did. The atmosphere is charming and welcoming. I ordered the tamales and they were exceptional—homemade and bursting with flavor. My husband loved the sizzling fajitas. We were so pleased with our meals that we decided to indulge in dessert, which was complimentary! Definitely coming back for more family dinners! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Primo has a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels like home. I can’t get enough of their fabulous guacamole—it’s always fresh! The meals are portioned generously, so you definitely get your money's worth. The only complaint I have is about the slight inconsistency in service. Some days it's fantastic; other days, it’s just okay, but the food remains a highlight for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Walking into El Primo feels like a warm hug. The decor is bright and cheerful, making it the perfect spot for casual dining. The tacos I had were delicious, with generous portions of protein. The only downside was the slightly unfriendly waiter. Nevertheless, it was a delightful experience overall, and I would return. " (*Curated Review*)
