" I can't help but rave about Tacos El Primo! Their tacos are simply divine. I particularly loved the al pastor—juicy and bursting with flavor. The service was super fast which is a bonus when you're in a hurry. I brought my family and they were equally impressed. Just a heads up, it’s cash only, which caught us a little off-guard, but totally worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Tacos El Primo after hearing great reviews, and I wasn't disappointed. The flavors were authentic, especially the cabeza tacos. It reminded me of my childhood visits to my abuela's house where I first tasted these flavors. Service was friendly, but the seating was a bit cramped. It's a simple place, but the food makes it all worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)
