" Wow, where do I start? This place is practically a treasure. The tacos, especially the birria, are absolutely delightful, packed full of flavors that remind me of authentic street tacos from Mexico. The convenience store setup adds to the charm—it's like finding a secret dining spot. Staff was quick and friendly, which enhanced my visit. I will probably become a regular here! " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried Tacos el Primo after several recommendations from family. The authenticity of the food blew us away. Everything is prepared fresh and feels straight from a food truck in Mexico. The staff was warm and welcoming, making our experience even better. It's a casual spot, so don't expect fine dining ambiance, but the flavors are what truly matter here. I can't wait for my next visit to relive this delicious experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been looking for the real deal in Mexican food and Tacos el Primo delivers! Their birria and carne asada tacos are incredible and worth every penny. The space is limited but has a nice vibe that feels welcoming. The team there is wonderful, and you can see that they put a lot of care into their food. I’ll definitely be making this a weekly stop! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a lifelong fan of Mexican cuisine and finding Tacos el Primo has been a delightful surprise. The authenticity can be tasted in every taco I ordered, especially the birria. The options might be limited due to the small space, but what they do, they do exceptionally well! Keep in mind it can get busy, but the speed of service more than makes up for it. Definitely returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a craving for tacos and they did not disappoint! Tried their spicy shrimp tacos and they were perfectly seasoned. The portions were generous for the price, which is fantastic for a place in this area. The convenience-store environment is unconventional but has its own charm; vibrancy from the music makes the wait worthwhile. I can't recommend this place enough for those looking for authentic tastes! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the kind of place that you want to keep to yourself because it’s so good, but I can’t help but rave about it! The tacos here are genuinely great. The portions are more than generous, especially for the price. The vibe is casual and friendly—a great place to grab a bite. Although it can be busy during lunch hours, it’s absolutely worth the wait for the amazing food inside that convenience store! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great little spot! The birria tacos are some of the best I’ve ever had, and I just can’t get enough of them. The flavor is explosive and authentic. I appreciate the care they take with each order. However, it would be nice if they could expand a bit, the small seating capacity can be tough during busy hours. I’ll continue coming back over and over again for those tacos! " (*Curated Review*)
