" Tacos el Primo is a fantastic spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors. I ordered a variety of tacos, and they did not disappoint. Each taco was beautifully crafted and full of fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was lively, and even though it’s in a convenience store, I felt right at home with the Mexican music and the aroma wafting from the kitchen. The service was prompt, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to serve. This place undoubtedly deserves more attention. I will be returning very soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon this place while driving around and I'm so glad I did! The food is top-notch and gives me a taste of what I used to have back in California. The California burrito was massive and delicious—definitely a meal for two! The service was quick and professional, making my visit even better. Atmosphere-wise, it’s your typical corner store setup, but the food will compensate for it. Can’t recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" This small but mighty taco spot is hands down the best decision I’ve made when looking for good Mexican food in Tampa. The tacos I ordered were bursting with flavors. I particularly loved their guacamole, which tasted fresh and had the perfect seasoning. Although the convenience store setting may turn some people off, don’t judge a book by its cover. This place has the goods! I will definitely be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I finally decided to check out Tacos el Primo. It’s a bit of a hidden treasure located in a gas station, which was surprising. The tacos were super authentic and tasted freshly made. I particularly enjoyed their shrimp tacos, which were flavorful and substantial. However, be prepared to wait during peak hours as it gets busy. The staff was friendly, adding to the experience. I think a few more tables could help with the seating, but overall, I had a fantastic time here. Can’t wait to go back for some more! " (*Curated Review*)

" This little taco joint is everything one could hope for in a casual Mexican eatery. The birria is authentic and packed with flavor, and the tacos were generously filled. I would have liked a little more ambiance, as it's mostly a takeaway spot inside a convenience store, but I'll gladly sacrifice that for the food. Staff was friendly, and service was quick, which is a plus in my book. Definitely a place to check out for anyone needing a taco fix! " (*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*)
