" I was really looking forward to the birria but was underwhelmed. The meat didn't have that punch of flavor I wanted, and the service felt inattentive at times. The ambiance was fine, but I wouldn't rush back unless I heard significant improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great birria but be prepared for cash-only. The tacos blew my expectations out of the water, and the consomé is heavenly. I loved the traditional vibe of the place and the authentic flavors reminded me of home cooking. Will definitely visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was eager to try El Primo after hearing rave reviews. The birria itself was tasty, though not as authentic as I've had elsewhere, and the phenomenal consomé saved it for me. The staff were friendly but seemed overwhelmed despite it being a slow afternoon. I definitely appreciated the clean environment and quick turnaround on the food. Pricing was reasonable! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Primo has one of the best birrias I've tried stateside! The flavor was just like the ones I had in Mexico, it brought back so many memories of home. I particularly enjoyed their salsa and freshness of the tortillas. It’s a bit on the pricier side but worth every penny. Just know that you'll need cash or use their ATM! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Primo Birrieria is worth every star! Their birria is just right—not too greasy and intensely flavorful. The service was impeccable as well. They made solid recommendations and were attentive throughout our meal. If you’re in the area, don't miss out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious birria and salsas! However, I had an issue with the cash-only policy. It definitely impacted my experience. The tacos were beautiful and initially hit the spot. Just be aware of the payment method before getting too excited! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Primo is good for a casual outing. The food had a fresh taste but was missing a bit of spice that I usually love with my birria. The staff were nice though a bit overwhelmed by the crowd. It's a solid choice if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
