" I have to admit, my visit to El Primo was quite underwhelming. While the ambiance looked promising, I found the food to be rather lackluster. I ordered the calamari and it was chewy, not the fresh flavor I expected. Service was average but nothing to write home about. Thankfully, my friends enjoyed their meals, so I might give it another chance in hopes of better options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply one of the best places I've found for authentic Dominican food! The flavors are bold and fresh, especially the fried chicken served with perfectly cooked rice and beans. The staff was friendly and attentive, making it a pleasant dining experience overall. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming, the perfect balance for a Saturday lunch. I will definitely be back to try more dishes, especially after hearing great things about their breakfast menu. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent but not great. I found El Primo to be hit-or-miss. While the food was good, it lacked that wow factor. I ordered the steak tacos, which were fine, but I've had better elsewhere. The staff was very friendly, but the service was a bit slow and inattentive. The decor was pleasant, creating a welcoming atmosphere, but I don't see myself making a special trip back anytime soon. A solid choice if you're in the area, but not worth driving across town for. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Primo has become one of my favorite spots. I love the authentic flavors in their dishes. The camarones al ajillo (garlic shrimp) is a must-try and very delicious. I found the staff to be very welcoming, which added to the relaxing vibe of the place. The portions were generous, and the prices are reasonable for the quality offered. I recently took my parents there and they were thoroughly impressed as well. Looking forward to returning again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! I stumbled into El Primo while looking for quick Latin food and left utterly satisfied. The portions are huge, and the prices reflect the generous servings. I tried their nachos and was shocked by the amount of chicken and beef piled atop them. The salsa was freshly made and the ingredients tasted authentic. I loved the vibrant decor and the live music added a special touch to the dining experience. Will definitely recommend this spot to friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to El Primo and I'm already looking forward to coming back! The menu was extensive and packed with enticing options. I opted for the shrimp tacos and they were delicious and satisfying. The staff were friendly and attentive though slightly overwhelmed by the lunch rush. The overall vibe of the restaurant was bustling yet comfortable. Portions were ample, so definitely worth the price. Can't wait to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to El Primo a couple of times now and each visit has been better than the last. The goat stew stands out as one of their signature dishes that you cannot miss. Service is always friendly, making the experience feel personal. The vibrant decorations and Latin music that fills the air provide a festive feel. Portions are generous too, which adds value to the meal. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Dominican food! " (*Curated Review*)
