" El Primo has definitely earned my repeat business. I love the way they serve their salsa on the side—makes for a customizable experience. This time, I tried the tamales, and they did not disappoint! They were flavorful and paired well with their spicy salsa. The staff's attention to detail doesn't go unnoticed either; it's always appreciated! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for authentic Mexican food. I tried their shrimp tacos and was impressed with the quality—fresh shrimp and nice seasoning. The atmosphere in the restaurant is casual, and the service was friendly. I would definitely return to try other items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my last visit to El Primo. The tacos were served lukewarm, and the flavor just wasn’t there. I appreciate that they offer a salsa bar, but even the salsa was lacking the punch I was expecting. The servers were friendly, but it felt like they were too distracted to pay attention to the food quality. I might give it another try, but for now, I’m on the fence. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! El Primo has truly managed to capture the essence of home-cooked Mexican food. I had the birria tacos, and they were incredibly flavorful, filling, and came with a side of delicious consome. The service was swift and friendly. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and prepared with love. I can’t wait to recommend this place to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Primo with my family, and we were all impressed! The children's meals were a good size and came out quickly. The adults enjoyed the fajitas, which were sizzling and came with plenty of fresh vegetables. The service was attentive, keeping our drinks filled, which is a plus for a family dining experience. For a casual lunch or dinner, it’s definitely a recommendation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went here last week for the first time. The atmosphere was nice, but I found their nachos lacking. They were a bit soggy and didn’t have enough toppings for my liking. Service was decent, but I left feeling unsatisfied overall. Maybe I’ll give them another chance for a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic experience at El Primo! The carnitas nachos were loaded and perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly from the moment I walked in, and I felt welcomed. The place has a vibrant atmosphere that matches its delicious food. I will definitely return to try their other offerings, especially the tortas that looked amazing on other tables!
