" I tried their breakfast burrito recently, and it was satisfying! Filled with fresh ingredients, it was a filling start to my day. The only downside was that I had to wait a bit long for my order, but it was worth it. Overall a positive experience, and I'll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My wife and I visited El Primo last weekend, and we were impressed! The ambiance was lively, and the service exceeded our expectations. Our server was attentive and made great recommendations. We shared the fajitas platter, which arrived sizzling and generously portioned. However, I wish the seasoning was a little stronger. Still, it's a great spot for weekend dinners, and we plan to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely in love with El Primo! The mojarras were fried to perfection and tasted fantastic. The place was bustling with customers, which is always a good sign. The service was fast, and the atmosphere was vibrant. I recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Mexican flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently stopped by El Primo for a quick lunch and ordered the torta cubana. Overall, it was a good meal, though a bit on the oily side. The flavors were there, but the bread was slightly soggy, which took away from the experience. The service was quick, and the staff was polite. I may give it another try and see if the quality varies on different days. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Primo has truly become one of my favorite go-to spots! Their chilaquiles are outstanding—crispy tortillas drenched in the right amount of red sauce, topped with cream and cheese. Each time, it has been filled with fresh, vibrant flavors that are reminiscent of home-cooked meals. The restaurant itself has a cozy feel, perfect for grabbing a bite after work. I highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*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!
