" Disappointed during my last visit. The ambiance felt unwelcoming and the staff seemed preoccupied. The food had potential, but I didn’t feel it was very authentic. Maybe if they clean up the place and improve service, it wouldn't be so off-putting. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is average in taste compared to other Mexican restaurants I’ve visited. The portions are fine, but I expected a bit more life and excitement in the flavors. Service was standard, nothing too special. Might give it another try, but it's not at the top of my list. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Primo Loco quickly became my favorite Mexican spot! The pollo asado has a smoky flavor that is so delicious. I also love their green salsa; it's the perfect complement to anything on the menu. The only downside was the wait time, which was a bit longer than expected, but the food made it worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" A visit to El Primo Loco was exactly what I needed. Authentic flavors in a simple setting. Their tacos are packed full of flavor, and they don't skimp on the ingredients either. The service was efficient, and I felt quite satisfied with my meal overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited on a Sunday evening and, though the food was good, I realized the staff seemed overwhelmed. The chicken was tasty, but it was dry, and I couldn’t help but feel it was close to closing time, affecting the quality. Regardless, the flavors are spot on for authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a huge fan of El Primo Loco! Their tacos are what comfort food is all about. Each taco was packed with flavors, true to what you’d expect from a mom-and-pop Mexican joint. The service was decent enough, but it’s clear this place focuses on their food, and they do it well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, this is a mixed review. The food was decent, though I had better. Portions were fine, maybe a bit less than what I’d like. On the other hand, the service took quite a while, more than I expected. It’s a good place but needs improvement in some areas. " (*Curated Review*)
