El Primo

Stumbled upon this place through instagram so decided to come out to try their breakfast tacos. Service was great and the food came out quickly. They have 2 tables to outside the truck to sit. Only downside was parking is a little tricky if the parking lot is full. Bean egg and cheese: 8.5/10, not the biggest fan of beans but the flavor here is amazing. Great vegetarian option Migas: 8/10, simple and delicious. The egg is an omelette with cilantro and tortilla strips cooked into it.

The El Primo crew was very nice, and I'll probably try it again if I'm in the neighborhood, but the tacos were hit or miss for me. To be completely up front, I did order them and take them home (about a 12-15 min drive), so they weren't 100% fresh when I ate them.I ordered migas, pastor and barbacoa. The migas, which I was most looking forward too, was my least favorite. The eggs seemed dry & over cooked and there wasn't much flavor, so salsa was required. I've heard things about how stuffed the migas tacos are, but it seemed about average, maybe a bit less less compared to my favorite spots.The barbacoa was good. Basic, but the onion and cilantro is really all you need. It had less flavor than some barbacoa I've had, but it was moist and I think the corn tortillas were good; thin but held up to the moisture. I think I would liked a bit more or the richness that beef fat often provides.The pastor was probably my fav, and they were pretty good. A nice savory/peppery flavor, moist, and nicely complemented by the onion and cilantro.I didn't love the salsa, though if I were to choose, I'd go Verde. It has a more fresh flavor to it, good with meat. The Roja was hot I was warned it was a little too hot for my taste.

El Primo is a small truck in a parking lot, with no designated parking, and 2 small benches to sit in. It's not much to look at, as an establishment, but the food and prices were great, so the rest will have to suffice!We ordered some breakfast tacos, a torta, and a quesadilla. The quesadilla was mid, but the tacos and torta were full of flavor. There's really nothing better than a breakfast taco. The tacos don't have any fluff (no onion, or cilantro on top) so the star for me was the torta, which was creamy and delicious. They offer a variety of protein options - be sure to try the asada and barbacoa, for sure. The service was okay. They are a cash only establishment, but the website doesn't mention that. When we arrived and found out the only option was to place an order online and pay through the app. This was a longer process, with a longer wait time, but better than not having an option at all. The website only allowed you to pick a time 30 minutes out, but the person taking orders was able to speed that up a bit. We didnt see an option for drinks on their menu, so we ended up going into the nearby coffee shop while we waited. TLDR: I'm not rushing back tomorrow, but for a flavorful, quick, inexpensive breakfast taco, there are 1,000 worse choices in austin.

Stopped by on a frigid morning to pick up a few breakfast tacos. I was the only one there and when I ordered, he told me it would be a few minutes. I got two bacon, egg and cheese, one sausage egg and cheese, and one beans and cheese taco. The gentleman quickly prepared my tacos and I was on my way. He asked if I wanted sauce and explained green was not as hot and red was hot. Boy was he right on that! Green had a decent spice to it and it was more than enough for me. I tried the bacon, egg and cheese and liked that the bacon was well cooked and the filling for the taco was generous. I took this to go, though loved the look of the food truck.

Traditional tacos. Simple and tasty. Austin staple, food truck. Run by welcoming smiles and energetic personalities. It's been a long time coming, enjoying these tacos. Ordered one chicken, pastor, and barbacoa, as well as one egg and chorizo breakfast taco. Always say yes to the onion and cilantro. Prepare for finger-licking messiness. What stands out to me most is how juicy and moist the taco meats are. I'm usually one to jump to the sauces, which are also really good, but these meats were good enough and not really needing extra flavor or moistness. Definitely worth the cash-only and limited hrs. Perfect for a Saturday morning. If the weather is not ideal, there is a coffee shop nearby with a good amount of tables, otherwise you're free to enjoy at the picnic table Primo has available for guests.

El Primo is a known staple in Austin for years. I found them through a YouTube video that appeared on my feed and knew I had to check them out.https://youtu.be/0jTHnyobAGUUpon seeing the video, I'm reminded of why taco spots like El Primo are the definition of the American Dream. Hard work + determination + passion = living a prosperous life you can be proud of. Apply that to tacos? Well of course I'm down for that!They are known for their breakfast tacos which are always available and they don't disappoint with the well-seasoned egg mixed with the protein served in that warm tortilla. The egg/chorizo and migas/ham/egg breakfast tacos were some of the best breakfast tacos i've had. Also got a lengua taco which was also succulent as the meat was super tender with that grease dripping from the taco when you're about to devour it.The staff is welcoming and full of grace as you can see with the way they take your order and serve it to you with a smile and warm thank you. This truck continues to be a staple for Austin's taco scene and it doesn't surprise me people rave about it and keep returning. I'm definitely a fan myself and this will be on my eats rotation whenever I'm in the state capital of Texas.Vamos El Primo!

This food truck is a gem! You know its good when there is always a line at lunch time, and my cousin and I came here two days in a row! Fresh, made to order tacos, burritos, tortas and quesadillas. They have breakfast tacos too. The woman who took our order was so nice and efficient. We decided to order all the tacos they offer since we were feeding a lot of family that was visiting. We ordered cheese quesadillas for the kids and they loved them too! Everything was so tasty and the Verde sauce they have is my favorite! It is Cash only here and there are a couple tables if you want to eat there. A great taco truck you should try if in the area!

Delicious, ample tacos! Friendly service too. It was well worth the wait. Check this food truck out when you're nearby.

Yum!! Had a tripe, lengua, and el pastor tacos. My daughter has the quesadilla and was very pleased.It's cash only if you are ordering there, you can also order ahead online, but it's slightly more. Would definitely go again. The tripe was crispy, the lengua has a good chew. They gave you salsa on the side. There are a few different tables to sit at for the food truck. I guess Daniel Radcliffe used to live close by and has talked about them and there is a bit of hype and a line on weekends. I went on a Monday at an off time and was happy the line wasn't too bad. The ambiance is a parking lot casual near Hu la hut. :)

This was first stop on a day of 4 taco trucks and this was our FAVORITE! We ordered a chicken quesadilla, bacon egg cheese taco, asada taco and pastor taco. All of them were full of flavor and tasted delicious!
