Conveniently located within the underground hall so there's other food options, bar with drinks, games and a great vibe!We came on a Saturday at 6 and just beat the rush. The street parking is free starting at 6 on Saturday's. However, they offer happy hour certain weekdays until six - pick your preference! The hall started to get busier as we left hy 7. We both ordered the quesibirria trio tacos and they were sooooo good. The meat is so tender and it has the perfect level of spice!! I loved it. We ordered extra to go because we liked them so much!

Idk what happened to management or the cooks but this used to be my favorite place and I went today they served both of my plates cold. They had a good attitude but still it gave LAZY! Overpriced for cold food??! CRAZYYY!

Located downtown in the underground food hall, I stumbled across the spot around 11PM on A Friday night. There wasn't really a line so I placed my order pretty quickly and the food actually came out very fast (like maybe 5 min or less). It came out hot and fresh too so that made me happy. Overall I thought It just tasted okay. It wasn't bad but it wasn't the best queso birria that I've tried. It was loaded with meat and cheese which was good but the meat could've been seasoned a little more to me and there was like an after taste for me after I dipped it in the birria. So overall, I would give the birria a 3.5 on taste but my overall experience was a solid 4.

I liked that I could order online for pickup right around the corner from the hotel I stayed at . They're very strict on producing an email confirming you ordered food, and it says so on the website so that's fine . The guy at the checkout had an attitude , took him a while to even acknowledge me. I enjoyed the birria ramen, however I didn't know I was paying $12 just for meat because that's all it was , @ $2 tapatio ramen and birria meet but it was really good, pico and guacamole was amazing too. What I didn't like was the birria bowl. Comes with refried beans , birria meet , rice , limes , salsa etc . The bowl was horrible . Dry rice, hard beans and the meat was okay , that was a waste of money for sure . I'd order the tacos and other things next time because I could tell this place has great potential.

This place was dynamite! We accidentally stumbled upon them while looking for a different venue in the same area. What a happy accident!The tacos were absolutely delicious and fresh. It was my first time getting birria tacos and I do believe I'm hooked! Their churros were amazing as well. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Amazingly they stayed hot throughout our entire meal. I will definitely be back to explore the menu.

I was craving birria tacos and tried a new place because my chef was booked tonight. I ordered and drove 30 mins downtown. I got there and it's no parking and unhoused ppl on every corner. I called to see if someone could meet me. The man said no, they don't do that, it's busy down there, bye. He did call back and tell me to pull up with my flashers and grab it but once I got back around, someone was pulling out! I went in and they weren't busy but I can understand how "door delivery' isn't an accommodation they make. One guy was cleaning, the other was talking to him. The tacos were soggy and not at all crispy like Im used to. As you can see in the pics parts of the taco were actually dry, my attempted to make them crisper failed

My brother and I went looking for great Mexican food, so walked from the Toyota Center (interesting walk...the downtown scooter craze seems to have hit Houston hard...definitely had to watch out more for scooters than cars, since the sidewalk seems to be an acceptable byway).Los Primos is located inside of an underground food hall, and the Astros game was playing. If I cared about either team, I would have enjoyed watching the game in that atmosphere. We ordered our food from Los Primos, and waited a few minutes for it. We ordered the Quesitaco Trio (not the taco trio which is what it looked like) with consume, Birria torta, and corn in a cup (elotes). All were ok to good.The best thing was the stewed meat. While I'm writing this review, I was trying to figure out what sort of meat it was. I know traditionally, it should be goat, but beef is used instead quite a bit...and the meat tasted liked beef. I can't seem to find in the other yelp reviews, what sort of meat it is...but in any case, it was delicious, and was great to dunk in the consume. The taco itself was OK, and a bit expensive. The torta was good, mainly because of the birria, and the amount was probably a little more than two tacos, so probably better just to order more tacos. The bolla bread was what you get 3 for a dollar at a mexican grocery: nothing special. The elote was very creamy and flavorful, but also very rich...since we were going to walk a lot, had to stop eating it, just in case.My one suggestion is to perhaps make the quesataco tortilla more crunchy/crispy by deep frying it in the consume fat more longer. The shell was more consistent with as if we had just ordered the birria tacos (which I know we didn't since ours had melted jack cheese). We've had great quesitacos in LA, and while the meat here could compete, the assembly and presentation (and price) could not.All the dining area is shared between the restaurants, since it's a food hall. As a side note, a nice hostess from a different restaurant came around to offer two free draft Crawford Bock from Karbach (maybe for OktoberFest) while we were eating our tacos. It's a good beer, something to try again later.

My husband was so excited to eat the tapatío ramen...let me say he is not one to like soups (including ramen). BUT HE LOVED THE TAPATÍO BIRRIA RAMEN!!! He ate it up and left nothing in the container! I ordered the mix of tacos and quesabirria and OH MY GOOOOODDDDD it was so good. I had a long day at work and this just hit the spot! The food didn't take too long but it wasn't fast either, I felt comfortable with the amount of time our food took to get to us. As for the vibe of the underground hall, it's very much like a bar scene...the music is really loud and it can get rowdy in there.

Entrance is camouflaged among windows and doors to street level places. Find the door with 1010 above and that will take you to the bustling basement where 4 eateries share a common albeit cramped dining area, including Primo's. I got the birria trio tacos ($12) and they give you a small "pager" to carry. The entree was ready in less than 10 min (Sun evening) and came with a little cup of tasty au jus to dip each taco in. While meat portions were "decent" the tacos are barely 3 inches so, overall, it left me yearning for more. There's a dessert cart upstairs, right inside the front door before heading downstairs. Alas, I was successfully able to resist the carb rush that late (8pm). The two youths were not engaging at all but manned this establishment by themselves. Tables and floors are all sticky. Cooling is by giant horizontal floor fan.Tip: walk up Main (not Fannin where you'll pass dozens of displaced individuals, too many of them sadly high/tripping/yelling).
