Abarrotes El Primo

We love Abarrotes El Primo. We love their prime rib tacos, breaded beef torta, and steak burrito. You call them and it is always ready in 10 to 15 minutes. We've never had anything bad there. It's great for taking out.

Authentic Mexican food, love the pork pastor tacos! The red salsa they make and sell is the best, but be careful it's spicy too! Burritos are as BIG as your head and also delicious! Nice seleciton of mexican grocery items and great hearty tortilla chips. Small seating area, we usually take to go but it's clean space if you can find a seat. Staff are very friendly and service is quick!

This place 100% lives up to the reviews on here and on Google. If you are looking for true authentic Mexican food, this place is a must visit. It is in a convenience store where you can purchase true Mexican items. They also have a deli where you can get meat too! The quality of the tacos was truly incredible. The value of the amount you get for the price you pay is also really great too. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

Solid taco but not even close to the tacos you can get across the street and they are more expensive.Just inconsistent but solid. I personally won't eat here again.

This is a family owned taqueria and grocery store on Main Street in the heart of Sun Prairie, with the kitchen open most but not all of the operating hours. The food is certainly authentic but to me was under seasoned and without options for upping the flavor through add ons. I am not a fan of the onion and cilantro topping. If there were tomato and less onion maybe I would enjoy that more. All in all, I would try this again if wanting Mexican food while in Sun Prairie but would try something other than tacos.

What I will begin to say about El Primo is they are a hard working family owned hole in the wall that Sun Prairie should be grateful they operate there. I see plenty of cops, firemen, and paramedics going here for their lunches. Quesadillas - I have no idea what cheese they put in them, but you get that, guac, and amazing meat. I always go asada but the quesadilla size is absolutely fair for the price and pairs amazing with both their salsa verde and Rojo. The cooks are always working hard and for the bulk they get, the portions are always over stuffed. Now let's talk about those burritos, ... if you have never had Al Pastor, get Al Pastor. It seasons the already seasoned rice and soaks into the burrito perfectly with out the damn sogginess. They wrap it better than chipotle and that damn thing is so stuffed you honestly say "I only paid this much?!" Pair it with the Salsa rojo with each bite and you'll be hooked. They do come with sour cream, "crema", I always say no crema. It ruins the flavor profile of the Al Pastor. Alright, now the thing you were wanting to know, tacos. Authentic. Cantina. Flat top grilled meat and tortillas (yes they heat them on the flat top as the meat and oil. Tortillas are typical maize but I am a harina Chico myself (that's flour boy for you plebeians, just kidding but it's good to note that if you prefer it tell them "Puedo tener tortillas de harina" because I believe you should make the effort to learn someone's language if you're going to partake in their culture and food. These are hard working and sincere people! You may ask now, "okay dude but what meat should I get?" Honestly, you'll never go wrong with Asada but the Lomo de res (rib eye) is soooo rich and so good! Always tell them to put everything on the taco "con todo" (cilantro and onion) grab a lot of salsa and enjoy. We usually get a side of Pico de Gallo which they can do, as well as some Jarritos. The Pico is for the tacos. Look I can go on and on and on about this place but honestly until you go, you will either say "this guy is smoking crack" or "damn he is 100% right" as a former Los Angelino, again, Sun Prairie should be thanking El Primo from breaking up the monotony of "bar and grill" that Wisconsin as a whole has too much of. El Primo es increíble, ¡Me encanta la gente!

Tacobout a hidden gem!! Abarrotes is a small Mexican grocery store and restaurant in Sun Prairie.I ordered some chicken tacos while exploring the store. The store offers lots of authentic Mexican items including salsas, seasonings, churros, pastries, beer, etc. It'a a pretty small area but contains several shelves and plenty of items.The tacos were pretty good and very affordable. The were $2.50 each. They were served with onion and cilantro on top as well as with lime and salsa on the side. I though the meat could use a bit more seasoning. For me, the star of the show was the salsa! They provided a red and verde salsa with the tacos. Both were delicious!There's about 2 tables if you want to dine in but we ended up taking ours to go because the dining area was pretty small. You have to find street parking as well. Overall, pretty good little spot for fresh and authentic Mexican!

Excellent service and consistently splendid food. Always go with the milanesa de res!

The owners and employe are always so kind and friendly. Food? oh man their food is the best, very generous with their servings, and the taste is the best around Wisconsin and far beyon. I live in Fort Atkinson, 33 miles away from Sun Prairie, my family and I don't have a problem driving 45 minutes when we want really good and authentic tacos. Weekends menu is the greates, you have to be there early because everything sells fast do to how good it is. Just fabulou!

All I have to say is these are the best tacos in the Madison area. Service is always fast and nice. The place is authentic Mexican bustling with people getting their groceries and stopping in for their favorite Mexican foods.
