Tacos El Primo

This was a little salt away from being really good. Overall the meats were pretty bland. However, the bright spot is that the rice and refried beans were AMAZING (they still needed salt though). Texture was great!

Love this neighborhood joint. Tried their quesabirria today which was delish! Great service as always with a casual atmosphere. Always recommend

Love this place! Amazing food, good location. Highly recommend! Ordered the tacos the special.

Very clean, great customer service, so many verities in foods unlike your regular taco or basic Mexican restaurants, which is my favorite. so much space and tables to sit. 10/10! Also they are open SUNDAYS!!!!

[Same as Sosa Foods profile and review]Hole in the wall taqueria counter in a convenience store. These are my favorite kind of finds. Apparently the location has changed hands a few times, with the current iteration a Mexican Taqueria. Meat choices are bountiful, and more varied than the familiar places on Lake Street: carne asada (steak), al pastor (marinated pork), carnitas (pulled pork), chorizo (sausage), lengua (beef tongue), chicken, Picadillo (seasoned beef), y Chili Negro. Additional meats available on the weekend are Cabeza (beef head meat), y Tripas (tripe). Also Menudo (tripe soup) on the weekends. I ordered tripas, cabeza, y lengua in three tacos. If you pay with card they give you a sticky note with the total and go to the checkout counter to pay. At $8.12 for three tacos it's about right compared to the closest famous taqueria: Pineda Taco at 55 and Lake. However, I thought it was a little high for what the place is. Seriously their rent has got to be a fraction of the competition I will list below. In terms of speed of service for a taqueria they were slow. We're used to Pineda Taco, El Riendo Taco (NE), El Taco Loco (Columbia Heights), Mercado Central (Lake St) y Maya (NE) where the tacos are immediate. They are slower than Taqueria La Hacienda (Lake St). As for food quality it was yummy. They are a little light on seasoning compared to the competition though. Overall it's all legit and authentic. They do fill a void in Longfellow where this really is the only place. It would be a fun stop on your way to or from Minnehaha Park, and you don't want to deal the craziness on Lake Street. Next time I'll for sure try the Menudo. Minus one star for speed of service and price.

Hidden gem. I love this family-owned place. They are super nice and friendly. Always the same people working there. One lady and two guys. It is located inside Sosa Food. There is one small table with three chairs and some bar stools. The kitchen is an open view, you can see how they make your food through a glass wall. The price is very cheap. Usually I get their tacos and horchata. Very delicious! Highly recommend this place! Parking lot.

So I've only had the tacos but a local recommends the burrito. The place is in a convenience store. You are not getting a fancy dining experience. But it is clean and the food is flavorful and amazing. Here's how it goes: You order. Your tortillas are made fresh. Whatever you ordered is placed in those freshly made tortillas. You add your sauce. You feast. That's all you really need to know.

Food is good but anything besides tacos is expensive. $9 for rice and beans is crazy. $1.00 for takeout salsa? They really nickel and dime here

I stopped in at lunch time on a Tuesday. I looked over the menu and sat down. The folks behind the counter looked at me and then continued to make food and serve others. At no point did anyone motion to me, nod at me, or say a single word (in any language) to me. After sitting by myself at a table with no one paying a bit of attention to me for 10 minutes I got up and walked out.I'm not sure what the issue was, although I can guess. Either way I'm from Texas and California and love a good taco spot and speak enough Spanish, but I damn sure won't give this place a try again. I'll never understand this kind of treatment; if you don't want to serve a customer then don't work/open a restaurant.

Delicious Mexican food made to order! Wide variety of items on the menu, reasonable prices, quick friendly service, and nice atmosphere. I had the sopes and a horchata to drink. Both were wonderful. Lots of space to dine in, even with a large group. Or easy to get take out quickly too. Wide variety of beverages and even some desserts too. Be sure to check this place out!
