El Primo Restaurant

We yesterday with the wifey. We had a very good meal. Not sure why the rating is so low. We had Yuca Alcapurrias and Beef Empanadas for appetizers. Very tasty and freshly made. Our main course was Steak and Onions with Mofongo (not the best) and Carne Frita with White Rice and really good red beans. Would definitely go back. The service is a little slow, but not the worst I've had. The place does need a little makeover. The lighting is a bit dull. Need more lighting to make it livelier.

The food was outstanding, so here's my honest opinion the mofongo was not what I liked, so the texture of it reminds me of firmness of mofongo but tasted sorta of mangu. I just did not like it my husband said it was okay. Now what made it outstanding is the alcapurria de yuca filled with tasty ground beef was my Favorite. The rice and beans were delicious the beans are packed with flavor so good ! The steak and onions were really good the steak was tender too.. We will most definitely be back. So, for two drinks, two appetizers and two main dinners it was all $58 including tip for me it was way worth it and great price. Also the ladies here are very friendly and attentive. It's a whole in the wall so it's just okay they can do a better job with lighting that's important when it comes to dinner and ambience it gives off dark and slightly depressing not a good feeling when walking in. Other than that it's a wonderful spot ! Much success !

OK not gonna lie. This was a very different experience for me because this was a karaoke restaurant I guess on the night that I went I had a good time very family oriented. The food was yummy but a little oily the drinks taste good however, I can taste the cheap liquor.Our server was so overwhelmed. She had three tables that were all large parties, so I felt so bad she couldn't keep up.

First time visiting this location looking for authentic Back home meals. It was pretty empty just 2 servers and 1 cooker. We order alcapurrias as starter and a passion fruit mojito, even tho it was some what empty it was taking bit longer , for meals we order a Mofongo with conch , shrimp, and octopus it was delicious however they only put 3 shrimps on the plate , also a Mofongo with chicken , skirt steak and fried Pork and again 3 shrimps. The second meal we thought it could be better the meats potions was very very small amounts but it was pretty good , not worth the actual price. Over all it was pretty good. For all items we pay 100$ which it was little more than expected.

Food was amazing but the noice was so loud. The musics is so loud you can even have a conversation with the person next to you.

So I came here with high expectations because it's been talked about so much. That is the place to eat Alcapurrias, bacalaitos, empanadas all Puerto Rican fritters and more. Well, I was very disappointed. The only thing good that I came out of eating here was that I had a nice number 2. The food made me sick. The only good thing that I had there was the yuca empanada. I felt so rushed when I ordered that my order didn't come out right. The food was lukewarm. You can tell that they've been sitting there for a while which I think is why I got sick to my stomach. The pizza empanada was worse, it was bread and lightly sauced not even cheese. I don't recommend this place at all it's overrated. The alcapurria who is nothing special had hardly any seasoning. The service was so so, won't go there again. The ambience of the restaurant is very rushed. There is no seating and you have to eat it in the comfort of your car.

The food is . Unfortunately they have a service charge (18%)and on top of that tips and on top of that 2% on your credit card. Watch out they may charge 2% even when paying cash. Everyone in my group of 12 people were unhappy since eating outside has become too expensive.

Best empanadas ever Kids love pizza empanadas and I do too.My DoorDash or Uber go to eat !!Yummy food and sauces .Thanks 5 star service

This is The second time I eat here . First time was good, now alcapurria was greasy, the sorullo de queso was tiny) they serve only one ) greasy as well. My steak was all chewy, and the Mofongo had no flavor.Not sure if I'll give it a third try.

The food was good but kind of pricey. Be aware of the extra charge they're ridiculous 20% service charge plus 3.41 for credit card charge plus they ask for tip.
