So I gave this place 2 chances, both times customer service sucked real bad. Cashier has a real nasty attitude and it throws the whole vibe off. That area is already horrible, so you actually fit right in. The first time I went I got my lettuce wraps on brown lettuce, the 2nd time I I went I asked for 2 tacos, one beef and one fish taco..they put them both together in one container..everyone knows that you are supposed to leave fish items by themselves for allergy reasons..smh

Hard shell beef tacos meat was tough and stringy and very hard to chew. Enchilada was real runny and made the shell on the hard shell taco soft. Will not be going back.

Had the rolled tacos and they were actually not bad, but gotta give this place 1 star on service. The cashier lady had a very bad attitude with me and my friends right off the bat. We were polite the whole way and she just seemed to be having a really unpleasant attitude towards us and people coming in the restaurant from start to finish that made me feel unwelcome and not want to enjoy my food. I rushed out of there as soon as i was done eating. Would not come here again over this.

I asked for 3 tacos, and the cashier girl rang it up for 4 didn’t notice until I got home. It should have been a red flag cause I asked a question about the food and got attitude from the girl working the register. It was not that great the Birria was not fresh tasting and was not happy with the order. When you enter the gate outside of the place, there are so many flies. I don't know why I ordered at that point. I will not be coming back here again.

The cook at this restaurant was horrible the rolled tacos I ordered wore so hard like a rock it was hard to bite into meat was super dry my stomach started hurting after I ate the food which was upsetting it had a bubbling feeling after I ate it like if the food was old I noticed the coworkers wore flirting alot girl went outside with a leaf blower then served my food unsanitary? I didn't eat breakfast and this was my late lunch I went at the restaurant around after two pm what a disappointment I was about to eat at sports arena cuz I know they have really good Mexican food but I wanted to give a new spot a try no customers wore there when I got there plus they have the music in the TV very loud I can even hear it when I had my headphones on terrible customer service flirting in a work force? Horrific food tasted like garbage couldn't eat it all the cook needs to learn how to cook my stomach is bubbling right now I have an event to go to tonight I hope I don't get sick! Thank Goodness I didn't tip them I usually tip but the customer service lacked poor customer service. Don't go here!!!!

I wanted some carne asada fries, I thought I would try this place out but honestly I was completely disappointed ?. For $15 they could at least added some pico de Gallo to the fries but there was only guacamole and sliver of cream and to top it off the salsa was diluted water that was flavorless. They should have called it guacamole fries because there was no meat, maybe a table spoon if that. I was truly disappointed, I did not get my money's worth. I can make guacamole fries at home for ALOT cheaper. I totally regret not going to El Paisa's located at 2494 Imperial Avenue, they have the best Carne Asada Fries in all of San Diego. I do not recommend El Primos Birrieria, they are overated.

It seems they redecorated but it seems when ghetto spots do that they almost always change the food for the worse....case in pointI went in foelr a fish taco...almost 6 bucks to wait for a lukewarm piece of Gordon's fish topped with crunchy cabbage and minimalsalsa or creme. I was tight but I didn't have time to take it back. Then the girl that took my order had some fetidh with her hair. How about doing us all a favor since you work around food, put it up.Nasty - expensive - and not worth it...oh and there's no parking either. U gotta ride the trolley and sift thru all the nasty homeless.....first do yourself a favor, hit Humbertos on 25th and Broadway instead

Horrible experience my fish taco was terrible, it tasted like a frozen fish stick from Ralph’s. The Birria taco was bland, flavorless and dry. With no consome or radishes. I couldn’t even finish it after the horrible fish taco. And when I tried to get a refund or at least something else to eat. The manager said they couldnt do anything. Overall terrible, wouldn’t eat here if you’re looking for good tacos.
