I just send my husband to order me and order of quesadilla and idk why if it’s the cooks there but there was no flavor on the chicken and that is not how a quesadilla should be they gave me basically two tacos with cheese and chicken I will be also calling them to let them know that the rice was hard. And that his food was cold. I been to the palmetto one and by far it has a better flavor than the one in Bradenton it had been 3 months since I have ate from them. Now never again and I will be letting my friends and family know of the flavor and quality of the food.

Updated: I did called and spoke to the manager she handled it well my complain and she will let the cooks know. I did appreciate that she did knowledge my complain and apologize. I will be coming back in the future hopefully things would have gotten better. But I will give it a few months before I order food from there again. Thank you

They say hole in the wall restaurants or “Mom and Pop” restaurants have the best food. I agree in this instance, they have some of the best food in a Mexican restaurant around here.

That said - the service is horrible. The young lady taking the orders told me she couldn’t sell me the tamale platter at 735pm because they come with 3 tamales and they had 2 tamales left. I understand it is 25 minutes till closing so I asked her what she could substitute for the missing tamale. She said she couldn’t sell it because it was short a tamale. I really wanted tamales and that was the only reason I drove across town to come here. She did not offer a solution until I provided my own solution when I incredulously asked her if she was not going to sell me the last 2 tamales because of this? Finally she offered to do a la cart pricing for the 2 tamales and I added a side of rice, a taco and a can of soda.

It is ready quickly and in 5 minutes I have my food. This would have been a wonderful visit despite the ordering confusion at the beginning but then she insisted it was take out only. I told her she closed in 20 minutes, why can I sit there and quickly eat it. She proceeds to tell me take out only after 7pm. After assuring her I eat fast and would be gone in 5 minutes, she reluctantly allowed me to sit there and eat my food. At 4 minutes 30 seconds (I set a timer on my watch), she is insisting it has been 5 minutes and she starts spraying cleaner near me while I am eating. I told her I have 30 seconds before I hit my 5 minute deadline. I finished at 4 minutes 45 seconds and left. That was at 745pm and closing time was 8pm.

She needs to take a customer service class because that is not how you treat customers. Especially if you want to grow your Business by word of mouth and reputation. I might try them again in the future but I hope by then the service will better. I would have given 4 or maybe 5 stars if the service had been nicer. Food was excellent.

We had the cactus tacos. My wife had them American style, I did them Mexican style. They were so delicious and sooo CHEAP! Highly recommend this place. No atmosphere to speak of, but that doesn't matter to me.

If you're craving fresh, flavorful, and authentic tacos, look no further than Los Primos! My boyfriend and I recently tried this gem near our place, and it did not disappoint. The variety of tacos we enjoyed were all delicious, leaving us eager to explore more of their menu. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a satisfying meal, Los Primos is highly recommended. We'll definitely be coming back for more!

After being a loyal long-standing customer of over ten years, I placed my normal order of a chicken burrito on 06/05/2024 around 7:15PM. I took one bite and immediately tasted half-done chicken and spit it out. Directly after, I brought this concern to their attention and requested for them to remake my burrito but this time actually cooked without any red meat or blood dripping onto my shirt. Sadly, without any consideration to my concerns, I was told they will not remake my burrito or I will not be receiving a refund because I took a bite out of the burrito. Common sense will tell you, the only way to know if the meat is done inside of a burrito is by taking a bite. I requested to speak with a manager and was told there wasn’t one on the premises. I have never experienced such a difficult time with this restaurant and I felt it was such a slap in my face to be greatly mistreated after being a returning and loyal customer for over a decade! I as well as my family were always treated respectfully and the food was never undercooked or overcooked, rather just right. I am in complete disbelief! They even told me to “never come back”. So many years, time, and money wasted for a business that clearly doesn’t even care! I am truly hurt and sad because they just lost a forever customer and now I have to take my loyalty and business elsewhere.

Great little restaurant! Clean, friendly, consistent. They have long bussiness hours, so you can get great food at anytime during the day!

Vegetarian options: .....don't get meat on your taco and BAM! Now it's vegetarian ?

Parking: Can park on both sides of the restaurant

Kid-friendliness: Nice outside dining with picnic benches
