Los Primos Latin American Cuisine

This Los Primos is pretty good for a local El Salvadorian spot in the Rockville-North Bethesda area. The location is kind of an in-the-corner but for those who venture to Flagship to detail their whips? You all know where this location is haha.

Other than that, the food is good. I won't say amazing for there's better venues that provide a better flavor. If anything, this is perfect for the area seeing how the majority who domicile here are white people. After all, white people taste buds differ from minority tastebuds.

Now, I will say the only bad thing about this place is how they don't offer Birria Pizzas like their Laurel, Maryland location. Seriously, I don't understand why for they can make more money seeing how my colleagues and I are constantly ordering from their Laurel location on DoorDash; which kind of sucks for we have to wait 30-40 minutes for a delivery. Like I'm not joking. On average we probably spend around $250 a week creating a mass delivery order of Birria Pizzas for our hospital department. 😅

Omg that plain white rice is so delicious!!

Very clean, flavorful food. First place I've found that actually has legit Salvadorian AND Mexican food. Very rare to hit both types of dishes in an authentic and delicious way. 👍👍

Good drinks as well!

We stopped in for lunch today and had a delicious enchiladas meal with green sauce (one cheese, one chicken). The rice and beans, and pico de gallo were all very tasty. The portions are so generous we brought half home for dinner tonight along with an order of tacos. Service was fast and friendly, and owner Ariel gave us a warm welcome. I look forward to returning.

So disappointed. I expected a much better meal. I ordered a mondongo soup and the portion size of the meat that was given to me was extreamly smaller than expected. They only gave me one tiny piece of meat and the rest was vegetables. While the staff was polite and the ambiance was pleasant, the quality of the food was disappointing overall. Will never be coming back.

Not bad. Owner from El Salvador. They have more authentic food like beef tongue, etc.

I was a bit surprised and disgusted. Going to the bathroom and not finding any soap was scary. Just thinking about if there's soap in the bathroom then how are they cleaning their hands after they use the bathroom. This place was not sanitary from what I saw. All in all the food was very average and not seasoned. I will not return or recommend it to anyone.

My family and I dined her on a whim for dinner on Easter. It wasn’t thought out or planned. Just a last minute idea, as we frequently have passed this location uncountable times. We thought hey, why not?

The staff were cordial and attentive. The food was so good we forgot to take photos. The portions are sizeable and filling. We all ordered different items and there were barely to little leftovers. Everything has great flavor and was beyond expectations. It was great to dine outside and I look forward to another fantastic experience at Los Primos!

Los Primos is one of those spots where the food is so good that nothing else matters! Everything is scratch made and so fresh!

We sat at the bar and were greeted promptly by attentive and well-mannered staff. They were helpful with menu questions and there was quick turnaround once orders were placed. I am a very picky eater, but I managed to eat the entire Taquitos Dorados app myself! The drinks were delicious and well-proportioned. Strawberry Daiquiri is made with real strawberries.

Ariel, the owner operator, is a class act. Has been there since 2018 with his wife and a small staff comprised of family. He came out to introduce himself and see how we liked the food. There was such pride in his operation, and rightfully so!

Parking can be a challenge, and the entrance can be difficult to locate depending on which direction you approach from. As stated earlier, the food makes any small obstacle worth the hassle to get here.

They do catering orders as well, FYI! We will be back no doubt!

5/5 on everything. My friend and I went here last week our first time and omg the food was so amazing. The waitress was so nice and attentive, the margaritas were good. I got the enchiladas and my friend got the soup. My food was so good and my friend loved her soup so much she got it twice the same day 😂 we will definitely be back!!!
