Taqueria y restaurant el primo

I love finding little hole-in-the-wall restaurants like this one. This whole shopping center is full of them, and you really can’t go wrong. The service was good, and the food was tasty and inexpensive. While you won’t find them on the menu, they have these silver dollar-sized tacos, steak or chicken, that are only $1.59 each. You just have to ask for them.

Food was good but I ordered steak pupusas and didn't get it. They only had cheese in them and I paid extra for steak

I ordered the carne asada tacos ! Absolutely delicious and tastes very authentic. The rice is pretty good but not the best I’ve ever had. The salsa verde is chefs kiss! I would definitely come back and I think I’ve found a new taco place!

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Cary, and I say that as a San Diego native. Love the tacos, and the beans are awesome. Everything else I've tried has been great. The servers are always wonderful and attentive.

Concerning the noise level, sometimes the music gets a little loud, but that hasn't happened lately.

Based on what I ordered the food was not authentic at all! Chicken pupusas were horrible, big chunks of chicken and seasoned with a lot of black pepper. Birria was nothing but greasy and unseasoned.

i ordered 2 chicken quesadillas. when picking up my order they only gave me one and then set a new order for my second to be made. the second order had no chicken nor the sides as soon in the picture. they also gave me an attitude when i asked for what i ordered. its not like i asked for no rice and they gave me rice. i ordered 2 plates and got one but was met with poor service and lack luster food

Excellent food for a fair price. Friendly staff, one even used google translate to help me with my questions which is going above and beyond. Absolutely worth checking out if you want some authentic Mexican food.

Very good Mexican food.

I’m certain they did something to my tacos drugged them. I heard what they said in Spanish, and they clearly didn’t think I understood, but I did. I threw the food out, but part of me keeps thinking about showing up again just to see that guy.

I went here for a nice easter dinner with my family. We sat down and immediately the music was blasting. We asked the waitress to turn it down twice and it was still too loud. The waitress was sweet and I know she could probably only turn it down so much, not her fault. Then as soon as we got our food, three to four flies were flying around the food. It was so gross. We got our food in takeout boxes and left. Service was good, though.

Was hoping to find this place delicious but the rice tasted like it was cooked 3 days ago the portion for the money was small ad I got more salad then the entree itself . So sad :(

We got fajitas, pupusas, sopes and tacos. All amazing, will be back

Moving to NC from LA, I’ve been searching for authentic, street style tacos. I drove 45 minutes one way before my work shift just to try their tacos birria - oh my god. Excellent tacos and consommé. They also have maduros and rice pudding, and a variety of Spanish sodas. I work in the service industry, and even the presentation in the to go box was thoughtfully put together. 10/10, I will be back.
