“A real winner! We stumbled upon this place after looking for somewhere new to eat since Prime BBQ had closed early. I didn't realize it was a food truck with an open patio and Latin music playing at the back of Prime BBQ. Their Latin cuisine is more Puerto Rican/Cuban style. Meaning the tacos are kind of standalone meals (1 is enough for some, 2 should fill up most people).

I had the Lechon taco which was perfectly juicy tender third of a pound of meat with tangy sauce on a tasty tortilla. I initially also split the queso with chorizo with my husband. He had a respectable Cuban sandwich with phenomenal tostones on the side. Everything was well seasoned and delectable.

After a few minutes to digest we went back for our second round of food. I ordered myself another lechon taco to go (to enjoy the next day, and can confirm it reheats wonderfully), in some of the most delicious crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside churros with chocolate drizzle and sweet perfectly balanced dipping sauce. I normally don't like tostones and prefer sweet plantains exclusively, but a taste of my husband's salty, crispy tostones paired with a perfect dipping sauce made me get my own order for the first time of my life!

I'm very picky about my Latin food as a native New Yorker whose best friend is Mexican, but Primo Latin Cuisine is a definite winner!

Kid-friendliness: Cute mini park play gym attached to Prime and accessible even after closing.

Wheelchair accessibility: All ground level with wide spaced benches“

“I don’t normally write reviews for restaurants but after visiting Prime, I just had to let others know. First, the restaurant was clean and beautiful inside and out. The staff was friendly and attentive. The line to order was out the door. I guess that should have been my first clue that the service and food was going to be out of this world. They offered cold water to us while we waited in line. This was me and my family’s first time trying this restaurant and they were so patient and answered all our questions on meat and the best options. (Yes, we were those people holding up the line. Sorry!) The young men cutting and preparing the meat were knowledgeable and super nice. I ended up purchasing several items (Brisket, Ribs, House Made Sausage, and Turkey Breast). All I can say is if you are within 100 miles of this place you must make the trip! Your stomach will love you for it!“

“My husband dropped off my mother and I at the front door. I entered the restaurant and asked for a table for three. The extremely rude hostess/ast. manager told we would have to wait for my husband to arrive before seating us. There I stand with my mother who has Parkinson and dementia having to wait before getting seated. I kid you not when we finally got seated it was literally 7 steps to our table that was vacant the entire wait. Big Ed's isn't ADA friendly. Avoid this restaurant!!“

“We have been coming to Big Ed’s for a long time, but this morning the hostess was rude when we asked for a certain waitress. Lynette and JP are awesome, but the hostess’s and the manager are not. P.S. - please don’t let Warren leave again. He makes the best eggs.“

“The 16yr old guy who took my order had only been there 10 days but did an awesome job! He clarified my order and was super calm.

The food came out fast and was hot and fresh. Only complaint is the chicken had lots of batter but not much meat (normal for fast food these days).

Bojangles is our favorite fast food and this location is a well-run machine.“
