Such a great find! I absolutely love authentic Mexican tacos. The moment you walk in you can feel the authenticity. It's quite a vibe inside. The decor is a bit much, but it's fun. I was in there around 1pm on a Saturday and it was packed. Even though it was super busy, everything was running smoothly. I ordered four individual tacos (chicken, chorizo , steak, and carnitas) and a side of rice and beans. $18. The tacos are exactly what you'd expect for an authentic Mexican taco. Corn tortillas packed with meat and topped with cilantro and onions. I really enjoyed the chorizo taco and the rice beans. Great flavor and not too salty. I wasn't as excited about the other three as the meat was slightly under seasoned and dry. The sauces they give you definitely helped. Overall, I was happy with the entire experience. I will just go for different taco options next time.

What a great spot! We had tacos al pastor and quesobirria tacos. Both were excellent. There's a good selection of sauces and condiments, like pickled onions (a little spicy). Love the Jarritos Piña and horchata.

You ever just want to gate keep so bad? That's how I feel about Taqueria Los Primos. I've been making the 40 minute trip out here for the last few years because I love it that much. The shrimp tacos are my go to, but I've also had the Caldo de Mariscos and the Shrimp Quesadilla. Don't leave without trying the Tres Leches. It's literally the best. The service is great. This is an order at the front and they bring it to you type of place. Great place for up to four people, but I wouldn't do more than that because it's tight. No frills.

A great place amazing Mexican food always packed so travel accordingly the food is delicious a must stop if your around the laurel area

I just love this place. I enjoyed dinner here but tonight seemed to be exceptionally good. The service is sometimes spotty as it depends on how many people are working,. Jam packed with locals , cant go wrong with food ! Lots of vegetarian options too. we had the burrito , taco and dessert and cant complain on anything . The portions were big and the food was delicious. They have various sauce option on separate sauce counter. Definitely will visit again !

It's been over 7 years...still worth the drive and money. Under new ownership, but they've managed to work out the kinks that made it so-so a few years back. There was an unfortunate period where the food wasn't seasoned. It seemed like they were trying to appeal to a different palate, but thank goodness that hurdle was cleared. Finally tried the cabeza tacos that people keep raving about and they're a delicious treat! A little greasy but worth every bite. So are the Al pastor tacos. I didn't know how much I loved pork until now. Honorable mention: those wonderful bags of pinwheel style chips. The cashier said they're made of pork and my oh my oh my! Crispy, delicious, and the Mexican version of Lays chips. I dare you to have just one. My only gripe? They no longer have lengua tacos :( So...Los Primos...please keep my love of pork a secret for now. I'll break that rule just for you! ;)

I've had the trucks before but this was my first time trying the restaurant location. The interior is brightly decorated. You order at the counter and then seat yourself. The food came out pretty quickly and the portions are good. I got the birria tacos with cheese and it came with 4 tacos and consumé. They were flavorful and greasy haha! Super filling as well. The grilled onions and green salsa included were awesome too. The Mexican coke was giant, I needed backup to help finish it. The horchata was good but I felt it was grainier than I'm used to. The chips and salsa were great too, the salsa tasted uniquely umami to me. My partner also loved the ceviche he got!

This was my first (but not last) visit at Los Primos and I enjoyed everything, including the speedy service and online ordering. Ordering online ahead of time meant I walked right up to the register and he handed me my bag. I came on a Saturday morning around 11:30 and it wasn't busy yet. The queso tastes like a typical cheese sauce from a can with slightly more seasoning, so I'm not mad? But it's definitely milder and not as flavorful as a white queso from other restaurants. The guacamole was simple but very good, and it started to brown a little bit once I opened the container, which I was really happy about because it meant it was real ingredients lol I thought the birria tacos were delicious. Flavorful, a slight kick, lots of meat in the shell. It was good with and without a squeeze of lemon, and with and without the consommé. A taco is really good if it can stand on its own, and this one did. 4 of them was way too many. Next time, I'll order 2 tacos and get 2 different flavors instead of the 4 Tacos de Birria dish. I was expecting there to be cheese on them but there wasn't. I'm sure my expectations is just me being American. I was disappointed when I saw there was no cheese, but then didn't care at all once I tasted it. The side of beans and rice was evenly flavored and complemented each other really well. Sometimes I feel like the rice from American Mexican restaurants can be bland, but this one wasn't at all. Not overly seasoned, but obviously seasoned. I'll be back!

Authentic Mexican restaurant with great tasting tacos! My friend and I ordered Cups and salads Birria tacos Carne asada taco Buche taco Tripa (crispy) taco Al pastor taco The tacos were all seasoned well and delicious! I love how generously they were filled too. I would definitely recommend coming here to see Mexican decor/cultural pieces and eat authentic food!
