El Primo

To be frank, this review is solely for the al pastor cart out back. It is the only one I know of that uses wood to cook the rotisserie, unlike the propane powered infrared units. The meat gets a nice charred and smokey flavor. The char adds a crispy texture that is very welcome. The best al pastor I have had. And I have been eating this stuff for many years. The place is not pretty, parking blows, but then again, I walk here.
I have also tried the lengua and cabeza tacos. They were decent. The beans are good. I have not tried the ceviche, but I guess I must according to the other reviews.
Oh forgot to mention, the cart is not always out back. I thought it was just on Friday and Saturday, but I am not sure. That is a big negative.

Disgusting, it’s not clean it’s not kept, it’s not a place you want to eat! The sad part is I live right down the street and first impression is, this place looks like a dump should be some good food though! I had the flautas which seemed like they were store bought, the mrs. Had three tacos asada pollo and adobada… I couldn’t tell you which was which it all sadly looked the same and all were disgusting! I’ll give it another try maybe some drunken night but for the sober me no thank you!

I was Kind of skeptical in eating here, but I can say this place has the Best ceviche and shrimp tostadas in town… Hands down! Trust me there made just right. There so delicious no hot sauce or salsa needed.

My boyfriend introduced me to this place. Their tacos are good and on the weekends they have a taco stand. I really like their Ceviche. Place is run down, but food is really good. They have a big menu. They Offer diablitos, mangoliadas, tostilocos, aguas frescas, licuados. Also have a big screen tv

We just moved to CA and have been looking for authentic Mexican and finally found a legit place. We had the beef and chicken tacos. The owner and cook served us and were real nice. He hand makes all the tortillas to order. The salsa is awesome. This is now our new regular spot

Classic Barrio Hole in the wall with authentic Mexican food n American fast food for the kids. Staff is courteous and willing to add or remove anything from an order as you request it (no salt on fries, add fried egg to hamburger. Etc). All at a decent price. Good place to stretch a buck!

Primo exudes the very notion of «hole-​in-​the-​wall.» Your typical Mexican restaurant with an American flair (by way of hamburgers and fries). The outside and inside are pretty disgusting, where you’re smothered by stains, cracks, breaks, and other dysfunctional signs of disrepair that you’d expect to see in New Orleans right after Katrina. Inside, they’ll store the lettuce next to the cooler storing the bottled sodas (I’m not sure if this is a health code violation, but it probably is).
On a hot day, stay away from this place. They won’t turn on the A/​C. To be quite honest, I don’t think they even own one. Also, on days where school is in session, the place can be overrun with packs of hormone-​fueled teenagers attempting to satisfy their munchies cravings.
The food is cheap and edible. I’ve only purchased the burgers and burritos. So far I haven’t had food poisoning, so that’s a good sign, right?
