Los Primos

I swear I've reviewed this place a dozen times, I don't know why it keeps disappearing, but I'm going to keep re-reviewing it because I want people to know how awesome this place is. I live in Seattle now, but every time I visit, this is one of the places U miss that's on my "must list." My favorite is the shredded beef taquitoes. Give them a try.

Passing by this town originally we are from Bakersfield glad we found this spot definitely recommend it will come back if we are around in this town

Wow!! First time here and the food and service is fantastic. Tacos are very good and they have a great salsa selection to choose.

The food tastes freakin good. I went to Los Tacos, nasty compared to Los Primos. I had a burrito from Vallartas Express, cold and nasty compared to Los Primos. Those food is good, hot and flavorful. I eat here about 3 days a week.

We just recently rediscovered Primos. It is amazing. I thoroughly recommend it. We have enjoyed every we've eaten there. The carnitas is moist and flavorful. The refried beans have a great savory almost smokey taste. The pazole made us feel like we were back in Mexico. And the salsas... so good. Especially the green one. They have spicy carrots and chips available. Large portions. Even a monster burrito that is huge. Daily specials. And don't forget the churros. They are almost as good as the ones at Disneyland. (No one can beat those though, because you can only get them in Disneyland 🙂) I go to primos as often as I can.

Primo's is the best Mexican food around! I'm so glad there's an authentic and delicious little spot so close to my office. Josefina was very kind and helped me choose my order, which were the "Surf and Turf" tacos and the steak and eggs breakfast burrito. Both were excellent!

Amazing food! Every time my wife and I go eat here the food is always consistently good. Their monster burrito is by far the biggest burrito I’ve ever had

This place has the best horchata I have ever had. We love the 619 monster breakfast burritos. The flavor and the portion size is top notch. The only thing I would want them to improve is the amount of cheese and mayonnaise they put inside the flaming street corn bowls(esquites). I attached a picture of what the esquites look like.

On this cool wet summer evening, abondigas soup $9.75 is exactly what I need since i wasn't that hungry. It came with rice and choice of tortillas, chopped onions& cilantro. 5 good sized Mexican meatballs that have rice inside as fillers. Slightly citrusy which is what I like. Salsa habanero is super hot, so use judiciously. Decent service.

Amazing food, I ate a burrito the size of a full pork loin. Only complaints are the paper it was sitting on started to disintegrate from the sauce and plastic knife was not sturdy enough to cut through the monster burrito

Mixed bag. The tacos and quesadilla were a big hit. We also appreciated the free chips and salsa choices. We didn’t like the enchilada, sauce was too salty and the chicken was dry.

I am usually a fan of the food here at Primos and I had heard the the chilaquiles were good. So i was craving them this morning and I decided to try them... Im sorry but no bueno. The Chipotle sauce was not good at all. the rice was cold and hard it seemed like it was reheated from the night before. This is not the spot for the Chipotle Chilaquiles. They also didnt tell me that that it came with 2 eggs when i ordered it over the phone and that they were over easy. Wish they would have told me and I could have had them well done or just not at all. You can see where I removed the eggs.

The burrito was huge but the meat was extremely chewy and we did not enjoy our food from Los Primos... Wouldn’t order again.

What kind of taquitos are these and why do the toppings look like this? No lettuce, no sour cream, the taco shells aren’t even crispy. This looks like something from a cardboard box, thrown in the microwave. This place is disgusting. Never going there again.

9.70 got me 3 rolled tacos that taste like a frozen walmart brand. Prepare from a container guac? And refried beans...from a can? And fries with a drink. Hands down the best item is the fries and drink. I felt like I was bothering the cashier when i asked if the guac had onions in it. This was my first time here. Quite sure its gonna be my last. I hear their monster burritos are good, but I might never know.

Ordered via Uber Eats. This meal was terrible. Visiting Carlsbad for business & craved Mexican food. We thought, Primos Mexican Food would be authentic. Nope, the meal tasted like taquitos and enchiladas you purchase at the frozen section at Costco. We ordered 2 chicken enchiladas topped with lettuce, 2 taquitos w/Guacamole, & the Flamimg Hot Monster Burrito. Enchiladas- No flavor at all. Ate only 1/2 as I was grossed out by the terrible taste. Not even the salsa helped. Taquitos w/Guacamole- Just because it's green, you can't claim it to be anywhere near Guacamole. it was brownish green. We had 1 taquitos each (the ones not touching the so-called guac), again, frozen taquito flavor.. Flamingo Hot Monster Burrito - the Hot Cheeto bag was probably left opened as the Cheetos were too soggy. Maybe, a Monster can eat this. Side of Rice & Beans - Tasted the beans and just put what went into my mouth into a napkin. We're all about Mexican Food and supporting small businesses, but this was no Mexican food. Save your appetite and shop elsewhere.

The amount of grease in the burrito is insane. It was dripping out of the bag, and had to use multiple napkins to soak most of it up and even after it was still extremely greasy. I love burritos, but this was just too much grease. We ended up having toss both our burritos because the tortilla was so drenched.

Twice they got the order wrong. I only wanted cilantro. She’s still called the manager and for the third time she said I only didn’t want cilantro still very incompetent service and being mad at the customer for them getting it wrong. What a joke you guys can do better.

Good cashier, complete ripoff. Absolutely no meat on the carne or guac asada fries. Horrible!
