Excellent tacos, pupusas, and tortas! Tacos el Primo is our go to and it never disappoints. My top faves are probably either tacos or pupusas. They are always friendly . They have a drive thru and the only sitting area is underneath a gazebo/pergola type patio. No dine in. Follow my food blog on ig @foodiesofnc

Everything was great but I have some Things to say then can boost up Bussiness too 1. If Chicken Grilled for some more time it will be awesome taste. 2.The side salsa or sauce for tacos is very very less please make sure to give more. 3.The Tacos needs to be cooked some more because we can see it's like half cooked but ok Only that's it. I will come back again with friends if u updated means

I've been going here for years now. This is by far the best,and fastest taco joints around. The al pastor is by far my favorite. The burritos are amazing. The staff that work here are on point. Love this place. The outdoor patio is awesome if you don't want to eat in your car. Man I can't give you guys enough kudos. I wish I knew fluent spanish. el mejor lugar jamas

Food was great. I did ask for 3 tacos and received only 2, but I was only charged for two. It was a misunderstanding for sure. But I was not hungry after what I did get. The Tamales are awesome. The marinated pork is my favorite protein. As it is a drive through it lost points on atmosphere, I mean my car was a mess. We’ll be back!

The ladies there are always beautiful and wonderful! They take such good care of their customers. The food is always delicious! Their green salsa is the BEST!! (If you can handle spicy)

Best dive thru authentic Mexican food. I waited for my food maybe 10 minutes after I ordered it and it was worth it, way better than fast food drive throughs. The staff is super friendly. I look forward to going back

We go on search across NC every weekend and search for authentic tacos and Mexican. One of the best so far. Came from Wake Forest and worth the drive. Great flavor, traditional toppings, excellent corn tortillas hand made. Priced slightly higher than some others, but worth it. Nice crowd even with COVID. Sat and ate at the rear pavilion and nice shade and breeze. Well done. And yes, that pepper was hotter than we expected.

Excellent customer service & the food is SO good. My 8 year old is picky but he devoured his chicken and cheese burrito. I enjoyed the steak tacos & my husband had pupusas and chicken tacos. Of course we had to get the lime jarritos to wash it down. We ate our meal in the pavilion, it was very clean and the bathrooms were well maintained. The parking is iffy but as long as you're not a jackass, it's not a problem.
