We stumbled into Birria Los Primos as we were walking around in the area and came across the Underground Food Hall. Surprisingly, there are some really good options down there. Mexican food always sounds good to me so we chose this spot. We got 4 of the Quesitacos. They double up the corn tortillas and the outside one has a nice lil crunch to it. Then they add the Monterey Jack cheese, hit it with a massive serving of Birria and then top it with white onion and cilantro. These were really good but needed just a touch more salt or it would have been perfect. The consume was good but could have been slightly richer in flavor. The red sauce was perfect. Great flavor and heat. This is really a 4.5 star but Yelp still only allows full star reviews so Birria Los Primos gets a solid 4 stars. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely worth a visit when you're in town.

A little hidden restaurant where you'd least expect it. So heads up it's through a door that will take you down stairs to a food court. These tacos were made with love and be careful that chile is spicyyyy but delish. The consome was perfectly made with a sason! The hubs got the fries combo (sorry forgot the name) and I did not think I would like it and it also had a unique blend that will satisfy your taste buds.

My husband and I just happen to be near the Underground Hall looking for some place to eat, so we decided to go in, my husband tried some place that he didn't like. I decided to try Birria Los primos, Birria always calls me, I ordered two Birria tacos, and a Birria soup. The staff is very nice and friendly. The place is pretty cool, reminded me of The Post food hall. I got a time buzzer and the food came out pretty quick. The tacos come with double corn tortilla, with a generous portion of tender meat, onion and cilantro, fresh cucumber and radish slices, pretty good tacos! The consomé was flavorful and meaty just like I like it, and I was really happy with the size also. I would definitely recommend getting the 12oz I ordered with the tacos. Good experience at Birria Los primos!

Located in the Undrground Food Hall. This place is one of several vendors. We ordered two birria tacos. They were gone in a flash. Maybe we should have ordered more? Enjoy!

Yesssssssssss!!!!!!!! I would recommend this spot! I don't know how long they have been here, but this was my first time trying them out. They are located in the Underground Food Hall, a great place to get some food and hangout. I went after an event on a Wednesday night an it was a nice crowd inside. One restaurant had a long line because only one person was staffed, so I decided to give BLP a try. When I quickly glanced at their menu I saw Gringas on there so I had to try them! I was greeted by the gentleman and the young lady that was working and cooking behind the counter. I asked some questions and decided to try 1 Gringa with Asada. Now I'm used to seeing gringas made grilled closed like a smaller quesadilla, but they make theirs open like a taco. Either way I was still fine with trying it. The asada was some nice steak strips like full of flavor and that cheese... OMG! Was SO good!! So I went back to get more! This time they had the long line lol. This time I ordered another gringa with the Adobada (pork) togo, a Mexican Coke and a cup of elote. I ate the elote while I was there and it was perfection! You would think all elote would be good but some places truly put in the extra effort to make theirs taste better. This one was just right for me! The staff were so friendly, patient and helpful. I really enjoyed talking with them and would definitely be back when I'm on Main wanting tacos!

The churros were great too!

Stopped by for a quick dinner a s Birria Los Primos did not disappoint. The location is downstairs with multiple other eateries, with open seating. The young gentleman worked the cashier and cooked was super friendly and helpful with the menu. Thr queso birria tacos are thr way to go. It was very taste and the prices were not bad. I also got the mango aqua Fresca. Also very refreshing. I asked if the cashier if the churros were worth getting. He said he likes them and I'm glad I got them because it was hot and delicious. Overall, friendly service, great food, good prices.

While waiting on a resy for lunch nearby, we ordered the 3 birria taco plate. It was 3 of us, so we just split the tacos 1 each. They're adequately priced, came up hot and fresh. I will say that for a quick as the tacos came up they were DELICIOUS! Flavorful and the consume wasn't greasy it was very good. This is a place I'd come back to try other items. Service was ok.

Thank you for welcoming us in and for the delicious crispy & juicy birria tacos. We will be back. Loved the music and big TVs, great place to be with good company.

The Birria Taco plate!!
Amanda H.

The food and service was amazing! The cashier/server who served us was named Joseph and he was really attentive to our order and made sure that everything we needed was provided. He went above and beyond which was great! Also, look at this amazing food!!! The ambiance was chill because it was in the Underground which is a cool place to escape the Houston heat and get some good food.

Entrance is camouflaged among windows and doors to street level places. Find the door with 1010 above and that will take you to the bustling basement where 4 eateries share a common albeit cramped dining area, including Primo's. I got the birria trio tacos ($12) and they give you a small "pager" to carry. The entree was ready in less than 10 min (Sun evening) and came with a little cup of tasty au jus to dip each taco in. While meat portions were "decent" the tacos are barely 3 inches so, overall, it left me yearning for more. There's a dessert cart upstairs, right inside the front door before heading downstairs. Alas, I was successfully able to resist the carb rush that late (8pm). The two youths were not engaging at all but manned this establishment by themselves. Tables and floors are all sticky. Cooling is by giant horizontal floor fan. Tip: walk up Main (not Fannin where you'll pass dozens of displaced individuals, too many of them sadly high/tripping/yelling).

Conveniently located within the underground hall so there's other food options, bar with drinks, games and a great vibe! We came on a Saturday at 6 and just beat the rush. The street parking is free starting at 6 on Saturday's. However, they offer happy hour certain weekdays until six - pick your preference! The hall started to get busier as we left hy 7. We both ordered the quesibirria trio tacos and they were sooooo good. The meat is so tender and it has the perfect level of spice!! I loved it. We ordered extra to go because we liked them so much!

This place has Amazing food and great service. Definitely a must visit when you're in the area.

Birria Tacos with salsa and consome
Bobby B.

Oh Boy, the birria tacos were the REAL DEAL and by far the best tacos I've eaten in Houston. They were served with a delicious salsa and a wonderful consome that I dipped the tacos in. Located in the underground hall, this is a small establishment, but the service was great. The tacos are every bit as good as the ones I've gotten in Mexico City from street vendors. Please try these tacos; you won't be disappointed.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

Service was remarkable and very friendly from the host to the cleaning staff. Food was delicious. I really appreciated the creative flavors that were inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine. Standouts were the guacamole and wagyu carne asada, but everything was fantastic. I loved the Clara cocktail and enjoyed learning about the process to create it. It is clear that there was care and attention behind each menu item. Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert. Usually not a big fan of tres leches, but this one was not overwhelmingly soaked in condensed milk, and it has a very fresh tasting peach (seasonal) puree drizzled on top. We will most definitely return.

We ordered the breakfast burrito and the duck carnitas. We added barbacoa to the burrito, and it was honestly the definition of comfort food. It was EXTREMELY greasy though, so I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. If I had been home alone... I probably would've just shoved the whole thing in my mouth. I couldn't not order the duck carnitas. It came on a sope, which is basically my definition of the perfect Mexican brunch. It was really yummy, and I especially loved the salsa that came with it. My only real critique is that the portions felt a little on the smaller side. Either bump them up a bit or add a small side, because I definitely could've eaten a little more.
