    Two tacos de al pastor and one taco de asada
    Vette L.

    If you are looking for, somewhat, authentic tacos in the Annapolis area, this is the closest you'll get. The food I would give four stars but add the service, amid COVID-19 paranoia, and it gets three stars. I ordered three tacos and a coke. Total came out to $10.60. Not bad. The problem for me was I ordered tacos with no onions, I told her twice. When I was getting ready to eat my food it had onions. *bummer*. What sucks is I checked for how many limes they provided me with before leaving and I did not pay attention at that very moment that My tacos had onions. Of course, I asked for extra limes because they gave me one slice of a lime for all three of my tacos. She gave me an additional two slices. When I first arrived, it was empty, I was the only one ordering, no one came to the window. It was until the lady cleaning the table that's behind the truck (she was really nice), got the lady inside the truck to help me. I am short so I didn't realize the menu was on the truck counter. She then points and says "menu is right there." She didn't have a mask on, strike one. Lady who charged me didn't have gloves or a mask on, strike two. I was asked if I wanted my receipt sent to my phone, so I was like yes! That's genius, until she handed me her phone to type my number. That was strike three and a shame on ME for typing my number on the phone device when I had no gloves and she didn't either. ‍ I put hand sanitizer on as soon as I got in my car and washed my hands when I got to my office. This is the third time I eat out, which really consists of me picking up food and eating it at home or in this instance, my car, away from people, since March because of COVID-19 and how paranoid I am. Just a reminder to those restaurants, that we want to support you, we want to buy your food but when you don't display a safe environment, it breaks my heart. I hope to try this place again in the future because I believe in second chances. I'll just check my food before I leave the taco truck vicinity.

    6 dollars fridge to microwave fries, nasty.  If your preference is microwave food this is the spot.

    Never again will be ordering from this place. Looking for some good fries decided to give this place a chance to my luck I got some nasty fridge to microwave fries.

    I recommend trying his food it's right at the gas station. The tacos are great to try if you are unsure what to eat.

    The best tacos around Annapolis and well worth the trip over. I suggest the beef which is my favorite however the chorizo and chicken are also good.

    Taquitos....sorry we started eating them! But sooooo good!

    Food was amazing and seasoned well! I've always seen this truck but never stopped but I'm glad I did today! We were going to go to Uncle Julios but I wasn't waiting 1.5hrs!! We got the al pastor, chicken, chorizo, and carne asada tacos. Carne asada plate, pupusas, and taquitos! Yes, we ordered a lot!! Tacos were authentic, everyone loved and taquitos were very tasty. I wish I would've took pictures before we started but I saved some for later! LOL best decision we've made...better than Uncle Julio's! Unless you want "chain" Mexican food.

    One of the four plates I had to throw out when I got home.

    Dry tacos, rice tastes store bought. Beans were bland. Nice service but kind of pricy too for what you get

    DELICIOUS! That is now the first word that comes to mind when I think about this amazing food…read moretruck. It has a pretty wide variety of food options from tacos, to burritos, tostadas and quesadillas! I got a barbacoa (shredded beef), Asada (Steak), and pastor marinated with Pineapple tacos and they were all delicious and loaded with flavor and meat! The barbacoa and Pastor definitely stood out to me. I also tried the Horchata and Melon drink! Both were large portions and pretty refreshing and seemingly very fresh! Lastly I went back the next day because it was so good and tried the Barbacoa Burrito! And I think I'm in love! It was so filling and truly bursting with Flavor! It was a good balance of meat with rice, beans, onions, lettuce and cheese! Everything also comes with a green and red sauce! The service was great and very quick and they have about 3-4 tables outside in the parking lot for you to sit at if you want to eat it right there. I work in the area so I took it back to the office but a number of people seemed to be sitting outside and enjoying themselves! I look forward to going back any time I'm in the area!

Well, I walked in and spoke to the owner who informed me that this their 2nd day of opening their restaurant because they use to be in a food truck! I told them i'm here for the papusas lol and he was confident they are amazing and tasteful. He was very accommodating and the food was quick! My papusas finally came out and WOW!!!! the best part about their papusas is their bread is thin and you can taste more of the pork & cheese :) I will be back! I highly recommend everyone to try this local spanish restaurant.

    About a 1-1.5: Sorry, Taqueria El Primo, it's all you, not me…read more We made the trek to check this taco truck out, seeing that they had some great reviews, especially for their birria that's served on the weekends. Their menu offers various tacos, American-style tacos, grilled entrees, tortas, and even kid options. We ordered: +an order of tacos - I liked that they allowed you to mix-and-match, which was nice; we had 2 of the Asada and 2 of the Pollo +an order of birria - you can ask for a taco version or a quesabirria version, in which we opted for the taco version +guava juice - generous pour in the container, but this was super watered down/diluted The chicken tacos were pretty inedible - honestly, it was one of the worst chicken tacos we've ever had from a food truck. The chicken just had an off-putting taste to them, but also that they were super bland and had a weird texture. The carne asada was okay, but it could have used more seasoning. The tortillas that were used were dried out, so we weren't fans of those and sort of picked the pieces of meat out. The birria, on the other hand, was okay, but the consommé had a pungent odor to it, so I was not a fan of that. We also noticed that, even when we were super clear when ordering that we didn't want any cilantro (isin cilantro!) on either the birria or the tacos, and didn't want any cheese on the birria when asked, those were not honored; the tacos were heavily dressed with the cilantro, and the birria had cheese at the bottom and on the exterior of the shells. The red salsa is super spicy, and spice fiends would probably enjoy it. Staff is friendly and welcoming, and there are a few picnic tables set up for those who'd want to eat al fresco. Most seem to get their orders to go. I just wished I had the same or similar delicious experience others have had with Taqueria El Primo, but no dice. Located at the Sunoco station, there are some spots available to park; just watch out for broken pieces of glass that can found all over. +avoid the chicken tacos! +consommé has a pungent odor to it +inaccurate orders/customizations +friendly staff +at the Sunoco gas station

    This is a letter I sent to the company:…read more Today, September 16, 2020 around 5:38 pm, your food truck was in my neighborhood, Aspen Park. As I waited in line, there was a young man in front of me not wearing a mask. He approached the employee taking orders, placed, his order (while standing at a table with food items for sale-some homemade and wrapped with Saran Wrap), received his purchase, and walked way. Not once did the employee taking orders make a comment to him about being maskless, and still served him. When I approached the table to order, I was told that the truck lost their WiFi (which is a different complaint). I asked the employee why she served that young man with out a mask. Her response was, "Well I'm wearing a mask." Since July 31, 2020 at 5 pm, Governor Hogan issued an expanded mask order. In fact, he said "No shoes! No shirts! No mask! No service!" Why would your employee still serve someone not following the Governor's order? Why would this employee be okay with allowing someone to patronize their business without a mask? Why would this employee have such a nonchalant attitude about the public's health during this order and pandemic? Why is this employee allowed to put the Meat My Buns business at risk of infecting their other employees and the public? Do food trucks have any responsibility to follow the Governor's order? Why I ask? After the response from the employee, I told her that it is not okay with putting everyone's health at risk and walked away. Because of this interaction with your employee, I will not be patronizing this business. I will also be sending a complaint letter to the Governor's office. I will post this message on Yelp, Google, and other online sites that welcomes reviews. I look forward to a timely response to my questions. I hope you take my take my letter more seriously than your employee did with the person not wearing a mask. A concerned citizen.

This particular morning, they were offering a breakfast burger special: smash patty with bacon, egg, cheese, onions, jalapeños, and cilantro lime sauce. Their regular menu sells two different burgers: The Classic Double (lettuce, tomato, burger sauce) and The Retro Double (pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard). I opted for the retro double. The burger was good. It had a nice crust on the outside. There was enough ketchup and mustard on the burger to taste, but not so much that it's dripping off the sides when you bite into it. The fries were good. I wish they offered a bigger cup of them since they're almost $4. Burgers are $9.79, fries are $3.95, and drinks are $2.00. They also have merchandise like t-shirts, hats, and hoodies for sale. The employee that took my order was really friendly. I hope they make a return to the Crofton Farmer's market! I would definitely get burgers from them again.
