    Chicken Nachos Grande
    Lohgan S.

    Food is fresh and the service is good. Everything is kind of ala carte but it's very filling and a pretty good price! The chicken is very flavorful and it's a great place to try. Very efficient establishment.

    Ate here for the first time today. I got the Cali burrito and it was just what I was looking for! I'll have to come back and try more

    Steak tacos

    I have to say this is hands down one of the best restaurants in the quad cities. Everything that I ever had from them was great. The food is amazing!!! The staff and the cooks are great. Everything is fresh and everything comes out hot. Sometimes it can be busy but it's worth the wait. The price of the food is reasonable and worth every dollar you pay. I eat there at least 10 times a month and I'll continue to go there!!

    Tacos and Pop
    Joel K.

    Los Primos, what can I say? Sadly, I was a bit underwhelmed by the tacos here. Don't get me wrong, they looked amazing. I walked in on a Friday and they appeared to have daily specials. Friday just happened to be 5 tacos and a soda/pop for $10. This was a very reasonable deal. I was happy to finally get some tacos after wanting it for over a week. This place made me want to cry... the tacos didn't meet expectations. Sadly, the service was very slow. After sitting down, I was ignored for a good 10 minutes. What made it even worse was waiting another 15 minutes after ordering the food for the tacos to arrive. That's a long time to prep 5 tacos. Anyhow, the food: Carne Asada Tacos: The meat was a bit lacking. Dry, like it had been sitting out for some time and didn't have much flavor. The tortillas were hard and almost seemed stale. I felt tears of sadness eating these tacos. Al Pastor Tacos: The meat on these tacos were a bit better than the carne asadas. There was some flavor, but still a bit bland from my taco experiences throughout the United States and Mexico. Still, it was passable, but again... those darn tortillas... why so stale and bad? Carne de Puerco: This was probably one of the tastier meats that I tried. Wasn't dry and had a good deal of spice to it, but again... the tortillas... *cry*. All in all, the service wasn't the best and the wait time was horrible for food that shouldn't take that long. It doesn't seem like they're really prepping all the food fresh in the back as much of it tasted like it had been sitting and was precooked, this definitely included the tortillas which on all accounts was stale and hard. The food was meh too me. Wasn't the greatest, but not the worst I've had. Decent for the price. Sadly, the service and the horrible tortillas didn't really help this place much in my opinion.

    5 tacos + beans and rice. 2 spicy pork, pork belly, lamb, steak. Awesome! Lamb is my new favorite!

    I've been to most Mexican restaurants in the quad-cities and this is by far the best. Great staff and excellent food! La Regia in Iowa City is supposed to be the best in the state. I think Los Primos can beat them!

    two tacos and rice

    It was ok. Good but just ok. Price wasn't too expensive. We had pozole. Meat was super tender but it was ok.

    Al Pastor, Carne Asada, Carnitas and another Al Pastor
    Travis C.

    Why does the best taco spot have to be located in the Quad Cities?? Man this place has some of the best Al Pastor I've ever had and they have a pork belly tack as well. It's located across a gas station along a busy road. Now let's get to the food... My first time here I ordered 2 al pastors, steak and pork. The Al Pastor was seasoned and flavored so nicely that I totally forgot that it didn't come with pieces of pineapple. Usually Al Pastor has pieces of pineapple FYI but that didn't hurt the flavor of the meat at all. The steak was cooked perfect and seasoned just as well and so was the pork. My second visit I had all Al Pastor with Pork Belly taco and it was Taco Tuesday so they had ground beef tacos for 99 cents, so why not. The ground beef taco was amazing and I wish I ordered more but the high light was the pork belly that came with some green sauce on top. Wow! Wow! Wow! The flavor of that crispy pork inside that taco was on point. If you're ever around the Quad Cities, do yourself a favor and be sure to check this place out. Trust me it's worth it!

    The five Taco special!
    Daniel S.

    The food and service were both wonderful. Have been here a few times now,. Their tacos are legit, with a lot of meat options. The last that was our waitress was very nice as well. We will be back again for sure!
