Parking: there was a good number of parking spaces when we went! However, if there are a lot of people, I could see it getting tight. Seating: there's not a ton of seating. When it gets packed, I can see people just taking the food to-go. There were 4 round picnic tables for people to eat on. However, other than that, there weren't a lot of places to sit and eat. The ambiance is very chill and casual! Food: the food was really good! I got the chicken burrito and I really enjoyed it! My fiancé got the steak quesadilla and he really enjoyed his too! We obviously shared our food and enjoyed each others as well! Bathroom: unfortunately, because it is a food truck, there were no restrooms. So I suggest you use the bathroom before going to get food! Price: the price was normal! It wasn't crazy expensive, like some places, which is another reason I really enjoyed this food truck!! It tasted great & it wasn't overly pricey! Service: the guy who took our order was kind and made it a pleasant experience! :) read more

Tacos El Primo - Steak quesadilla~ - Mexican Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Tacos were good for the area. Need to try more but don't enjoy the fact that the location is cash only. Need to try more around for a better sense. They definitely do not compare to any taco I've had from California. I'd give them an 7.5/10 for here but would be a 4/10 in California. read more

Delicious! I crave these when I'm in Charlottesville. Love the birria with consommé and the carne asada tacos.

Food amazing. Service is great primo. Has tables outside to dine with umbrellas/cover. If you're on the go they also offer take out. Yes this still only take cash, but worth it! Support local businesses. This place is legit. Raza, estos tacos están a toda madre! read more

Genuinely the best burrito/tacos I've ever had. Meat is cooked and seasoned to perfection and their homemade salsa is unreal. Food is cheap and the quality matches something of twice the price. At this point I'm coming back twice a week minimum. Highly, highly recommend stopping by, my go to order is a adobada burrito supreme (regular burrito is just as good). read more

The menu is perfectly sized so everything can be really good and the people are GREAT. One of the best spots in Harrisonburg.

Go early for more options. By the time we got there, they were out of chorizo & al pastor. So we got Chicken, adobada and asada. Tacos we're good, but a little under seasoned and dry. The salsa was spicy so be careful! Also, if you plan to eat outside, bring bug spray (I got bit just waiting out there for 10-15 minutes). One last thing to note: service was fairly quick but unfortunately, not so friendly. Also, there was salsa spillage before we left the lot, so our to-go bag was carelessly put together. read more

Great street tacos, burrito not that great. I'm from California, hands down best Mexican food around..especially the burritos...I have NEVER had a burrito with lettuce and tomato..in my opinion a salad doesn't belong in a burrito. It was just okay, could of used more meat, as I mentioned, I'll return for the tacos..that's it...super burrito = $9 read more

Tacos El Primo - Salad in my burrito..why??? - Mexican Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Fantastic authentic taco truck. The Torta Loca was fabulous. Best sandwich I've eaten in the last year. Fresh off the griddle, crispy meats and bread, be sure to eat it while it's hot! read more

Food truck located next to the James Madison University campus. For family of 5, we ordered 10 pork tacos, 10 beef tacos, 10 chicken tacos and a quesadilla for the wife. Recommend eating with the mild salsa (for non spicy peeps). However the hot sauce is spicy and very good. Only outside seating (a few outdoor tables). Many people ate in their cars. Food is tasty. If you want to get your taco on in Harrisonburg VA, this is your place. read more

Tacos El Primo - Mexican Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

The best authentic tacos and burritos in Harrisonburg! For $8, I got 5 steak tacos with onions, cilantro, lime, radish, and these two amazing side sauces (mild and spicy). I also ordered a supreme chicken burrito for $7 which was so flavorful and loaded with beans, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. The flavor for both of these dishes were so unique and are consistent each time. They are quick and efficient when it comes to getting your food out. I typically order to go, and the longest wait time was approximately 10 minutes (there were about 3 people ahead of me). On cold days, they would hand out a buzzer so you can wait in your car. The only downside is the cash only policy. read more

Great food, quick service. Definitely worth a stop. Parking can be a bit busy depending on the time but the quality of the food is fantastic and worth it. Outdoor seating is available and nice. read more

Great food! We loved the tacos and torts. Ask for the chilies if you want an extra kick.

Flavorful and filling! I took my friend here to share the experience of amazing food so we ordered an assortment of tacos (steak, pork, chicken, chorizo). All were absolutely wonderful, tender, and LOADED - I particularly enjoy the fact that they put 2 tortillas for each taco so you don't have to worry about breakage. When it comes to favorite meats, we enjoyed the chorizo, pork, chicken, then steak tacos in that order but the star of the show was the salsa. I love hot and spicy and this salsa was right up my alley. It was just enough kick where you enjoyed the burn and couldn't help but go back for more. You know its good when your lips are still tingling 5-10 minutes after eating. I love this place and have never had a bad experience. read more

came to this little taco truck stand after a football tournament. they have pretty limited parking so almost everyone has to street park in the neighborhood. they have about 3 picnic tables so it's first come first serve to sit and eat. i don't think they have the usual sodas like sprite or coke so we made sure to stop by a gas station and pick up drinks beforehand. the lady that took our order was civil but when we asked for napkins and questions about the menu we were met with very cold looks and curt responses. the food was pretty mediocre, nothing that blew me away. to be honest it was pretty bland, and the sauces that came with it didn't really help the taste either. price wise, it wasn't bad but i just expected a lot more in terms of taste wise as this place has a high rating of 4.5 stars. overall i was a little disappointed because i came with higher expectations. read more

Had a wonderful lunch at this Mexican restaurant very nice waiter I had excellent tacos one friend had a taco salad and another had a burrito wish this restaurant was closer to Florida read more

You might miss it trying to find it! They take cash only and round it up to the dollar. I got veggie burrito, spouse got tacos. Canned drinks, sangria senorita and diet coke. Tacos were awesome. El Pastore and asada. Veggie burrito was so filling and tasty with the green sauce. If in town will def stop again. read more

Tacos El Primo - Taco truck. - Mexican Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Right next to the Korean food truck, Kangnam Style. The prices are very fair for the amount of food you get. Tax is already included for every menu options. One thing that I was confused on was that they only accept cash. Luckily I was carrying cash, but I believe this is my first time coming across a cash-only business. I understand they want to avoid credit taxes but others without cash might not handle it well. They have burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and torta. For your meat choices you have steak, spicy pork, fried pork, chicken, Mexican sausage, beef tongue, and spicy pineapple pork. I went with steak because you can't go wrong with beef since it's so versatile. I'd say it's on the spicier side, so if you can't take hot foods, I'd suggest you request for reduced spices. I thought it was the perfect amount of spiciness though. Other than that, I'd say that it was a good meal. Not quite sure if I'd choose this place over Chipotle though. UPDATE- I gave this spot another visit to try out their other meat choices. I must say that the Alpastor (spicy pineapple pork) is another good option. Little bit more spicier than the Asado, but juicer. read more

Love this place!! Swear one of the best tacos I've had. I'm vegan and just ask for no cheese on the veggie tacos their beans are to die for!! read more

This place is by far the BEST taco joint we've hit up since living in VA. As all of the other reviews have mentioned, it's the closest to CA tacos/burritos you can get in Northern VA and the prices are superb! This place is worth the 2 hour drive for us if we want to get authentic Mexican food. You won't be disappointed read more

The best every time we come to Virginia we stop and the consistency of the food is great the carnitas are the best but I have to say the street tacos carne Asada I have all the time the torta is pretty good to lol the best Mexican food I have had down south read more

Good place get an authentic, corn tortilla taco. I got the al-pastor taco, and a steak quesadilla. The tacos were well seasoned, but the meat was a little dry. Also I was a little disappointed that there was no pineapple in the taco (traditionally there is a slice of pineapple served with the taco). However the spicy salsa saved the day. Their spicy salsa had just the right amount of kick. Also their quesadilla was definitely a major hit. Again the steak was a tad bit dry, and a little bit on the salty side, but overall the quesadilla was super tasty. This is a great spot to go to when you're craving an authentic taco. Be sure to go on a nice day because there is only outside seating. read more

Tacos El Primo - Steak quesadilla and Al-Pastor tacos - Mexican Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

I ordered a variety of tacos - 12 total with 5 different kinds. the meat wasn't juicy enough for my taste but it's at great price for especially college students to enjoy good food. It was very cheap and of course the portions were small for each taco but I appreciate having two tortilla per taco. Nothing excellent, just a good place to eat for quick yummy bites. PS - 3 stars is GOOD. I don't really like giving out 5 stars unless it really blew me away. This didn't blow me away, but definitely recommend to anyone just craving some tacos. (Which is almost always in my case) read more

I found this Mexican food truck because I wanted to try the Korean food truck next to it that was closed. The carnitas tacos and chicken burrito were great. In addition, the sauce has a kick to it. It was overpoweringly spicy for me at times. Nevertheless, the carnitas tacos and chicken burrito were among the best Mexican food I have had anywhere. For this reason, I decided I needed to try more and ordered the al pastor and steak tacos. They were ok but not as good as previous two items I had.

Pretty good and authentic! Hit my taco craving without going back home to LA! Just remember to bring cash!

IMHO (and we've got access to some amazing Hispanic and Latin food here) these are the BEST 'street tacos' in town. My kids' favorite food truck as well! A little bit hard to access their lot during busy traffic but totally worth the wait. Great ' bang for your buck' on busy school/activity nights (bonus: just as quick and much fresher than fast food options). Carnitas Tacos, Pineapple Pork Tacos Salsa Verde Asada Tacos are a few of our faves. read more

Best carnitas quesadillas in Harrisonburg, maybe even in the world. Seriously, I can eat the quesadillas they make here for every meal. The rest of the food is great, but the carnitas quesadilla, at a solid $7, is just on another level. The man who runs the truck is always super nice! Food doesn't take that long and it's always consistently good. I just wish they accepted cards so I can order everything on the menu without having to worry if I had enough cash. I'll still gladly go the ATM to get cash for the food here, though. read more

The carnitas burrito is AMAZING! The chicken isn't the best and the tacos are kind of dry. The sauce and steak are also pretty good!

Went to Tacos El Primo for the first time today and everything exceeded expectations. By firs look, it's a small taco food truck that is easy to drive by... But don't! Stop by and give it a try. I ordered the chicken and pork tacos (5 tacos for $9). Not a bad deal and the flavors were outstanding! The pork was nice and tender, full of flavor, and juicy! The chicken tacos were great as well but my preference was the pork. The service was just as good as the food! Very friendly and helpful! Just don't forget to bring cash! read more

It's OK if you have to cut off a semi to get to the offramp, the food truck gods will forgive you double pronto. Well worth the very quick detour off the freeway only a minute off the exit. Tacos, burritos, tortas, & amazing quesadillas await. Everything in this truck is completely Mexican food legit street taco style. Cash only and for convenience there is a Carl's Jr. across the street for the bathroom (buy a cookie or something). Don't forget to ask for lime to squish all over your food. Enjoy! read more

The humble taco truck can be found across this great nation, from California to Florida, and from Texas to Minnesotta (I assume that Minnesotta has taco trucks, but have only personally visited them in California, Florida, and Texas). They generally offer a decent choice of options and dirt cheap prices, and the results are juicy, delicious, and covered in onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salsa. I tried the quessadilla, and two tacos, and found the tacos to be fairly average, but the quesadilla was impressive. It was as thin as a French crepe, crunchy, loaded with meat and cheese, and melt in your mouth delicious. This is a cash only establishment, with ample parking, and outdoor seating. read more

Most authentic Mexican tacos in Harrisonburg! The chicken tacos and chorizo tacos are my favorite. Ask for the spicy salsa, which is great on top of the tacos. 3 tacos is usually enough for me. There is some seating outside, but you can also do takeaway. The Mexican sodas are delicious and a great compliment to the tacos. Highly recommend! read more

Definitely best tacos in the area. Got a total of 5 tacos, 2 beef, 2 pork and 1 chorizo. The fried pork was by far the best. Only rated it 4 stars is because it was a little dry and meat portion was uneven. I would highly recommend. read more

The best taco truck hands down! I like the spicy pineapple pork tacos. They are nice and clean. Just leaving this review makes me want to head back for another tacos and glass bottle coke. read more

great tacos with an even better price! it is only cash or checks, so make sure you come prepared.

En route to drop my daughter off to college (NC to NYC) we stopped for gas and looked on Yelp for a snack. She wanted tacos and this lil joint popped up. This place was "hidden in the cut" - we literally almost drove past it. So glad we found it! Super amazing food - five tacos w/ carnitas for $7. Extra for cheese and queso Blanco. My daughter had a steak burrito. We added two Mexican sodas / came to $17.75. They only take cash so make sure you have some. But the flavor.... oh man! Wonderful homemade tortilla shells and sofrito. I will add this spot to our travel plans in the future. read more

Tacos El Primo - Carnitas (fried pork) tacos - so yummy!! - Mexican Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

I thought La Morena had the best tacos... but after doing a side by side taste test with the tacos here and the tacos there, Tacos El Primo wins. The steak tacos here has so much flavors! When paired with both the green and red sauce, the steak tacos had this smokey taste that I really liked. The price is also good. For 4 tacos it was $6, 6 tacos was $9.75, and 9 tacos was $14.25. I think portion wise, their tortilla is smaller than La Morena, but they give you a lot of meat! Their tortilla is also good! (Don't get me wrong, La Morena is still delicious!!! I just think each place is delicious in their own ways.) read more

This place is a must if you're in Harrisonburg. Fantastic food, delicious homemade salsa, and a wonderful staff make this place our regular stop in h-burg. Also wonderful vegetarian options at an affordable price. If you eat meat order the lingua, it is definitely the best thing on the menu read more

Best food truck in Harrisonburg! I usually get their chicken quesadilla- always amazing!

Best tacos and excellent prices. The only factor that keeps me from eating here more often is the difficulty getting in and out of the area from the often-congested Reservoir Street entrance. read more
