My best friend recommended the restaurant I was beyond pleased with great service and how delicious the food was! It truly was more than I had expected. The waitress was one of the best I have had in years! Also the California Burrito was AMAZING!!! -Morgan:) read more

Best quesabirria tacos I have ever had! They were wrapped with 2 shells but I understand because the meat was so juicy and I appreciated it because the the outer shell was crispy. Get the hot sauce to dip the tacos in and the consume is to die for! This food truck is serving up some legit authentic Mexican food! read more

Taqueria El Primo - Quesabirria Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

Got takeout from here tonight. The Birria tacos were the best I've ever had, hands-down. Not sure why other reviewers are saying they are closed but they were open. The tacos were substantial and had plenty of filling. The broth was solid and hearty, loads of flavor. Service was prompt and efficient, and with a smile!! read more

Our family of three was there on August 13th 2023. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our lunch along with the complimentary nachos. I would highly recommend this place and we will certainly be returning again in the future. read more

The best tacos in the Harrisonburg area. After being at JMU for a few weeks I was missing the traditional Mexican tacos I used to eat back home in Richmond. After researching a couple restaurants I found this taco truck and they are the best I've had so far truly authentic it makes me feel like I'm back home and all for a great price. read more

Taqueria El Primo - Pollo tacos - Mexican Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

This a truly authentic Mexican eatery. They have all the favorites, from tamales, to tacos, to burritos. The owners also operate a food truck nearby. All the food I've had from both locations have been awesome. I love their tacos and their burrito is one of the best-tasting and most-filling I've ever had. Don't mind the decor of this place as it is nowhere near fancy. Let the food speak for itself and your taste buds will thank you. The manager/owner here is a really nice lady as well. read more

I was super excited to visit Taqueria El Primo before my visit to JMU! I was confused about where I was supposed to enter the restaurant but a nice man told me it was actually the food truck in front of the restaurant that we should order at. My party and I ordered the California Burrito, Supreme Burrito, and the huaraches. CA Burrito w/ asada was good, but a little spicy. Supreme Burrito w/ campechanos was great, if you don't love beans I would ask for less beans or none at all because they are very generous with the beans. With both burritos, we noticed the rice was kind of mushy. Huaraches was slightly disappointing, I've never had masa, so I don't know what it's supposed to be like texture-wise, but it seemed like mine was soggy. Man serving the food was very kind! Overall good food and good people! read more

Great authentic street tacos with friendly service. Pastor had great flavors and asada wasn't dry. They didn't skimp on the amount of meat and Avocado salsa was a nice surprise. read more

Decided to try this restaurant based on the Yelp reviews- for us, it was average. We ordered the carnitas burrito, steak fajitas and enchilada dinner. For appetizers, we had a pork tamale and chips and salsa. Those were the best part of our visit- their homemade tortilla chips. It may have just been us, though, because they had multiple people in the restaurant area and their phone was ringing constantly for take out orders. read more

Had lunch here one day in the last month. Good stuff with nice Agua fresca. Food and service were very nice, I'll probably be back.

*Update*: the manager came out and made things right but the server was still rude and not friendly after the confusion. I'll go back cause the food is great and the margs are cheap Service is awful. Server brought out the wrong drink and blamed me saying that what I asked for. I also spoke with the owner a week ago and he said they had a special for JMU students for $1 tacos, the server is telling us that it doesn't exist and that I'm lying. This might just be bad wait staff but I am very unhappy with this visit with my last one being such a positive one. read more

Stopped here on a road trip and loved the food. I stopped becaue of yelp reviews and might have passed it by. We also missed it on the first pass. The owner was super nighe and he had a son who also helped. Very nice. We really enjoyed the food. The attitude of the owner was the best. So nice and friendly. I would stop again. read more

I've been to this food truck 4 times now and it keeps getting better and they hands down have the best food. The meat is perfect everytime and the rice and beans are perfect and their service is amazing. The salsa is fresh everytime. I've been addicted to just getting the carne asada quesadilla but I need to branch out next time I go which will definitely be ASAP. This place deserves 5 stars all around. read more

As other people said, it is definitely an authentic Mexican restaurant with fresh salsas and limes. I was extremely impressed with it! As soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted. Even when I was standing just there deciding what to eat - the employees were making sure I was being taken care of. They have pretty good prices for their food too! I got the 3 tacos (which you can choose different flavors for each) steak tacos, chorizo tacos, and spicy pork. My favorite was definitely the steak but it usually always ends up being the best for me. I also got a side of refried beans and that is a very large side so I didn't finish it all. I wish I was still in the Harrisonburg area to go here more but if you happen to be - come and try this place out! read more

Placed an order online, showed up to a food truck with the open sign on as it looked like they were renovating. No one was in the truck. Scammed out of $9. You guys fucking suck. read more

Great , friendly service and authentic Mexican food. The salsa bar is a great feature with fresh limes, radishes and multiple sauces. The spicy pork tacos and regular carnitas are delicious. Get an Aqua Fresca! I recommend the Mandarin. read more

I love this place! Great service and even better food. I recommend the tacos al pastor and elote for sure; I always come back!

So we found this place on Yelp. The reviews where good so we just had lunch here. The food is amazing, fresh and unique. If you like authentic Mexican this is the place to go. The quality of the food and the price is perfectly matched. We had huaraches with spicy pork, everything about this is wonderful, the cactus on it was perfectly done and we added pickled habanero which gave it the right amount of heat. This is a must go to place. read more

So friendly mikie the waiter !!! The food was excellent the service was fast and efficient

Absolutely amazing tacos. One of the most authentic Mexican places in town. I would come here everyday just to eat their amazing food. And they make some delicious margaritas. I like the vibe of the restaurant. Gives you a very authentic feel. Their taco truck is closer to the campus if you are not feeling the drive down south main. read more

Ordered takeout the other day, it was within an hour of closing and it seemed like they were getting started on that but the service and food were both great. Will definitely order again! read more

The best Mexican cuisine in all of the Shenandoah valley. The portions are very generous and the agua fresca is delicious!

Amazing authentic food. Fresh, fast, great service, large menu. Would highly recommend!

Great service, great food! Reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend. I will definitely plan on coming back to enjoy in the future.

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY. They will get lost and have you waiting outside and trying to give them directions for 30+ minutes. The food was decent. I ordered two chicken tacos and chips & queso. The tacos did not come with cheese which was unexpected and their queso tasted like nacho sauce out of a can, not authentic queso dip which I would have expected. Probably won't order from here again, it was less than great. read more

Only 4 stars bc we've only tried the tamales. Kids were craving some so I got 4 of each (chicken and pork) to go. I know tamales are simple, but these were simply delicious. Can't wait to go back and try more of their cooking. read more
