Taqueria Los Primos - Tamales verdes - Mexican Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

I grabbed tamales from here recently and they were okay, but not as good as I had hoped. The employees were very sweet but I had high hopes for the tamales and they were quite bland and I've had much better tamales than there at a few other spots nearby. read more

Taqueria Los Primos - Menu. The food is authentic and amazing!! - Mexican Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Haven't been here in years. Remember my parents taking me here as a teenager. Anyhow my mother wanted some menudo, figured I would order from here. I purchased 3 menudos @$17 each which includes handmade tortillas (3) cilantro, cebolla & onions on the side. Plus homemade hot sauce. I also included a steak torta $11 & 4 chorizo tacos @ $4 each. My total was $78 they charge a fee when using a card so then my total was $80. I don't mind paying for high priced food at all. But what I do mind is the customer service. it was HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. mean ass donas. If you are having a bad day don't take it out on happy paying customers. That's how you loose business. As I was paying I asked if they could give me a side of additional cilantro and onions as I seen they only had bagged one. Mind you I ordered THREE MENUDOS. & when I had placed my order I had mentioned it to the person taking my order that one of the menudos was going to someone else (meaning two different locations. The ladies meaning two. One was bagging orders while the other one was taking the payments and both answered no loudly. I looked at them shocked and confused. That I should have mentioned it when placing the orders. Because I did. I didn't want to argue to be honest so I pleaded with the lady and told her I would next time. But the communication is horrible amongst staff and the way they talked to me was so rudely. Hasta quería llorar por la forma que me hablaron las donas. Y ay que decir la verdad la comida no está ni tan buena. Nomas porque las tortillas son echas a mano si no ni pa que porque la forma de tratar al cliente es horrible. Y que mal. Y feo. read more

If you go on weekends be prepared to wait. This place gets busy. It is a small restaurant, but you know if it gets that crowed the food must be good, and it is. I had Pastor taco, steak taco, and chorizo and huevo taco. They make the corn tortillas right there. My friend had lengua tacos and tripe tacos, he said they were good too. I also had a tamale, delicious. It didn't make it to 5 stars because it is to small of a place. read more

Real hand-made tortilla which is totally atypical to find at a Mexican food restaurant, salsas "the heart of the taco" are magnificent! But still not "mild" lovers, good "carne asada"... Small place, get easily crowded but worth every minute you wait for the real Mexican food. read more

With some reservation, I decided to stop in Taqueria Los Primos and try it. As soon as I was walked in, I was standing right next to the counter where the cook is frying up the ingredients that go inside the tacos on a griddle. It was a gray over cast day and I noticed some patrons eating big bowls of soup. They only have two kinds of soup Menudo (no thanks) and some kind of pozole soup that is only offered two days out of the week. With that in mind, I decided to only try the tacos. I ordered a chorizo, beef, and pastor (pork) taco. The women told me uno momento and before I knew it, my order was ready. The tacos come with an OUTSTANDING salsa verde, a lime, red and white onions, and cilantro. I tried the chorizo taco first and it was OUTSTANDING! The chorizo had great flavor and a little bit of heat. The tortillas where cooked over a griddle and were great! Next, I tried the beef taco. This taco was not what I expected. The beef resembled the beef that is used on a cheese steak. It was cut up into small, thin pieces. I was a little skeptical and thought the taco would be bland, but I was wrong. The beef taco had a nice flavor. My final taco left was the pastor. Again, did not look the way I expected it. The pastor was cut into tiny bits and many of the pieces were over cooked. The pieces that where not hard and crunchy had a nice taste. This was my least favorite of the three, but it was still tasty. Overall, I was blown away with how great their tacos tasted. They speak very little to no English. If you are use to frequenting places that speak little English, you will not feel out of your comfort zone. For those who are not use to it, don't worry about it. You will make out fine. I plan to make many more trips for their tasty tacos in the future. read more

Ok, but a little bit expensive Also they take to long to serve the food. Parking space always crowd by other store customers read more

Forget about the ambience. If you are looking for authentic mexican tacos, menudo and quesadillas, this is the place to go. If your one who is not too picky about restaurant appearances this is the place to go in the Wilmington, DE area. They have a nice selection of soft tacos from bistek, lengua, al pastor, tripa and my favorite... chorizo! Those of you who are like Tex-Mex stuff may want to go to a chain resto, this is the real thing. The people who run the place do not speak English that well. Nevertheless, when you see that there are a lot of hispanics frequenting the joint, you know the food must be authentic and good. read more

I LOVE this place! Hands down, the best authentic Mexican I've had around here! I make special trips there solely for their chorizo torta. It is heavenly. My daughter loves their tamales. True, the staff doesn't speak much English, but most of the other patrons are bilingual and friendly, and don't mind translating. read more

Best hidden gem. I always get chorizo and egg. The tortillas are fresh and handmade. I think they make all the difference. ~Lauren read more

Awesome Mexican food. Home made salsa and chips were great. Just the right amount of spice and the chips seemed fresh and not cheap. Chicken quesadillas had great flavor and spice. Just the right amount of cheese, not overly cheesy like some other Mexican joints. Only slight negative is the quesadilla and enchiladas were a little salty. Place was empty for lunch on Saturday so I wonder if this is one of those hidden gems. read more

THE BEST place to get tacos in the Pennsylvania Delaware area. I'm born in Mexico raised in Kennett square PA and I drive to this spot to get my fix. If you are looking to avoid crowds go during the week because on the weekend it's packed and you may have to share a table with someone. But the food is so good and authentic that it's worth going regardless of the day. Even on a busy day the service is fast and it's all fresh and handmade. When you order they bring out a tray cilantro, assorted onions, salsas and limes all in molcajetes. Any order that comes with tortillas will be served with warm freshly handmade tortillas. It's to die for, I highly recommend. read more

Taqueria Los Primos - Mexican Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

They don't have much more that tacos on the menu here, with soups and tamales on the weekends, but the tacos made on fresh hand made tortillas alone are worth the trip. Each tortilla starts as a ball of masa is pulled from a large mound and is formed by hand after your order is placed. It is then hand pressed individually on a wooden tortilla press and cooked on a small griddle that can handle just a few tortillas at a time. There are only about 6 or so kinds of tortillas and some of them truly parts of the traditional Mexican diet - like the tripe and lengua (tongue). The order of tacos is accompanied by chopped onions, cilantro, lime slices and homemade salsa verde (green) and salsa roja (red), as is typical of taquerias like this. The salsas are very good as are the meats my partner and I tried. But the best part is the totally fresh, hand made tortillas. I also had a couple of tamales and they were quite good. I'd order them again and I am particular about tamales. I discovered this place by accident when going to look at a used car for sale at a shop about 1/4 mile from the intersection where the Taqueria is located. My partner and I made up a day trip for one Saturday primarily to have an excuse for her to go try the hand made tortillas. Other than our conversations, I didn't hear a word of English while we were there. The place was full of Mexicans - both groups of adults and whole families - all of whom appeared to be regulars enjoying their food greatly. My partner says she would drive back up from Baltimore just to go there again. Almost anyway as we are going to combine our next trip with a visit to the Delaware Art Museum to see the Botero exhibit featuring the works of a famous Columbian artist thru early June 08. I cook a lot of Mexican food based on the most authentic English language cookbooks and eat at small places like this on in the Baltimore / DC area. Nothing fancy but real authentic Mexican food. In addition, there is a Mexican ice cream / sorbet shop next door. We tried three things and they were great. All of their products were also made at the shop. read more

Our favorite taco shop with homemade tortillas, tamales, we love the Tacos Pastor, Lengua, Carnitas. Can get pretty crowded on weekend.

Stopped by based on Yelp reviews. Problem 1 NOBODY and I do mean nobody spoke a word of english. Couldn't get an answer to, "Do you have hard tacos?" Finally resorted to pointing at the menu items. Got 1 charizo and 1 steak taco. They just spooned meat on a soft flour tortia and wrapped it up. The steak was not season at all not even salt and pepper. They included a foil wrap of diced onions and cilantro and a plastic shot glass of a green sauce. Overall not what I hoped for. Not going back. read more

This place is so authentic, we've based a lunch taco club around this place. Many of the local chef's (and some not local) make the trek over for lunch. I've got a client in Mexico again, and I tell you with all honesty, this is authentic. Like I said, forget English, and forget take out. Remember, simple taco's are about the sides. Pile on the sauce, onions, and cilantro! read more

Finally an authentic Mexican taqueria! You know you're in the right place when it's packed with the locals. Hard to get a table on the weekends. Menu is small, prices are average, the tacos are packed with meat, but the star here are the handmade corn tortillas. Walking into this place I felt like I was back in Mexico visiting family. I would've given them 5 stars but one of the ladies there was rude when I asked for a fork. She said,"they're tacos. You don't eat them with a fork." Well duh, but I use it to pick up all the meat that spills out of the taco. Whatever. Not a fancy place but food is good. read more

So so good! It's great to have an authentic mexican taco. Everything is so fresh and the atmosphere is really great. very refreshing and a great experience. read more

Best mexican food ever ! I went with my family on a Sunday and it was very crowded but the food is so worth being rushed out of our seats.I got the quesadillas de chorizo and they were to die for. They give you a platter with onions,cilantro ,and salsas so you can put as much as you want on your food. Oh did I mention they actually serve homemade tortillas ? Most other places might claim they are homemade but here you can actually see them being made. It also might be a little uncomfortable if you don't speak Spanish but since I do I had no problems. If your looking for a place with a calm environment this isn't it but the food hands down deserves five stars alone. read more

Great tacos. I came here after seeing this place on a visit to the paleteria next door, and I wanted to stop by. I came around noon on Sunday, which was a bad idea since the place was hopping, and I had to get my tacos to go. First thing you should know is that you'll probably feel uncomfortable here if you don't speak Spanish. Don't worry. Just relax and pretend that you're on vacation and take a look at the menu. It's pretty small compared to most places, but if you know anything about Mexican food, you'll do okay. They mostly have tacos, tortas, quesadillas, tamales, and menudo here, although with a few more things like daily specials and such. I ordered the pastor (marinated pork), lengua (hehehe, if you don't know, you don't know), and tripa. The pastor left much to be desired, especially if you've had really great al pastor before. The tripa was okay, but it wasn't what I was expecting. This was the first time I've had tripe tacos, and I didn't realize it would be breaded and crispy. It was good, but probably not to my preference. The lengua, however, was great. It's one of my favorite (real) taco meats, and it was flavorful and tender. They also had chorizo and bistek that I didn't get to try on this visit, but I'll definitely be back for the lengua tacos and to try some of the other menu items. This place is a cash-only type of place. The back cooler is filled with the typical taqueria drink offerings. I'd recommend the sidral mundet, which is an apple flavored soda from Mexico. After you're finished eating, you can easily head over to the paleteria next door for some excellent dessert. read more

The most authentic Latin food place I have been to in Delaware. This really truly is a gem. It is a small menu but it is all they need. Everything is delicious and very inexpensive. Not to mention the service is super friendly and you can order in either Spanish or English. And I love how you get a big try of condiments. Definitely my new favorite! read more

Reading through previous reviews, I can only question with a good heart those who may consider this a place to know and enjoy real Mexican food. I was born and raised in Mexico City. This joint is as Mexican as McDonald's may be the American flagship for hamburgers. read more

You simply can't find a better Mexican place in Wilmington. It's delicious and inexpensive. Bring $20 cash, and you'll have enough left over to visit their other company, the ice cream place next door (Paleteria y Neveria Tocumbo) for a paleta. I highly recommend both of these establishments! read more
