El Primo Taqueria — Restaurant in Columbus

What a let down. Not a true taqueria. I ordered Asada tacos. The protein was already cooked in a container so it was not hot. I figured they would give it one last toss on the hot grill to get it warmed up and crispy but nope, they pulled a tortilla out and lightly warmed it up on their VERY CLEAN stove top. If making fast food is their priority they dont deserve to be called a Taqueria. I would GLADLY wait 5-20 mins for fresh hot tacos off the grill.

The steak was lacking flavor must be a cheap cut or it just plain needs more seasoning. The tortillas are too thick. The tacos are how ever well served with lots of protein. Once the taco was fully dresses with its respected Salsa (not spicy at all) and took a bite…. disappointing. Too much unseasoned meat, with a thick dry luke warm tortilla - bite. Mexigrill off hamilton has better asada tacos. I have also had their churos…. Those were piping hot and fresh.

Service was great...

Service was friendly and the location is nice for some food by the riverwalk on a sunny day. But....Ordered two carne asada burritos and four pastor tacos. Unfortunately it was all really dry.

Burritos were mostly rice with a little dry carne and the tiniest piece of cheese. No beans. Overpriced for what you get. The place seemed to get a lot of business though so maybe we just had a bad run. I'd say give it a shot though and see...

Try their Quesabirria if you try anything here, out of all the places in the Phenix City and Columbus area that I could find birria, this place has the best Quesabirria tacos and pizza hands down. I’ve tried every other place nearby that has Birria and I will always come here as my go to. If they run out of Birria then getting their Carne Asada Quesadillas or Burritos are also a must. Food is worth the price in my opinion, but it is a bit pricey if you are expecting cheap food. Seating is limited depending on how busy this place is, but 9/10 times I get this food and...
