Los Primos Tacos & More — Restaurant in Dallas

Los Primos Tacos & More – Burrito Bliss in a Sea of Fence Trucks

Listen, do yourself a favor: skip that conference hotel’s $40 buffet—yeah, the one with sad waffle stations and scrambled eggs poured straight from a vacuum-sealed bag. Instead, get off the beaten path and into the flavor zone at Los Primos Tacos & More, tucked into a light industrial stretch off Irving Blvd.

When we pulled up, the street and lot were packed bumper-to-bumper with fence company trucks and their hungry crew. Honestly, I think they had enough materials and manpower on hand to fortify all of Love Field. Always a good sign.

Inside, it’s clean, simple counter service, run by a friendly guy who could sell tacos or world peace with that smile. And before you even glance at the menu, your eyes will be drawn to the row of six agua fresca dispensers like a beacon from a higher, thirstier power. Coffee? Please. I grabbed a 32oz horchata—perfectly cinnamon-y, cold, and not too sweet. Basically a hug in a cup.

I was here for one thing: the breakfast burrito. Yes, technically more of a Tex-Mex creation, but Los Primos gives it full Mexican soul. A warm flour tortilla cradling eggs, beans, and cheese—and I added chorizo and potatoes because I love myself.

Then came the surprise: a cup of warm, savory noodle soup. Never had it before at a breakfast joint, but it was simple, comforting, and oddly magical—like your abuela knew you had a long day ahead.

Moments later, our burritos arrived, and the table fell into a reverent silence—like a curtain dropping before a stage show. We were locked in, fully committed. No crumbs left behind. Flavors enhanced with two gasolina house made salsas.

So satisfying, I didn’t even think about food again until dinner. And while I came for the burrito, they’ve got legit options like chilaquiles and machacado for next time.

Great food. Great people. Great horchata....

Update to my review in a quick way: 👀 Get everything but the tacos 🧀 If you get the tacos get them costra style (melted cheese, crunchy almost crust style) 👎 avoid the red dye potato tacos 🍍 Their aguas frescas are different now. I miss the cantaloupe from before. Get pineapple if you must get an agua.

If you’re on the hunt for authentic Monterrey-style chicharrones (meaty and tender, not the crunchy kind), this spot is a must-visit! While it’s not quite on the level of the famous Carnes Ramos in Mexico, it’s the closest you’ll find in the Dallas area, and everything we tried was delicious.

The green bottled salsa, “Verde que te quiero verde,” was a standout—an amazing touch! However, the included tomatillo salsa for the chicharrón taco was a bit underwhelming.

The aguas frescas were a highlight, especially the watermelon and cantaloupe flavors. If you can’t decide, don’t hesitate to ask for a sample.

We were too full to try anything else this time, but next visit, we’re definitely going for the enormous quesadillas and those tempting desserts.

Bonus: the complimentary starter soup (sopa de fideo) was excellent! Pro tip: save the soup then add a slice of avocado from your entree plate for an extra boost of flavor.

After your meal, you’ll definitely want to take home a pound of chicharrones. Just be sure to ask for a different salsa if tomatillo isn’t...
