TACOS EL PRIMO — Restaurant in Garland

One of THE BEST tacos in Dallas! Give them a try and see why they are a growing fan favorite to locals!! This is a locally owned, small family business.

Tacos are $2-$2.25 for corn tortilla and around $3 for flour (but it’s a bigger tortilla with more meat!). Meats offered are: Pastor, Bistek (steak beef), Pollo (Chicken), Birria (stew beef), brisket, Lengua (Beef Tongue), Nopales (cactus), Chicharron en salsa (pork), Chorizo (chopped pork), Campachanos (Mixed meat beef and pork), Suadero (belly of cow OR pork)

I tried pollo, bistek, birria, and brisket and they were all AMAZING. But my favorites are definitely the birria and brisket which had the most juiciest flavorful meats I’ve had in a taco in a long time. Served with limes, salsa, raw onions, and cilantros!

I also tried their Quesobirria plate which was $10.25 which included 3 tacos made to cheesy queso perfection and served with rice and beans, limes, salsa, onions and cilantros…and best of all their signature consommé. This is such a great meal deal that will leave you feeling satisfied. Their quesobirria is ridiculously tasty that I’m already craving it again. I was actually recommended to get this item when I was looking at the menu from another customer who raved about how good it was. I’m telling you, this did not disappoint!!

RED AND GREEN SALSA IS SPICY HOT Not for the faint of heart, this salsa is no joke and the perfect heat for your mouth - even in the summer, but don’t say I didn’t warn you! The red is supposed to be spicier according to the owner.

Other Menu Items: Tortas, Burros, Quesadillas, and Gorditas You can add rice and beans for $1.50 each! The rice even has some pieces of carrots which is delightful addition.

They also sell Drinks (Aguas Fresca) with flavors such as Watermelon (Sandia), Melon, Lemon, Hibiscus (Jamaica), Horchata (Cinammon sweet Milk), Tamarindo, Pina Not all flavors offered at the same time as they switch them out. I tried Watermelon and it tasted delicious and had little pieces of fruit in it too which was nice. Their Regular or Small cup is only $2!! The large cup is $4

They also do catering. Where they come to your event with a full setup and can provide up to three tacos, quesadillas, salsa, onions + cilantros, 2 aguas fresca for your group. They have already catered several events and their trompo has been a huge hit. Currently located in the Exxon gas station parking lot on the corner of Broadway Blvd and Oates Drive in Garland, TX. 5 mins from I-635 and 5 mins from I-30 across the street from the Garland Post Office and South Garland Library branch. They have a small covered seating area in front of their truck where you can sit and eat or enjoy in your car.

This is a great business to support as they are hoping to open their own storefront. ...

I always passed them up in the year or so I've been here. Big regret! Wish I had tried them out sooner. One day I was feeling adventurous and visited with my 5 year olds. My kids ordered Tacos de Lengua and Quesabirrias with consome. My babies absolutely love it. I absolutely loved it. 🤤 In another occasion, my kids had the chicken torta with everything in it and they gave it a 10/10. I then brought my husband who had the gorditas de nopal and shortly after I put my sister on cause their food is soooo good. The people there are always so...

Good and affordable. Taste was good, just didn't like how the Gorditas were falling apart. Only one was actually assembled correctly so that the food wasn't falling out. The other two were slit all the way open not like a pocket and tortilla was breaking up, you can kind of see in the picture I posted. This was my first visit and I hope that they were just moving too fast. I will try one more time and see if the Gorditas hold together better next time because I think it's a...
