Taqueria El primo — Restaurant in Minneapolis

A cute, hidden taco truck on the corner of Lake Street and Blaisdell. There are lots of parking spaces, but it can get full quickly as it is shared with folks using or going to other establishments around the area. I went around the golden hour (evening), and ordered asada (steak), pastor (marinated pork), and carnitas (pulled pork) tacos. Although somewhat busy, my order was made and ready in 5 minutes. The staff were very friendly and patience with my order. I need to polish my Spanish (note, they do speak English).

The tacos were of good large portions. You can literally make one into two serving as each taco comes with two soft layers. These came with two different sauce, red and green, and they were very complimentary to the tacos. The meat were slightly dry, and tastefully mediocre. The sauce did add a good spicy touch and additional heat to the tacos. Our favorite was the pastor as you can taste more of the flavors and juiciness of the meat.

We will return to try the tacos again and...

This is my go to taco place. I even picked up tacos from here for my birthday because I love them so much! I lived in Guanajuato, Mexico for 5 years and can say the tacos and salsas here are authentic and delicious. I especially reccomend the pastor and asada tacos. They don't skimp on meat, verduras or salsas, and the tortillas don't fall apart while you're eating like they do at some other places I've been to....

I would recommend to anyone unless you’re soulless and only eat potatoes, and maybe then I’d even still recommend.

Great tacos, everyone was friendly. Plenty of parking. Tacos were ready quickly. Just five stars. Thanks!

Note- I had one of each: asada, pollo, carnitas, pastor. All were excellent- topped with cilantro and onion served on a corn tortilla. Salsas we’re spicy and verde. Both...
