El Primo # 1 Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in South Carolina

This is a must visit Restaurante! You won’t be disappointed! Absolutely amazing food, very fresh tasting and the plating presentation was picture worthy! And besides it being one of the best tasting Chori Pollo plates I’ve ever had, The portion was very generous for the low price! Immaculately clean restaurant and the staff were very friendly, inviting and attentive! My daughter and I pulled into the parking lot at 10 minutes till 10 PM, and the open sign was still on, but I hate going into establishments at the last minute. As we pulled up, one of the waitresses waved to us from inside the restaurant, and Inviting us to come in and eat. They had already mopped one side of the restaurant and put the chairs up on the table, but still invited us to come and sit down and enjoy our dinner. They did not rush us, and they showed such hospitality the entire visit. Out of courtesy we ordered quickly and were prepared to eat quickly, but the waitress assured us that it was OK and we were welcome to take our time. The food came out several minutes later, very hot and very fresh, and looked amazing, and it did not disappoint! At no point did we feel rushed or that we were even inconveniencing them, as they were so attentive to us. Being the only patrons in the restaurant, we did feel bad and ate quickly, but it was still very satisfying and an amazing A+ + experience. Thank you to the staff and the cooks for a great evening. We will be back, and we will tell everyone we know to try...

I rarely take the time to leave a positive review, but I just had to for this restaurant. My husband and I have been going here for years (since it was El Agave). The owner is friendly, the staff is great and attentive, and the food is delicious. I have never walked out disappointed. I typically order the Fajitas Nachos with steak, but recently began ordering a new menu item called the California Nachos with steak. The steak is incredibly flavorful and tender, and the grilled veggies are just as delicious! If you want Mexican food in the Duncan area, this is the place to go. It's worth the drive from Spartanburg or...

If I could give zero I would. Lady with the fake eyelashes big and a face full of makeup staying having an attitude! (i love Juanita, she is really good in customer service) !! I asked for a dish made with other chicken and it was a pork tasting. I immediately asked is it chicken and they said it was pulled chicken but it didn’t even taste like that.. I’ve ordered from here since 2022 and have had zero problems with this dish and never asked for specific instructions… It was different this time and was stressing to her and she caught an attitude.. saying “we should have said something, she doesn’t know what we ordered last time” i gave her back to plate and just told her to leave cause her attitude from the start was...
