Great authentic Mexican food. friendly atmosphere.
If you havent gotten tacos from El Primo, you havent lived. This place is legit and the best Mexican food in town. My favorite is their pastor tacos. Make sure to buy their made-in-house salsa as well, because its delicious!
We had heard good things about the tacos and burritos here, and they did not disappoint.I had a steak taco and a pork, and both were equally delicious. Hubby had the steak burrito, which was HUGE and also very tasty. In addition, we had an order of rice and of beans both great additions to our meal.We will definitely be frequenting this place in the future. Cant wait until the weather cooperates to allow a bike ride there and a taco/burrito picnic at Cannery Square.
Amazing authentic Mexican food hands down! I can honestly say the menudo,carnitas,lengua,beans,rice, and salsa tasted like the food from my family in Bay City,Texas.
I absolutely love this place. Great food at a great price. My only wish is that they did fresh handmade tortillas to go along with their food.
Hands down my all time favorite Mexican joint for Sun Prairie and EVEN the MADISON Area! This place has a little grocery store along with the best food as well! We we struggling to find a true authentic Mexican joint and found it! We tried the Lengua Tacos, Ribeye Tacos both a la cart and had their amazing Steak Torta! All for one affordable price too! I honestly have nothing bad to say!I was reading some of the “1” star review and some one is opinionated based on their food preference (still don’t think they deserved a 1 Star) and the other review was just not acceptable... I find it funny how she commented saying the cashier quoted them wrong pricing (sorry we’re human) and then also mentioned that she didn’t have the best Grammar? .... yet nothing on the food... so please I hope you disregard their comment and honestly just try it for yourself. For those who live 30mins out, it’s worth the drive!I can’t wait to go back on the weekend to try their lamb taco and then also their slow cooked beef soup! I’m super excited! Still after a few hours of eating here I still have a smile on my face :)*support your local business owners!*
The real deal. If you’re looking for authentic and delicious Mexican food, this is it. Excellent steak tacos at $2.50 a piece - they are larger than average when it comes to size and MUCH larger than average when it comes to beef portion. The service is fast and friendly in back and up front.If it’s your first time, listen up. You order your food in the back, between the two counters. After you finish eating, ask for your check then take it up front to pay. After you walk out the door, turn around and go back in because you’re not going to find better tacos elsewhere.
Good food, prices are reasonable and great customer service!
Hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Sun Prairie. Also love the fact that I get fresh papaya every Wednesday too!
Love love love this place!! Best tacos and burritos around! Always filling and best prices! You are welcomed from the moment you walk in the door. And it feels like you are in Mexico too. Its a different world here but I like it because it takes my mind off what is going on on the outside of their business. They sell grocery items too from Mexico. Great place, atmosphere, and you should be going there right now!
Best food Ive had in a very long time . Reminds me of Cali Mexican food. Friendly service. More food then you need .
Nice hole-in-the-wall kind of place. Tortas as big as your head! And delicious too!
Fast service. Good food. They have Agua de Jamaica, if youve never had it, you should.
Delicious, authentic Mexican takeout. Will be returning.
Great taco joint, other good stuff there too
Wanted authentic mexican food and thats what I got. Walked into the place and right away was taken back to the little shops I visited in Mexico. Sat at the bar and immediately was helped. I ordered the steak chicken and chorizo tacos. You can see the cooks preparing your food right in front of you which is always fun and adds to the experience. Recieved the food quickly but if I had to wait an hour for it I wouldve. IT WAS AMAZING. Very simple but the flavor was outstanding. Added a little bit of their house hot sauce which made it even better. Definitely will be going back to try their other dishes.
Ive been here a couple of times. Food is excellent and service is too. Also, they dont use styrofoam. Good for you guys!
The best authentic mexican food in the area. Everything is delicious, the owner is extremely nice, and you wont be disappointed
I can’t believe I waited so long to stop in - the tacos were great! I’ll be back for sure.
Wonderful tacos! The beef tongue was amazing! Only a couple of tables FYI. No alcohol but great mexican drinks available from the cooler.
Delicious food, friendly staff.
Tacos and burritos are delicious. Try their salsas.
Very good tacos. Impressed with the flavor. I love supporting local small businesses.
A great place to try authentic Mexican tacos (try the tongue ones, they are so yummy!) and other plates (tortas, quesadillas, burritos). Food is amazing, portions are big and prices are fair. Dont forget to try the Torta de milanesa, a classic Mexico City chicken breaded sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and avocado. We havent try the weekend specials because they SOLD OUT very fast, next time we go there well try to make it before noon.
Awesome service, quick turnaround for food orders, and very friendly staff and owner. The food we ordered was fantastic. We have a lot of friends from South and Central America, so my kids have had some experience with food from those countries. They decided these were the best quesadillas theyd ever had, and that my burrito was as big as my head. It was, and it was excellent! We will definitely make this a regular spot for takeout
Amazing street tacos that are large and filling. Southern california quality, I highly recommend
The finest mexican food and groceries in the entire Madison area!
As usual delicious.
I think what the owner was trying to say is that there system would not quote me the wrong price but there system is a 20 year old Mexican woman, that excuse is almost as bad as the grammar, there are at least 5 other restaurants in less than 1/2 a square mile and I highly recommend that everyone tries those before considering this place *bonus tip* from the front door of this place you can actually see another Mexican restaurant that is borderline better that actually has seating for more than 5 people
Stopped in here for a quick lunch. It was delicious! 2.50 for a steak taco. They’re good size - two was enough to fill me up. Fast and friendly service! Would definitely come back if in the area again.
Loved their barbacoa tacos and the steak tortas. Very friendly guys...
The best tacos & burritos of Wisconsin
The best in town.
ABSOLUTELY no one compares to El Primo. Food here is always amazing.
Have the best tacos
Fantastic little place! There is a small store at the front with groceries and ingredients and a few tables to sit and eat. I always order to go. The food is so delicious and the prices are very fair. Highly recommended!
Great place...The food is very tasty.....You can find a great variety of Mexican sweets
Most authentic Mexican around! Delicious options. The weekend specials (such as barbacoa) sell out early, by 1pm on a Saturday theyre gone, so plan to get there early if you want those! Luckily everything on the regular menu is great, so there are always good choices.
This place is no doubt one of the best place in the region. Whenever I go there I am remarkably satisfied. They hold their high level service and the highest level of cooking they serve. You can never go wrong with this place. Warmly recommended.
Good food
I ordered a pork burrito. It was amazing, the meat is phenomenal. I dont know for sure but it is not the usual slow cooked pork that I am used to, but made to order. Large portions and friendly staff. And I will go back for more of that amazing pork!!
I love coming here for my lunch break! Always delicious. Made right in front of me and the staff is always nice. My favorite place to eat in sun prairie.
Wonderful, Wonderful food. If you go away hungry, its your fault. Big portions, and great flavors. Im glad I dont live closer. Id be really huge. LOL
No frills tacos and gigantic burritos, made with fresh ingredients in front of you, great salsa, nice people... Its tempting to stop cooking for myself altogether with this place so close. Come early Saturdays for specialty tacos and different kinds of meat -- it sells out super fast on weekends tho so forreal, come early.
5 stars for price and authenticity, 3 stars for taste. Would I go back? Yes, because of the price for what you get. The problem was that the burrito lacked bold flavor and “wet” ingredients. Was just a little dry and not super flavorful. Would rather go across the street to Guimo’s and pay another $3 for the better burrito.
Outstanding tacos.
Very good steak tacos
Their steak taco is my favorite. Highly recommend.
Went for Burritos and was not disappointed! The burritos are huge and delicious! Very friendly staff. Excellent store/restaurant. Will definitely come back again!
Great place!!!
Great tacos and burritos of many kinds. Very fresh food and very good. I go there for lunch a couple times/month. And they sometimes have avocados about half as big as your head!
It doesnt get any better.
This place is awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I loved the grocery section as well. Great prices.
I come here every Tuesday and get tacos. They are out of this world. Best tacos around hands down. 3 Steak tacos with onion, cilantro, squeeze the lime on, salt, and the red sauce...most bomb taco you will ever have. All there other food is good aswell. Price and portions.
This is my go-to spot for burritos. The shop itself is a little disorganized but very friendly staff and outstanding authentic Mexican food. Reasonable pricing too.
Best Mexican food in the Madison area, bar none. Super friendly service too!
Hands down best underrated restaurant around. Foods great service is great. If youre going anywhere else youre going to the wrong place.
Awesome, I thought I was in San Diego when I tasted this. It reminds me of Labambas when it was on State Street in Madison.
Oh oh oh its magic u knoooww
Massive burritos made to order. A meat counter. I havent been to a better Mexican place in the area.
Ordered the steak burrito with everything let me say this, its good that whole burrito was delicious best one in town! I say drop into this place if you need some quick cuts, or marinated meat lol! Or a bite to eat, maybe not a traditional restaurant but I dont care the food was good! Great setup! The aroma of the food and I knew this place was legit! YUM!!!
Food always taste good...the place is to small...
Best lengua tacos in town.
Great food, tiny space to eat, is better to take out....decent price...a bunch other stuff for sale.
Excellent quality and service!
Small, not fancy and very little seating. However, the food is great and staff are very nice. The food seems authentic compared to standard American-Mexican restaurants.
Great food, not many tables but take out is very good....
I grew up going to Mexico a lot, so I consider myself an authentic taco expert of a sort. With that said, these are the best tacos Ive had outside of Mexico. Not only that, but the ambiance of the place is exactly what you want out of a great taqueria.
Authentic mexican food! What more is there to say? Ever since I moved from Texas, this is the closest taste to quality Mexican food if had here and it just reminds me of home.
My first time ordering here, I came based on the reviews. El Primo does not disappoint! I had two tacos, 1 Pastor (Pork) and 1 Chorizo. Added cheese and avocado. Excellent flavor and LOADS of meat! At 2.50 each (plus .50 for avocado & cheese), this is steal! More than full when I left. I wish they had the carnitas during the week, though!
Such a good taco spot. Tacos are stuffed and everything including the beans and rice were well seasoned and fresh.
This is the best place ever! Such great food. Amazing prices. Must go!
Ignore the people that say its average, they are just the 1% that needs to always complain. This is a grocery store with a grill in the back so dont expect a restaurant, but the food and service is a huge value for the price. My girlfriend and I eat here whenever we can and its the best Mexican food youll find in the area (we too have gone around). Plus the staff is super friendly and always in a good mood. Definitely a hidden gem in SP
Authentic as it gets
Love this place! I recommend this to everyone looking for an authentic meal in Sun Prairie.
Great food, big portions at very friendly price. I am recommending this place to family and friends.
Awesome authentic Tacos and other authentic mexican products in the store. Food is really good, just a couple tables and a few seats at the counter. Tacos were $2-$3 each. I tried eating 4 which was too much food. I had 2 Chorizo, a steak, and beef tongue, all were awesome. Topped with a heap of the authentic toppings (onions and cilantro, with a lime on the side) unbelievably good! Also picked up a 6 pack of Victoria beer, which I struggle to find anywhere, to take home.
OMG OMG OMGThe best place to eat in SunPrairie Hands downOMG OMG OMG they good is just so delicious an the price is very fairI love El Pimos 😀😀😃
Probably the best burrito I’ve ever had🌯
Spot on taste of food with great environment to be welcome while eating there or shopping.👍👍
The burritos here are phenomenal, large enough for two servings and still come at a very reasonable price point. Definitely busy over lunch on most days, but totally worth the wait.
Great food, wonderful people, and seriously good prices. Ill skip taco Bell every time for this place, easy
Authentic. Very good food. Best tacos Ive found in WI. Highly recommended.
Sweet
Delicious and budget friendly
Excellent choice if youre looking for a authentic Mexican
Best chorizo in the madison area. Always fresh as in this place cuts and seasons their meat in house. This is the stop for true tacos and a perfect torta.
This place is beyond amazing. Lived in California for the last 15 years and moving back to Wisconsin had me wondering where to find authentic Hispanic food. Well I found it.... wanted to cry it was so good.You guys are awesome!!!
Best Mexican Food in a hundred mile radius - HANDS DOWN. I lived on the border to Tijuana for 10 years and know what Im talking about.
Love this place. Small and kind of unknown for tacos, but give it a chance. I like to pick up unique mexican candies or snacks when I am there.
