Barbacoa Los Primos - Tacos al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Este lugar pasó de ser uno de mis favoritos a convertirse en una gran decepción. Hace unos meses el menudo tenía muy buen sabor, pero últimamente está demasiado salado y el sabor ha cambiado bastante en comparación con cuando recién abrieron. Los precios están exageradamente altos para la calidad de la comida. Hoy me sorprendió pagar $20 por dos burritos de barbacoa; pensé que serían bien servidos, pero en realidad son de tamaño común. Hay otros lugares con mejor sabor y precios más justos. Lamentablemente, ya no vale la pena. read more

Barbacoa Los Primos - Barbacoa Burrito - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Food is really good. They do have have horrible customer service. Reason is they are understaffed during peak hours. You have to wait a long time to get your order. The cashier is overwhelmed with transactions and dealing with money and then serving you the drinks. They don't have a good system to get your order and then find you to get it to you. I did wait over 30 minutes for a torta and a menudo. read more

Barbacoa Los Primos - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Barbacoa in the name is why I went there. Sad to say I won't be back though. Special of the day 6 tacos for price of 4 sounded good but tacos had VERY LITTLE meat like a taco bell taco. I coulda put them all in o e taco and for $11 taco for 1 tacos worth is not worth it. Plus got a Mexican coke and TOLD I can not leave with the bottle, WTFFFFFF I paid for it but can't take it. You wanted to put the remaining soda in a cup for me to take. No thank you. I so wish I had a pic to show but forgot to take one since I was complaining to my coworker about them read more

Hands down the BEST barbacoa in town! No fat at all and I love the quotes on the walls. read more

See all

Ok. I've been eating barbacoa since I was 6 years old. Our family used to buy it from a person who sold it out of the back of their house in San Antonio, TX. Los Primos has beat that hands down. read more

Food was decent and the place was nice and clean. My only issue was that it was stupid pricey. We had 3 burritos, a coffee and bottle water and it was like $30. The burritos were $9 and claimed to be big, but on the contrary it was a regular sized tortilla with light meat. My tortilla was also toasted instead of just warmed. I was limited on time so I ate quick and left, but yeah! Too pricey, even for the west side. read more

I came here for the first time. I used yelp to help me find this place since I was visiting family. The food was awesome, the burritos where my favorite over the tacos. I'm not saying the tacos weren't good they were great. Just a flour over corn kinda of guy. Everyone in the family was bragging about how good the food was. I definitely recommend you visit. read more

Had menudo and Barbacoa. Barbacoa didn't have seasoning and tasted too gamey. The Menudo was pretty much the same. No spice or flavor. It was very clean and equal amounts of tripe and hominy, but had no seasoning or spice. read more

This place is cute. Has friendly staff and a family feel. They do one thing, barbacoa... and they do it right! It's our favorite place to stop and grab lunch. The tacos and gordita are perfection. Stop by and support this business, you will not be disappointed. read more

While still practicing social distance had to attend a funeral of a close family member so stopped for some take out for lunch after hearing how good the food was here. Disappointing; starting with the lack of customer service showed by the cashier, prince for quality and the extremely long wait especially since due to the pandemic there were no tables for them to wait on, only to-go orders. We ordered 4 tacos of "asada", 4 of "buche" and 2 "barbacoa" burritos for a total of $27.86; I found it a bit pricey but I thought would be worth it if the recommendations were right. The barbacoa was pretty decent, however the buche was not tasty, and the asada had just a hint of the Smokey flavor you expect, but was neither tender nor seasoned well. All in all, even if in that area, I won't be going again. read more

Barbacoa Los Primos - The best Barbacoa in town! Really flavorful and moist. Just made fresh taste. Not greasy or oily at all. Homemade tortillas and salsa! - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Friendly staff! And lean and tasty barbacoa burritos! Spicy salsa but flavorful. I've eaten there twice and plan to go back.

Very simple, yet perfection for barbacoa. My wife and daughter had tacos and I had the gordita. The sauces were phenomenal, the green had amazing flavor and the red brought the heat. The meat is not greasy at all, tender and flavorful. Highly recommend! read more

Great barbacoa!!! Fast and good food. Never a bad experience there! Take cards, cash, etc.

One of the best barbacha spots in El Paso. Generous portions and great taste. I first discovered this spot while running a FAVOR and from that point on it's been my go to spot for barbacoa. read more

The restaurant itself is small and decorated with words I've seen by fellow tweeters. Witty and smart. Not only were the tacos pricey, the barbacoa was tasteless. My mother ordered a torta de barbacoa and she was given just that. The bread and the barbacoa. With the barbacoa being so bland, you'd think they'd actually prepare the torta with toppings but we were left to our own devices and headed to their toppings bar. Not much to choose from. One of their salsas was extremely salty which normally would be a really bad thing but since the barbacoa has no flavor, I couldn't complain. It doesn't matter what time I drive by, this place is always empty. One thing I always say though, try it for yourself and form your own opinion. We tried it once and once was good enough for us. read more

I was really pleased with my order today. I had the barbacoa tacos. The meat was tender and flavorful. The tortillas were so fresh tasting. The portions were more than generous. These tacos definitely fulfilled my craving for excellent barbacoa. I was concerned about ordering for delivery, but everything arrived well-packaged and included all the needed salsas, onions, and cilantro. Will definitely order from here again. Well done!! read more

Simply delicious, this is what barbacoa is all about. Not greasy, not overly seasoned, just right. Will definitely return and recommend this place. read more

The best barbacoa in El Paso only comparable to Juarez' and maybe not even that. They have the classics burrito, tacos, and torta but they also offer barbacoa gorditas which I hadn't had before and it's great. read more

Loved this place and will definitely return soon! Simple menu: Barbacoa, either by weight or via a plate. My husband got the taco plate (4 tacos) and I got the gordita plate (1 huge gordita!). Then they have a topping bar and we used both the red and green chili sauces, cilantro, chopped onions and limes. My husband mentioned how it felt much "lighter" than having a burger yet was totally satisfying. I could have easily stopped eating half way through my over sized gordita, as I was already full, but it tasted so good, I couldn't stop. The prices were low. Canned drinks were in a coke-fridge. Very clean dining area with just a few tables, but we were the only ones there around 11:40 on a Monday and it worked well for us! read more

¡Excelente! Excellent! Flavor is what takes me back to my home town in northern Mexico.. but this barbacoa has excelled! Most importantly of all is that IT IS NOT GREASY.... very cute clean place. read more

I want to say I'm impressed. I tried the barbacoa in a lonche (white bread roll) and it was really good. It was tasteful and not greasy at all. They included red and green salsa, cilantro and onions with my order. The staff was very nice and they even gave me a discount for being the first time. The prices are not cheap but fair and the place is simple but clean. I will be back. read more

If you live/work/loiter in the West side, you must stop by Barbacoa Los Primos... it is out of this world!

This place is so good!!!! First time here , will be back before we leave to California.. the Menu is so simple but that's all u need.. the tacos are full with meat the burritos the same... they have a torta. The place is small but that's all u need for a quick stop for some bomb food .. will be coming for breakfast and I'm gonna bring my mom she gonna love it.. the staff was really nice they even change the tv to cartoons for our kids we didn't even have to ask.. the fresh lemonade they had was so refreshing.. read more

Best food I had in years, period. The barbacoa burrito itself is worth a trip to El Paso.

The barbacoa is amazing! Its not greasy at all and has lots of flavor, going back 100%! Highly recommended

I don't like to be so negative about a small and local business, but I was very disappointed. I have been wanting to check this place out for awhile, but hadn't gotten around to it as it closes at 3pm and I just never was able to get there before close. I was able to get in there today (12/21/21) and I ordered a 1/2kg of barbacoa and some tortillas. When I got home and opened the box of barbacoa hoping to feed my family lunch, I was extremely disappointed. It looked like pureed meatloaf sitting in a pool of melted lard or oil. It didn't smell like food at all. ( I was wearing a mask at the store so I didn't notice the lack of aroma there) There was grease all over the inside of the bag and I poured out a large amount of grease. It did not look like barbacoa in the least. I've had barbacoa before and this was definitely not it. I thought maybe I was accidentally given the wrong food and figured I might as well try it, maybe it tasted better than it looked. It absolutely did not. No one else would even try it, it looked that bad. Even the dog wouldn't eat it. I was not able to take it back to the store, otherwise I would have. Normally I wouldn't post a bad review over a simple matter of the wrong food, but this was pretty gross and I don't see how anyone working in a restaurant could think it was okay to send whatever it was they gave me out of the kitchen to serve, even if it was their first day. It was that bad. I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt that it was just an honest mistake but I would definitely advise everyone to check their to go orders before leaving the restaurant. read more

Super clean and not so greasy best barbacoa ! Tried it for the first time a few days ago and the customer service was great very welcoming . Salsa's were good too. read more

They have great menudo on weekends but the sales and service process is extremely slow be ready to wait 30-45 minutes even if you call and place the order. read more

Home made Barbacoa with 3 options to eat it.. tacos, gorditas, and Torta. Portions are quite generous. You will not regrets if you are a barbacoa fan. I came for a second round in less than a week. This is a new gem in west El Paso. read more

Delicious, not salty or greasy which is usually my complaint with barbacoa. And a great value. Location is super clean and modern.

Excellent. I could go on and on, but I'll be short and sweet. Very clean, and the staff was welcoming, smiling and friendly. A small selection, but all I wanted was barbacoa, and it was F*CKING DELICIOUS. Mexican soda for drinks (yes!!!) and for $6 I would have to say, it's the most satisfying Mexican eating experience I've ever had since moving here (6 years ago). You can order by the plate, or large amounts (kilo) for take-home. It was fast as well. I will DEFINITELY be going back and telling my friends! Keep it up, los Primos!!! read more
