    First visit and it did not disappoint. We had no expectations except for a nice meal at a nice price. They have outdoor seating for when the weather turns nice that's a plus. Inside was neat clean and friendly. We received a warm and friendly welcome when we entered and that set the pace for a nice visit. The food was good as well as the service. They also have a nice margarita. We will be back. Also, it appears to be appropriately named as El Puente means the bridge which is nearby.

    First off the location is excellent for Deep Creek, and sitting outside was nice and the patio is covered by sails. Service was good the staff was very friendly and the place is clean. We went for lunch the place was packed with locals. If you grew up eating Mexican food daily skip to the second paragraph The menu has lots of options. They make guacamole at your table and you get to choose the ingredients, the avocado were good. The burritos are smothered with cheese and sour cream, your going to need a fork. The tacos are ok nothing fancy the rice and beans are also good. The portions are large, with standard chips and mild salsa at your table. Try the horchata. The corn tortillas are low quality, I don't think they are made there but I could not pick up the taco, no onions cilantro no lime with my taco. There was pico but not that good. And the carne asada was dry. We also had a carne asada burrito but you could not pick it up it was wet with sour cream, it was supposed to come with melted cheese we ordered it with out. It also had melted cheese inside, we had to eat it with a fork and then it fell apart. The guacamole was okay, my tacos came with a separate salsa not good, so we had mild table salsa and the other one. The rice had peas and carrots? Not a fan. I don't think I'll go back.

    Amazing service, great food, good atmosphere. My wife and I frequent this place. We are never disappointed. It's our go to Mexican spot.

    Food was good and the service was GREAT. I was a fan of the salsa. It was just the right spice without being overly hot.

    This is their second location the other one is located on Taylor Rd. in Chesapeake. The service was fast and attentive. The restaurant has a full bar and lunch specials. They created an outdoor area, no chairs or tables yet. The portions are good for the price. First time going here to eat. I had a grilled shrimp & chicken salad (El Puente salad). My 8yr old had the kids chicken fingers & fries. Her tenders were tasty, I always try her food, fries were fresh. We shared the dessert churros with ice cream, very tasty. It's a bit of a pain to get to this location if you live on the west side of Moses Granby Trail due to the bridge traffic. So we usually take our bicycles or walk to the shops.

    Horchata in a giant glass. It's super tasty and refreshing

I forgot that I ordered delicious beef nachos from them about a year ago as well. The portions for both nachos and enchiladas are enough for a filling meal, and the order was fulfilled as requested.

It is quite convenient off Mount Pleasant Road and Centerville Turnpike, so if you're in area check it out. **I forgot to take pictures but I will update this review when I order from them again!**

It was a busy work day, so less noise is always appreciated. Our server Eduardo G. was friendly and attentive. The chips were fresh, along with the large bowl of salsa and smaller bowl of white sauce. The draft beers were cold. We enjoyed our dinner orders of the Enchiladas Supremas and Chori Pollo. We had plenty to take home for another meal since the servings were a good size. This location of Los Primos in the Mt Pleasant Shopping Center in Chesapeake is family friendly and has lively music playing at a low-moderate volume. We like the service and atmosphere, and we appreciate that we don't have to shout across the table when we're enjoying dinner and conversation.

Since…read moremy first visit which was about two weeks week ago my husband and I just went this past weekend and my mom and I just went on this past Wednesday all three times were a 10 out of a 10. Thhe service is on point! The Ambiance is on point! The attentiveness the drinks I cannot complain! I'm a margarita girl and the Margaritas here did not disappoint especially their Ranch Water. My favorite here is the classic quesadilla and you can choose your own protein. The first time I chose chicken and this last time which was on Sunday I chose the shrimp and added some fresh jalapenos... divine! My husband loves the fajita tacos I think that's going to be his go-to meal When We Dine here. The parking not an issue at all plenty of parking it does get busy around 6:30 7:30 on the weekend and on Wednesday which is 899 fajita nights. Now I will admit you on this night in particular I did get the steak fajitas I wasn't a fan of them but I still tore them up! The quantity that you get for 899 super super duper:] So pack your patience if you come on one of the busy nights. Today being Tuesday as I'm typing this review it's Taco Tuesday so tacos are a dollar and 50 Cent after 5:00 p.m. so I'm sure this night is going to be busy. Nevertheless it's worth visiting and priced just right! Have fun and enjoy life :)

We were sat immediately around 630 on a Friday evening. We received chips and dips before I could even sit down! Our server promptly greeted us and drinks were ready within minutes. So far, so good. For dinner, hubby had the Vegetarian E which came with a burrito, quesadilla and chalupa, daughter had the kids quesadilla with beans and I initially selected the shrimp bowl. Our food took about 15 minutes. Both quesadillas were barely warm and the cheese wasn't even melted. The refried beans were loaded with red pepper and too spicy for my child. My shrimp bowl was overwhelmed by cheese and aioli that I couldn't stomach it. Our server kindly let me order something else so I selected the shrimp taco salad. It arrived shortly thereafter but was also so greasy it made my stomach turn. 2 stars just for service. 0 for food. Overall, this meal was an unfortunate waste of $50.

We started the night with drinks: I went for a cold Modelo, while my friends both ordered margaritas, and wouldn't stop raving about how good they were! For appetizers, we shared the Union Trio! Fire roasted tomato salsa, creamy guacamole, and queso served with crisp tortilla chips. All three were fresh and delicious, a great way to kick off the meal. For my main, I mixed things up with a taco trio! Carne Asada (marinated steak, onion, queso fresco, avocado, cilantro), Chicken Tinga (marinated chicken, refried black beans, avocado, greens, queso fresco, cilantro) and Blackened Mahi (mezcal pickled onion, red cabbage, red pepper pico, chipotle sauce, cilantro). The blackened mahi was my hands down favorite. It was super flavorful with just the right amount of heat. My friends tried some awesome dishes too! One had the Coconut Curry Mahi (blackened mahi, jasmine rice, edamame succotash, with a rich coconut curry cream sauce) and the other had the Duck Confit Taco (with cherry salsa, pickled carrot salad, and cilantro-lime creme). Our waitress was phenomenal and definitely suggested great choices. If you're in the area and craving something a little more elevated than your average Mexican spot, Union is absolutely worth checking out. Great food, tasty drinks, and a stylish atmosphere!
