Visiting my son at Fort Bragg, we both wanted traditional Mexican food. The food was tasty, though not really spicy. As advertised, the burritos are huge. The baked (/) chicken dish was very good. We found the margaritas overly sweet, rather than tangy. Service was good. Server was attentive. Prices were high, IMO. read more

Visiting Fort Bragg, this place was a awesome hole in the wall with great service. Went here on a whim as I was missing home (California) and wanted a taste of authentic Mexican food. Safe to say I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys taqueria tacos. Meat was nice and crispy, salsa was fairly spicy but not overwhelming, and I got my food within minutes after ordering. read more

Los Primos - 2x Tripa, 1x Lengua, 1x Chicharrone Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Spring Lake, North Carolina

This place used to be my favorite. I'm not sure what they changed, but the new owner added a new twist to the food. I'm not a fan of the new taste. The first time, I thought it was just a bad day and then the second time I realized it was the seasoning. It was like a bitter taste to it. I'm disappointed and will not return read more

love going here for the esquites. it's a cute, store/ restaurant- very homey atmosphere! customer service is always great & they've recently had a few upgrades! the tacos are always a hit, along with the tamales and dorilocos. they also serve menudo on saturdays. can't wait to try more stuff on the menu! read more

Amazing little place in the back of a grocery store. Food was excellent. Had 4 tacos and they were most excellent with the chorizo being the best one. Service was excellent very friendly!! Cool environment of course because a taco shop in the back of a grocery store should be amazing right?? read more

Pleasantly surprised how good of a meal I had here. The carne asada and the barbacoa tacos were amazing. Also, the elote was perfect. Looking forward to trying more food from here. read more

Los Primos - Barbacoa and carne asada tacos with a view of the market - Mexican Near Me - Spring Lake, North Carolina

Best taco I've ever had. I repeat: BEST TACO I'VE EVER (including all) HAD! I write this review a year later. I am still having dreams about it. This review is more of a letter from a semi-secret admirer than just a pleased patron. I merely drove past it a year later and could not stop because it was closed on Sunday (which is a plus). Principled and unavailable. Best sign? The restaurant plays second fiddler to the Mexican general store it occupies furtively in the corner. Another good sign? Yet another good sign? The staff doesn't bother speaking much English. True to form--they do not pander to American tastes (e.g. including cheese in any form). This is hot-blooded authentic Mexican Tacos (I am talking Corn Tortilla, marinated slow cooked meat, onion, cilantro, and lime on the side ONLY). They are so proud of their various meats that they do not need things like cheese and lettuce to mix it up. I admire the simplicity and the form this joint delivers. The secret is out now. read more

This restaurant was located inside of a Mexican grocery store. Wrapped in foil, the carne asada burrito looked as humble as the restaurant's setting and vibe. But after one bite, I immediately felt like I was eating a home-cooked meal. All the customers were Hispanic, and apparently, many of the customers like to hang out there, which led me to believe I was in an authentic community spot. Also, try their quesadilla--never tried one with so little cheese, but I like it. read more

Great food and friendly! My daughter and I got Carne Asada tacos and street corn and my son got a Carne Asada Burrito. Nothing fancy but tasted great! read more

Best tacos in Fayetteville/Spring Lake. Come for food. Plenty of seating. Good for lunch or afternoon snack. Very friendly service.

It doesn't look like much but their food is full of authentic Mexican flavor. The service is quick and the people nice. I would go back read more

Los Primos - Torta - Mexican Near Me - Spring Lake, North Carolina

Don't let the appearance fool you, this is the BEST tacos you'll ever get in this area. Aside from their entire family of children running around, they have the best customer service. The meat is never chewy and it always tastes the same every visit. read more

Don't let looks fool you. The best around. We recommend the barbacoa and lengua burritos. It's so good, it's where my husband and I are getting take out for our 39th wedding anniversary. I want to try the tacos, too. Sure we won't be disappointed! Try this place, don't miss out. Friendly service. Small business. Support them! read more

Always good wait staff and the food is as on menu. If your ever sick they have excellent chicken soup, slightly different and very good. You never have to wait to be waited on and the food doesn't take forever either. read more

I love this little store/restaurant. We go often for a re-up on candies, pastries and it's a working restaurant. You'll come in to find the family at dinner towards the back but once you're ready and waiting at the counter, they will take care of you. This is mostly a store but you might as well grab some food while you're there. read more

A small Latin shop with limited seating toward the back. This is definitely not your standard American Mexican food joint, no chips and salsa or stereotypical Mexican decor. BUT the food is good, the service is fast, and everyone is friendly. I just wish I was here Saturday for menudo. read more

This is the best taqueria in the area. Great food, prices, family owned and the service is good.

I had been hearing that there was some place in Spring lake that had great mexican food (Real Mexican)Taqueria style tacos. I was reading a HIspanic newspaper last Saturday that had an ad for Los Primos , so decided that I should give it a try. Ok so it is a very small and I really do mean VERY small store with some groceries (canned goods, hot sauces, spices, candy, soft drink coolers and such) and some clothing (cowboy boots and fancy children's dresses) they also have some yarns and embroidered table runners, and bedspreads in a glass case near the back of the store, and some cookware by the front door. Basically its a typical mom & pop Mexican store. The food part is Tacos, Mexican style tacos (small corn tortillas filled with your choice of meat, chopped onion and cilantro) the meats I remember seeing were Birria (goat); barbacoa (beef); Al pastor (marinated pork); carnitas (fried pork); lengua (tongue) and thats all I remember for now. They had a plate of 2 tacos and rice for like $3.99. The individual tacos were like $1.75 each. They also have Tortas (sandwiches on bakery rolls); Tamales (steamed corn dough with meat filling) and I think they had a couple of other choices, honestly I was in a rush on a short lunch hour today but I will go back and update the review with photos in the next few days. You can get the fod to go, or they have a few nice tables to sit and eat at. The young man working in there was very nice and I will definitely be going back. read more

Being from Southern California its very hard for me to find tacos in the south that I like and this place was everything I hoped it would be. The man inside was so sweet and quick to get my order even though he was the only one working when I went. I will definitely be back to try more from their menu. read more

Los Primos - Carne asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - Spring Lake, North Carolina

If you want authentic, feel good tacos this is the place to go. Went with a few friends yesterday and we each different items on the menu. Tacos, Gorditas, Burrito. All perfectly seasoned and tasty. As you wait for your food feel free to check out the little grocery section. It's full all the Mexican candies and seasonings you grew up with. I will most definitely be coming back. As for appearance, don't go in expecting something fancy. But who cares. You're there for the food. read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, visit this place. The tamales are the best in town. The cook must always be in a great mood because I haven't been disappointed ever by their tamales, unlike a few other places in the Fayetteville area. read more

Best tacos in Fay or spring lake, hands down. Go get them. You'll pull up and won't feel like you're at a restaurant but just go in and head to the back. read more

Excellent Mexican cuisine and a great selection of grocery items inside. I love getting a new hot sauce whenever I go in to get food!!!

These are hands down, by far, the BEST tacos I have ever had. Seriously. I can't say enough good things about this place. Every time I visit spring lake, I make sure to stop here and get the Barbacoa and Pastor tacos. These tacos beat out any fancy taco place and are waaaaayyyyyy cheaper. The tamales are also fantastic and I love the green salsa! read more

I been coming here for years, staff is always friendly and the service is fast. One of the best Mexican spots in the spring lake / Fayetteville area. read more

Very authentic Mexican tacos. I lived in Mexico for 12 yrs and I must say these are very close to the real deal. Good Horchata as well.

Excellent food! This may be our new go to taco joint. We particularly like their sauces. They don't skimp on the meat.

I tried their chicken tamales and they were delicious! The sauces were legit as well. They had a red and a green sauce. The selection of Mexican and other Hispanic goods were also decent but somewhat overpriced. Considering they are one of the few places that are authentic, it's probably worth the premium. read more

Good for Fayetteville. I wish they had chips and salsa and tacos are over two dollars each for what is 75 cents in Cali. Best place by default. Unless you like Mi Crapsita. read more

So this isn't Mexican food I'm used to, used to living so close to the border, but, it's pretty good and much better than the chain in Fayetteville. We got two Tortas and a chicken quesadilla, the quesadilla tasted like rotisserie, the barbacoa gotta wasn't greasy, but I prefer it with more flavor, and pastor Torta was kinda spicy. The store it self felt like home, they have lots of Mexican foods and candies, conchas and ever limon chips. read more

Worst food i ever hate i went becuase most authentic small mexican restaurants sell the best food and is very tasteful. But this place was the total opposite like on review said they didnt even know how to roll a burrito. read more

This place was sub-par at best.. They can barely roll a burritto , and its kind of a dump..would not recommend, unless you are close to starving to death...makes you poop real bad too. read more

The tacos are authentic! Not be confused with Tex-Mex food. With that said, the food is delicious!

fruit cups and authentic imported items, candy, clothes And shoes... not big, but a taste of Mexico read more

See all

This is the place if you want authentic Mexican food small hole in the wall but the food is great.

This place is awesome. I'm from the west and I haven't had real good Mexican food in a looking time. It's so awesome that me and my wife concider it our hidden treasure, and hide the place from our friends and family. But no were not stopping any business we buy to go for them. Love it! read more

very authentic mexican food. great tacos. have been here numerous times. close to base. is a candy shop when you walk in but dont be fooled

I love the tacos here! The most authentic tacos in this area. The service is awesome as well! Fast and friendly. Be sure to try the Horchata drink as well. I go back as often as I can and they serve menudo on Saturdays so I'm definitely going back for that! read more

Some of the best tacos I've had. Truly an authentic experience. My husband and I go here all the time. The cheese in the quesadillas is to die for. read more

It's very small and family ran. The food is great. If you like El Tucan then you would definitely like this place. I usually go in there for the beef tacos. I swear I could live On Some beef tacos. Their burritos are humongous I don't even know how to begin to eat it. I can't complain as they are delicious. The prices are decent as well. read more
