My son likes the food better here where as I am still partial to Tacos Los Cholos maybe because of the whole outside grill and the portions and salsas. However the nice guy at counter didn't offer me the cheese or pepper on my tacos and for a first timer it would been to say. In terms of quality - I got a burnt to the bone piece like charcoal when eating my fish taco so was not expecting a hard crunch like a stone in rice. I felt quantity of meat was def less than Tacos Los Cholos but at similar prices from what I remember but I have not been to Los Cholos in almost 6 months to a year probably so I have no idea how much food costs there anymore. I don't understand why a baked potato costs so much money.
Entering this restaurant makes it seem like I got transported into a hacienda. The ambiance is great, the lighting truly makes it seem like youre home? If that makes any sense. The food was quick and the service was immediate. The salsa bar had various sauces and topping to complete your food of choice. Our server/cashier, Michael, was great and made me aware of the deal they had going regarding agua frescas. The loaded potato was very soft and whatever cheese they used was amazing. The only reason for a 4/5 star was just due to the sticky tables. The amount of people who come in and "fight" for these tables warrants the tables to not be wiped as frequent.
Always a delight to eat here! I seem to always order tacos because they are so good and there is a nice selection of charcoal grilled tacos that include: Pollo Adobada Chorizo Asada Arrachera Cecina Costilla Pork belly Tripas Filet mignon Ribeye Pescado Cararon Pulpo Mushroom Panela
As soon as you walk in you are greeted with the tantalizing smells of grilled meat. A fantastic menu with options like pulpo (octopus) and arrachera along with all the usual favorites. We got asada, adobada and arrachera tacos with cucumber lime aguas frescas recommended by the lovely Daisy up front. Absolutely amazing food and it will be the go to spot. I'll be back for the chilaquiles burrito!
This place ranks a solid 4 stars in my book. The food is good, but I do think the pictures on the menu tend to hype up flavors that are slightly lacking. I tried four different tacos and a mini Mexican pizza. The filet mignon taco had great flavor, with extremely tender, soft meat. The taco de arrachera followed suit and didn't disappoint. Although these tacos were well seasoned, they still required toppings to elevate the flavor--chili, onions, cilantro, lime, etc. The pulpo taco was my favorite item I ordered. The octopus was super soft and chewy--exactly what you would expect texture-wise. Adding toppings like pickled onions and salsa made this taco especially enjoyable. When ordering the tripa taco, the cashier specifically asked if I wanted the meat crispy or non-crispy. I chose non-crispy. However, when I tried the taco, the meat was hard. Much of it was overcooked, and I felt like I was chewing on a piece of charcoal. I don't know if my order was prepared incorrectly or if this is what they consider non-crispy. If that's the case, I'd hate to taste the crispy version. I can't fathom the meat being any more burnt than it already was. Again, toppings were a must on this taco--they helped dilute the overwhelming charred flavor. Lastly, the Mexican pizza. I ordered mine with arrachera. The presentation looked amazing, but the flavor was simply good. It comes loaded with toppings--sour cream, guacamole, onions, cilantro, and more. Perhaps the abundance of toppings overwhelmed the palate. I'm not entirely sure. Would I come back? Definitely. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Do I think some menu items could use a little more pizzazz or a few slight refinements? Unequivocally. The cashier was friendly, knowledgeable, and able to recommend popular menu items. The ambiance was relaxed, with Hispanic music playing in the background, creating a chill atmosphere. Also of note you're paying for primecut meat. So expect to pay up. Lol
The Mini Mexican Pizza is soooo delicious! My son and husband had the surf and turf burritos and both left NOTHING behind! They absolutely loved their choice. This was a random find-we are so glad we found it! Daisy was super nice and helpful with explaining the menu. We will definitely be coming back!!
I first came by Primecut Taqueria because I had heard that it was similar to Tacos Los Cholos. There is apparently some drama involved between the two but that's really none of my business. After a few visits, I can say that I like Primecut about as much as I like Los Cholos. FOOD The quality is good. I've tried the Asada, arrachera, and shrimp. I've tried their taco, quesadilla, burrito, and potato. Everything was good SERVICE Over several visits, all of the different staff members were professional and nice. DINING ROOM There is a good mix of dining table sizes and I like how the condiment bar can be accessed from both sides. PARKING There is a shared parking lot in front of the restaurant and also another one in the rear. Parking wasn't a problem for me.
Just walking in to this place was a great experience, the line to order is divided by a half wall away from the tables. The art and interior design is trendy with still keeping the Mexican home feel, the menu and kitchen all looked clean along with the dining area. I got the quesadilla de al pastor and my friend got the Harrachera torta both were delicious in flavor and packed with meat! The salsa bar was super clean and well labeled and organized. I tried them all and all of them were really flavorful That spicy habanero has amazing taste but when they say spicy it's SPICY!!! so try at your own risk lol Definitely will come back to this place
I expected for a rib eye $9 taco is to get an amazing flavor, what a sad dinner for almost $30 for a chewy disgusting rib eye. These napkins are full of chewy rib eye, impossible that they're using rib eye or prime cut. NEVER AGAIN
I was craving some tacos recently and heard about Primecut on social media not too long ago, and had to try them out. I went for lunch on my first visit, enjoyed what I ordered, and can't wait to go back to try more of the menu. As you walk up to the cashier and glance at the menu, you can see the flaming grill action in the kitchen, where all the meats and other foods are prepared. I ordered a couple of tacos and sides. I went for the premium meats like Arrachera (outside skirt steak) and Costilla (chopped beef ribs). Both meats were flavorful, cooked well, and piled generously on the tortillas. I ordered the rice-and-beans side, and both were delicious, especially when adding more ingredients from the salsa bar. Highlights: - Flavorful, mesquite-grilled meats and plenty of offerings on the menu - The variety of salsas and condiments bar is solid - Taco Tuesday deals - Indoor and outdoor seating - Chill atmosphere and pleasant decor - A few TVs to watch sports - A few more locations in the OC The staff was kind, and the service was efficient. We got our dine-in order within 5-10 mins. The dining area and salsa bar were clean and tidy. We arrived around 1 pm, so we missed most of the lunch crowd. Price-wise, it's a bit on the premium side, but it's still a nice treat once in a while. They also add a small fee for card payments, so I prefer to pay with cash when I can. 4.5/5 Rating overall.
I have been here a few times. Their selection here for food is legit. I tried yet another first time for me which was their lobster burrito. I asked the gentleman behind the counter to explain to me what was inside it. So he did. I asked him can I add pulpo to it, he said sorry that would be it. Ok so I did just that. The burrito came. It had tons of lobster meat on it, pico de gallo, rice and beans and their sauce. I sliced the burrito in half because I thought that it was too big for my appetite that night. I took my first bite and boom. I was picking up pieces of my brain from the table. My head exploded on how good this thing tasted. The combination of the insides of the burrito was a match made in heaven. Every bite I made, caused even more damage because of how good this thing tasted. My jaw was on the floor, my tastes buds partied. Time for me to eat the other half because I didn't want to end this overwhelming sensation. This lobster burrito was one of the best tasting thing I have ever tasted. At $33? , it was worth it. Go try it! You'll know what I'm talking about
The service was so wonderful and the lady taking our order was so nice! The food was absolutely smashing! We had the Papa with Adobada and the surf and turf burrito. The papa was so good that the burrito paled in comparison so if you're in between the two, pick the potato! Also the vibes here are great with comfy seats and TVs turned on to soccer!
The food was OK, for the Tuesday special you get three tacos for $7.89 I think. I ordered two beef and one chicken and the total came out to $11. I asked the gal and she said it has to be all the same tacos. You can't mix them up. I looked at the menu and nothing was printed nothing was under the specials that said that there was nothing at the register that said that so I was a little confused. The portion that they give of the meat was very good. The bar where they have the sauces, onion, cilantro and lime was plentiful. The restaurant was a little crowded, but that's to be expected right before lunch and on a Tuesday for the specials. Overall, it was an OK experience not something I would hurry up and go back for but decent.
Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the authentic, flavorful food, high-quality meats, and friendly, attentive service.

Amazing quality meats and food! I highly recommend their real and authentic salsa bar! Ask for Daisy, she was amazing helping us with our order. Will be back for sure! read more
A friend referred me here while I was craving tacos, and it did not disappoint. I ordered four--Carne Asada, Chicken, Octopus, and Tripas--and the quality was exceptional across the board. You can really taste the smokiness in the meat, and the serving sizes are very generous. The salsa bar is another huge plus; they have a great variety of salsas, plus fresh cucumbers, radishes, onions, and cilantro so you can customize your tacos exactly how you like them. Pro-tip: Get there before the rush! The place gets packed very quickly, but it's 100% worth it. I'll definitely be back. read more

I ordered on DoorDash so I haven't actually been in the restaurant. But I was having some DoorDash issues and I called the restaurant and they were soooo helpful! Which tells me the customer service is great I ordered the asada Mexican pizza, piña agua fresca and churro cookie. I loved the asada (skirt steak) Mexican pizza. So Flavorful!!! I'd probably ask for extra onions next time and I love the roasted peppers on the side they were sooo spicy and delicious!! The meat was cooked perfectly. Piña agua Fresca was very sweet and light. I like drinks that have more tartness but I do appreciate the pineapple chunks it added an element of freshness The churro cookie was good. Idk that I'd order it again. read more

This is supposed to be a prime location for meat. I got a burrito and paid an additional $10 for ribeye medium rare and it came over well done and chewy. My husband even went back after we got home to tell them and get another one but... Same thing. Tough chewy meat. Skimpy burrito that I ended up paying $30 for!!? I am beyond mad that I can't get what was ordered . I will not be going back read more

Went in yesterday afternoon for a post workout meal. Was kindly greeted by Miss. Acela.. she walked over to the register with the biggest smile. She suggested the Filet mignon bowl as I was going for high protein and lean. 10/10.. the rice and meat was amazing! The rice tasted just like my mom's homemade rice. She also explained all the salsas, i accepted her habanero spicy challenge as I didn't believe her.. let's just say it's wild! Love it here, feels like home. Ask for Acela, she deserves both sides of her pillow to be cool at night. read more

Visiting and craving tacos? They are open late for the area. Service was welcoming and helpful. We placed a pretty large order for a family of 10. Burritos, tacos and a little of everything. They also have Aguas Frescas (Homemade fruit drinks). Delicious! We got home to find a burrito was missing and some added ingredients. We called and they made things right. Thankfully we were only a few minutes away. The food was delicious! Very tasty! The beans are awesome too! Ohh and the orange habaneros salsa is crazy hot! Be warned! Over all, the ambience is nice. A salsa bar is available to add all your favorite condiments. My son returned a few days later. Everything we tried was great! read more

Great food but packaged weirdly. Why were rib, octopus, and costilla mixed in one box? Pork and shrimp together? Can't tell the meat apart in some of them. read more
Overall a decent taco spot with higher quality meat options. They had an inside open fire grill for the meat so you know it's all about that grilled taco meats. The tripa, asada, and ribeye tacos were good and I loved the hot sauces bar. Also got the adobada and filet mignon tacos and they were just ok sort of dry. Guac and chips were Normal nothing too special about the guac felt like just mashed avocado. Inside is nice and modern ish and not your typical hole on the wall taco spot. I'd visit again. read more

Hello well I normally go eat here once a week and the food is amazing but this time I was really sad I was so excited to eat my torta and my water and well the water tasted like onion and cilantro and my torta was burnt both side ! This is sad but other than that all the staff is amazing and super nice specially Jose he's awesome ! read more
Taco Tuesdays, standard meat selections are 3 tacos for $7.50+. I've tried most of their tacos, just to try them, and I think the regular selection is the best bang for your bucks. The prime selection is okay, but can get super costly. This is having street taco stuff, in a clean restaurant environment, with modern convenience. The condiment/salsa bar is outstanding, more sauces that necessary. More options is always good. Cilantro, onions, red onions, lime, everything to kick up the food. read more
