    Pastor, carne asada and Chorizo tacos! Super delicious bursting with flavor.
    Sandy G.

    Tacos Los Primos never disappoints. My constants remain Carne asada, Chorizo and Al Pastor. The grilled Ceboillatas (onions) always seals the deal. Always one of our go-tos when in Richmond/San Pablo.

    Chicken quesadilla
    Gagan S.

    Food: 2/5 The chicken quesadilla was one of the greasiest versions I have tried. The flavor of the chicken itself didn't stand out and the tortilla was soggy. They offer only two types of salsa (green and red) and also charge for additional salsas over the one the order comes with. This was an 18 minute drive just to help fulfill a taco truck craving and it did not hit the spot. A few taco trucks in Oakland seem to be my go to (when driving to San Diego or Mexico isn't an option) the quesadillas have some crunch/less greasy, and also usually 2-3 salsas come with the order without an extra charge. The food was dripping grease and spilled into my bag when I first opened it. Service: 3/5 Friendly service. Ambiance: 2/5 This could be a different experience during a different time/day, but the parking lot was empty and it was incredibly windy.

    The spot
    Eilove S.

    The tacos here was amazing. Plenty of meat and veggies in it, we had to wait about 5/10 minutes to order cause there were a few people agead of us but the tacos came in super fast. Would definitely eat here again and most likely this is going to be our regular tacos spot. They had some spanish music playing on the background which was nice to listen to while eating tacos. Ample of parking space in the community and there were ample of street parking just in case. We will come back again to try other menu items as well. P.S- I took the pictures after half eating the tacos cause they were that tempting.

    Says $3.25 for a taco with carnitas..

    I've been coming to this taco truck for a while but took a long hiatus. The tacos here have always been mid but seems to satisfy my cravings. However, the last visit to Tacos Los Primos left a bad taste in my mouth. The tacos here are $3.25 each. I ordered 4 carnitas tacos and was charged $13.75, which I paid CASH for. There's never been a charge for tax before and I was shocked. I think they charged me an extra 75 cents because I am not of Hispanic heritage and ordered in English. This is shady business practice and racist. I will not support a business that adds extras for themselves because they think they can get away with it. Sorry Los Primos, you lost a CASH paying customer forever. Will be patronizing other taco trucks that has honest practices in the area. Stay away from this shady taco truck that cheats it's non Hispanic customers!

    Seating with parking

    Tacos Los Primos is a food truck parked into a corner of a parking lot. just a few spaces along the street are allowed for parking. the others are off limits. posted sign says to park only in designated areas. a few tables next to truck for seating. offerings: burritos, tacos. drinks, quesadillas, tortas eats: al pastor taco (2.25), lengua taco (2.50) -adequate proteins on double corn tortillas, fresh, almost juicy -garnished with whole onion, radish lime, jalepeno, cilantro 4ish stars. good value, quick courteous service, free parking take outs: -be aware of shoutout when order is ready, they call out, but didn't hear #.

    I love this place. So much that I drive all the way from Marin just to order my chicken burrito . The burrito is just tasty and there's nothing like it in Marin.

    Super lengua there's absolutely nothing super about this 0/10 do not recommend
    Zane T.

    Order a super burrito it was just meat, cheese and rice. Not sure what they consider super but this ain't it

    Why so much grease?
    Melissa A.

    One salsa container for 4 tacos. Hard ass lime. Horchata is not tasty and too much grease for no reason. I stopped here since I wanted tacos because my usual spot El Tucán was closed. Lesson learned never cheat on your main taco spot. Ain't never coming back here. Do better ladies.

    Carne asada tacos
    Sebastian F.

    This was my casual spot for tacos and burritos for years, but now I'm bummed to write, but I will be visiting this taco truck less. I ordered three tacos of carne asada at $3 per taco. The flavor was okay but I noticed the tortillas wasn't fully cooked and the lemon was hard. Kinda of a turn off. Quality went down as the prices went up. I hope they'll improve.

    Tacos are pretty good, service is good and fast, and ambiance is nice. Price is a little steep. I think it was like 3.25 for a little taco.

The menu offers a good variety of Mexican inspired dishes, from tacos and birria ramen and burritos. Everything we tried had great flavor and was clearly made fresh. The sauces, seasoning and overall balance of the dishes were definitely the highlight of the meal. We ordered quite a few items including quesabirria, shrimp tacos, a burrito and birria ramen. The shrimp tacos were especially flavorful, topped with a creamy sauce that paired really well with the shrimp. The quesabirria tacos also had that nice crispy texture with the rich birria flavor that people look for. The restaurant itself is clean, organized and well set up, with outdoor seating available which is nice on a sunny day. It has a relaxed vibe where you can sit down with friends and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. The only thing I noticed across several of the dishes was that the portions of meat felt a little light compared to the tortilla or toppings. The flavor is absolutely there, but a slightly more generous portion of meat would make these dishes even better. Overall, solid spot with great flavor and a fun menu. With just a little more generosity on the protein portions, this place could easily be a standout taco spot.

My friend was delighted with her shrimp enchiladas. The vegetables were al dente and of superior quality and taste too. The rice wads fluffy with each grain discreet. The pinto beans tasted great. The chocolate cake was so fresh, rich, and decadent we almost couldn't believe it with chocolate syrup on the plate to deepen the chocolate flavor when several layers of iced cake was dragged through it. The food is not cheap and it tastes superb. Each dish deserves to be savored in its perfection. Even the water served very cold with a lemon wedge tasted extremely good. If you want a special experience of exceptionally good food, with equally exceptional service, go to Agave Azul. It's worth every penny and more.

My brother choked on a large piece of plastic in his Tres Leches French Toast. I told one of the male staff members there was plastic in his dish, and he just said, "Sorry, it was probably the plastic from the bread's packaging," and then walked away. A few minutes later, I saw the waitress and pulled her aside to discreetly tell her there was plastic in my brother's meal. She told me she wanted to see it ( kind of with a tone of 'I don't believe you'), and I brought her over to the dish to show her. She didn't say anything, so I said we would happily pay for the other dishes, but could my brother's meal be comped for the choking hazard? The waitress turned and went to the kitchen, to, I guess, talk to someone about it. The waitress came back out, took the dish away, probably to show whoever was in the kitchen. A while later, she came back out with the check, but did not bother to explain to us what the plan was from there. We did see a 50% markdown on my brother's dish. It was really awkward because the waitress did not have a very pleasant or inviting attitude; she stood there glaring as we reviewed the bill and figured out the payment method. There was a serious lack of communication (not due to a language barrier; we are a Spanish-speaking family) and an unnecessary, blasé and mean demeanor from the waitress on Mother's Day.
