Taqueria Los Primos

THE BEST place to get tacos in the Pennsylvania Delaware area. I’m born in Mexico raised in Kennett square PA and I drive to this spot to get my fix. If you are looking to avoid crowds go during the week because on the weekend it’s packed and you may have to share a table with someone. But the food is so good and authentic that it’s worth going regardless of the day. Even on a busy day the service is fast and it’s all fresh and handmade. When you order they bring out a tray cilantro, assorted onions, salsas and limes all in molcajetes. Any order that comes with tortillas will be served with warm freshly handmade tortillas. It’s to die for, I highly recommend.

So so good! It’s great to have an authentic mexican taco. Everything is so fresh and the atmosphere is really great. very refreshing and a great experience.

Finally an authentic Mexican taqueria! You know you’re in the right place when it’s packed with the locals. Hard to get a table on the weekends. Menu is small, prices are average, the tacos are packed with meat, but the star here are the handmade corn tortillas. Walking into this place I felt like I was back in Mexico visiting family. I would’ve given them 5 stars but one of the ladies there was rude when I asked for a fork. She said,“they’re tacos. You don’t eat them with a fork.” Well duh, but I use it to pick up all the meat that spills out of the taco. Whatever. Not a fancy place but food is good.

Ok, but a little bit expensive
Also they take to long to serve the food.
Parking space always crowd by other store customers

The most authentic Latin food place I have been to in Delaware. This really truly is a gem. It is a small menu but it is all they need. Everything is delicious and very inexpensive. Not to mention the service is super friendly and you can order in either Spanish or English. And I love how you get a big try of condiments. Definitely my new favorite!

Best hidden gem. I always get chorizo and egg. The tortillas are fresh and handmade. I think they make all the difference.

This place is so authentic, we’ve based a lunch taco club around this place. Many of the local chef’s (and some not local) make the trek over for lunch.
I’ve got a client in Mexico again, and I tell you with all honesty, this is authentic. Like I said, forget English, and forget take out.
Remember, simple taco’s are about the sides. Pile on the sauce, onions, and cilantro!

I gave this place a 2^nd chance today. I went in around 3:30pm and it was getting busy. I ordered their tamales this time. They weren’t bad, just bland. Like I said in my previous review, this place caters to the locals. I won’t be back.

Stopped by based on Unilocal reviews. Problem 1 NOBODY and I do mean nobody spoke a word of english. Couldn’t get an answer to, «Do you have hard tacos?» Finally resorted to pointing at the menu items. Got 1 charizo and 1 steak taco. They just spooned meat on a soft flour tortia and wrapped it up. The steak was not season at all not even salt and pepper. They included a foil wrap of diced onions and cilantro and a plastic shot glass of a green sauce. Overall not what I hoped for. Not going back.

With some reservation, I decided to stop in Taqueria Los Primos and try it. As soon as I was walked in, I was standing right next to the counter where the cook is frying up the ingredients that go inside the tacos on a griddle.
It was a gray over cast day and I noticed some patrons eating big bowls of soup. They only have two kinds of soup Menudo (no thanks) and some kind of pozole soup that is only offered two days out of the week. With that in mind, I decided to only try the tacos.
I ordered a chorizo, beef, and pastor (pork) taco. The women told me uno momento and before I knew it, my order was ready. The tacos come with an OUTSTANDING salsa verde, a lime, red and white onions, and cilantro.
I tried the chorizo taco first and it was OUTSTANDING! The chorizo had great flavor and a little bit of heat. The tortillas where cooked over a griddle and were great! Next, I tried the beef taco. This taco was not what I expected. The beef resembled the beef that is used on a cheese steak. It was cut up into small, thin pieces. I was a little skeptical and thought the taco would be bland, but I was wrong. The beef taco had a nice flavor. My final taco left was the pastor. Again, did not look the way I expected it. The pastor was cut into tiny bits and many of the pieces were over cooked. The pieces that where not hard and crunchy had a nice taste. This was my least favorite of the three, but it was still tasty.
Overall, I was blown away with how great their tacos tasted. They speak very little to no English. If you are use to frequenting places that speak little English, you will not feel out of your comfort zone. For those who are not use to it, don’t worry about it. You will make out fine. I plan to make many more trips for their tasty tacos in the future.

Great tacos. I came here after seeing this place on a visit to the paleteria next door, and I wanted to stop by. I came around noon on Sunday, which was a bad idea since the place was hopping, and I had to get my tacos to go. First thing you should know is that you’ll probably feel uncomfortable here if you don’t speak Spanish. Don’t worry. Just relax and pretend that you’re on vacation and take a look at the menu. It’s pretty small compared to most places, but if you know anything about Mexican food, you’ll do okay. They mostly have tacos, tortas, quesadillas, tamales, and menudo here, although with a few more things like daily specials and such. I ordered the pastor (marinated pork), lengua (hehehe, if you don’t know, you don’t know), and tripa. The pastor left much to be desired, especially if you’ve had really great al pastor before. The tripa was okay, but it wasn’t what I was expecting. This was the first time I’ve had tripe tacos, and I didn’t realize it would be breaded and crispy. It was good, but probably not to my preference. The lengua, however, was great. It’s one of my favorite (real) taco meats, and it was flavorful and tender. They also had chorizo and bistek that I didn’t get to try on this visit, but I’ll definitely be back for the lengua tacos and to try some of the other menu items. This place is a cash-​only type of place. The back cooler is filled with the typical taqueria drink offerings. I’d recommend the sidral mundet, which is an apple flavored soda from Mexico. After you’re finished eating, you can easily head over to the paleteria next door for some excellent dessert.

I LOVE this place! Hands down, the best authentic Mexican I’ve had around here! I make special trips there solely for their chorizo torta. It is heavenly. My daughter loves their tamales.
True, the staff doesn’t speak much English, but most of the other patrons are bilingual and friendly, and don’t mind translating.

Forget about the ambience. If you are looking for authentic mexican tacos, menudo and quesadillas, this is the place to go. If your one who is not too picky about restaurant appearances this is the place to go in the Wilmington, DE area.
They have a nice selection of soft tacos from bistek, lengua, al pastor, tripa and my favorite… chorizo!
Those of you who are like Tex-​Mex stuff may want to go to a chain resto, this is the real thing.
The people who run the place do not speak English that well. Nevertheless, when you see that there are a lot of hispanics frequenting the joint, you know the food must be authentic and good.
