Philly cheese steak was fantastic. They put it on the same type of bread a Cuban is on and it was fresh and perfectly toasted. I'm typically not a huge fan of onions but these didn't overpower the sandwich and the peppers were great. Hush puppies were delicious and plentiful, the order had well over a dozen. By far best cheese steak in town.

I hate doing this, but I'm currently typing this review with Food Poisoning. I ordered the wings, hotdogs, and steak burger. I believe the steak burger is what is causing this. I've been diahretic since last night. And have developed a fever as well. I can still taste the steak aftertaste after 24 hours. I'm staying hydrated to help fight this, but I do not believe I would order from this establishment again. Sorry.

Came across El Primo when I was searching for Mexican food in the area that served empanadas. If you didn't know about this restaurant ahead of time you may easily pass it by, but it's worth locating! I was very impressed with the service, the price of the food, the portion size and of course the TASTE! It was so delicious!!!! The salsa that was served alongside my dish was also delightful. I highly recommend the empanadas and would drive to Statesville again just for them. The menu had a variety of authentic dishes that I hope to try sometime in the near future.

A solid 4 and maybe even 4 1/2 Super friendly and prompt service from the Amiga The chicken enchiladas were excellent and I can see where some customers commented on the taco being cold. I ordered the 26 combo Not easy keeping taco meat warm without drying it out substantially Im sure there's a solution for that Choice of rice or beans hmm ? Offering both with bigger portions would have made my combo closer to a 4 1!2 to 5 As is a worthy and good value and I would definitely recommend! Good stuff

We stopped by and ordered fajitas. The fajitas were ok but the rice and beans that came with it were ice cold. I mentioned this to the waiter and she said that they warmed it up already. It was cold like it just came out of the refrigerator.

I've never been inside but we've had delivery and takeout from here. The first time, the food was rather bland (Enchiladas Verde and ACP). This time, it was surprisingly tasty and filling. I chose the Fried Chimichanga with beef filling for my husband. He really enjoyed it, said it was moist inside and nicely filled. I had the Enchiladas El Primro. (I had a Mexican cheese filling inside.) It had both the regular (red) and verde (green) sauces. It was really good and lived up to my expectations. The rice was mild and the beans might have thin, but were still creamy and tasty. This second time, the food was good enough to raise the rating from 3 star to 4 star.
Good service. Shrimp al ajillo, (garlic) was taste full and was open on thanksgiven night. I'll come back with my family.

I have ordered twice from this place and both times the tacos were cold and the tortillas were hard not freshly made . I ordered in advance and still had to wait for about 15 minutes. The place looks good but I think they need better the food quality I might give them one more chance.

The man who runs this place is a Legend and a champion. Worked with a broken foot, served some of the best authentic Mexican food I've ever had and was very friendly and generous. I Will definitely return the next time I'm in town.

From the outside it doesn't look like much but looks can be deceiving. Traditional Mexican food is offered along with a bit of Tex Mex. Chicken enchiladas are good they can be made verda instead of red sauce my personal preference. Just ask. Tuesday is dollar street tacos and will visit for the Pastor (pork) and Asada (steak) tacos. For two dollars Barbacoa and Carnitas tacos can be had as well. The owner is super nice and even remembers who you are even with a mask on. While they don't have tamales sopes, flautas and tostadas are offered.

We love the food here. It's not a production line Mexican resturant. The food is so good and it's very affordable. I try to eat here everytime I go to Salisbury.
Y'all ..if you want amazing real food, this is a no brainer!!! ❤️❤️❤️
