Barbacoa El Primo serves solid breakfast burritos with a choice of meat, and their barbacoa is a standout. The salsa bar offers a range of toppings, including a extremely hot red salsa and a perfect green sauce. The breakfast burrito is often considered better than the barbacoa burrito because it comes with egg, potatoes, cheese, and barbacoa. The food is consistently good, with many customers praising the super tender, slow-cooked meat and fresh homemade tortillas. This small restaurant may have limited seating but can accommodate a decent number of customers. The place is clean, welcoming, and has a friendly, down-to-earth vibe with smiles from staff. Many visitors find the food incredible and authentic, making it a favorite for those coming from far away, such as New York and France. The drinks are great, with refills available, adding to the overall positive experience.
