The food is delicious, and the service is excellent. My office is 5 minutes away, so I have visited this establishment quite a few times. My favorites are the carnitas tacos, Birriaquesadilla, and gorditas. I usually order to take out because the restaurant is small, and they have a lot of chairs and pumping loud Rancheras.

The service is attentive and very polite. The beverages were wonderful! The watermelon was like drinking a freshly sliced watermelon. You must try it! I had the gorditas. My mistake was eating the chicharrón first. It was hands-down the BEST of the three so the other two (al pastor & carne asada) paled in comparison. Don't get me wrong, they were still great, but the chicharrón was my absolute favorite. My partner had the tacos and I tried the cavesa taco...YOU MUST TRY IT!!! It was fatty and smoky with crispy burnt ends. The next time I plan on trying the cocktail and ceviche along with two sopes; one of cavesa and one chicharrón. This is worth the drive from DC and I recommend it highly!

This place is small inside. So be prepared to have the waitress climbing over you and people also. The food is delicious though. It is clean inside and out, along with the bathrooms! Everyone was getting the soup! I got the tacos barria and my husband got a couple different tacos. My daughter got the fries with hot dogs shaped as a octopus. The waitress was friendly and attentive! Will definitely be out there again when in town.

Two dollar Tuesday tacos! That's not a typo. Say no more, I could end the review there but there are various specials that top out at ten dollars throughout the week. The tacos were delicious and the portions were generous. All I needed was four and I was content. Not many taquerias add the whole pepper on the side and that was a nice touch. The staff were friendly and the takeout experience was speedy. Treat yourself!

We stopped by to satisfy a tacos cravings and there is so much here! We got the 4 tacos for 14$ options and picked our proteins and some agua Fresca. Let me take a moment to highlight that this restaurant has excellent agua Fresca. Jamaica, tamarindo and horchata all 10 out of 10. We even got some to go so we could enjoy it later. The only drawback we found were the salsas for the tacos. They were both extremely watered down and had no flavor and that was a bit of a let down because it takes away from the experience. Outside of that, service was great, drinks good and the tacos are huge! Just need the salsa to match the vibes a little bit more.

I was headed to a movie on a Tuesday night and decided to grab a bite to eat before heading over to the theater. The decor was vibrant and there was plenty of seating available. It wasn't too busy but they had a steady flow of customers. I ordered enchiladas which was topped with crema, cheese, and a green salsa. It also came with salad, refried beans and rice on the side. It was delicious. I really enjoyed the green salsa. Overall, I had a good experience. The service was good, the food was great and came out quickly. My only gripe really was that the music was as really loud which made it hard to hear my waitress at times.

My favorite taco place is the los primos in Laurel so I had to try their new location in Beltsville as well and it definitely lives up to its predecessor. This is a seafood place but they do have tacos like the Laurel location. The birria tacos are my favorite and this location also hit it out of the park. The tacos were stuffed with a generous portion of beef that was well seasoned. The consome was delicious as well.

¡Bienvenida, amigos! The delightful Los Primos in Laurel has a new branch in Beltsville. It took over the space that was previously Beltsville Crab and Seafood, on route 1 in the industrial area between Laurel and Beltsville. The decor and menu are more touristy than the original, but the food is just as good. This store specializes in seafood, and that was my favorite of the four tacos I tried. All the traditional Mexican beverages, but no alcohol. I will note that they have a patio, and there's a liquor store next door. In fact, the Veterans liquor store sign is your landmark since Los Primos is not visible from US 1. Very cordial English speaking service. Mexican music at what they consider moderate level, but a bit loud to my gringo ears. Glad to have them nearby. Cinco *****.
