El Primo is great, I make it a point to get a couple tacos whenever I'm at S. 1st and Live Oak.  The guy is really nice, too.

I used to work in around the corner from this truck and ate there probably 3 times a week.  It was always great. The tortas are super cheap and huge. Al pastor with oc, avocado slices and  hot salsa was my staple. The taco guy is really nice too.

Best Taco Truck in Austin. I know that's saying alot... but you people need to get out to this place and get some real food, dude. I just found out these guys will happily make breakfast tacos for you as well. Cheap and good.. not these $4 and $5 MEGA tacos you get at other places. Lame. For $5 at El Primo you can feed a family of four!Where is it? Just north of Oltorf on South First street. It's in the parking lot of the crappy little convenience store next to the bong/hookah place called 'Red Line' or something. The entire thing is a little creepy.. but the tacos make it all worth it. And don't even THINK of going to the fancy/upscale taco truck across the street.. all clean and white, and twice the size. They're too successful for their own good! ;)The Carne Guisada and Al Pastor Tacos are the way to go in my book... be sure and mention that you'd like the spicy sauce. and Primo will put it right in the meat when it's on the grill. I put lots of lime on mine..  Oh yeah.. cash only.

After what seemed like an eternity of packing, sweating, moving, sweating and unpacking, we were exhausted, starving and craving Mexican food - the real stuff, preferably from a truck.Lo and behold, God gave unto 78704 the gloriousness that is El Primo. Cheap but flavorful and with hefty portions, El Primo keeps it real. The barbacoa tacos are some of the best I've ever had; the tortas giant and satisfying.Next time we're going to branch out and try the sopes, gringas and huaraches. Nom nom.

Stopped by with a buddy who's a regular.  Maybe I should have listened to him and gone with a burrito, but as it was I had two tacos-- one al pastor, one carne asada.  They were both tasty, though I preferred the carne asada. Maybe it was an off day, or maybe I should have ordered differently, but I wasn't blown away.  It was, however, really tasty and cheap.  I picked up the tab for my two tacos and a pair of chicken tacos for my friend and it was only six bucks (well, seven after I threw a buck into the tip jar).  The truck was also really clean.Oh yeah, like other people have noted, the proprietor is incredibly nice.
