Los Primos

The service was great. They have unbelievable prices and the portions were very generous. The quality of the food is far higher then the price charged!

Oh my. If you are traveling west of Knoxville on I-​40, make it a point to stop here for a meal. Service is fast and friendly and the food is great. My wife had the Carne Asada tacos, and I had some tacos with steak, bacon, grilled onions and grilled pineapple. Both were excellent.

Lunch prices are extremely reasonable. $ 7.50 for lunch fajitas and they were not a tiny portion!

We had a great meal at Los Primos. There were 8 of us and we were looking for a place in between where all of us could meet, eat and talk. This was where we decided and what a good choice it was.
The server was very good and so was the food. Out of the 8 of us, only one wasn’t thrilled with the food but we think it was mainly because of a preference to sauce. I can’t say the Mexican food was the best we’ve ever had but it was pretty darn good. However, the bean dip we ordered to go along with our chips was probably the best we had every had.
Our orders ranged from enchiladas to chimichangas to fajitas and even nachos. There was a pretty good selection served at our table. Over all, it was good. We have no complaints and would definitely return.
Then, there was the price … CHEAP
PS – We loved the décor too!

From 10yrs of experience in the restaurant industry I can be very understanding, however it’s pretty hard to fuck up quick trash mex and remarkably they succeeded. From not knowing what cholula was, tables ordering after us and leaving much earlier, my very uncomplicated order that only included a request for no lettuce and had to be repeated twice, and my boyfriends tacos getting cold after asking for hot sauce three times we were extremely disappointed. When I sent my food back because (shocker) it had lettuce all over it we watched as the front of house and kitchen staff laughed it off and brought me back my food that still had traces of lettuce in the rice and on my enchiladas. Extremely poor service who don’t truly care about repeat business. Only eat here if Cracker Barrel and Ruby Tuesday are on a 30+ minute wait, or better yet a diet coke at the McDonald’s across the street would be probably best if you can’t completely avoid this area.

Great food, had fajitas texanas, waiter was not very attentive, sizzling fajitas came and had to ask several minutes later for my set up plate. Food was hot, portion was over the top and tasty

Outstanding, authentic, dirt cheap.

Good food but to be honest I can make better salsa call me if you need the recipe people lol 882‑2534

We recently moved to Kingston and found this gem just two exits west of us. The service is great, the chips and salsa are delicious, the margaritas are SO good, and the food is amazing. I got fried shredded chicken chimichangas and my daughter got shrimp quesadillas. Lots of food at a reasonable price, can’t wait to go back.

We never miss this restaurant when traveling east on I 40 from Nashville. Fresh, fresh, fresh! Even the salsa, which is superb. Break away from beef/​pork. Try their fish tacos, shrimp quesadilla or shrimp chimichanga. The service efficient and friendly. The restaurant is clean and attractive. Easy access from and to I 40.

I live in a nearby city and eat here several times a month. The food is always good and the service is also good. I cannot recall in all the times I have eaten here ever having a bad experience.

This place was horrible. The food is old and told the manager and he didn’t care to help not make any changes. I do not recommend anyone to eat here. Doesn’t even deserve half a start.

DELICIOUS food! Everything tasted fresh. The place was packed! We are visiting in Rockwood for a week, and have eaten here twice already as a family. Food is fabulous and the staff are friendly. Colorful decorating.

I would only eat here again if I was starving! They had horrible chips and salsa, poor service, and mediocre food! Go here only if you want a terrible meal!

Los Primos needs more reviews, so here’s another. If my wife was the one reviewing, you’d see 6 stars up here, because she says it is the greatest Mexican food she’s ever had, and she says it with no exaggeration. She ordered a steak that was just out of this world, and the refried beans were the best we’ve ever had (yes, apparently there are different ways to make refried beans, I was surprised too).
My beef tips were also pretty delicious, although I was disappointed that they didn’t come with rice and beans.
I don’t know what it is about east-​coast Mexican food that seems to make bean dip and a salsa bar mandatory, but I’m starting to get used to it.

Margaritas good and cheap. Mondays through thursdays 2 dollars and 75. Salsa fresh and delicious. Fajitas sizzling. A pleasant surprise in this part of the world
