Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Holy Schnikies! Aye caramba! It's a two hour drive for me to get to this joint/dive. And worth it. Our party of 5 recently stopped by for the 1st Friday scene in downtown. For a backwater, they do a pretty good job on a 1st Friday party. Especially loved the Porsche Owners Car Club and Show on the Square - but I digress... It's snug. Not tiny, but small and snug. Apparently, there is a gastronomic mexacali freaking GENIUS [nom-de-grill] named Chef Lopez that runs this place - hiding behind a non-descript exterior on a corner just a block NE of the courthouse. (***Thanks to the Yelp nation for putting this on the radar***) So, we've got 5 of us incl. 2 vegetarians. The less adventurous at the table stick to traditional stand-bys; chimichangas, burritos (1 a crazy hot burrito), nachos, tostadas - normal TexMex fare, and they are a happy. The foodies among us, incl me, tackle the cabeza (beef cheeks) and lengua (tongue)in traditional tacos and torta forms. My uninitiated wife immediately pronounces the cabeza as 'wonderful, delicious'. I would add soulful, divine, and 'melt in your mouth'. Probably the best torta I've ever had ($5.50), and the cabeza was front and center stage. On the side - a lengua taco. Geez, I hate to complain about there being too much meat, but it was really piled on (for a $1.50!!). AND, apparently there is always Horchata or another agua fresca at hand served as the perfect buttress to my wonderful meal. (mexican sodas are prevalent too) Unless you're ordering a few inexpensive tacos, tostadas or tortas - expect your bill for full plates to be about $10/head incl drink. It was VERY busy, and the kitchen was certainly backed up and slower than I expected - but it was solidly worth the wait. Our server was very helpful and sweet. We're going back soon for their take on Cuban Ropa Vieja!! And the cabeza.

We decided to ditch the offerings on the indiana toll road and head to Los Primos as recommended on Yelp. Well worth the detour. I had the fish taco plate special. The fish was just a little crunchy on the outside, the tortillas were tasty, all the flavors melded into a delicious entree. Nice service, too. It is a very small place and a lot of people seemed to do carry out but there are tables to sit at.

Incredible. I had 3 tacos. Steak, chicken, and ground beef. All 3 were great. Make sure you add the hot sauce. Best Mexican food in Goshen I've had.

MUY BUENO!!!!!!!!!!!Did I die and just go to Mexico? Authentic Mexican food at it's best.....I love Mexican food and would like to believe I got a pretty good palate when it comes to Mexican food ....Coming here for the first time I fell in love ......The food was fresh and absolutely delicious ......They offers many more choices than most Mexican restaurants and very reasonably priced .......If you are looking for "free" chip refills, syrup poured in a carbonated water machine soda and cheap bang for your buck food there is a Hacienda close by and if you want you can make the drive to Margaritas in Middlebury .....but if you love food like I do stop here and don't worry about chip refills and fill up on great food and wash it down with a authentic soda made with sugar ....A meal just the way it suppose to be

After reading the Elkhart Truth reviews I was excited to try this remodeled restaurant. The drinks are non-fountain and you pay by the can or bottle consumed. No complimentary Chips & Salsa. The salsa is provided in very small amounts, but cost $2 per serving. However, Excellent salsa! It does offer a unique menu experience vs other local Mexican menus. However, Margaritas Restaurant in Middlebury offers a better value for the money.

I've enjoyed all the meals I've eaten here so far. Being a vegetarian there aren't too many options but enough to keep me satisfied. I always order the chascas (stewed corn with mayo, cojita cheese and chili powder) and use mass amounts of the green sauce they bring out to you. I have been here only three or four times but it is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. The staff are very nice and accommodating. I wanted a vegetarian torte and they happily made me one while asking exactly what I wanted on it.

A great little place for authentic Mexican food. The Fish Taco dinner was one of the specials - very tasty! My wife had a Chicken Burrito Supreme, also very good. She noted how tasty the flour tortilla was.
(5)Melody F.
It's a little hole-in-the-wall place, but the food is super fantastic. The chicken in particular is amazing.

i stopped here on Saturday based on the high rating by Yelp reviewers & they got it right. Quality, authentic Mexican food with plenty of choices and a number of specials. I had the Aztec Burrito which is made with chirizo, cactus, bell peppers and onions which was delicious and plenty filing. Chips and salsa unpon being seated and a very pleasant server made for a perfect choice to eat when travelling thru Goshen. Count me in as a well-fed and satisfied customer.

We came to Goshen for a night and decided to try Los Primos. I am half-Mexican and have traveled in Mexico...and from my experience, I was very impressed with the freshness, authenticity, and quality of the food. We ordered maiz with mayonnaise, cheese, and seasoning (chascas) as an appetizer which was scrumptious. I ordered a vegetarian burrito, which to my delight, had eggs as a protein source! The refried beans and rice were delicious. I tried my partner's fish tacos which were one of the best I've ever tasted, soft/tender - and not fishy at all! The service was very friendly. I have to say, that this restaurant out-cooks many I've tasted in larger cities like Chicago and St. Louis...because freshness & authenticity make a difference in the quality of food!

¡Qué ricos tostadas de camarón! This place has insanely awesome, authentic Mexican. I had a Jarritos and tostada de camarón and I think I forgot to breathe while eating; it was delicious. Anyone who complains about the drink selection or value can steer clear, we don't want you here anyway - when I walk in and I'm the only gringo, I consider that a good sign. This place is for people who want a casual place they can eat great, authentic food for a very reasonable price.
(5)Deanna Beth C.
The food is so delicious you don't mind the small dining area. What it lacks in ambience it makes up for with quality, friendliness and authenticity. Carne asada Is my favorite.
(4)Betty E.
Food was good. Service was terrible. A huge disappointment after reading the reviews. Everything was an extra and sad to get your tortillas long after your frittata food and then had to wait for a plate. Then a long wait to be checked out. Definitely not on our repeat list.

Stopped in for lunch on a Monday while in Goshen as a part of a Shipshewana-centered 3-day trip. I was with my grandparents, and my grandpa isn't into super authentic Mexican (or anything.) I didn't really read the reviews before going here.. we were kind of in a rush because we had tried to go to several other regular American places but they were all closed Mondays. Upon seeing the building, I was slightly comforted for my grandpa's sake, because it didn't seem "sketchy" or anything. When we walked in, I could immediately tell that it was very authentic...good for me, bad for him? There were a lot of menu items that I rarely see in Indiana or the Midwest as a whole...including a few things I've never seen at all! I tried to hastily look up a few items that weren't among the conveniently pictured dishes featured in photos on the walls, and I just ended up getting something interesting after the waitress failed to really answer what these one tacos were like...I ordered the potato tacos (don't recall the exact name). My grandpa had the same...I told him to get flautas because I knew that was "safe" but he just went with the potato thing. They weren't really "tacos" in the typical sense...they were more of a fork-and-knife affair. They were fried and were small, sort of more like an empanada. They were stuffed with none other than instant mashed potatoes (or at least they seemed to be). They were actually pretty good...they hit the ticket for being something I'd never had before, even if they were just instant potatoes. My grandma also said her enchiladas were good. The chips are good too, clearly made in-house, but $1 extra...probably worth it. Overall, this wasn't the best Mexican I've had in Indiana by any stretch, but it intrigued me. I'd really like to come back and try something else...there were tons of things that appealed to me and several interesting items that I wanted to try. I'd have better luck bringing back my dad...he's all about the authentic Mexican food scene.

I am often excited about going out to eat. I am rarely as excited when I finish. Los Primos had me more excited at the end than when I started. :D I have been told that there is no place in Goshen that could compete with the Mexican food in Chicago. I would offer that Los Primos may be it. They have a much more diverse menu than most other Mexican places though I have not yet strayed from the typical taqueria fare. That is because it is almost a crime to pass up their tacos al pastor. This pastor the way it is meant to taste. It has depth of flavor. It is cooked long enough to develop the charred and caramelized flavors characteristic of the dish. Also, it has pineapple chunks mixed in with the meat. Most restaurants settle for pineapple juice or nothing at all. These things are seriously delicious! Their steak tacos were also cooked appropriately. I believe Los Primos cooks much of their meats at the time of order. Many other places will pre-cook the asada and then warm your tortillas and assemble at the time of order. I do not know what the prep process at Los Primos is, but it takes longer to get your food than some other places and the results are evident. I have been to Los Primos twice before, but this time the quality had been seriously stepped up. I hope it is permanent (or I would have to alter this glowing review...). The salsa is not overly impressive, but if you are going there for chips then you are missing the point to begin with. Give this place a try. It is a keeper. **Edit** I have returned to this place numerous times since my original review. It is rather hit or miss. Still very good, but I have caldo de camarones that was really pretty shameful. Tacos al pastor are still my favorite in town. Sometimes the meat is nicely charred and flavorful. Sometimes it it just fine. Basically, things are not consistent, but I still have a soft place for their food.

Amazing food slow service but worth the wait.

I've recent been looking for a good Mexican restaurant, and I think I've finally found a keeper. This place is small, and can be easy to miss, but as soon as I walked in the door, my thought was "Wow, this place smells delicious." There aren't a whole lot of seats, maybe ten tables or so, but it also wasn't incredibly busy, so no big deal. I ordered a chimichanga and sweet tea and later ordered some fried plantains. Everything (except the iced tea) came out very hot and was very tasty. The plantains could have probably used a little powdered sugar, but all in all were very tasty. This is of course a first impression, but I'll definitely be going back to try other things. Among them, the Horchata looked very good, and on Friday/Saturday there is a special for menudo which I'd like to try. Also, as a bonus, the sweet tea was served with fresh lime which was a nice touch and added flavor.

I don't believe my previous review of Los Primos did them justice. I have been back countless times for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The more I explore the menu the happier I am with their gastronomic offerings. There is the standard taqueria offering but even the depth of the choices there-within surpass the other local joints. Steamed and stewed beef is usually only available on weekends and lamb is incredibly hard to come by if at all. Guess what Los Primos offers both all the time not to even mention the cabeza(cow cheeks) that is worth falling in love with over and over again every time it's ordered and consumed. Now allow us to venture in to the Cuban selections like La Ropa Vieja platter or the Pollo Cubano which are always up to par if not going for eagle. Given our area lacks any true Cuban restaurants Los Primos' offerings are the best to be found in the Michiana area. How can someone not love fried plantains and bananas once they've been tried. With all the above being said you would thing I could not heap anymore praise upon this place but, guess what? I am not close to being done. The special burrito menu and other non traditional items are where Chef Lopez(not directly associated with the man, it's on the sign) truly begins to stretch his legs. Chorizo, nopales, and serrano chiles all in a burrito? Check! Goat with ranchera sauce burrito? You bet your sweet ass it is on the menu. I hope my point here is getting made. The man has taken Mexican staples and reimagined them. The Swiss enchiladas remain one of my favorite indulgences here. Hell, if you want to take your kids here he even has a chicken nugget burrito. There are plenty of good Mexican places in Chicago but I have yet to find one that can stray from the traditional and have it turn out so well. The positives consistently outweigh the few negatives(there are rarely any in a visit) of Los Primos and in all my travels I have never come upon a place that has consistently impressed me everytime. No matter where I go and what I am doing I will always have to come home for the best Mexican food I have ever had.

Pretty much the best Mexican in Goshen. Chef Lopez cooks some amazing food. My personal favorite is the burrito Azteca. It is stuffed with sautéed cactus and is terrific.
(5)Kiarash Z.
Aside from a wonderful $1 taco special on Tuesday night, Los Primos offers a delicious take on ropas viejas Cubano ($8.50 and enough to feed two): rice, black beans, shredded beef and fried bananas with your choice of flour or corn tortillas and a fresh, tasty salsa.
