Going back to 2022, Taqueria Los Primos has nine inspections in the public record. The most recent report on file is from Mar 27, 2026. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around five violations to closer to seven violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “equipment in poor repair” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
