Street Tacos of Texas | Street Food Icons

Jose Luis Perez Mendez, better known as El Primo, is king of breakfast tacos in Austin, TX. He’s been selling street tacos for over 14 years in Austin. He sells chorizo, ham, migas and bean and cheese breakfast tacos as well as traditional carne asada, al pastor and barbacaoa street tacos to his clientele in South Austin.
Jose, who came from Michoacan Mexico 28 years ago to make a living in America, describes working at his father’s butcher shop as a kid and how his childhood built his strong work ethic. Jose shares his humor and his love of the United States, and his customers talk about why it’s hard to find a better breakfast taco than El Primo’s.

Beautiful story about hard work

[@romanjaramillo7158]

Beautiful. My dad is from Michoacán Mexico too, and now lives in Chicago. Hardest worker I’ve ever known. Seeing videos like this makes me proud to be Mexican.

This makes me so ducking happy! I used to eat here every morning when I worked across the street back in the day. Wish you more and more success EL PRIMO!! Everyone go eat this man’s food and give him your money!!! ❤️❤️

His last little monologue about chefs going to school, and cooks learning from the streets is one the most accurate things I’ve heard
