Our Story

Born in Monterrey,
Raised in Austin.

El Primo de Monterrey started with one simple belief: the best food is the kind that makes you feel like you're at the family table. Our recipes come straight from Monterrey — no shortcuts, no compromises.

Every mole is ground from scratch. Every tortilla is pressed by hand. Every dish carries the same warmth and intention that our abuelas put into theirs. We bring those flavors to Austin because this city deserves food that feels like home — even if home is 800 miles away.

Located just off I-35, we're your stop for honest, bold Mexican food that doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is: real, made with care, and worth the drive.
