Primecut Taqueria

A block up 5th Street at The Strand, Primecut is our go-to answer when someone in the chair asks where to grab tacos downtown. The meats are the star here, cut and grilled with real care, and the tortillas hold up to a walk back toward the beach.

The carne asada is the benchmark order, and a pair of tacos with a drink lands right in the sweet spot between snack and commitment. Ask what is coming off the grill; the answer is usually the right call.

It is quick, casual, and close enough to squeeze in before or after your appointment without rushing. The taco run and the clean short haircut share a virtue: done properly, neither one needs to take your whole afternoon.
