El Primo Red Taco Review - too Good To Go Miami

1/24/2025

Before sailing on our favorite cruise ship yet, we found ourselves with a few days in Miami.

Miami isn't necessarily the cheapest city to eat in when you're on a shoestring budget so we made great use of TooGoodToGo and Happy Hour Menus to enjoy some of the culinary offerings without completely breaking the bank. Enter El Primo.

El Primo Red Taco in Miami

El Primo Red Tacos is located at 179 E Flagler St in Miami, Florida. A short walk from where we stayed at the Hyatt Regency.

The pick-up window was between 9:30 and 9:45 pm. The restaurant was clearly empty by that point and you can see they offer plenty of seating both inside and outside.

How much is a Margarita in Miami?
Well, at El Primo Red Tacos they are serving $6 margaritas and cerveza (beer) all day, every day!

what we got.

We ordered 2x Surprise bags from El Primo Red Tacos at $5.99 each. Each container had 2 tacos, topped with cilantro and a fresh radish slice as well as some tortilla chips, salsa, and a lime wedge.

We were also surprised to receive agua de horchata x 2!

What we Thought.

It had been such a long time since we had tacos period, that I was so happy to eat these tacos! Even after carrying them back to the hotel they were still so tasty.

Small corn tortillas are my favorite and home made tortilla chips can't be beat! The tacos at El Primo Red Tacos are birria and the only problem that I had with them was I wanted more. lol

The Horchata was unbelievably tasty. Typically made with rice, flavored with cinnamon and sweetened with sugar, this horchata was refreshing and a nice balance to the savory tacos and spicy salsa.

To pay $5.99 in Miami for 2 quality tacos, chips and salsa, and a drink was a great deal!

I could have easily eaten more, but I was happy for the opportunity to try El Primo Red Tacos at a discount while in town and I wouldn't hesitate to return next time I'm in Miami!

It's hard to beat eating tacos with this view of Miami from Hyatt Regency

Rei do Churrasco Quarteira

10/7/2024

0 Comments

Rei do Churrasco is a classic Portuguese Churrasco (barbecue/grill restaurant) in Quarteira - a beach town in Southern Portugal's Algarve.

Learn Portuguese: Rei do Churrasco means King of the Barbecue :)

PSA to Americans, note that when we are talking barbecue in this context, we are not talking about grilled meats lathered in thick sweet, spicy, tangy sauces, we are focused on the grilling cooking method.

Rei do Churrasco - Traditional Madeiran Restaurant in Quarteira, Portugal

Too good to go app - takeaway

We used the food waste prevention app Too Good To Go to get takeaway frango piri-piri (portuguese style grilled chicken with spicy piri-piri peppers).

TooGoodToGo is a great way to save money whether you live in Portugal or are traveling to Portugal (and elsewhere!) as restaurants will list their leftovers at a discounted rate.

2x frango piri piri lunch with fries - €4.99

• Round Aluminum Food Containers

Using the Too Good To Go App in Portugal, we got 2 servings of piri piri chicken and fries for about 5 euros. This was essentially a whole chicken and lots of fries! It was a great value and we enjoyed a nice walk from Vilamoura to pick up this lunch!

Rei do Churrasco Review

A take-away review is rarely a full and fair review of a restaurant, but seeing as we enjoyed our takeaway, it's safe to say we would happily return to Rei do Churrasco in Quarteira - particularly to try their Madeiran specialities!

Too Good To Go Review - Portugal

10/29/2023

2 Comments

TooGoodToGo is a free app designed to prevent food waste by enabling customers to buy a restaurant's left overs at a discount. You reserve a slot and pay in advance. Then, at a designated time you go to the business and show the app to pick up your order. You never know exactly what you will get since it depends on what sold that particular day.

Filed Under: Portugal • Saving Money

TooGoodToGo can be a fun way to prevent food waste, discover new places and save money in Portugal, whether you're here as a tourist or live here. But remember each days offerings are unique and without guarantee, so set your expectations as such that some boxes will be amazing and others just okay. In the end I think it evens out! And you have an opportunity to rate and give feedback regarding the contents of your mystery boxes.

Curious what your box may include? Here are some of our personal real life examples:

Hilton Free Night Award:

Hussel - Too Good To Go Chocolates & Sweets

August 2022
Pickup 12:00-10:00pm
€4.99

Hussel is a German confectionary shop with a location in Portugal at Algarve Shopping in Guia. Our toogoodtogo hussel bag contained a package of 8 truffles, a package of 6 milk chocolate fish, and 250 grams of Baiser-Eier Bunte Schaumzucker-Eier. They are sort of like a large jelly bean, but inside is a not quite marshmallow, foamy sugar center.

Tip: Hussel PT Too Good To Go pick up window is one of the most flexible. If you're at Algarve Shopping in Guia, near Albufeira, go ahead and grab a treat!

Pão do Povo - Too Good To Go Pastry Box

June 2022
Pickup 7:00-9:00pm
€3.99

Pão de Povo is a cash-only restaurant and bakery on the Main Street in Quarteira. The surprise box was loaded with a variety of beautiful pastries definitely past prime.

Tip: If your pastries are past prime, try sticking them in the oven for a bit. It's surprising, but depending on the pastry type, it can make a huge difference!

Vila Galé Marina - Too Good To Go Breakfast Box

June 2022
Pickup 11:30am -12:30pm
€2.99

The pequeno-almoço (breakfast) box from the Vila Galé Marina Hotel was a cake sized box filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, mini hotdogs, assorted rolls, cheese, ham, and a couple of sweet pastries. It was so much food we ate a breakfast meal from it, later took sandwiches to the beach with the rolls/ham/cheese, and still had more bacon left which we sliced finely and fried as toppings for soups salads and other meals the following days!

Tip: There are two Vila Galé Hotels in very close proximity. Be aware that the Vila Galé at the walkway to the beach is not the Marina location. Also, when you do go to the Marina location, we went to the desks where you typically check in to the hotel and they knew right away about the box "Caixa" (ky-shuh).
