Best California Burrito Ever!
As a lifelong resident of San Diego, I was surprised it took me this long to visit Primos. I can confidently say they served me the best California burrito I've ever had in my life. The vibes and environment were great, and the customer service was excellent.
The food itself was simply amazing! The scenery was also a nice touch.

Raw Dough and Terrible Fries
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I ordered the fish tacos, and the tortilla was undercooked. My daughter ordered the carne asada fries, and they tasted horrible.
To top it off, everything was very expensive.

Authentic Mexican Flavors and Great Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the verdadero sabor mexicano (true Mexican flavor) and the chilaquiles verdes were absolutely delicious. I also loved the variety of salsas they offer, including a habanero salsa that was both delicious and spicy.
The excellent attention and kindness of the staff made the experience even better. 👌👌

Wonderful Service and Tasty Bites at Primo's
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ I stopped by Primo’s Mexican Food & Cantina on Friday, October 31st, after a long flight—tired, hungry, and craving something light during happy hour. The service was wonderful! My server seemed a bit busy juggling multiple things at once—pickups, a DoorDash order, and dine-in guests—but she handled it all like a pro.
She was friendly, cordial, and made me feel welcome. I ordered a Chamango, which was delicious (though I didn’t really taste the liquor), and the happy hour taquitos and nachos—both were perfect choices for a light, satisfying bite. Overall, a great experience, tasty food, and a relaxing atmosphere.
Even though I have other plans next time, it’s comforting to know there’s a nice Mexican cantina nearby that I’ll happily return to.

Massive Burritos, Great Tacos!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially regarding the food. The monster burritos are absolutely massive, easily twice the size of those at Chipotle. I opted for the street tacos this time, and they were delicious.
The overall food quality is excellent, as reflected by the perfect 5/5 rating. The service was also top-notch, receiving a 5/5, and the atmosphere was equally impressive with another 5/5. It was a great lunch experience.

Incredible Mexican Food Experience!
I had an absolutely incredible experience at this restaurant! 🌮✨ It's hands down the best Mexican food I’ve had in San Diego. The flavors are fresh, authentic, and packed with love.
The staff makes you feel like family the moment you walk in, and the atmosphere has that perfect balance of fun and welcoming vibes. If you’re craving tacos, enchiladas, or sizzling fajitas, this is the spot. Everything comes out hot and bursting with flavor.
Don’t skip the salsa—it’s homemade and unforgettable! Perfect for family dinners, date nights, or even catering for special events. This place isn’t just food, it’s an experience.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for real Mexican cuisine in San Diego. 🌶️🔥 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Exceptional Service and Top-Notch Food!
My experiences at this Primos are always good, but tonight was truly above and beyond! My friend, visiting San Diego for the first time from NC, found the food to be top notch, as usual. What made the evening exceptional was the service.
The cashier, Jenny, took the time to explain the various menu options, helping my friend find something he would enjoy. Her recommendation, el classico, was perfect! Jenny was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, providing five-star customer service.
Anyone looking for a quick and delicious bite in the area should definitely drop by! The patio is also dog friendly.

Great food, amazing staff!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was delicious, especially the tacos, and they even have deals for certain days. What truly stood out was the service; the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating.
I was short on money, and the sweet woman at the front completed my order without any worries. The atmosphere was also great, rated 5/5, and the food and service were equally impressive with 5/5 ratings.

Quality Down, Prices Up
My experience at this restaurant has been a mixed bag lately. The quality of the food has changed, which is disappointing. While prices have increased, like everywhere else, it would be more acceptable if the quality remained the same.
Despite these changes, the food is still good, and I visit occasionally, though not as frequently as before.
