“ Stopped by for lunch on a #TacoTuesday and was not disappointed. Got the Tuesday special - 2 tacos for 3 deal, and got a great meal. 2 fish tacos and 2 pork carnitas (not gonna lie, I had to power through the last one as I was super full). It was very good. The salsas were on point. They have free chips to go along with your meal and everything's super flavorful. Definitely recommended. You can't go wrong with tacos. ”
“ I drive past several other places to get the best! I can tell by the way my order is made, who is in the kitchen (no complaints, just consistency). The front of the house is awesome. And my personal opinion is that sometimes the music is a little too loud. The decor, the food, the staff are all awesome! ”
“ We get the Monster Breakfast Burrito regularly. What I love - great friendly service (they know me and my order), AND they handle special requests - my husband likes his with no ham, super crispy bacon and potatoes - and they get it right! (Skip the Los Primos in 4S Ranch) ”
“ The service and food are great in this Bernardo Ctr branch. The Chile Verde...OMG! So good! My family just tried it for the first time here and we ended up ordering a big platter of it along with their awesome carnitas and chicken for our family get together! Everyone loved it! Service was excellent as well! I believe it was Rosarita who helped me with my catering order and she was an absolute sweetheart! She was so helpful in 'catering' to my wishes with regards to altering and or substituting items from the catering menu for me. When I arrived to pick it up she threw in a big platter of free chips with my order, and on top of that, because she and one of the cooks were so thoughtful to ensure that I get the very best, they asked me if it was OK for me to wait a little longer so that the rice I had with my order would be a freshly cooked batch one! I'll have you know that it wasn't them who were late in getting my food ready for me by the time I arrived, it was me who showed up too early. It was totally fine for me to wait, I just went and ran another errand that was close by, so it all worked out! Great job, great team, and of course great food! ”
“ Great authentic food! They just got there margaritas in as well! Great customer support at every turn! Trying to catch the game and have a beer they got a Big Screen TV while you eat! Giant Monster burritos in town! ”
“ I don't know if this is true about all primos but this location offers chips and salsa. You have to go get them yourself and they have utensils for grabbing but it's still a nice touch. I've been to other locations and I don't recall seeing the chips option. Super friendly and hospitable even though I was on my way out so while I waited I grabbed some salsa. ”
“ Use to go here years ago and it's still super good ”
“ Amazing food and so many different types of burritos. ”
