EL PRIMO PLAZA

Two visits, two home runs. A group of us ordered various items and everything we had was fantastic. The steak was surprisingly flavorful and well prepared. The enchiladas and tacos, were all on point. The atmosphere adds an authentic touch to the meals. Special shout out to our waiter, Alex, whose suggested meals haven’t missed yet. Wonderful hole in the wall type spot that you might walk right by if you don’t know about it.

So happy I found this place!! Being from southern California and living there for 36 years I know authentic Mexican food. This one is THE BEST! The food was absolutely amazing. I can’t tell you how many times my eyes got wide after taking a bite of all the food we ordered, just delicious!! Birria tacos and chicharron with guacamole and salsa was absolutely amazing!! We also tried their agua fresca- horchata and pineapple; and all of their tres leches cakes. I want to try all of the desserts lol. Their pan dulce is awesome as well, goes great with coffee! We also bought a lot of Mexican candy from the store side and outside we got the mixed fruit with chamoy, lime, and tajin; also a coconut water with coconut meat.

Food was so delicious!! It’s amazing every single time I go. Staff is so nice, never a long wait for the food either

I love this restaurant. Every time I go, I look forward to their delicious food and having Alexis as my waiter. He’s so kind and always helps me with the menu. His recommendations are always spot on! Someone give this man a raise for dealing with customers like me! lol He’s patient and always willing to help this gringa out! I can’t say enough good things about this place, Alexis, the atmosphere, the food, the mini mart, and the bakery. El Primo is a hidden gem and I’m glad I found it.

Great food and awesome atmosphere. It was a little confusing figuring out the restaurant since there's no clear area to wait. I eventually just sat down and someone came over in a bit. Service wasn't very fast but they were really nice. Food tasted great. It wasn't cheap ($16 plus tax for chicken chimichanga) but the portion sizes were excellent, so I can't complain. The chips had a unique type of sauce that sets them apart from the generic chips and red salsa. My main issue is they had plastic cups for water and plastic cutlery. I wish they would use reusable glasses and cutlery, just seems kind of wasteful. But not a huge deal overall. I still recommend checking this place out for the cool atmosphere! FYI, the restaurant closes an hour earlier than the rest of the store.
