Mom and I went to lunch here today.. I always have liked the atmosphere, a bar area and a few booths. Clean restroom. Friendly enough staff and you can watch them cook your meal. I chose this today because I am short on time and patience as of now and parking is easy and Mexican sounded good but mom doesn't like your typical taqueria, she likes the more restaurant feel. All of that was great! I was going to order soup here which I understand is fantastic! For some reason I ditched my plan and ordered chili rellenos. Me and mom both love chili rellenos, unfortunately these were pretty gross. Small ass chili in a boat load of breading that was soggy as could be. Beans and rice were good. 4.95 for my Pacifco beer (much needed). Chips and salsa complimentary and on point. We will return but I will order off the lunch menu. read more

I came here so hungry so I thought. I ordered Chile verde. It was good. I never had soup like Chile verde. My wife had a chicken enchilada and she said hers was good. The best part was the friendly staff. Nice beautiful ladies. My dogs were happy to sit with us. I would come again and try the carne asada. read more

Great service, good food, and the restaurant itself was very comfortable, clean and cozy. I'd go there again.

Food was ok. A lot of oven heated dishes. Service was ok. Wait or seemed rushed all of the time and never checked in us. Had to be flagged to come over twice. I wouldn't go again. read more

Still a 5 for me! My new favorite item is the spicy chicken soup....so amazing! I would even have it in the dead of summer. The Pozole is really good too. read more

This is a pretty decent little restaurant. It kind of reminds me of Los Cerros in El Sobrante. In fact, I could probably write mostly the same review for both places. Like Los Cerros, La Primavera is a homey place with solid food. Nothing to scream over...just tasty, simple, stick-to-your-ribs food. I brought my parents here over the weekend and nervously experienced the restaurant through them. You know how it is...when you take someone to eat you feel personally responsible over whether they enjoy the food. My dad is picky and my mom is hard to please. Kinda-sorta the same thing but manifested differently. My dad will quietly point out to us what he doesn't like then put on a long face and pick at the food, while my mom will not hesitate to make a big stink with the waitstaff. Well, the only complaint they had at La Primavera was that we didn't have a dedicated waitperson, which caused some confusion while the various meal components were being brought to the table. My dad loved his tostada salad. It's been a while since I saw him eat with such relish, which made me very happy. My mom ordered the carne asada plate and devoured her food as well. They both commented on how fresh everything was, even pointing out the bright and unblemished cilantro in the table salsa. I had the green enchiladas with cheese. I have a complaint about those...there was too much cheese! I know, I know...who complains about too much cheese?! It's a good problem to have. Hours later at home, my parents were both still talking about their meal and how much they enjoyed it. Happy parents = 4 strong stars. read more

Still one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Martinez! The food is as good as my moms! Totally authentic! It does get hot inside try to sit outside early in the day or late evening during this heat wave! Through the years i have tried many dishes and they are all awesome. Anything you choose you will definately enjoy! They have mexican music playing if your outside. Indoors there is a huge tv usually on sports! read more

We ordered the Mexican nachos, asada fries, and two chicken burritos. The food was good with the exception of the sauce that was on the burritos. We like wet burritos but for some reason the sauce that was on these burritos had a bad aftertaste. It was to the point that my wife didn't even eat her burrito. The rest of the food was good. read more

The food is good. The service is ok. The store is small, but they have a patio that has coverage, which is nice

Awesome service & freshly prepared. Great for lunch & work orders Outside sitting ava8 read more

The carne asada burrito was amazing - the best I've had in a while. The wait staff was also friendly

Come in at least once a week for the Taco Salad with chicken. Always big chunks of shredded chicken! Fresh produce as always in my salad with guac and sour cream. Come in for a really affordable lunch between 11-3 typically under $10. Breakfast is always good too! read more

It was a while ago that I was there but it was slim on ingredients and very bland and just unmemorable. I just never had the inclination to return for a second chance. read more

La Primavera- no it's not an Italian restaurant with pasta. If anything it's quite the authentic Mexican fiesta that you can ask for. From the murals, to the music, to the menu, and Michelada - this Martinez spot is a great one to visit. You might miss it along the drive or walk, but stop in. Amazing staff and a great menu of breakfast and lunch/dinner to keep you coming back. read more

Wow!! Better bring backup when you eat here. The burrito is so massive and delicious that your buddy will be both full and grateful. I surely am that I did. Delicious!! Thanks ladies, Yummy. Perfect for take out or quiet date gentlemen! Hint hint!! read more

Best Mexican food in the area. All authentic and home-made recipes. Great service. Takeout is great too. read more

My experience was okay but I wish menudo had more flavor it was very bland no taste at all. At least chili oil was extremely hot to me. I needed oregano instead of cilantro & lot of salt also lot of lime to give some flavor. I give the menudo a 1 just because tripe was tender. My drink was good, I like it. Don't get wrong probably the rest of other meals on the menu would been better, but my experience with menudo that I ate. I probably won't come back to this restaurant. The service was great very friendly, seating area I give it a 3. Overall okay read more

Quite simply the best breakfast burrito in the Concord/Pleasant Hill/Martinez/Walnut Creek/Lafayette sector of the East Bay (and I think I've tried dang near all of them all this point lol). But that's not all. The lunch/dinner options are off the hook as well, with my personal faves being the chicken and carne asada crunchy tacos (perfectly crisped shells, combinacion fajitas and the chimichangas. Divine. All of it. Go here NOW!!! read more

Their food is delicious!! Fantastic!! I had their menudo ( Excellent!!!!) and beef soup w veggies ( delightful ) totally recommend it!!! Service is excellent and friendly!! read more

Was working in Martinez and decided to explore this lovely town. What a find "La Primavera" is! The food is Authentic Mexican, no Tex mex or other concoctions. This is the real deal!

La Primavera Restaurant - Half eaten La Primavera Shrimp Fajitas aka bacon wrapped shrimp in a love sauce...it's delicious - Mexican Near Me - Martinez, California

Ordered my food 1hr in advance so they can have it ready. Got there and they just stared at me running up and down everyone that came after me got there order and I still stood for 30 minutes waiting and the woman's there where just blaming each other asked for a manager was told not available. While waiting I noticed they weren't even cooking food they just served cooked food and put in a tray run it thru an oven to reheat it. Never seen anyone cooking at all. Just realized that is not fresh made food and for the price the service not worth it I left! I would not even give it a star! Horrible safe your money on reheated food but if you like that that would be the place! read more

Our family has been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years now. Growing up on Mexican food, I was spoiled in SF with the variety of options and this restaurant has in all honesty surpassed any Mexican food I've had in the city. From the moment you walk in, you can feel and smell the authenticity. It's as if you're taken back to Mexico. The food is always served, fresh, hot and with a smile. The servers are always moving, remember our names and even orders which makes you feel more like family than an average customer. The enchiladas verdes and pozole are both top notch! My daughter scarfed down her fajitas before I could photograph but those are probably my favorite item here. What tops off all of the dishes is their hand made fresh corn tortillas. You can see the worker pressing them and rolling them and it's pretty mesmerizing to watch. Not ordering those with any dish is a crime in and of itself. For authentic, great tasting Mexican food- this is the spot! read more

My weakness is Mexican food and this place definitely reminds me of my moms home cooking. Now, the only dish I ever order here is their Caldo de res (beef stew). It's the best stew I've had and its flavors are has authentic has it gets. Their stew has chunks of beef, chayote, carrots, lettuce, green beans, corn on the cob and you garnish it with cilantro, onions and lime. It's served with a side of rice and home made corn tortillas. I just dump my rice in the bowl. I also order a michelada with a modelo beer. They add Clamato juice, lime and add a spicy Tajín on the rim with a tamarind stick that has Chile and salt. It's a great addition to the michelada. read more

A restaurant with table service. We enjoyed the food, ambiance and service. We will be back.

Service: 2 stars Food: 3 stars Value: 4 stars The best things about La Primavera are the homemade tortillas. They were delicious but between our two orders they gave us 5 tortillas. Odd. The meat in the combo fajitas was dry but the beef birria was very tender and tasty. the rice and beans were ok. The micheladas were disappointing, almost watery. read more

BEWARE! THEY'LL OVERCHARGE YOU SO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR TRANSACTION. THEN THEY'LL TELL YOU TO CALL YOUR BANK TO DISPUTE IT BC ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. UPLOADED PICTURE OF TRANSACTION. I found out this place overcharged us. I always order their beef vegetable soup ($13.95) and an horchata ($5+ some change) which averages out with taxes is 19.88. My bf went and paid with cc and signed the receipt. Scribbled out the tip line. When I asked him out how much he showed me on the account that they charged $23.86- I was so confused? For one soup and a drink no way. So I called immediately and asked for the prices. I waited out of courtesy for the owner so I can talk to him. Now 5 bucks isn't a big deal but imagine how many ppl this happened to. Clearly I showed him the transaction - and what I ordered plus the signed receipt on their end. Obviously someone must have hit something BECAUSE THE CHARGE WAS THE SAME AMOUNT SUGGESTED If you were to leave 20% gratuity. How convenient much. Now I know when things get busy ppl make mistakes- if they had apologized and said I must have hit it I would have shrugged my shoulders and say it's fine keep it just be careful next time BUT let me tell you how they handled it. I called and the gal that answered told me to call back bc she was busy. I said Uhhh no you overcharged me don't ignore me. Then I asked for the owner and ended up talking to the manager. SHOWED HIM everything and this is what he says- NOT OUR PROBLEM SO CALL YOUR BANK AND DEAL WITH IT. SO YOUR SYSTEM AND BUSINESS OVERCHARGES PPL AND ITS NOT YOUR PROBLEM?? To have the bank deal with it but YOU STILL POCKET THE MONEY?? No no no. I told him that it's not about the 5 dollars it's about how he handles it and it's not okay to overcharge ppl. I come here all the freakin time! He just said call your bank. Im not having my bank pay me back something that you took. You still pocket the money and someone else has to pay for your mistake. I'll definitely go out of my way to tell ppl. So disgusting how he doesn't care if his system overcharges you and for you to call your bank. No integrity whatsoever and I wouldn't put it pass them if they did this to numerous ppl. Get a new manager. Definitely going to report this place. I can't stand ppl who can't own up to mistakes. read more

Ok Ok, I know I have a lot of favorites when it comes to Mexican food!! But hands down this is the best spot in northern California! The place looks like a hole in the wall. Boy can looks be deceiving! Lets start with the awesome staff. They are polite, friendly, and definitely love what they do! Lets move on to the atmosphere. The inside is quaint, with wonderfully painted murals on the walls. Everything is clean and the silverware is spotless. Now lets move on to the FOOD. Oh wow! The salsa is delicious with two options of just the right heat and flavor. the tortillas are freshly made and the corn tortillas are the best I have ever had! My boyfriend had the combination fajitas, they steak was amazing! I had the chile relleno and WOW! The beer came in a frosted glass and was ice cold. The chips had a nice crunch and zero grease. I could go on and on, but my best advise TRY it for yourself! If you are a local you probably already know! If you are from out of town GO! If you want a great place and you live in Contra Costa County, this is it. read more
