It had been too long since I visited this place! It was really busy on a Friday night and you will see why! We sat on the back patio since it was pretty packed inside but the weather was great! I got the frozen house margarita which didn't disappoint. Instead of chip and salsa when you come in, you get a basket of chicharrones. We also got the dip sampler because you can't never go wrong with it! Then, the difficult task to pick a main dish! They have a fun selection of uncommon dishes which is super cool. My friend got the Birria ramen and loves it! I tried the broth and it was super flavorful. My husband got the Pittsburgh burrito which has fries inside. He said the fries in it were so good! My vegetarian friend got a solid mushroom taco and then got a little wild and got the cactus taco! I tried it and it was super good! I was a little more classic and got a Birria and a Al pastor taco. Both were really good and good amount of meat in them. I also got rice and beans and as you can see, it was a generous serving! I will be back much sooner than next time! Such a fun place in this part of town. They are definitely trying to be a little different from the average Mexican place. read more

First time trying Primo's and it definitely won't be my last. I had the Grand Margarita, choriqueso, Al Pastor taco, Campechano taco, and tres leches cake, and everything was excellent. As someone who's tried most of the major Mexican restaurants around the Pittsburgh area, Primo's easily tops them all. It was honestly some of the best Mexican food I've had in and around Pittsburgh. read more

This spot was good. Nicely done up inside, friendly service, and good tasting food. Well definitely have to keep in mind next time I'm in the area to try something different from the menu. read more

Authentic Mexican food that tastes amazing. No free chips and salsa but they have these wheels that taste like veggie straws. The chimichanga amazing and so filling. read more

I didn't expect to be in West Mifflin because frankly, I had never heard of this Pittsburgh suburb. However, due to a weather-related glitch on my trip, I found myself staying overnight at the neighboring Holiday Inn Express and wondering where to have dinner. I suppose I could've driven somewhere, but I noticed this roadside Mexican spot was a quick stroll away albeit next to an unlit highway. Speed demons made the darkened walk feel somewhat hazardous, but I was relieved when I found the restaurant bustling with young married couples and kids. The bar was also busy with a lot of denim and plaid among the patrons. As a solo diner, I felt conspicuous since I was seated at the most visible table. The veteran waitress left me a menu and a basket of Mexican puffed wagon wheel chips (Photo 8). Reminding me of Funyuns, I pushed most of them aside because I wasn't a family of four. The menu listed all the familiar gut-busting Mexican favorites you'd expect at a place like this. I decided on the $17 Pollo Cancun because I saw grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, and cauliflower in the description. What I conveniently ignored was the phrase, "bathed with white queso dip". What arrived was a bubbling pool of melting cheese in a cast-iron pan topped with a few broccoli and cauliflower florets. The chicken was flattened and still cooking underneath the cheese (Photo 9). There was a separate plate for the Mexican rice (Photo 6), and another one for the iceberg lettuce, tomato slice, sour cream, and three warm flour tortillas wrapped in foil (Photo 10). When I saw all three plates on my table, I was overwhelmed, but I assume the portions are the big draw here. Once I got my routine down of assembling my tacos, they were pretty good. I wish the chicken was fresher but otherwise it was quite edible. My favorite part of the meal though was the $11 Sangria Margarita, a frozen margarita topped off with their house sangria (Photo 5). Simple but it worked. FOOD - 4 stars...better than I expected for family-style Mexican AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...very bright, kinda loudish SERVICE - 4 stars...Rebecca came like clockwork TOTAL - 4 stars...my best meal in West Mifflin, also probably my only one...unless I make it to Kennywood RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?

I just dined at Primo's for the second time. It was just as delicious as the first and the service equally as good. This time I ordered a steak and chorizo burrito. It was sooo good! Perfect amount of everything and it came out of the kitchen so fast. This is our new go to restaurant. read more

Highly recommend the Pittsburgh burrito! The meal was delicious and promptly. I love the bright paint colors and artwork.

Great food. Great spot. We had a nice birthday dinner here for my partners mothers birthday. We had a group of 11 of us and Alicia took care of us like a pro. I highly recommend the queso blanco! The grilled chicken quesadilla was great too. If I lived here I would be a regular. Thanks again Alicia. Thanks for making this birthday for her memorable! read more

I have driven passed here so many times and never had the chance to stop. For some reason I thought this place would be more dive bar-y inside but I was shocked to see how beautiful the interior was. There were only a few other tables dining. We were quickly seated and presented with complimentary chicharrones. The food was so, so good and FRESH. I can't wait to go back for dinner and try some of the chefs specialties. read more

I was there a month ago and ordered the tacos and Mexican rice. We had a group of five people. It took over 45 minutes to get our food (the restaurant was not that busy). I had to order tomato on the side which was an additional charge. It did not come with sour cream. I ended up with the cyclosporin stomach bug and was ill for several days. I called the restaurant to let them know what happened. The girl who answered the phone was very apologetic and promised the owner/ manager would call me back. I never received a call back. I filed a complaint with the Allegheny Health Department and was the 12th person to complain about food borne illness that month. Finally the health department got back to me after 30 days and are investigating. Hopefully the health inspection will make the necessary changes to serve safe food at proper temperatures. read more

Had a great experience at Primo's! It was my first time visiting and was impressed with the value of the food, the friendly staff, quick service, and atmosphere. Instead of a chips and salsa, chicharrones are provided for the table. They are a good snack before getting your meal. There is an extensive menu of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. I tried the Horchata and it was delicious. I personally ate the Fried Chimichanga with shredded beef for my meal, and it was tasty! The queso was good and the sides of beans, rice, lettuce, and tomato complimented the main dish well. The food came out very fast after ordering. I ordered the Chori Pollo to go, and it was good and held up well to travel. I believe on the menu it says that entree should have queso, however there was no queso on the meal. Regardless it tasted great! The server I had was very friendly and kind. She answered any questions I had and gave suggestions when I asked! This is, in my opinion, the best valued Mexican food in the area. The prices were extremely fair, especially considering the food received. Will definitely be back to try a burrito and some of the appetizers! read more

The interior was nice, though it was pretty empty when I went (early in the day). Food was pretty good, though most of it was nothing exceptional- weirdly this is the only casual Mexican place I've been to that did not offer chips and salsa but opted for some sort of wagon wheel chips? Crackers? Some weird thing. Perhaps they're a specialty I've never heard of but they were unpleasant in terms of texture and just above communion wafer in terms of flavor. The hero of this meal was the shrimp street taco, which was so far and away flavorful when compared to the middling other fare that it deserves a visit just to try it. I'm not sure if I would try anything else on the menu, but even as an out of towner I'd make a special trip just for that shrimp! Truly delicious! read more

I wanted to try a restaurant that I haven't been to before. I came to Primo's tacos and tequila. The ambiance is nice. Great selection on the menu. I ordered the dip sampler and it was good, I especially enjoyed the cheese dip. I ordered the fajita combo with chicken and shrimp. It was seasoned, hot and fresh. I will be coming back again. This great meal was capped with fried ice cream. Yum! read more

We heard about this place from friends and the Yelp reviews looked fantastic so we gave it a try. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere was really warm and welcoming with bright colors. We were taken to a nice sized booth right away and got our order in. The puffy chips came for free. We also ordered chips with dips but honestly they were different but also tasty. The meals we got were HUGE. The Primo burritos - I maaaaaybe ate 1/3 of it and I'm still stuffed 2.5 hours later. The cocktails menu looked great - we will try those next time. The absolute only complaint is that it's on a divided road so to go back toward the Century 3 area, we had to find a place to turn. I'm not letting it affect my rating though because it was THAT good. read more

Good service. Good food. Nice deck. We will be back to try some other items off the menu.

I'm not one to write reviews, but with our experience tonight I couldn't resist. Today was our first time coming to Primo's and I can confidently say we will be back! This was the most pleasant dining experience that I've had in a long time. From the friendly and accommodating service to the great ambiance and the exceptional cleanliness, Primos did not disappoint. I will say that it wasn't my favorite birria that I've had, however, every other area truly made up for that. It's hard to find places that hold themselves to such high standards these days so please take the time to check these guys out!! read more

Came here for lunch with an associate that was local to the area. So glad we did! Very authentic mexicain street taco's. I went with the Timga and Birria. Both were delicious. Try the Birria, up there with the seat I have ever had. Had lunch with a group of 6 and everyone was happy with their lunch, but a few said they were going to try the street tacos next time! read more

I've been wanting to try this new Mexican restaurant. Today was the day as I was already passing it to and from a job interview. So, I stopped for lunch after the interview. Ample parking, nice size interior space, nicely decorated with some artwork on the walls, decent menu, good food, and pleasant service all add up to a good visit. I ordered 2 street tacos at 4 dollars, apiece-- one fish taco (fried) and one carnival taco. Good options. I also ordered shrimp ceviche at 16 dollars. It comes on a large bowl with a spoon and a lot of chips on the side. What I found quite interesting: 1) free appetizer of puffed rings of some sort. Reminds me of cereal? I dunno. Definitely not a chip and definitely not dippable. Weird. Doesn't seem to go with anything. A first ever being served something like this in amy other Mexican restaurant. Not really a fan 2) street tacos served with cucumber slices on the side. That is also a first, but googling says it is a thing. 3) ceviche served with orange slices -- again, a first but googling says not unheard of. Ok... All tasted good. Worth the visit. The menu could use some lunch specials and combos. read more

This was a nice find. The menu is the kind of thing you would find at most Mexican restaurants in Western Pennsylvania, but some care was clearly put into each dish. The tacos in particular were very nicely done, with a wide variety of fillings available. I especially appreciated the five different vegetarian fillings available on the menu. The salad was good. The Azteca bowl was essentially just the salad served over beans and rice, which was about as advertised. The shrimp fajitas were flavorful and served with very fresh lettuce/tomato and very nicely seasoned refried beans and rice. Even the corn tortillas were very flavorful. We ordered takeout, and it was a great experience overall. The staff were very helpful, and everything was packaged up very nicely. The interior space looked very nice as well, despite the location in a relatively old road-side space previously occupied by another restaurant. This isn't exactly gourmet cuisine or some sort of hip fusion experiment, but it is very nicely done Mexican food. Well worth a visit, if that's what you're looking for. read more

The atmosphere was great! The booth was large and comfy. They even have an outdoor deck! The service was very good! The food was soooo GOOD!!! We had chips and bean dip, a steak burrito and a shredded beef quesadilla. ALL delicious!!! What a great find and we will go back :) read more

We decided to stop here for lunch. The space is so large so we see it right away. I love all the Mexican decor that they have the menu is a good size with different options. I got the birria Ramen bowl and it was surprisingly really good. My son got a steak burrito and it was filled with mostly steak. I love that they offer those round Mexican chips when you arrive, but you do have to pay for chips and salsa. read more

Came here tonight for dinner. Got the chicken enchiladas with tomatillo sauce. Also got the jalapeño cucumber margarita. Everything was delicious! The tomatillo sauce is the best I've ever had, fresh, spicy, and tangy. The margarita was delicious and large! It was busy but not super crowded. Great service as well. Would definitely come back. read more

Had another fantastic dinner at Primos! I ordered the Scallops a la Ajo and it was so fresh,so delicious... I am so glad I tried it ,it tasted like it was directly from a seashore. We went with some family members and our grandkid really enjoyed it,first time there! So generous in portions , again friendly, relaxed vibe. We tried the Tres Leches cake , first time only because we're so full usually! We saved room for dessert and we're not disappointed ,so delicate and the churros!

Good food. Good Service Pricey: Drinks $11.00. Personally I think the food and drinks are a bit expensive. read more

Restaurant was clean and spotless. We came in for lunch and we're immediately seated and waited upon. Food came out fast and very very hot! The chicken fajita quesadilla was massive and came with beans and rice. The meal was hot and very delicious. Steak burrito was hot and very good. It could have been a little bit bigger, but made up for it with the large portion of steak. Overall great experience. Will be back again! read more

Primo's owners redid the entire interior and it is bright & colorful. Simply beautiful. Staff was really nice and we were seated immediately (6:45 on a Monday). The food was amazing and I would highly recommend the raspberry margarita. Fajitas were delicious - we had steak. Al Pastor quesadilla was enormous and awesome with a little guacamole added. Prices were very reasonable as well. My only suggestion would be to add enchiladas to the menu. read more

Right in our backyard, this cute and cozy restaurant which we haven't heard anything about, good or bad so we decided to check it out ourselves. AMAZING!! the food is delicious. We started off with chips and salsa, both hot and regular salsa, For entrees we got street tacos (chorizo), regular crumbled beef taco and enchiladas. The enchiladas was one chicken and two shredded beef, (you could also get a ground beef), all were with queso blanco and salsa verde, the flavor profile was insane. The drinks were great as well, the jalapeño cucumber margarita was spicy and very tasty as was ranch water which was also very good. Wish we hadn't waited so long to stop in. This is going on the where to go list. read more

I'm so glad there's a good Mexican restaurant in the area with good vegetarian and vegan options. The cactus taco is a pleasant spin on an authentic staple. Service is always prompt and the interior is an homage without being campy or cheesy. read more

We came here for the first time and really enjoyed it, we'll definitely be back. As someone else mentioned they do not serve regular chips and salsa, they serve their own style of chips.
