Excellent food (try the pescado tacos). Chips and salsa - awesome. Excellent service. The place was spotless. The staff were very friendly. I highly recommend!! read more

We walked in as a party of 6 without a reservation and were offered a high-top table. We let the waiter know that we were willing to wait for a lower table instead. We waited patiently for about 25 minutes, only to see a party of 10 walk in **without a reservation** and get seated at a lower table within about 5 minutes of arriving. Meanwhile, we were still waiting. It was frustrating to see a larger walk-in party get seated before us when we had already been waiting and had specifically asked for a lower table. I understand that seating can be complicated, but the way this was handled did not feel fair or like good customer service. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression and could have been handled much better. read more

Someone told me this place was good so I had to try it . The outside and inside is very nice and clean. Inside it's not your typical taqueria it has a full bar it's also very spacious. The inside is very classy chic with a Mexican twist . I went during the week so it was happy hour . Their happy hour is pretty sweet ! It's from Monday - Friday 4-6 pm, Dine-In Only . They offered $10 drinks and also $10 appetizers. I ended up getting their tacos de papa from their happy hour, which is two tacos, but they are very fulfilling. They're very delicious and I did not see them in the regular menu so if you go during happy hour, it's definitely a must try. I also ordered Jesse's favorite, which is a Chile that looks like a chille relleno, but it's not instead of the egg it has a cream sauce on top and inside it has ground beef . My dad ordered the fajitas which they came with a side of cilantro rice and beans and also all the fixings like guacamole and stuff. Let me tell you the fajitas meal was huge. You could definitely share it with somebody else. I have to say their portions are very generous. For drinks they have beers margaritas my mother had a Chavela, which is beer with lime. I'm not a big tequila fan, but they do have a full bar so I just changed the dirty linen drink for Gin instead of tequila and it was very delicious . The service everyone was really nice and attentive. Overall, we had a great dinner my family and I we had a lot of food and a lot of good laughs. I would definitely come back. I have to say I love their tacos de Papa and for them being on happy hour it's a win-win. read more

We had a really nice dinner experience at Primo's. Love the space and the sports bar feel. Casual enough but upscale at the same time. Our server was amazing, took great care of us. Now on to the food- starting with the tortilla chips and the salsas, we were impressed at how fresh and warm they were. The elote had sriracha in it and I wasn't a great fan. The fried vegetarian burrito was amazing and the veggie tacos were good as well but could use a bit more flavor. The meat tacos were well-made. The Valencia old-fashioned was excellent. The horchata was good, a bit too sweet for my taste though. Overall, great place to have a nice meal. I'll surely stop by the next time we drive by Ripon. read more

Last night we had a slightly last-minute Boxing Day dinner at Primos. I called on December 23 and explained the desire for a December 26 reservation for a party of eight, did I mention that I called at 10:30 at night. The person who answered the phone that late hour was friendly, helpful, and even a little bit funny. She set me up with the early dinner reservation. One other, probably not very important point, we don't live in Ripon and have never been there before. We picked Primos based on your previews and photos and the restaurant dinner menu. Our group consisted of for out-of-towners and for local Riponites. During the evening, the entire staff was friendly, and the service was excellent. The food was very good and the portions were large enough for the several large eaters in our group. For me, I ate half my dinner and took the other half home. During the dinner, we learned that the four from the area come here somewhat regularly. It seems to be a favorite of theirs, and I can see why. We will return. read more

Primos Restaurant & Tequila Bar - Great Food & Service! I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and my wife and I finally decided to go for dinner. When we arrived (around 5:30 pm), the parking lot was pretty full, but there weren't many people waiting. We were quoted a 30-minute wait, which was no problem, but we were pleasantly surprised to be seated in about 10 minutes. Right away, we were greeted with ice-cold water (without having to ask), along with chips, green salsa (not spicy but great flavor), and black refried beans. We ordered cocktails-- I had a Tequila Old Fashioned, and my wife had a Tequila Mule. Both were very tasty and well-made. For dinner, I ordered the Carnitas Dinner, which came with green rice, whole black beans served in a fried flour tortilla bowl, and a side of pico de gallo. The only thing missing was a side of guacamole, but it wasn't a deal breaker. The food arrived quickly, everything was hot, and the flavors were delicious. The flour tortillas seemed homemade--two large, soft tortillas that complemented the meal perfectly. My wife ordered three Pastor Tacos, which also came with the same rice and beans. She really enjoyed her meal as well. For dessert, we shared the churros, which came with caramel and chocolate dipping sauces. They were served hot and fresh--definitely a great way to end the meal! Plenty of seating, with chairs around the bar. Several TV's showing current sporting events. Overall, the service was great, the food was delicious, and we'll definitely be back! read more

I have been here many times and love it. Popped in for an early lunch with a friend. The staff is always amazing! The ambience is modern and the place is always super clean. The cocktails are creative and super flavorful. The food is great, a modern twist on Mexican food. I try something different every time I go. Today was shrimp tacos with fresh fruit and cabbage and a great sauce. Beans and rice are always great and not your traditional refried beans. Highly recommend this place and it's close to Mistlin park as well. did not have a chance to take photos. read more

We had a very delightful experience at Primos. Excellent and delicious food choices. The service was top notch. It is a casual and relax atmosphere. The watermelon margaritas presentation alone is exquisite. It has just the right balance of Tequila and juice with slices of watermelon, too. The food can be easily shared or be prepared to have leftovers. read more

Wow! Finally found a great date night spot! We came here on a whim because the other Mexican restaurant we wanted to dine at was super busy on a Friday night. There was no wait here but a good amount of people. Service was great. Upon being seated, you are served complimentary house made tortilla chips, salsa and bean dip. We ordered one our favs, molcajete with shrimp. This can easily feed two people. Super good! Their drinks are also great. My husband got a pina colada and a watermelon paloma for me. I would love to try their watermelon margarita when we return. read more

First time here, my sister always raves about this restaurant and I see why. The food and service were phenomenal with fair prices. First round of drinks we had were the Cadillac margaritas, made fresh and strong we also started with the queso fundido appetizer it was amazing. After asking a few questions, our server helped me decide on the Jessie's Favorite - it is now my favorite as well. My boyfriend had the fried burrito which was packed with flavor. We finished the evening with a Watermelon Paloma & a regular Paloma - so good! I wish I would have gotten our servers name she was kind, attentive and helpful. read more

This area in Ripon has some good restaurant options. I was pleasantly surprised by how good Primos was in my most recent visit. The customer service is also top tier and I had a great experience because of how friendly the staff are. The ambiance is also comfortable and spacious. Plenty of parking outside as well. The food is also great. What my table ordered: - Quesadilla Sincronizadas w/ Chicken ($16) - Salmon Primos Specialty Plate ($24) You also get complimentary chips and salsa as well as a type of black bean dip. The chips were actually amazing and tasted very fresh. They were warm and crispy. The green salsa was delicious, but also not very spicy. The bean dip sprinkled with a little bit of cheese got cleaned out very quickly. It was a 10/10. The staff was also very attentive and would ask if my table needed refills for chips which was really nice. I personally got the quesadillas with chicken and boy I definitely cannot finish them in one sitting. The value for the amount of food you get is pretty good. The chicken is really tender and moist and the quesadilla was loaded with cheese. They use some really good tortillas. I was a fan. I tried a bite of the salmon and it was moist and flavorful. I was overall really pleased with my experience at Primos and I would be happy to come again. The service to the quality of the food makes this an easy restaurant to recommend especially considering Ripon doesn't have a ton of options. read more

One of the best Mexican Restaurant/Tequila Bars in the Central Valley. Have NEVER been disappointed with their food or service. Great place to eat. If you like Tequila, order the Tequila flight board so you can sample some smooth to smoky & smooth Tequila. Not into a straight shot, NO PROBLEM! Try one of their signature margaritas! They are DELISH! They also have a full bar so pick your poison! Oh, wait? You just wanted food! They've got you covered! Chefs kiss delish! Oh! And orders to go if you want to dine at home. Service is great, atmosphere is wonderful! They also have banquet rooms you can book for large parties! So what are you waiting for! Bring your bestie and share a pitcher of good speciality margarita spirits and a good authentic meal. read more

Went here yesterday for my Sisters bday. Upon walking in I noticed there was a lot of seating. They have an outside area too. There's also a bar area and multiple tvs. They start you off with chips and salsa. They give you a bean too. The salsa was pretty good. It was a green salsa and wasn't spicy at all. The been dip was good. Eventually Tomas came over and took our order. He was a really good server. He was on top of everything. I ended up getting the Pastor Con Pina. It was three tacos with pastor, grilled pineapple and onions and cilantro. Came with rice and black beans. Very delicious. Pastor was nice and seasoned. The onions and pineapple gave it that extra touch. The rice was good but I didn't really care for the beans. It came with a red salsa but I preferred the green one. Very good meal. If ever out this way again I'd go back. read more

An oasis when journeying through the Central Valley! Ripon should be so lucky to have such a great dining establishment. 1. Chips and salsa with the refried black beans is off the hook. Delicious, crispy and those beans...wow! 2. I had two delicious cocktails, both crafted for me off-menu by the bartender/server. She's very talented and super nice! 3. My lunch comprised three al pastor tacos on handmade tortillas with all the fixins'. Juicy, mouthwatering and delicious and I had leftovers! I was extremely pleased with my experience at Primos and I'd go out of my way off CA-99 to return to this gem in Ripon. read more

We stopped in on a Monday night and it was half full. There aren't many nice restaurants open on a Monday, so this was a great option. This was my first time in and it was pretty spacious inside with a bar offering. I had a mixed cocktail, I don't recall the name... something laundry- and it was delicious. We then ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp, and it was so delicious as was everything else that followed. We ordered fish tacos and a wet burrito and everything hit the spot. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some good Mexican food. It is not the most "authentic", but Still very tasty! Will be back read more

If you are looking for a clean, modern & upscale type Mexican restaurant, Primos is the place. There is plenty of room in the check-in/waiting area. The restaurant itself is very spacious with plenty of seating inside and outdoor patio options. They have a full bar with a couple of TV's if you want to follow your favorite sports teams. The service here is regularly spot on and the quality of the food matches. I try to stick to healthier options, so my go to is the primos bowl, which is very tasty. Primos is definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants in Ripon. read more

We both chose dishes from the breakfast menu and couldn't have been happier with our meals. Highly recommend! read more

The service was fantastic. The ambiance was great. The music was very familiar to this Gen X visitor. The presentation was spot on. But I did not like the food. I would liken the food to a fusion Mexican restaurant more than an authentic Mexican. The salsa was a very thin verde, more like a sauce then a salsa. The bean dip was ok. I found the $14 margarita quite small and full of ice so very strong but more tequila flavor than blackberry. Perhaps the price was due to the tequila? I don't personally enjoy the flavor of straight liquor and am more inclined to order fruity drinks that only have a touch of alcohol flavor. Perhaps understanding that the salsa is more of a lime verde sauce and the flavors are different one might enjoy this. The ingredients seemed very fresh. read more

Food is always so good here. I love getting the tacodilla which you can get with 3 different meats if you want but this time I did all Al pasto. It's my favorite! Cheesy tacos their drinks are fresh and the vibe is very much giving as if you are in Central American spots. The music they play brings my family back to their roots. Everytime we come the staff is friendly, quick on their feet and very accommodating. Definitely recommend if you are looking for something new! read more

My wife and I have been going to Primos once a week since they opened several years ago and have always enjoyed ourselves. Tonight we went to dinner and experienced sticker shock when we got our bill. We always order their pitcher of Cadillac margaritas for $64 which has always been excellent. Tonight we received our tab and the price of the same pitcher was $85.00. Our waitress explained that their prices have increased as of last week and even a single margarita in a small glass has went up from $14.00 to $17.00. It's unfortunate that they have chosen to increase their prices by 33% at the risk of losing customers. We will be choosing to frequent other Ripon restaurants in the future. read more

We stopped into Primo's for the first time, and were not disappointed. I ordered the El Señor burrito with shrimp, and my partner ordered the shrimp tacos. Generous portions! The burrito is easily enough food for two. The food is a cut above, with healthier ingredients, i.e. spinach tortilla instead of flour, black beans instead of pinto, etc. They have a nice tequila bar, and make a very good house margarita - tasty and well balanced, not too sweet. The staff was nice, and the bartender was on top of it! We're not usually in this area, but if we were, we would definitely stop in again. read more
