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

Glad we had a chance to try this. food is definitely different than your regular Mexican food. It's very clean tasting and fresh. Not greasy. my shrimp dish was a little on the thick side and I would've liked more flavor & spice, but overall good. The chicken enchiladas were good. our server and the guy who suggested the homemade spicy red sauce were very friendly and knowledgeable about what everything was. would come back if we were in the area. read more

I came into this beautiful Mexican restaurant by sheer accident. I was driving around and my moon was so honey we stopped to eat. We ordered the Street Tacos and they were tasty. The chips and bean dip were so good that I could have eaten that alone and would have been satisfied. Did I mention hand made tortillas? The service was adequate and the ambiance was warm and quiet. Mind you, it was early, around 3pm. There is a bar and TV's so it may get crazy at night, not sure. The food is worth it though. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent quality and service. We enjoy Jessie's Favorite, the chips with the great black bean dip. Please support local restaurants.

This place is awesome, been staying in the area in a hotel for work off and on really mad at myself for not finding this gem earlier... So first time I came I thought ooh might be pricy, quite the contrary. I tried the mahi-mahi plate one of the best I can remember in forever and not just the fish you will actually devour the vegetables that come with.....they have an excellent variety of tequilas but they also have my standby repasado casadores. Service was fantastic... Very clean and fancy inside also so I highly recommend you read more

After an award ceremony, my family and I decided to tryout this restaurant. It was truly amazing the food was excellent including the service. We arrived at opening time, 4 pm, and was seated and served promptly for a group of 6. The Carna Asada, was perfectly cooked to perfection as requested. Medium rare and juicy. Most other restaurants serve it dry and over cooked. The atmosphere casual and very clean. The Best Mexican Restaurant in the area by far. I will definitely return! read more

We sat at a high table and the bartender was amazing! The ladies in front were so nice and the appetizers were delicious...what we especially loved was their drink special that night...Double shot sandía margarita!! AMAZING!! Only complaint was it was a little warm in there on a hot day!! But we stayed cool with our drink! read more

This was my 2nd time coming to Primos. We live in the next city but love making the drive to Primos whenever we can. Both times that I came, the workers were extremely nice and so helpful. They assisted me in choosing the best drink to accompany my food choices. Sadly, they were out of one of the drinks I wanted but the choice the server suggested was good still. I order the burrito and it was spectacular. Very delicious and is more than enough to fill me out. The burrito is huge! I also got some tres leche to go and it was splendid. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Solid recommendation from a friend! On a day trip from the east bay and wanted some Mexican food on our way home. Definitely worth a stop. The whole shopping center actually looked like it has good choices but we were there at 630 on a Sunday so most places were closed. We shared the elite bowl and I got the shrimp from the appetizer menu because I didn't want rice or beans with dinner. My BF got the stuffed pepper with beef and a cream sauce that had really good flavor. The beans were tasty too. When you're seated you get chips and salsa and a little refried black bean dish. I liked dipping a chip in the beans then the green salsa. If we are out that way again we will be back. read more

We have passed Primos numerous times and finally decided to try it on a Friday evening. We were seated immediately. Celeste was our server and helped us navigate all questions we had about our specific dietary restrictions. She was extremely informative and spoke directly to the cook about our order so there was no confusion. We were served our food and drinks quickly. Food was amazing. Service was amazing. We will definitely be back again. read more

Fresh and contemporary Mexican comfort food. For lunch we had guacamole appetizer and ceviche. The little touches like fresh chopped jalapeños on the guacamole... and the fresh fish in the ceviche really made it special. I had chicken enchiladas with red sauce... my friend had fish tacos. Both were excellent. Great attentive service. I hardly ever give 5 stars... but this place deserves it. read more

First timer. Ordered the nachos they were unfortunately DRY with black beans, DRY mozzarella cheese and DRY chicken. No refried beans, no salsa, no sour cream. When we asked for sour cream we were told you have to pay extra. The nachos cost $20.47. Yeah..no. read more

The atmosphere is wonderful is welcoming me and my kid. My friends came over. We had fun. We had tacos and chips and let me taste some those fish tacos. Absolutely wonderful. Come to doing a happy hour is great. It was great. I'll be back. fire service was outstanding give her 10 out of 10. read more

Came here for the first time with a group of friends. It has tons of seating inside, a full bar, and outdoor seating. First thing is first.... they have black beans. Not refrained beans... lol so you already know it's more of a modern Mexican restaurant. The menu itself is impressive! I stuck with the enchiladas with green sauce and it was delicious. Surprising the chicken was super good and very well cooked! My friends got the blackberry margarita. That seems to be a crowd favorite. Would definitely go again! And recommend to those who wanna stop by! read more

We stopped in while traveling to Northern California and what a nice restaurant ! We had the taco combos, I had meat and my girlfriend the fish. They were excellent!

The area of the restaurant is very cute and modern. Very clean inside and has cute decor. Everything was really good and you can taste the freshness of it all. Good sized portions as well. The only reason I gave 4/5 stars was because of the service, it was a little slow and wasn't really attentive. I would try to come back again though since the food was delicious. read more

Always a wonderful time when we dine in. We will keep coming back. Staff is great and food even better!

Not very authentic however, Great ambiance and spacious insides. Very fun vibes with great music playing adding to the already amazing ambience. Staff is very friendly and helpful when choosing items. It was a group of 6 of us and we got sat very quickly. We started off with the free chips salsa and bean dip. Very flavorful. We also ordered the guacamole which was very flavorful as well as the queso fundido. Definitely have to try both. We ordered a spicy margarita which was very good and not to spicy. Also ordered a Cadillac margarita which was a bit strong but very good. Tried the michelada which was ok. The drinks were good. They had a great variety. As a meal we ordered the following: Nachos w/ tinga- 4/5 Enchiladas w/ tinga- 4/5 Tacos de pastor- 3/5 flavor was good but meat was not as flavorful as I was oily have expected. But overall had all the components that make up pastor tacos. Molcajete- 3/5 Lacked a bit in flavor but other than that it was good Bacon wrapped burrito- 4/5 Great flavor, needs a bit more seasoning Overall, had a great experience here and would recommend it. You have to come here with an open mind and not expect authentic Mexican food. read more

I love this place. The atmosphere is great. The restaurant is always clean which I love. The service is amazing. The owners are great people. My absolute favorite thing on the menu is their shrimp A Diabla!!! if you like spicy food like myself and I mean spicy, please try it!!!! I love it!!! if you cannot handle heat, I don't recommend this for you, I appreciate and respect spicy food, and Primos definitely did that for me. I will order this over and over. It's full of flavor, packed with heat and this is what I love. I even throw fresh jalapeños on there, jaw dropping to say the least. Shot out to Primos for actually having a real spicy food item on the menu. This is hard to find. read more

Seating isn't always the best, but the food is not bad. However, it takes a while to get your food. The server initially gives you chips and salsa, but they don't check in again except to take your order. They also charge a 5% upcharge, which is unnecessary since they expect a hefty tip anyway. Overall, it's a good place to eat in Ripon, but there are a few issues to be aware of. read more

Came here on a Tuesday night for dinner with my in laws. We found this place on yelp and have been wanting to try it since it opened. The interior was nicely decorated, nice music; and a nice bar. There was a good amount of people already seated but we did not have a wait and were seated right away. The number one thing I noticed right away was the excellent customer service from all the employees. Every one had a smile on their face and they were all very helpful. Our waitress was Monica, who was also the bartender. She was great and very outgoing, she catered to our needs and made sure our dining experience was excellent. The manager also stopped by and had a nice conversation with our table. The temperature was a bit hot and he catered to us by turning the AC up, which was a nice gesture. Food: For starters they give you a basket of chips, salsa, and black bean dip. My mother in law and I had the albondigas( meat ball soup) and it was delicious, I am very picky about my meat balls but this soup was excellent. My father in law had the chicken fajitas, which came in a healthy portion and the flavor was out of this world. My husband had The primo bowl, with al pastor and grilled veggies. He loved it. Drinks I ordered a michelada. I had to specify what I wanted in it, so if your picky about yours make sure to tell the bartender as they use a Bloody Mary mix instead of Clamato as the base. My mother in law ordered a classic margarita and she said it was ok, she would order the blackberry margarita next time. And my husband had a beer which they have a good selection of bottled and beers on tap. The only negative I would say is the rice and black beans. The rice is good but it's not your typical Spanish rice found at most taquerias or Mexican food resturants. The black beans aren't bad, but it's the only choice of beans they offer. Overall, the food and drinks were great. The customer service is excellent. We will definitely be back to try more of their items. read more

After reading the reviews, I had high hopes for this place. We walked in and they weren't too busy, which it was a Monday evening so that made sense. They brought chips and green salsa, with refried black beans, out right away and took our drink order. The green salsa was a little odd as it was a bit too smooth, but the bean dip was very yummy. We ordered the tacos mixtos and the special "Primo's trio". I can't say enough great things about their meats! It is so rare to go to a Mexican food restaurant and have all of the meat be equally tender and flavorful without being overly salted! The server was nice and efficient, didn't hover unnecessarily, but also came around just when needed each time. There was music playing over the speakers, but it wasn't too loud. Overall, a nice meal for a decent price! We will be back. read more

To my surprise this place was an absolute delight! We frequently are in the Ripon area for the sports complex ( which is fantastic by the way) so over a long weekend in town we were told about this place. Initially, we were trying to find a place to watch football but so happy we picked this place. The area is a new development so the building and surrounding businesses are all modern and well kept. The restaurant its self was very clean and spacious. It had a lovely modern design but still had touches of it being a Mexican restaurant. The beans and salsa were great. Very well seasoned and fresh. The menu has a good variety as far as typical mexican dishes. I got the Al Pastor tacos with pineapple and let me tell you they did not skip out on quality. The Pastor meat has a great balance of herbs and spiciness to it. And the slices of pineapple were grilled perfectly! The plates have a clean nice presentation to it that enhance your experience. My husband got the taco mix and he was very pleased as well. Service was quick and very attentive without being over barring. Keep up the good work! read more

Favorite restaurant in Ripon. Lovely fresh Mexican food, always great service, and yummy cocktails. Highly recommend!

Wow I was pleasantly surprised! This isn't your traditional Mexican food. It's very different. They served us chips and beans and salsa dips when we sat down. The beans were black beans mixed with a meat flavor and corona cheese on top, very delicious. Their salsa is very lemon-limey good but I prefer a lil more spicy less citrus. Not sure if they were understaffed but our drinks came after our meal was served. However I enjoyed my cocktail, it was a pomegranate drink on the special menu. I ordered the pastor pina taco plate, came with 3 tacos, rice and beans. The tacos were good, I liked the blue tortillas. The meat and flavor was good, but amount on tortilla was kind of small. I'm used to the pineapple being cut up and mixed in, this was a thin slice grilled on top. It came with black beans and a green rice. Overall I enjoyed the flavors. If you're looking for a non traditional Mexican place I would recommend trying. read more

This is definitely a twist on Mexican food - and FANTASTIC. I love the fresh ingredients and not feeling the weight of grease/lard at the end of the meal. Price is on point for the area - if you're looking for cheap, go elsewhere. You pay for what you get! Fresh, flavourful, not from a can! The service was great! The food took a bit longer than expected. However, the wait staff kept drinks, chips, salsa, and bean dip (black-bean) on the table. The restaurant was clean, bathrooms clean, overall good experience. It was our second time, and we will gladly make the drive back (25 min away). read more

Service was good. Inside is nice. Food was nothing great, beans were cold, salsa wasn't spicy at all mostly had a lime taste. Got the Milanesa and it was very bland no flavor. I wouldn't recommend as I think the food isn't worth the price. Don't think I would come back. read more
