We went for the first time for lunch. The fajitas were phenomenal. The chips were hot and the salsa was the best I've had for a while. We loved everything and the view of the lake is amazing. The service was great as well. Definitely try it. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could Horrible food and service. Kids food was horrible. She had the kids chicken strips and they were well burned and hard. How can you send something out like that to eat. I had the chimichangas they were discussing. Gobs of cheese just thick cheese that was horrible. Waitress was horrible. Will never visit again. read more

Great lakeside spot that carries a variety of dishes with Tex-Mex being the main. This visit, I sat at the bar to enjoy the view and ordered the Seafood Plate. The portion was huge and everything was fried perfectly. Service is always fast and friendly. Love to visit when I'm in the area! read more

We loved this restaurant! I normally take pictures and totally dropped the ball and forgot but there are already plenty of pictures already on Yelp. It really feels like you are not even in DFW. Probably the best water/lake patio that I know of in the greater Dallas area. you do want to try to get the tables right on the railing. The further in you are the less exciting the view and the view is really the best part. I would say the service was also really good. The people were really nice and we wanted to sit outside and they found a way to make that work even though it took a little effort because it was busy on a nice day. read more

I had the seafood platter, it was not worth the price for one piece of fish, 4 shrimp and fries. The fish had soooo much grease running out of it. The breading on the fish was soggy. The fries had a weird look to them. I don't even know how to describe the look as some sort of coating on them. My son ordered a 10 piece wings and took one or two bites. He said the wings were awful and didn't eat anymore. Two others in my group order the beef fajitas. The fajitas looked overdone and dark brown in color. The fajitas were brought out with no setups, they had to ask for the setups to get their sour cream, and cheese. There were a few other couples/groups on the patio. As we were leaving, I noticed very few people on the inside of the restaurant. We were leaving around 7:00. I can only assume the lack of diners was due to the quality of the food being very poor. read more

My bestie and I visited here on a Saturday - July 12th around 4pm for a very late lunch. They had a pretty good crowd setting up on the inside, looked like a big birthday party was happening soon! We chose to sit out on the patio, hoping to find a good table so we could enjoy Lake Ray Hubbard and weren't disappointed. We sat right next to the railing and enjoyed the view while we chatted away, catching up on things. Our server, Ross was polite, friendly & punctual, no complaints there. We both ordered the shrimp al Mesquite $25, with sodas and a side of guacamole. I would have loved an 'adult beverage', ha but I was going in to work. They have a full bar just inside and there were a few people there. The Shrimp Al Mesquite was so good! We're talking 6 large shrimp atop a cheese-topped bed of rice. The shrimp was very fresh and cooked perfectly and so was the rice. I opted for charro beans - so good. The chips and salsa were good. I usually try to skip them these days but I was hungry and they were fresh and crunchy! I can't wait to go back in the evening and really enjoy the ambiance. Like most patios, they do have birds looking for treats - just don't feed them and they'll leave you alone, lol. read more

If we could give negative stars we would. The only good thing about this place is the view. Service was terrible, food overpriced and way over cooked. The server whose name we don't know because he was super rude and walked away before we could ask or say anything. Took my menu away and went to next person while I was mid sentence trying to order. Then completely disregarded my daughter's request and brought her something completely different. Took over 30 minutes just to come to take the order and no the restaurant was not busy and we were actually one of only five tables in the place. Never came back after food was delivered, and had the audacity to charge 30% extra on our bill! This was a graduation lunch for our daughter and it was just horrible. read more

Wanted live music for dinner and gave up. We decided for a view by the lake and Tex-Mex. Food was fine. Service was excellent. Hot sauce was . but the find was live music tonight. Go! read more

Our dinners included the fajita trio and the ultimate cheeseburger with fries. It started with chips, Queso, and salsa. Everything was really delicious! The service was on point (Juan!) and the ambience was fun and friendly. Great menu options. Good for big and small parties and families. 10/10 recommend. read more

When we first arrived, the group of waiters and waitresses seemed uninterested in helping us. It was almost like they were drawing straws to see who got the shortest one and had to work next. Before we even sat down, we were asked what we wanted to drink. Once we got seated, we tried the chips and salsa, which were underwhelming to say the least. The chips were stale, and the salsa lacked flavor. When we finally ordered our drinks, the frozen margarita had a lake-water taste. We told the server, and she brought us an on-the-rocks margarita, which wasn't much better. We showed up on a Wednesday, knowing it was supposed to be enchilada specials. When we asked the server, she had no idea and stated she thought Wednesday was the one day without a special. Come to find out, every weekday has some form of food special. We ordered our food, and once it arrived, it was cold. The chicken in the enchiladas was impossible to cut through. Lastly, I'm not sure what the dress code is for a sit-down family Mexican restaurant, but with my child, wife, and mother, I wasn't expecting to feel like I had taken them down the street to Hooters. They need a standard for uniforms, because it is not a family-friendly environment. Disappointed, to say the least. And not to mention, as we walked out, there was a baby in a high chair stacked three high at the bar. Prior experiences were good, but this most recent visit was a disappointment--again, to say the least. read more

WISH I COULD GIVE A ZERO OR NEGATIVE STARS! Met 2 friends today looking forward to a delicious meal and great fellowship. I'm allergic to green bell peppers. Ordered the beef fajitas and told waiter I was allergic to them but yellow, orange or red are ok. Fajitas came and found 2 green peppers. Showed one to waiter who said "I told them no green peppers" He wasn't concerned at all. VERY POOR SERVICE OVERALL ON SO MANY ACCOUNTS AND RESTAURANT WAS ALMOST EMPTY! Bill came with no credit or adjustment ! I should have asked to speak with manager. AND from my recent stomach cramps and visits to the bathroom, I evidently did not find them all. WILL NOT BE GOING BACK!!! Have a photo of outcome and you do not want to see it! Will gladly forward to manager if he responds! read more

First time to Primo's Garland, and while I knew I shouldn't compare it to the old Primo's on McKinney Ave, I just couldn't help myself... it's no Primo's Uptown... but TBH there's just no way it could be! The food was fine, the pitcher of margs for $25 was good, and the lake breeze felt great. I almost feel like I held back that star because it can never be Primo's Uptown~ and that is where the bar is set.... read more

Food is great. But your chips are stale. Warm them up or something. Salsa could not overcome stale chips. Chips are not primo

Casual atmosphere with nice patio overlooking Lake Lavon. We went on a Friday night and there was live music on the patio, though we opted to stay inside due to the hot weather. All the staff were great and very helpful. Food and drinks were tasty and they accommodated us in bringing in an outside cake for a birthday celebration. Would definitely go again. read more

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Or server was checking on us constantly. We sat inside because of the heat but the view of the lake was amazing. read more

Went to see a band we like.it was an 80 mile drive. We sat at a table next to other friends. Our friends said if you want a drink go to the bar, the server is slow. I went to the bar started an order, a server asked if I was on the patio, I said yes she said she would bring it out. Shortly the drinks arrived and the margarita was in a large glass very tasty.she pointed out our server , it took him about 20 minutes to come take a food order. The food arrived quickly and was good, we ordered a second margarita, it showed up in a glass half the size of the first and not a hint of alcohol. The bill arrived and my wife paid (I usually do) it was dark so she added a tip to the 93.00 bill. This morning I looked at the receipt. They added a 20% tip prior to presenting the bill, she added another 20% because she did not notice the first tip added. The $9 margaritas were not a good deal. She is nicer than I am because I would call and ask for the second tip refund. The service was not even worth 15%( I usually tip week) If the band plays there again I will eat next door and not spend a dime here read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. We were the first ones in the door on New Year's Day and the staff was still pretty peppy. We were seated near the windows. The view of the lake was refreshing after a stressful weekend. We ordered some drinks off the brunch menu to take the edge off. My eyes were drawn to the Sunrise Mimosa which was made with champagne and only $5. It took everything in me not to buy multiples :) They also brought chips and salsa for the table. The salsa is killer and has a nice kick to it. It's not like your typical Tex- Mex restaurant with watered down salsa. I saved it to put in pretty much all of my food. If you don't like spicy, avoid it. I'll preface this by saying that I'm from the east coast so when you ask for fajita anything, it's expected that your meal comes with grilled peppers and onions. That's not the case here in Texas haha. For once though, I ordered a fajita beef taco and it had nice slices of flavorful steak and peppers and onions. 10/10! I'd drive the 30 minutes every time I crave this meal! My mom order the shrimp cocktail and said that it was pretty good. It had a nice flavor. She just wished that the shrimps were bigger. Either way, she'd try it again. Lastly, we got the chocolate cake with ice cream which was okay. It honestly just taste like a Walmart cake. Despite the dessert, the entrees were fantastic!!!!! I will be back for sure. It was worth every bit of the 30 minute drive. read more

The service here was great but the food and prices were just okay. I thought $12.99 for shredded chicken nachos was pretty good but it only came with 5 large nachos and no sour cream or guac. Sopapillas were $7 for two. They do have some pretty good specials though like $2 margs and tacos on Tuesday which I'd definitely be open to checking out. The restaurant is huge with a great view of the river and plenty of seating. read more

We came in here for a late lunch. The food was really good I like spicy so the salsa was spicy and chips were warm. If you don't like spicy then it might be too much for you. Where they completely lost me was service they were either completely understaffed or just not paying attention to tables. We did get a replacement basket of chips but we had to actually get up and go to the bar to request our check after waiting and standing by table looking for our waitress to get acknowledged. We finally gave up after about 10-15 min and just went to the bar to pay. Turns out our waitress was tending bar so not sure what happened? It wasn't that busy at the time however everyone was spaced out so perhaps easier to forget about customers. read more

Great food. Great view of the lake. Back porch is where to sit on a nice day. Laid back and polite service

their chips and salsa was as great as the original el fenix. momma and poppa el fenix would have been proud. the food exceptional, the portion size of the shrimp cocktail for the delivery at home was not the same size , but after letting them know, i feel it will be fixed. read more

Definitely not up to par tonight or maybe my rate buds have evolved or something. The two Rita's I tried were both untasty. $11 for cheese dip with a 1/4 cup of taco meat and a pool of grease sitting on top? Our server was fantastic...not her in any way shape or form. Hopefully next time will be better. read more

Emmy was a great server on the patio tonight! Food was good as always, atmosphere on the water can't be beat. Bar service needs some help - way to long waiting on beer and drinks and there are 2 bars - help them Out!! read more

Primo's Tex Mex Grille - Tex-Mex Near Me - Garland, Texas

The patio is an awesome scene to the lake. However the patio itself was dirty, trash on the ground, tables weren't organized; you can tell either they're under staffed or poor management. The food was ok! The rice isn't homemade it's boxed rice, beans were under cooked, meat was tasty. We ordered shimrp cocktail which was very plain and sweet. The presentation of the food is sloppy. We won't be back! read more

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. The atmosphere and service are great, but I've had better food from smaller places. I bet the outdoor ambiance is wonderful when it's warm out. read more

I love primos! The atmosphere is great, it is right on the lake. There is also two bars and they are always upbeat. The food is kind of pricey, but it is delicious. The staff is very accommodating.

Primo's Tex Mex Grille - Carne Asada and Shrimp - Tex-Mex Near Me - Garland, Texas

Shit server, totally disrespectful, food was disgusting, view was great. 0/10 Couldn't pay me to eat here.

I hate to do this but we went here on a friends recommendation. The food was some of the worst we have ever had and we are NOT picky people. We had queso - super easy right? No. We still cannot figure out what kind of cheese this was. I even like canned nacho cheese. This was so awful we left most of it there. This is not Mexican or TexMex food. There was no flavor. I tried a couple of drinks and again - maybe it was an off day because their bar was full. But they tasted terrible. It was sad because it is on the lake and that couldn't even make it worth it. Sorry to say we will pass on Primo's. read more

Food was mediocre and not even made correctly according to what the menu said it was supposed to have on it. Our service was slow and we could tell our food had been sitting for awhile. The waitress put our child's food in wrong. He was suppose to get a kids meal and they just gave him a bean burrito but no rice and beans, then they proceeded to go get the rice and beans and then added another beans burrito and then asked us if they should take off the other lone bean burrito they brought at first on the bill. We were like of course take off the other bean burrito because they screwed up the order. The whole experience was just bad overall and we will not be back and won't be recommending. There were hardly any people in the restaurant, so that should be telling of what the locals think about it. read more

Mary Ann was amazing! Great service & amazing bartender. Food was good as well, very nice environment!

Mary Ann is the best bartender !!!! Ask for her next time ! You won't regret her service and amazing attitude

I love Primos! Took my cousin here for her birthday. The food was great we both got the Primo Nachos. Now the only reason I'm given 3 stars is because they allowed smoking on the patio. If I had known this we would have gone somewhere else for the scenery we wanted. My cousin has health issues and cannot be around that type of environment so it was pretty disappointing. We did move to a different part of the patio which was better but then instead of just one person smoking more of them started so needless to say it was not the best experience this time around. That is on the patio. Yes we could have gone inside but we wanted the scenery of the patio for her birthday, since it had been a while since she had been able to go out. Bottom line food was great but the experience was not! read more

This place is okay. However, watch your bill when you check out at the bar. My friend and I both had twice as many beers as we drink added onto our bill. We like to drink, but not 9 beers in 1 hour. Beers like Shiner Bach were $9 a bottle so yeah, too high. Asked one of the of the bar staff about it. Noone came back signed receipt and left with no resolution.. Food subpar. The bar tendresses (sp) should not let their sketchy personalities take over and mistake a customer's innibriation, as a sign for easy pickens, or otherwise, their scammy opportunity for theft of the customer's funds. These ladies are by all accounts running a theft ring because it wasn't the only time it has happened to us at this place. To mgmt.: Your business will not do well running like that so vet your help better. Word does travel as you know. Been several times to this place but sadly, won't be back. Thank you for reading the rant...it was necessary. read more

MaryAnn was great!! Lovely to talk to & drinks were superb! I come to primos frequently and love to chat with all the girls behind the bar!
