Family owned. Great food, amazing customer service, food was better than I anticipated. A must try while in Palm Desert! Quesoibbiria is the best taco I may have ever had. Ambiance is casual, cafe--laid back. read more

Los Primos in Palm Springs is a gem for those craving a delicious Mexican breakfast. My mom and I stumbled upon this hidden gem while searching for a local Mexican breakfast spot. Apparently, the restaurant is owned by two cousins, their wives, and they pour their hearts into every dish. Upon arrival, the restaurant was bustling with locals in a causal setting, indicating that the food is truly exceptional. We had a 10-minute wait, but it flew by as we eagerly perused the menu. Our server, one of the owners' daughters, was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was simply delicious. The portions were generous, and the flavors were bursting with authentic Mexican taste. There's ample parking available in the lot in front of the restaurant, making it convenient for customers. If I find myself craving Mexican food again during my next visit to Palm Springs, Los Primos will definitely be my go-to spot. read more

We discovered Primos several years ago after they had just opened, and it has been one of our favorites in Palm Desert ever since. I normally do breakfast, but this time I got the fish tacos. They were grilled and served with chips and roasted salsa, which is my favorite. Hubby loves their chilaquiles and won't order them anywhere else because he doesn't want to spoil the memory. They serve Diet Coke kept it nice and full. We came at 11 on a Wednesday and were seated right away. read more

Sunday morning Huevos Rancheros at Los Primos were good, served with avocado, beans in a crispy taco shell, tangy green salsa, crispy potatoes and over easy eggs on top of a corn tortilla with medium spicy red sauce. Delicious!! The inside is comfortable with a few booths, tables of various sizes, and some outdoor seating as well. Service was friendly, efficient, and fast. read more

Immediately upon entering this very small but quaint, plenty of rooms seating you overwhelmed with the delicious smell of Mexican food. We agreed by not one, but two servers. And immediately seated. The servers were very professional on top of it and checked in on us constantly. My party night ordered Machaca. And it was absolutely delicious. You could tell that the flour tortillas are handmade as well and just as yummy. The chips and guacamole were just as delicious. Additionally the extra hot sauce was delicious. With a great spice to it. We will definitely be back here. read more

I know I give four stars pretty freely but please know this four star review is a hundred percent from mi Corazón. When I walk into Los Primmos, I'm immediately greeted, every time. I have been there four times. They're super kind. Very aware of who's walking in, even when they're busy. (there's not much of a vital transition zone from front door to seating.) no big deal bc of the immediate hospitality you get hit with! We've only ever ordered chips with Guac and salsa to start and then the taco trio. We always pic three different types of tacos. The ribeye w/flour, short rib w/flour, and shrimp w/corn. All of it is delicious! They're smokey, fresh, unbelievably tasty tacos! The guacamole is seasoned very well. So creamy yet with light texture. The chips are homemade. The smokey salsa they serve is something your taste buds will crave again......you've gotta check this place out. It's elevated Mexican food. read more

Restaurante Los Primos - Mahi! Delicious! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Yum! Everything was delicious. I will definitely return. We had dinner, but breakfast looks amazing too.

We came to Los Primos for breakfast and had a great experience overall. The restaurant was immaculate--super clean and welcoming, which I always appreciate. I ordered the huevos rancheros, and my husband had the breakfast quesadilla. Both dishes were fresh and flavorful, and we really enjoyed our meal. The rancheros were delicious, though next time I'd probably ask for the sauce on the side, as it was a bit overpowering for my personal taste. We also ordered the café de olla, which was tasty and nicely spiced, though a little on the weak side for me. That said, it came with two delicious shortbread cookies, which was such a lovely touch. Overall, great food, a spotless space, and a solid breakfast spot. We'd definitely come back--and just make a couple small tweaks to our order next time. read more

I was visiting the JW Marriott for a weekend business trip and had already eaten at the locations on the resort. My wife visited me the last night to join me for dinner and yet every local restaurant we tried to get a table at was solidly booked. So, we came to Yelp and found that Restaurante Los Primos had great reviews and upon calling they had a table. So, we headed over. Upon pulling up to the restaurant we realized it wasn't a high end place, instead a strip mall restaurant. Honestly, we thought of leaving since we were hoping for something a bit different. But, we were hungry and had already spent an hour trying to find a place to go. Walking in, it wasn't near what we'd hoped for, but since Yelp had proven right in past gambles we took a chance. What RLP was lacking in location and atmosphere, it made up for in friendly and welcoming service and a delicious dinner. The roasted beet salad was quite good! With candied walnuts and blue cheese, it was full of flavors. The salmon was cooked perfectly and my ossobucco was great as well. I feel their service and food belong in a different location. Rooting for them. The best part was the service with the meal a close second. Glad we couldn't get a table elsewhere as it was fun to find a little gem in Palm Desert. read more

Restaurante Los Primos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Palm Desert, California

We came here for lunch based on the great reviews. This location was in a nice looking strip mall, the restaurant had about 15 tables with a couple of tables outside as well. All but 2 of these tables were filled when we arrived for lunch. They offer breakfast and lunch during the lunch hour. They had some nice soups and salads, tacos, burritos, burgers and sandwiches. We ordered the chicken tacos and the open faced chipotle tuna melt. Although the tacos may sound simple, their combination was delicious. They placed a nice dab of guacamole as the base, filled with chicken, grilled onions and bells, pico de gallo and a chipotle sauce drizzle. They nailed the flavor combo. The tuna melt was served on top of cornbread which gave the tuna and Gruyère cheese a complimentary taste of sweetness. They also stacked avocado and tomato for bites of freshness! This was really a great grouping of flavors. The service here was excellent. We were having a bit of a business conversation and our waiter took care of our drink refills quickly and without interrupting us. He cleared our plates when we were finished and noticed when we were ready to leave and helped us settle our bill. So glad we found this place on our visit to this town. read more

Restaurante Los Primos - Breakfast burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Palm Desert, California

The service here is possibly the best of the coachella valley! On a Friday lunch hour, they were busy but we were still seated immediately and treated with so much attentiveness. We ordered a burrito and chilaquiles. The associate heard me mention that I was sharing the chilaquiles and the kitchen went out of their way to make two perfect half-portions so me and my boyfriend could have our own plates. They're so thoughtful! And the verde sauce was incredible. I usually love to lather on hot sauce to my food, but it was perfect as is. The burrito was also a generous portion, we took the second half to go. The restaurant is cozy and clean. We came in hungry so we ate fast and were out in less than 30 minutes - which speaks volumes to how good their food and service is. read more

Restaurante Los Primos continues to be my #1 favorite restaurant in Palm Desert. Why ? Quality. Flavor. Quantity. Excellent Price. A real value proposition for the quality of food delivered. If you haven't tried it yet .. do it. You'll discover that it's easier to dine here and maybe cheaper even than cooking at home and don't be surprised if you make it a daily appearance. read more

We went here on a recent vacation to Palm Springs and this was definitely the best Mexican food we had while there. We started with the bag bang shrimp, and then had two kinds of enchiladas, the stuffed chicken, and a quesadilla. All were very good. I'd give the edge to the stuffed chicken, and we preferred the green enchiladas to the red. The hot salsa was also tasty (and actually spicy). I'd skip the bang bang shrimp next time - kind of tasted like it has been reheated from frozen fried shrimp. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I searched Yelp for a high rated place for breakfast and Los Primos was on top. It's located in a strip mall near el paseo. At first glance I thought oh, this may be a mistake ( it's not a huge restaurant). But as soon as the food was served I understood the high ratings . I had the short Rib enchiladas, they were awesome! I highly recommend this place it seats about 40 and by the time we left was almost full on a Tuesday morning in June. read more

Restaurante Los Primos - Short rib enchiladas! If you enjoy great food the flavor is memorable. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Food is really tasty; service is speedy and courteous. This is my mom's favorite diner in Palm Desert. The space is charming and bright; there's a beautiful view of the mountains to the west. I had the banana walnut pancakes. It was a short stack of three. They were lacy , light, and delicious. Mom got a veggie omelette, and her potatoes on the side were irresistible. I had to have a couple. Even her sourdough toast was so good that she commented on it. Last time, I had the chilaquiles, and they were excellent. Highly recommend this place for your morning or afternoon meal. P.S. They have cafe de olla (with cinnamon and Mexican brown sugar), served in a little Mexican jug! read more

When you drive up, it looks like just another Mexican restaurant. However, Once you enter, it becomes this "Elevated Mexican" cuisine. Nicacia was gracious, helpful, and professional in describing the food, restaurant history (2 cousins own and are the chefs), and the more recent opening of dinner hours. This place has diverse dining patrons and on point with all the fish tacos, salsas, y todo. Go surprise a loved one with a great home cooked meal amongst kind people. read more

Came here cause we were in the area for lunch. I got the short rib tacos. It was filled with lots of meat! It was really good and filling! It came with homemade chips and salsa. My husband got the blueberry French toast which at first he thought it was a mistake, but after trying it, it was really good! It was like a bread pudding bread and pan fried with something to make it crunchy topped with fresh blueberries. It was actually really good! We were told the chilaquiles were very popular. Our friend said it was really good. She said the Carne asada was very tender. Our other friend had the ahi bowl. She said it was good. All-in-all this place is pretty good! I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Restaurante Los Primos - Shrimp tacos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Palm Desert, California

We tried this place due to its 4.9 rating.. No.. no taco Tuesday first off... second each taco plate was $22, that's absolutely obscene. for 3 tacos... the shrimp was dry bland and absolutely nothing special. The short rib taco seems like it came from a can.. Mahi tacos, dry, can't put paprika, cayenne and salt and call it special... now with that said, if you came back to reality and had each taco plate for $8 ok... but $22... stop it... a total bust... sad was very hopeful read more

Came here for a quick lunch while in the area. We tried the carne asada torta as well as the burrito. Both were pretty filling and tasty! The service was quick and friendly. Not as many chips with the salsa with the burrito entree, but that's a minor issue. Easy parking with the parking lot in front as well. read more

3.5 This restaurant is in a strip mall. It's small, but there's indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is friendly and attentive. We visited on our first night (a Friday), shortly after flying in, arriving at 7:10. There was plenty of seating. It was as if it was 10pm in this part of town! We ordered the guacamole and salsa and sake margaritas to start. I was surprised by the small dishes with guac and salsa. For $12, I expected more. The chips and guac were good and chips were refillable. The salsa and chips could have used salt. The margaritas were interesting. Very sweet. No liquor here, but beer wine, Coke products. I ordered the crispy shrimp appetizer, which came with a sweet slaw. Flavors were bold. It was tasty, but a bit sweet for me. The price point was great for the amount of shrimp! The hubs ordered the ahi tacos, which he said were very good. They were enough for a meal. Another generous price point. I think if we had ordered off the entree menu, we may have enjoyed the food more. We just weren't hungry enough. read more

Will definitely return to try out their lunch and dinner menu. Cheers! read more

Restaurante Los Primos is a hidden gem in Palm Desert. The staff is always friendly. They offer an upgraded Mexican Food experience. They use Ribeye instead of standard flank steak, which is what I mean by upgraded. They also serve Burgers and Fries, which makes it easy to please anyone in your party.

I came here based on the recommendation of a fellow Yelp Elite. It has to be one of the top 3 diners I have been to.

Bravo to Los Primos all around! We were in town for Stagecoach and this was the first restaurant we went to for breakfast. We ended up coming back everyday for brunch because the food was so good and reasonable. The seared Mahi tacos were amazing I got them twice - the Tuna Melt was different because it was on cornbread (which I love!). There is a reason why Los Primos has such high ratings on yelp - the food is amazing! read more
