We originally came down this way to see the Christmas lights at Callaway Gardens, and after asking…read morea few locals where to eat, everyone pointed us to El Primo Mexican Restaurant. Let me just say -- I am SO glad we listened. It's about 7 miles down the road in Hamilton, a place we'd never been to and didn't know much about. The storefront is simple and unassuming, but the moment you walk in, it's warm, welcoming, and inviting -- the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable. We ordered beers, I had a premium skinny margarita with a Tajín rim (chef's kiss ), and we shared the combination fajitas. And the food... WOW. The food is freaking amazing. No really -- the food is freaking amazing. Let me say it one more time -- the food is freaking amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service was awesome -- friendly, attentive, and genuine without being over-the-top. This is not a fussy, pretentious spot -- it's just really, really good food, great drinks, and excellent service. We live in Atlanta, but honestly? I would drive out here just to eat at El Primo. It's that good. If you're anywhere near Callaway or passing through Hamilton, this place is an absolute must-stop. You want good Mexican food, good drinks, and a great atmosphere? El Primo is it.

This is the BEST Mexican food I've had since moving to GA. No matter what you order, be sure to add an order of "Chile Torreados" for $2. Roasted jalapeños & green onions.

The smell of a hot fajitas sizzling soon as we walked through the door. it looked and smelled delicious. There was no need to look at the menu. I was sold. Ordered texas fajitas, water and sweet tea and 1 coca cola. Canned drinks are sold individually, $1.80 per can. fresh salsa! delicious. The owner, Ms. Lorena was nice upon check-out.

Finally…read moregot the chance to try it, and I don't know if the built up anticipation caused me to expect more or the restaurant just didn't meet some minimum standards. The host who sat us was friendly enough. The restaurant is spacious with the expected Mexican decorations. Our table was not clean, and the host didn't notice. I asked the next person who came by to clean it, and she was happy to do it. It gave me hope that this was a minor issue, and we'd enjoy the rest. Unfortunately, it was the least of the issues. The server kept forgetting things we asked for and disappeared. We never got a refill on anything. He came back and apologized, but it seemed disingenuous. We were happy to leave, and unfortunately, we might not return - at least until we forget about this experience. Like: Quesadilla (flavorful steak, but one side did not have any on it); cheese dip (didn't get a refill on chips) Dislike: Hawaiian fajitas (great flavor; steak was tough with gristles); service (kept forgetting things, didn't refill anything, disappeared)

The booth was very cramped ... but we made it work…read more The restaurant was decorated in a typical Mexican restaurant way with bold colors and items from Mexican places around strategically. The menu was disappointing kind of big but it was a more Americanized version of Mexican food and I was looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant for dinner. The photos of the food are of more authentic dishes, but when you come in, read the descriptions on the items you realize that the owners have pretty much designed or reimagined all the dishes but for an more American target audience - not a bad thing for them but not the experience I wanted. I order the flautas (rolled tacos) 4 came with the order, guac & sour cream plus lettuce and tomato (I asked for them to leave that off I wasn't going to eat it anyway) no rice or beans I had to order that extra (‍) My son ordered a French fry appetizer My mom a chicken & steak plate. The chips & salsa were ok. Salsa lacked any real spice or flavor it tasted like tomato and oregano. I didn't have any. I ordered an horchata & it was fresh & delicious & the mug it came in was also pretty cool looking. My son really enjoyed his fried zero complaints there they had queso, chorizo & pico on them. My mom enjoyed her plate as well. My food was "ok" the meat in my flautas lacked seasoning & they were extremely greasy. The guacamole was tasteless & looked very unappealing so I didn't eat that, the rice & beans were very good delicious actually, the rice was probably my favorite part of my meal. Overall good definitely not terrible just not terribly authentic maybe somewhere in the middle.

They called me Mija and I seriously believed I was Mexican until I was 7 and began to learn about the differences between chosen family and blood family. All of that to say this is the first ever time I've eaten in a Mexican restaurant and not needed to salt my beans! I've also never seen Machaca on a menu. Tonight, with soon to be new family... our kids are marrying tomorrow, I was transported back to memories of old family. It was a lovely meal. The server was just the perfect amount of attentive, and the as we walked up I could tell the ambiance was going to be good... because the food smelled delicious from the curb! Highly recommend, will not be disappointed.
